First and, likely, only membership on CZcams, and will be worth every penny! Never been able to get into games like this in my own time but being able to watch someone like Darren who both knows and loves this genre of game makes them accessible to people like me who have neither the time nor the patience to invest into them. Much love, dude
I just started harvesting those oil nodes in the Northern forest with a plan to make a power plant so these build videos are gonna help me so much
Its so nice to se how youve grown, not only as a player, but also as a content creator. The cuts, the cadance and the structure of your vids! Great frikkin job man! Oh and i love that you keep reminding us of those "small" things like 1meter foundations, how to snap blueprints and all the other tips. Been watching since your brutalist starter factory in series one and... Damn bro... Im genuinly impressed!
It's mesmerising watching Darren play.
Being an old git myself, he does everything twice as fast as I do, including talk and maths lol
Finally, a new episode of my favorite youtube serie.
I think I have watched almost this whole series this week, along with several of the streams. It made me get back into the game too. When I was playing path of exile I really didn't want to ridgedly follow a build guide, I was like "that changes it from playing a game to assembling IKEA furniture". I have gotten farther than I ever have before but most of my factories are built straight ahead and only have 2 or 3 final product machines. I think after I plan out a "proper" factory and feel like it's really in my brain I'll be revisiting a lot of these videos though and fixing all my half made IKEA furniture lol.
I actually feel how you do... in my first series people got mad when they couldnt see how to rebuild exactly what I did one to one. I thought, man, thats a weird way to play the game. You're more doing data entry than creative problem solving at that point (your take on Ikea furniture is more accurate!)
But with this series I decided to lean into the build-along mentality, and if people want to follow 1:1 thats fine, but I always encourage adding your own ideas ontop or making what I build more efficient as its not always completely perfect, or there's room for more. With my iron factory, there was like 200 ingots left over, so that's room for people to use that in whatever way they want perhaps. I am please this time around seeing many people in my discord post screenshots of my builds that they've altered to fit their world. So that's been nice!
@@WhatDarrenPlays Yeah for me the follow-along aspect is more of an inspiration than a set guide on how to play the game. I'm never going to do anything exactly the same way as he does, but the build-along style gives me ideas on where to start maybe, and makes me feel more engaged with the series. It's very helpful to know what * a * solution might be, even if I'm not going to follow that to a tee.
@@WhatDarrenPlays To be honest people learn by repetition. Some people lack general experience to go further then attempting to complete milestones, what are beginning not the point of the game. Seeing how to do things in scale and how design more effectively, they would come with own ideas over time.
You could get way more out of the Oil when you used the heavy oil residue and packaged Diluted Fuel Alternate recipes. It is pretty easy to set up and you get way more fuel than with the standard Fuel recipe.
This is what I was thinking during the math in the beginning.
Wow Darren !! Such a good episode !! Since ep1 of serie 1, rythm is better, cuts, time lapses, a bit of tease for ep 2 on this oil factory. Eveything is well explained. 1h10’ is perfect timing. Cant wait to fire this place up and watch you do the cosmetic on the live stream. Keep doing your amazing work. You are clearly in the footsteps of what Kibitz used to do, even better sometimes. Love it.
Best Saturday with this episode. The best satisfactory content as always
Thank you!
Did some calculations on an alternate recipe. If you were to produce heavy oil residue and then turn that into turbo fuel, you would end up with nearly double the turbo fuel fuel and power output (1280 turbo fuel -> 42.7 GW). However, doing that would also involve building 82.6 refineries and 284.4 fuel generators, which is absolutely wild.I mean, if you like massive construction projects, that would be the way to go.
Yeah I considered it, but for a “first” oil factory I considered this big enough but not insane/super overwhelming
Love the vids, that being said when you flipped the belts for the residual plastics, the plastic refineries were the ones going the wrong way...at least on the BP I downloaded...
Hi Darren! I learned of you from your Anno 1800 series which i loved and binged all the way. Your videos made me start playing Satisfactory and Cities Skylines too, trying to build along a bit and figure things out along the way, the blueprints and plans and maps you make and share are super helpful!
Though i put the copper caterium factory off for later, that seemed a little above me right now, i've been loving your videos always, keep up the good stuff!
Thanks! It's a good idea to hold off on the copper caterium factory anyways, as it won't be "needed" until something consumes a heavy volume of something it makes. After this power plant though I'll probably do Trains, and then add trains into that factory and it'll finally be able to be turned on and kept on.
@@WhatDarrenPlays awesome, looking forward to it!
