Hi In what video did you begin oil?

Congrats on making it to phase 4!!! Now the real game begins... ^_^ Also tip of the week: Use CTRL + CLICK to transfer ALL items of that type to a container (or spaceship in this case)

Honestly, best video editing in the Satisfactory space in my humble opinion. Every video is great Doc and team :)

you can also do it by spliting it by 2 then 3 and 2 again then if you do 1st spliter at 2 you will have each generator across eachother and will better look without losing efficency

Wooooooooi

I remember I settled on this design a couple years ago when trying to figure out every combination of 1 through 10 inputs and 1 through 10 outputs. I love this strategy because it perfectly splits everything, but one fault it has is that it slightly reduces your input. Usually this doesn't matter but is there a nice way to solve this?

My belt work and yours have a lot in common, and I appreciate I'm not the only one :) Looking great out there Doc! Great camera work too by the way, Editing is phenomenal in my opinion.

I remember when u had 10 subs, youve grown quite alot. Really enjoying the videos. How many hours do u have on ur satisfactory playthrough now?

I've thoroughly enjoyed your satisfactory journey, we've come such a long way!

The issue with this solution is that an assembler takes 2 inputs, so if you build with only one of the inputs in consideration, the other one will not be correct, and you will need to over/under-clock anyways

Or just downclock your constructor to 12/min :P

Heyy Mr. Doc, loving the blind playthrough so far, and its really nice to see an honest take on the game instead of just megastructures and huge nuclear setups. Screws are a huge hassle to ship around via belts and you might find it easier to ship rods around and make them onsite, its alot more compressed on the belt. ex: for reinforced plates, you can run the screws though its own crafter at 40/minute, and straight into the assembler. for max efficiency you can also underclock the assembler to 66% for eat screws at exactly 40/min, or at least pretty close. Using manifold style splitters for both inputs goes a long way even at mid-tier belts, easier to ship around and saves some power. Hope this helps!

It's possible! I've being watching Kibitiz for a few years and he has being playing throughout the development of the game. He just ended his last season after 2 years building his factories! A lot of good tips too on base building, etc. Is all about input and output and calculating how many resources you gonna need and production machines you gonna need to produce a determinate resource on a reasonable pace. There's also a in-game calculator, so you can do the math more easily without needing to open a calculator outside of the game.

You can put the polimmer resign in the Awesome Sink. so you dont have to build more storage containers.

I always found that making plastic containers with the resin then packing water to put into the awesome sink was my way to deal with the storage issues of all my items. I also used to put a splitter with more Awesome Sinks helped my storage issues as well, and got me tickets too :). sometimes just getting a sink to drain all your excess products is just what has to happen.

I'm a bit surprised you aren't using the sink more. If there's a solid product you don't or can't use for the moment then your best option is to sink it if only to keep the machines going. That includes cases where the belts back to base aren't complete yet. For building belt trunk lines you can make a belt tower blueprint using the small pillars or beams if you want to keep your belts together. In terms of power, you should have a crude oil to fuel recipe available, which should produce 40 fuel for 60 oil. Personally I would build a high (40m up) 13x13 platform somewhere and pump 180 oil up to it. Put in a belt lift down, with it going to a splitter and then a sink. Then on the platform have the oil run into three refineries to produce fuel. Use that 120 fuel to fill a large storage tank or 2 and then into 10 generators. As you get better recipes you can upgrade the fuel production process (and put in more lifts and/or a water pipe) to reduce oil usage. The reduction in oil use can then be used to supply one or more duplicate 13x13 platforms with more generators. This should make many of the power issues largely go away, especially if you duplicate this setup in one or two other places. Later on you can use the waste resin for a variety of things, but upgrade the splitter next to the sink to a smart splitter set to overflow into the sink first. Note that you can change conveyor splitters and merger into other splitters and merger in the same way you can change a wall or window type. You select the new type and then ctrl-click on the item to be replaced.

