- In this video we are checking out my Main Bus design with open top production floor. Key elements to this design was future proofing, easy setup and expand-ability.
#Satisfactory #MainBus #SatisfactoryDesign - Hry
What do you think of this design? What would you have done differently?
why don't you make second floor bus, which is going backwards to your current bus? like with motors, but second floor, instead of changing direction of one of the lines
My question is, is there a trick to laying the foundations? Some way to easily lay those thousands of pieces? I would love a base but can't justify laying foundations for hours. Is there a way to click-and-drag an area I'm not aware of?
@@theral056 you can use the interactive map to spawn geometrical shapes using foundations. And it's not cheating because there is an option for it to use resources from your storage boxes.
Pro tip: foundations have a "front" side but there is no indicator witch side it is, but using the interactive map to spawn like "roads" (what I use mostly) the front of the foundation is where it will tile from so if you click on a foundation right click /spawn around foundation/ let's say a 5 wide 12 long. It will use the clicked foundation as a starting point spawning 4 blocks on Each side and 12 long away from it. If it's in the wrong direction reupload your save and the. Rotate that foundation 90 degrees till its facing the right way and the. Respawn your shape
Hint: Glass Ceiling. I did this design, made a few modifications along the way, and the glass ceiling made all the difference in the world seeing where lines go.
2 years later and still relevant. Well done!
That satisfied my OCD better than gridding my peas! I'm totally stealing your idea for my bus. Genius. Good job.
Thanks! I hope it helps you make a more organized buss and base.
The first question psycologists ask when declaring OCD is how clean your factory in satisfactory is
Thanks for sharing your setup and ideas!
Thank you so much for making this video! I've been watching tons of videos trying to find one that explains a good way to bus raw product from the nodes to your factory and here it is! The ceiling ideal you had for the conveyor lifts was great! Don't know how many of those lifts I've had to deconstruct lol.
"OCD Neat" loved that phrase you used. This is a great design, I just started playing and will be using some of the techniques you showed here. This game is definitely pushing my OCD to the max ☺️
I'll need to watch it some more and your other videos to get my head around managing constructed items and how they end up in assemblers etc. Looks awesome.
Very helpful! Just got my first bus up (or in progress, anyway) and it's finally bringing some order to my base. Grouping the stacks by twos and stretching up to the ceiling to split and merge are great tips!
Very nice video. I love seeing videos like these where it’s not just a play through, it’s more of a guide and it gives me ideas on how to be creative and think outside of the box and plan ahead more than I used to. Thanks for the guide
Thanks for the great design and all the hard work, have used this design as a basis for mine, my only regret was not making it high enough at the the start, when I ran out of room I angled the base/bus up by about 48m, I did enjoy filling in all the windows etc on the raise and actually I am quite pleased with the way it looks now
I tore down my whole base after seeing this.
Its a fairly new playthrough and im only on mk 3 belts. After creating the belt hub Im up im to rotors and I have just been producing all items in order. This layout is amazing, its so simple once you get it going....just limited by belts.
This looks just absolutely beautiful. I'm at the stage where I just build it and go with the flow routing items here and there as I see fit. One day it will be as beautiful as yours.
A very nice design. Great tips! Great Job! The audio was quieter than I prefer, though.
A sincere thank you for taking the time to thoroughly explain your method and logic for this variety of a main bus.
Your vid inspired me to do a bus base design like this . But i forbid myself from copying your techniques & designs 😂. This way of thinking made me create some of the most eficcient & clean buildings . But it does take a loong loooooong time 2 set up :P
That's great! That's always been my goal, to inspire. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I personally like the idea of having smaller factories around the map that are producing the basic stuff like plates, rods, wire, etc. and I would transport these items back to base to assemble the parts with the other parts that are coming in. So I would have a main base where I had all of the assemblers and manufacturers and all of the constructer stuff outside the main base. And because I don't like the overflowing method so much I would build many factories around the map and load balance them in the main base. But after seeing your video I think it's actually not important to do a load balance system. Thank you very much for the great Tips!👌
Thanks! I think my next map will be a rail network with lots of smaller bases like you describe. I think it might be the most FPS friendly.
Your bus system helped me better understand how to actually get an idea on how to set a centralized bus system up. thank you so much. Subbed, liked and notified! Thank you.
Great bus! Really good ideas. Thank you.
Really liked, it still blows my mind, I took a long break from Satisfactory and want to build something similar to this. Thankfully zoop mode on foundations allows for rapid building now.
I can't wait to try out the zoop mode! Also thinks for the comment. Its comments like this that made me want to start creating vids again! So THANK YOU!
Love the layout. Puts my spaghetti monster to shame. :) Going to future build along these lines. Thanks for the share!