18:42 the way he just doged the "bullets" 😂😂😂
Thanks so much for this series, I was really overwhelmed when I first started playing this, I'm completely new to the genre, so building along to start with really helped to ground me in how things worked and what was possible, now I'm much more confident creating my own builds, although still find certain new builds you do like this one incredibly helpful as I navigate how to progress the game, I love seeing all of them and the creativity of course, it's a great series overall :)
Cant wait for the next episode for the fluid dynamics explanation. I have no clue how they work, I built the coal power plant 1:1 and for some reason water just doesnt fill the machines. Ive tried filling them first just to have everything break lol. (Also replaced all the pipes by hand)
Great Video! You inspired me to rebuild mine turbo fuel factory
I really like this series. It keeps me excited to play Satisfactory myself and to try to plan and make better factories. Now that I can also make blueprints myself I find that it is not as easy, to me at least, to make blue prints and to use them. Could you please make a video with all your tips&trics to create and use blueprint designs? I want to create them myself instead of using the blueprints of someone else. Thanks in advance!
Stoked for the U8 Turbo Fuel Episode!!
Excellent content as always Darren! I can only hope to catch up - still doing copper logistics 😂
These videos are so good my friend is new to the game and this is great for us to play along to
If there's one thing this game has taught me about Fuel, it's ABD, Always Be Diluting. Imagine my absolute shock when Darren did not dilute the fuel! If you need me, I'll be on my fainting couch!
That is what I thought he would do, surprised he did not
can you explain please
@@paramjeetsolanki Sure! The default recipe for Fuel turns 3 units of Crude Oil into 2 units of Fuel. With a couple of alternate recipes, you can make that ratio significantly more efficient. First, you need the Heavy Oil Residue recipe, the one with the Polymer Resin byproduct, which turns 3 units of Crude Oil into 4 units of HOR. Then, you need either Diluted Packaged Fuel [Tier 5 with a Refinery] or Diluted Fuel [Tier 7 with a Blender]. The ratios end up being the same, so the Blender variety just adds the convenience of skipping the packing/unpacking steps. These recipes will turn 1 unit of HOR and 2 units of Water into 2 units of Fuel. So at the end of it all, at the cost of some extra production lines and some water, you can basically quadruple your Fuel production, when compared to the default recipe. This approach is also utilized in things like Oil Tripling, which is a large complex setup to get 3 Rubber or 3 Plastic out of 1 Crude Oil.
@@thalandor46 wow thank you so much this is gonna help me a lot. I hope I unlock tier 7 in a month or so
Yep always. Turning all oil into heavy oil residue is the best way for oil.
Once again great video! This is where I decided to build my first turbo fuel power plant and I’m so glad I did. My facility churns out about 50,000MW! Why didn’t I do turbo fuel earlier! Thanks again for all your fantastic content. You are currently my favorite you tuber!
Hi Darren, i am a big fan and player of Satisfactory. Your series are super fun to watch just keep doing what you do. For the life of me, how do you quick select a blueprint (pipette). I think I've seen you do this a couple of times throughout this let's play. Thanks for the entrainment!
41:48 Loch Ness Monster of Satisfactory!?!
43:20 Is that a Bean Egg? Is that where Beans come from?
Wow great job Darren! Setting up a first fuel power plant has always been the most annoying logistical part of the game for me 😅
Just spent all day today building a diluted packaged fuel power plant. It's well worth it to use the heavy oil residue and diluted packaged fuel alternate recipes. One pure oil node overclocked to 600m³/min will yield 1600m³/min of fuel. This nets about 15,000MW.
You TEASE !
Cant wait for next one !
That's exactly where I built turbo fuel plants in two separate saves. The proximity of oil, coal, and sulfur seems intentionally designed for it. Water too, if you want to upgrade to diluted fuel later on.
I wish we had terraforming (even if it was limited in some fashion) I want to have nice landscaped lawns around my factories and basements etc.
I had all these plans planned for the weekend... guess I"ll be playing satisfactory instead :D
Awesome video, the only comment I would make is that if you wanted to save on resources, you can actually decrease the potency of the output conveyors on the fuel refineries based on which direction they're going. E.g., if they're flowing left to right, then the left-most only needs a mk1 between its splitter and the next (with the output being 30p/m) as does the second, and then after that you need 2x mk2 belts, then 2x mk 3 belts, etc.