Fixing the title 😅 `Finally Sorting out our Energy Problems (for now) with Oil`

Dear Doc, keep in mind that smart splitters can help a lot when solving issues related to backed up lines. No need for thousands of storage containers :D

I was just going to say that the fluctuating power production is fixable, but you got right on it. Also, you expanded the storage for the resin, but don't forget that you just unlocked the smart splitter. ;)

Here’s the trick. Turn all the machines off except the one at the very end, let it get overfilled, then turn on the next one, rinse and repeat and you’ll have the whole line balanced in a fraction of the time

So glad you mentioned the manifold method. It's one of my favorite methods for balancing incoming resources. Like you said it takes a minute to spin up but because I use a more modular building style it doesn't really bother me that much considering I spend a lot of time traveling from location to location/setting up vehicles to bus outputs to a localized storage. Really awesome stuff here Doc keep it up.

I only do the single line method, allows more compact factories in my opinion, especially when stacking constructors. But I call it the "waterfall" method because that's fun. 😂

where ever i can avoid screws, i do it. this does involve getting alternates. also try to use the belt elvators so you can make the blueprints more compact, that way you can get input and outputs in the same blueprind for every machine ( also for the bigger machines )

Incredible.

This guy knows his stuff!

I love the way you make this really really simple to understand. the concept behind the design and how you achieve it. love it and subbed

Kind sir!... I'm going out on a limb here, cause this is a very Satisfactory channel... ;-)... Pls check the trailers and some gameplay of a game called Foundry... Minecraft meets Satisfactory,,, in a very large, destructible world... Could be something for the channel!

recycled plastic alternative recipe is your solution

Great video! Good to se another player also making mistakes and solving problems as they come. Keep it up! :)

While sprinting, to go faster, hold your crouch button to slide, then jump right after you begin sliding. You can go extremely fast like this, however it doesn't work too well on slopes without the bladerunners.

subscribed! awesome video man!

Great video! I just found your channel and I will definitely continue to watch! I just started my production of modular engines last night!

This game can sure get your screws loose. LOL

I just found your channel tonight, so I don't know what you know or don't know, so any info is not meant to insult you only to help if needed, but you are doing a good job from what I see. One thing mentioned in another comment was the conveyor floor holes need to be bought in the awesome shop with tickets from the awesome sink. And the second part to line them up, do you know there is a "WORLD GRID" You don't need to use it all the time but if you start a foundation and hold ctrl while you place it, it will be lined up with the world grid. Now if you build another foundation a mile away and hold ctrl while placing it, if you were to make a 'road' of foundations between them, it would line up exactly with the other foundation, so with that info you should be able to make the upper and lower holes line up. You can also build ladders with conveyor poles or buy ladders in the shop and just put up a ladder to get up a cliff.

Hey man I love this so much I just ran past your channel and this is super high quality! You’ve earned yourself a subscriber!

Loving the series so far. I'm playing catch up now since I've found your channel. I found you through a CZcams short. Even if it's been some time, congratulations on your retirement; I hope you're enjoying it!

Great work, keep the up whit the innovation in you industry and discover better ways to do the logistics as you progress, thats the best part of the game. Greetings from Argentina

Im a little to late to the series but i will watch every last episode!

For those wondering about just using manifolds (one belt with a splitter for each output). Manifolds work for most cases. But when the input changes at all it can have a pretty strong negative impact on output. When you load balance even when input changes the output stays balanced. So in big factories it is important to load balance to keep the output balanced.

Im literally at that situation right now in my game 😂😂

Thankfully water never runs out!

Oh my word, the screws are such a hurdle lol. I actually found out there was an alternate recipe that has Iron bars to screws, that one helped. Not sure if it's more effective per iron ingot, but it's a nice option. Factory is coming along rather nice Doc!

And I am just doing one belt, multiple splitters on it... I count approx how much output I have and than build approx ammount of construction facilities to use the material.... No load balancing, just manufacturing with reserve pretty much

Hello Doc, I'm a relatively experienced Satisfactory player. You bring me the joy we all experience as new players. I wish I could forget everything I know so I can enjoy it again from scratch. Your passion for the game is refreshing. Keep going mr Doc!