Really nice bus, ive been looking for a good bus. This one tickled my fancy!
Great video! im attempting to take your idea and modify it into a vertical fed setup. Appreciate the great ideas!
I really like your design thank you for sharing this. :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Very cool idea. Thanks
You have such a big brain. I am so new to this style of game, I love just building things but have no clue how to organise such a large map of stuff. I really wish someone would share their save of the bus so I can learn by being in it and seeing it. Simply amazing, a lot of time, effort and energy went into this. Very wll planned out.
Thanks, great concept.
Thanks for the video! This was helpful!
thanks this helped me so much i cant say how much your tips are appreciated !
Glad you liked the setup!
Love your base design. I have restarted the game three times, and I always use your design, with a few additions of my own. It makes expansion so easy. With update 5, and a new base, I am hoping to expand upwards, as well as along the main bus when I build the new base.
Glad the design still holds up. :D GL!
best design ive seen by far
Nice Design i will copy this :)
Thx!
I like this design a lot. I've played a lot of Factorio and this seems like the kind of design I'd want - expandable and not crowded. I'm on my second playthrough right now and did a main bus where all the conveyors are stacked in a single row. It's a little unwieldy and hard to remember where stuff is. This achieves the kind of expandability I am going for.
Thank you. This was helpful
so clean and efficient :D need to do this in mine
Have fun!
RG_Sha, your base makes me jealous. My base is exactly where you started in, but its sprawling without direction. Seeing your base and video gave me plenty of ideas so thank you! So how do you plan out your production? Do you plan it around the maximum amount of resources your current belt can move, or do you just make a temporary factory to unlock all the current milestones before you build your factory proper? Thanks for you videos! Have a good day!
It depends on how far you want to take the planing. Some people like to just wing it and over produce lower tier to meet demand for higher. If your the kind of person that likes to min/max then there are a few sites you can use to tell you every thing you need to make X amount of an items a min. This is a good site satisfactory-calculator.com/en/production-planner. For the build shown in the video I was going for expendable with out knowing what would be needed later. IE: I can always add more to an array, if the array is maxed by belt limitation then I can just add another array further down the buss. There are even a few lines on the buss that feed backwards (or both directions) to consumers. As far as unlocking recipes there are a few rules I use. I only make a few screws in the early game and rush any recipes to stop using them ASAP. Screws are bad and most will say you should never make them. I do spend the first 10-20 hours collecting hard drives to get most the recipes. Once I have them I do a basic layout of what will be where and leave space for "array" (a line of machines). I might just put one machine down to designate what each array is for. I try to do them in a logical-ish order/groupings. I hope that gives you a little insight as to how I play. Hope this helps. Be safe, have fun.
Nice. I just started into my OCD filled rage with this game.
Thank you for inspiration. I destroyed all my spaghetti and awful looking bus and now building similar design. Looks better than I saw from other people.
The new mass disassembly is nice, well better than nothing. Tho taking down 500 smelters with 1000 storage containers, 1500 mergers/splinters and miles of conveyors still takes hours to remove... lol (I had to use mods the last time and it still took a few days). Making an OCD base can take a lot of work.
I like this setup!
Looks good bud.
Looks nice and all clean - really soothing for those of us with OCD ;) Going to try and implement my take on this.
This is very cool, thanks
I need this. Thanks!
Thanks
Just started getting into the game and this is awesome
Thanks! I hope the vid gave you ideas on a build you will have fun with!
You have to watch when you clip a spliter or merger on the belts. It cuts the belt and you get a hacked up belt as seen on the quartz when you removed the spliter, it will cause lag and hang ups as items sit there and spin. Sometimes you have to lay a clean line when removing them.
Good to know. I’ll have to keep an eye on that. Thanks for the heads up.
Any chance of getting an update tour? I really admire this design and am trying to design mine similar. Or maybe you could upload your save file? Either way, wonderful work!
Cheers for that, useful - here comes redesign mk 4. lol
Hey, considering your expendable steel-pipe production (or maybe screws or a similar item hoarding belt speed, there will come a time, where you will have to branch off the belt to avoid lag or jamming, if the production is above MK5 belt speed.
Nevertheless, very useful idea with the centralised bus, I still have chaotic spagetty style, but I know where everything is. In time, I will have to possible move my base to a better and centralised location on the map and bring all the produce there.

Hi. First of all thank you for your effort to deliver this design to us. It inspired me a lot. Wanted to ask you. 3 years passed and may be you figured out how to improve this design with verticality? It would be nice to be able to build several different production zones one on top of another in order to save on space and materials to build. It should be some kind of horizontal and vertical bus.