It's very picky, and may not be worth the effort to be fair at this stage in the game
@Darren I placed down all the fuel refinery blueprints and checked the recipe.. They're all set to Fabric. I had to double check I put the Refinery (1) Fuel blueprint down, and I did.
Oh thanks, there’s a few like that I need to update. Will try to get ontop of it.
it looks good, but not turning oil into heavy oil residue to then convert it to fuel... you esentially would double your fuel amount...
Hi Derren I was wondering what mods you use for satisfactory and where do you get them from.
I am looking forward for the next episode
31:04 cant you just press ctrl or alt or something to replace the merger inplace?
I use the heavy oil residue recipe and turn the heavy oil into diluted packaged fuel then unpack then make a small bit of rubber and plastic with the polymer resin you get so much more fuel that way then combine with compacted coal I forget the exact numbers but from 300 oil I get like 800 turbo fuel or something
cant wait to see the power plant
Hello Darren..love the series. I posted a comment way back on the coal power plant upgrade video. I am stuck and was wondering if you could help...here is what I wrote...i have been following along step by step with you. I got a little lost when you first set up the big coal plant, but thankfully and mercifully you released your save which i promptly downloaded and started using from that point on. Now I am at the 1st expansion of the power plant and i followed you with the powering up of the number of water extractors, I upgraded the 4 miners to Mk2 and over clocked to 200% giving 240 coal per minute. I upgraded all the belts to Mk3 up to the first set of splitter where they change to Mk2 belts and then to Mk1 belts leading to the lifts taking the coal to generator. All of the generators are under clocked to 88.888% Some of the generators all the way to the left of where the belts come in are starved for coal. The first three all work at 100% and have 100 coal in them..the others actually get to 0 coal and go offline until 1 coal comes into it..I have tried force feeding 100 coal into the generators that are missing it and for a while I get a straight line and 4800mw production, but soon after the coal dissipates again from certain generators. For example the far back generator are all working at 100%. Any idea what could be wrong? Appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks
good video!!, i have a cuestion, how many hours that file have?
Just hit 200
Deffo move them domes back a bit, like centreline on the first refinery pipe output
You can do the math in the control panel of the machine?! 🫨🫨🫨
Great series. Honestly the best, most concise, easy to follow how-to for ANY game I've ever played. One question: I don't seem to have the option to build mark two pipes with no indicator. What have I done wrong? Pressing R doesn't give me the option either. I can build mark 1's with no indicator no problem. Just no option comes up for Mark 2 no indicator....Odd.
The no indicator variant is unlocked in the Awesome Shop, just like the Mk.1 pipe no indicator. Things get added to the shop as you unlock milestones so it would t have been visible in the shop until you unlocked the base pipe
And thank you!
@@WhatDarrenPlays Thank you. I figured it out a day before your reply. Can't believe I completely forgot about the awesome shop. Been awhile since I cashed in any tickets I guess.
Same place as I built my first turbofuelplant!
dear darren thasnk you so much for your helpfull content . i will try to build this in somewhat the same fashion . the info you add in your videos is very easy to understand and really helpfull
i cannot wait to catch your next upload greetings from the netherlands
Glad it was helpful!
Just doing my largest oil power plant myself, decided against turbo due to logistics for compacted coal but using alt recipes can get 20000mw from just one pure node at 600 crude oil pm. Will definitely put your method to use though as do want to stockpile some turbo fuel anyway. Enjoying the videos and hopefully get to see nuclear 🤞
Oh nice! Are you using the diluted fuel method with Blenders?
@@WhatDarrenPlays Yep seems to be the most efficient way for normal fuel, just took a while to unlock the recipes. Hopefully keep me with enough power until I can unlock the last few milestones
I have set up huge turbo fuel stations to power 450 fuel generators. And I have set up huge dilluted fuel stations to power 400 fuel generators. I just dont think its worth it to produce turbo fuel for anything other than the jet pack and the turbo ammo.
41:48 "did you see it?"
I started playing satisfactory recently and i cant see the reason to not centralize every resource by dragging long pipelines and conveyor belts to my main location. Can someone explain why building connected factories in different locations is any good?
I'm getting ~20,000 MW from 600 OIL with diluted fuel and heavy oil residue recipes
Question. I understand the current unlock limitations: But for future proofing context. Why chose this method of Oil >- Fuel >- Comp Coal/Sulfur in assemblers >- Turbo Fuel.
