Yay thanks i'll wait for the next one
love these videos man! cant wait for the next one!
Will this series continue?
Edit: I’ll take that as a yes 😁
I made my way all the way to Tier 7/8 with the help of your video! I'm now more efficient when i'm building my base, but i can't wait for more tutorial!!!
really hope you continue this series as its been amazing. probably the best beginner guide I've seen on youtube so far and has given me a lot of inspiration on how setup my factory more smoothly and where to go next. cheers
This series is awesome!!!
I started a second playthrough following your guidelines and it's doing great.
This is actually my second time starting; the first one is a mess but I got to start steel and got overwhelmed and took a year break. Now I'm excited again!
I really need a part 5! I've watched every part so far. Very useful tips & tricks. Super cool that I can follow your steps and do the same. Can't wait for a part 5!
me too!!
Wow another great episode! Thank you for putting this series out there it’s incredibly helpful, so thank you so much!
Broooo. I need the next video hahaha. Your content and tutorial videos have helped me immensely with navigating this game. I have a few hundred hours in factorio so the ratio knowledge carries over well but the set up seems to be a bit different starting and with different machines to learn about, your series has been extremely helpful.
Allready looking forward to the next part of this awesome kow-how-show. This series so far really got me into some ways of how one has to think to make progress in SF! Thanx for that 👍
I am eagerly waiting for more videos! Great job, this has improved my gameplay so much. I did have a REALLY hard time finding which coal ore you went for but finally figured it out and Im up and running on coal for the first time, thanks!
Was anxiously waiting! Love this serious and your format! From one dad to another, keep it up!
Thanks! 😊
I use the first water extractor to charge the first two goal generators. Once they are full of coal and water, they carry the load for the rest of the power needs. This way only need biomass to power one miner and one extractor. By the time I built the rest, coal and water have filled pipes/belts. Loved your video!
I hope you come out with a new episode soon ive been really enjoying this series and its been really entertaining, i just got satisfactory and youve made me understand the core componets of the game. Thanks
I started playing the game by looking at your tuto... cannot wait to have the next episode! Thanks a lot for this great work.
I'm over at Long Beach area but really enjoy watching these videos and following along, altering your methods to suit my location 😁
They're so helpful and so informative, I find myself coming back to watch em multiple times.
Please carry on with this series if you get the time! :) I look forward to the next video 👍
Could not wait for the episode. Kept refreshing channel feed to see if it's there :D thank you 🎉🎉🎉
Keep up the great work man, I don't know if you hear it enough, but you're killing it and your walkthroughs are a HUGE help!
nice series man, i just started playing this game and you're helping me a lot.
This has been a great series to help a newcomer (me) to the game. Thank you!!
That tip for snapping water extractors to foundations was awesome!
Grest video man! I'm now waiting for the next one so we can set our base up 🔥🔥
Yay its finally here!! Thank you so much I'm a big fan of the series :)
Great video! I was waiting for this. It took me all day, but I finished my power plant.
Nice. 👍
Your video's are so helpful, esp to a newbie, and someone who has difficulty with automation. I will be watching the rest of your videos on Satisfactory!
Thanks for the video I apprciate how concise and clear they are.
This stuff is so helpful, Just started playing a few days ago and can't wait for the next one
Awesome video as always! Im anxiously waiting for the next episode :D
Amazing tuts man, I have learned so much from these, keep up the good work. Me and the rest of commentators are impatiently waiting for the next tut, I hope everything is ok, coz it's been almost 2 months since last one.
Please keep this series alive! Really appreciate it as a new player
Love the series I've followed it to a T and can't wait for the next one!
Love all these, super useful! Kinda wish you had one for everything in the game haha
Thanks. This is a huge help and I got my coal burners up and running! Woot!
i love this guide man, best off them all👍
This game really does deserve the 2023 labor of love award
Due i reeeeally need thhe next part!! youre helping me out big time
I love the video, I have been playing satisfactory since the first time it came out but the issue of fluids is always a headache, thank you
Can't wait for the next video, I'm kinda lost right now❤💪
best guide ever i hope you will upload the next part soon
I’ve never noticed noodle mode for pipes. Thank you!!!