Thanks in advance for your answer and have a nice day)
I read this a few months ago and it has inspired me to start creating content again. So thank you for the comment! I'll have to play with the idea and see what I can come up with. They added pipes so I'll have to consider that in the design. I think with the start I used for my new lets play a vertical ish bus might be what is need to optimize space. So sorry for the 8m late response but you didn't go unnoticed!
@@RGSha Thank you, great news! Will wait for your new content!
Great video. Maaan this was a lot of work:). Look I'm missing one thing thou: how to bring the buses lines to a manufacturer for example? Cheers
Coming soon... I"M BACK
I'll take this bus as an idea for my world and construct a 2nd bus on top for the Pipes
How did you handle piping out items for assemblers and manufacturers, ones with more than one in port?
The concept I'm struggling with is maintaining source output levels with what you need. From what I can understand a bus is just an overflow method, you can perfectly distribute resources, because you're just pulling them off.. You're bound by the speed of your belts. Second question, at what stage in game would you start setting up a bus?
Generally when you have unlocked everything and know what you need to make. The problem with this system is when you didn’t produce enough of a tier 1 item, and you insert it right at the end of the bus where you have space you then only use it downstream of that point, unless you go crazy and make the bus run in two directions. Classic factorio problem if you think too small at the start/don’t know how big you need to build.
You Sir, are a friggin genius. I found this game about 2 weeks ago and just couldnt get my head around trying to get everything central with room for expansion until now. Sorry but i am going to borrow your design if you dont mind
Thanks! glad you like the bus.
How do you get items off the lowermost belt on the outside lane of the bus? You can't put a conveyor lift onto a splitter in that position if there is a belt on lane 2 because the 8x4 foundation under the ramp to the outside gets in the way.
I try not to use those 2 lines. I used them at the start of the bus and wen on the inside with the lifts. IE up and over. I think you could still use them and take off them from the inside aisle if you had to. Great question btw. Looks like you made a perfect replica if you found this. 😀 glhf
Power poles would look good ontop of the bump
yea, i'm thinking way too small lol.
If you make a second channel, you should call it sha-2 as that is the current standard for cryptographic hashing
Good base, only advice I have is, it might be beneficial to smelt at the patches.
and the organisation and managment required to execute this is what makes me "afraid" of getting this hella awesome looking game >.>
Its on sale on steam atm. IMO its worth the buy. I have had a lot of fun playing this game. I have even had fun just going to some of my friends games to check out their builds. I've take a break from the game as to not get burned out before the full launch. Every patch brings bigger and better things. Few games offer the sanctification of being able to see your base (or bases) grow. Its in my top 5 for all time fav games and i have played well over 500 if not over 1000 games.
do you have a more current vid re-reviewing this design?
This reply is a year late.... But I currently working on a new design, it will be in my lets play but as they don't do as well on my channel I will be sure to do an updated version with the fluids and such! Thanks for the comment this and the other comments has inspired me to return to creating content again, so again thanks for that!
@@RGSha it's also been about a year since i played (i play about, every 2-3 update cycles on games like this nowadays), but i remember one issue i had was how painstakingly long it took to hook everything up, and then also that performance was getting worse the more belt i added.
i actually started thinking about literally treating my trains as a main bus and just have them go in a straight line down the bus...but i stopped playing before i really started trying it.
@@Layarion I think it was/is seeing the belts. One of the reasons my bus in this build was covered was to hide them so a GPU didn't have to load them saving fps. Not sure if that's still an issue or not tho. I guess i'll find out in a few weeks .. heh
im stealing this
that is one sexy bus
I think my brain just broke
Stupid question but..how do you get a map?
With Quartz on MAM
Do you havea save file for this build?
So... now for pipes...
Yea... I'm not a fan, they kind of irritate me tbh. lol. Maybe i'll get use to them, but I hope for a mod to give greater length from pumps and higher flow rate. Kind of like Factorio :D
dudes since factorio endgame and dyson sphere program nobody using main buss exept early game anymore...
I guess this is what happens when people play factorio before satisfactory, build a 1 layer factory across the whole map. all good though, will steal your bus design
how are you not having performance issues bro??? dam this video made me jelous mate my games unplayable mate and only half the size of yours...im at like 15fps on an i7 8700k- 1080ti - 32gb hyperx…. and half the size base lol
I get like 45-55 FPS when a few things are running. It drops down to 30-40 if I manage to pull something out off every line and get all productions lines going at once. It was lower before the update last week. They improved the fps a lot in that patch. Like 20-30% more FPS on larger factories. I only have a 1060 with an 8 core fx-9590 (AMD). I tend to build out slow enough that not much is every running, maybe 1 or 2 lines behind whatever line I am building out.
@@RGSha ok mate thanks very much for your reply I might double check I got the update and see if it's better otherwise there must b sumtin else I'm doing wrong :(