Isnt Oil>- HOR>- Fuel>- Pcoke>- Sulfur>- Blenders = Turbo Fuel more efficient? (space/production/power draw wise)
Yeah but Blenders is something I haven't unlocked yet, I did mention at the beginning more advanced players will use Blenders as it is more efficient. It yields the most power out of the Oil possible.
Do you use any mods? If so which ones. This really made me wanna get back into the game, and i think mods would help alot
Hey Darren, amazing build! I'm curious, when you put down the turbofuel refineries, why don't two rows share the same junctions & splitters (where the four rows do not face the same directions, but there are two groups, each with two rows facing each other). Just aesthetic preference?
Its because I wanted to keep things in groups of 4 - 4 groups of generators is the main constraint because they are 2.5 foundations wide, so a line of 17 generators is 42.5 foundations long. Going any longer distance than that is of course possible but itd be quite tedious to run down a line that long.
So i have a line of 17, facing another 17 getting fed from one pipe. Thats one group of generators. To keep it simple for viewers, that one group gets fed by one group of refineries. That way each has their own pipe and it can make troubleshooting a bit easier and the layout more simple to follow. Hope this makes sense (itll be clearer in the next video) and thank you!
Vegetation does grow back. But it takes something live 200-400 in game hours. Eventually, you will have to come back to destroy the same trees. I've got trees growing through the first roads already
I believe vegetation doesn't grow back, its to do with the game updating and also how it handles saving that vegetation can come back by accident. It's not timer based, it happens all at once in certain world tiles. That's my understanding anyways. The official wiki by CoffeeStain says that vegetation will never grow back.
@WhatDarrenPlays I dunno. I find random trees just grown back when other sections are still gone. Like they were never chopped down. It's weird. 😊
Thank you.
You're welcome!
why didnt you u make 270 Oil into 15000MW with Oil->Heavy Oil->packedfuel->fuel->turbo fuel. Thats so damn good kk minus the production costs
The main reason is I find it quite complex. I wanted this to be a relatively simple way to build an Oil facility if you haven't before.
In the future, I'll probably tap all of the Spire Coast to do the Blender Diluted Fuel recipe. This seems to be literally the most efficient thing to do, but you need Blenders and more recipes. I don't even have the alt for Crude Oil to Heavy Oil yet.
@@WhatDarrenPlays I do agree with the complexity opinion about this! I am just finished with my power plant (570oil -> 19.000MW) doing this packaging horror and man that was some work. At least the debugging at the start was minimal. :) Love the way you approach this game Darren, keep up the great work!
Looks like ya only bridged the input sides between the compacted coal blueprints. The outputs don't appear bridged, at least on one of the rows of 6. May want to check the power lines as well. :) Great looking build though, and relatively easy to understand.
Hm will look into this! And thanks
@@WhatDarrenPlays 1:03:15 and 1:03:42 for the first row.
1:09:08 and 1:09:28 for the second.
Can't see the third and fourth rows, but habit is, well... habitual, I guess. :)
how did you get the trucks on a timer?
After you have completed a route and saved it, you can go to the truck stops and interact with the pause node that is placed there. By interacting with it, you can set a time to wait in seconds.
I need this episode so much. I hate power...
I have owned the game for years now, and I am always intimidated to play. It feels so complicated
I recently started playing the game, I already get scared by seeing your videos, seeing the scale of this game and then today you say "for very advanced players they'll do crazy......., but we're not there yet" 😂 I'm scared beyond belief.
Ha, you just have to break things down to smaller components! We've almost unlocked every feature the game has to offer in this playthrough, just trains and drones left to go. Then its just a matter of building bigger scale I guess!
44:47 Bro you forgot to connect the output pipe and belt of the oil refinery that you disconnected for the research.
Fixed it!
Turbo fuel is such a waste as opposed to dilute fuel, i need my sulfur for other things.
I’m new to satisfactory and I have no clue how he gets these equations
What do you think about CZcams satisfactory last video?
There's a lot of thing that wouldn't came to 1.0 and some endgame recipe changes, and biomass burner stollen from mod community
I have very low expectations of 1.0, and I personally didn't expect any of the things they said wasn't coming.
I have never beaten the game, so don't mind them changing end game recipes. I don't mind them changing recipes at all to be honest, as long as people agree the changes feel like an improvement.
And unless they literally lifted the model from the mod community, I wouldn't call it stolen. I think taking ideas from the mod community and putting them in game is great. Taking assets or code from the modding community is not the same, and I wouldn't want that unless they were paid for it.
@@WhatDarrenPlays would you start from the beginning (again) when 1.0 comeout?
I mean we as ficsit employees of course wondering what hapen to Sam ore, the glowing ball and superman stone. And it feels wrong when you play story mode when tier 7-8 already unlock
The blender based recipe can go up to 50,000 Mw
I dont think its ideal for the first oil plant, several tiers before unlocking blenders :P
@@WhatDarrenPlays I agree but I use this very same spot and those two sulfur nodes to make a massive turbo fuel power plant.
What do you have against blenders and diluted fuel? It only took me 2hrs of retries to get the alternative recipe... (I'm now waiting for one last alt recipe for my closed loop nuclear power... Only about an hr and a half of restarting... Instant plutonium cell... cause I do like instant Quaker Oats...)
Curious to see if I missed* anything so I'm gonna watch your videos and thanks for sharing Blueprints without the ransoming of your viewers. I've learned a lot from inspecting your stuff, after the confusion wore off each time... The first step to understanding is being confused... Lucky, I learned that early in my STEM life... Now as an older man, I use games like these to keep my mental faculties challenged... But I've noticed I'm still losing my marbles, even as I consistently pick them up if I notice a few fall out my ears.
__________________________________________________
* Holy crap, I learned alot of stuff I didn't know I didn't know (but I know Idk a lot), from MK3 power poles I forgot about, to being able to place explosives on the trees without going down to the ground to chainsaw them to death... Thumbs up on the video!
So here’s why:
I havent unlocked blenders.
I havent finished tier 7, or the space elevator phase.
Even if I had, I have no aluminium production or radio control units to even build blenders.
As some people are playing along, this is the *first* oil facility ive built, so I’m going with a relatively simple recipe for this first oil based power plant. Gotta walk before you can run!
@@WhatDarrenPlays Well, as I'm been watching your video and I can say I've learned a lot of things from you already:
- Mk 3 poles, whoops I forgot to unlock them... Probably would have helped on my 6, 58 (I prophylactically always take off the tip, so I never do the max possible, which I think is 59) Gen turbo fuel builds;
- I didn't make a little blueprint for my refineries... So I hand built 60 with the feeds... Dumb;
- you can blow up trees instead of going down to the ground...
...and at least 3 other things so far I've already forgotten, I have to take notes... Ffs...
"this is the _first_ oil facility ive built" I read that in the title of the video got overwhelmed by the amount of info I was watching and immediately forgot your intention in the video. I didn't mean to nitpick, I was just curious and if I remembered the title of your video, I could have answered my own question.
With the aluminum production, I would never do it without wet concrete and the alt recipe for aluminum ingots ever again... That was a pain in the butt and I never could balance the water well at all, and I can add, subtract, multiple AND divide!
Thanks for the video, it's helped me and I didn't finish it all the way through yet!
Whats not good about using a 1M foundation?
Foundations of all sizes align their center to the world grid X, Y and Z axis.
So using a 2meter foundation, or 4, aligned to the world grid is fine.
If you try align a 1m foundation, it’ll be 0.5m offset on the Z axis.

hey darren, My game crashes every time it saves. i know it is because i have a lot of stuff in my wolrd, but i have a good pc(i9 13th gen, 4070 Super, 32Gb RAM). Are there any mods or fixes u use? thanks
Unfortunately I don't know. If it's crashing when saving, you may have hit the games object limit.
@@WhatDarrenPlaysthanks for the reply, i don’t have as much stuff in my world as u, but i have many long conveyer belts so i’ll try cut down on those. thanks anyway
is this game ever going to be a full game instead of a early access game I've seen post from 4 years ago so this game should have been a full game by now
The next update is 1.0 full release. Probably in a couple months time.
I like this videos game
First 😂
Thank you again for all your efforts Darren!
Thanks!
Oh I've just noticed that when working out the output for the Turbo fuel you've calculated it using the underclocked one.
@@XxBR00KSYxXGamingglad I’m not the only one who noticed that. I was like what? That’s not right! Lol
I gotta watch this at like 0.75 to be able to follow what you are saying lol.
oh Darren, where is your total war?
I wonder that myself
aha it s not too late! a good ol' DEI h2h campaign could surprise and put in light THE wonderfull game Divide et Impera Rome 2 is to your new public ! please!@@WhatDarrenPlays
is he using mods?
No
Please do not use valves and buffers in this sort of situation - at best they do nothing at worst they create or hide problems.
actually when used right they can be helpful - valves prevent backflow, which usually helps with getting full 600 pipes, and buffers can be used as "water towers" for a similar purpose.