Great video again!
Just a headsup: You CAN use only 3 Water Extractors for the 16 Coal Generators, overclocked to 200% ofc.
I always thought that if you fed more water to the pipe than it can handle (300m² in this case) it would just ignore the excess. Turns out it doesn't care and it can handle it. Did it on my current save and was surprised with this, helped me ramp up faster more power. Probably has to do with what you said about a single pipe not handling more than 300m² on its own.
Waiting for you at the end of phase 3!
Yea if you feed them in the middle and ends you could totally do that. I hate spending shards this early in the game so I tend to not do that but it's a valid and easy way to scale up!
I have my coal power plant in the same area. I also put my crystal oscillator factory there as well, elevated above the first two coal miners and level with the iron node. I was able to get the iron wire and stitched reinforced plating so I can run it off of the single iron node. I am pulling the quartz from the cave as it is a bit closer than the nodes across the water. I am doing brutalist builds this playthrough and I am really enjoying exploring the style. I have quite a bit of extra concrete from my encased beam factory so concrete isn't a problem. My builds are looking futuristic '70's brutalist style which is quite a mashup. Haha.
Nice, that sounds cool. Yea the quartz in the cave, that place is fun... lol. I just googled that mashup, and that looks sweet. I'll have to try something like that.
9:10 Story of my life in every playthrough. Power grid fails while trying to add power to the power grid. This game is basically "Make More Power With The Power That You're Using To Power More Powerful Power Generators, Before Your Power Runs Out, With More Powerful Power Generators: The Game"
Im so hype for the UBG5 !!!
When do you upload the next episode? I just finished the coal generator setup and saw that you didn't continue the series.
The foundation under the water surface trick blew my mind
that missing a generator messed me up so bad, i kept recounting wondering why it didnt look like yours but luckily i just did the same thing as you to fix it
Thanks for showing the math, I need to SEE the numbers in order fully 'get it', and this is also the video I've been hoping for because I already have your 8:3 coal generator set up built, so now this will show me how to double it's size. I'm also really psyched that each video is showing the natural progression of what you'll need to build as the requirements in the game get more and more demanding. This is the exact same spot I have my coal generators set up, however, my base is East of those Coal Deposits you set up, up on that Cliff in the Forest, there's 3 pure iron, 2 pure Quartz, 2 pure copper, 1 pure coal, 2 caterium deposits (one pure) etc up on that ridge. AWESOME trick, with the lower foundations to snap the water pumps. (lol, I keep editing my comment because I'm rambling while I'm watching). Interesting change, having the pipes ABOVE the belts instead of the old way of having the belts above the pipes.
Why don't you need inline pumps for the water pipes? Is it because they're less than 2M Up?
The water extractors provide a headlift of 10m high already, so we don't need to use pumps in this case. If we had the platform higher, then we would need pumps to lift the water up.
@@spectrumdad_ Ah thanks, I've been obsessing over getting the platforms for the generators the perfect height so the pipes are all flat with no lift. (Your first coal factory video)
Now I can use your new technique of using the platforms to snap the water pumps.
I have built all of this with you and now I NEED MORE. I hoping you are releasing more soon. I don't know where to go from here.
Thanks for these videos. I bought the game only 2 weeks ago and I would have been lost without getting these basic tips from your videos.
Keep up the great work!
Patiently waiting for the next episode 😬😬😬
Awesome set of videos, any plans for more and starting layouts for factories? Also when you do your videos could you some times look around to show how things placed usually you setup stuff but you don't take a moment to just look at what your building a few friends following your videos said it was hard to see what the final results might look like in some sections. Anyway awesome videos enjoyed them so far :D
I always found the starter area to get cramped pretty quickly tbh, it's nice to see the second option is actually better.
Love the episode and build 😍 keep it up 😊👍 if you need someone else to build with I play this game too 😀
Found it significantly easier to just set up 8 of the 16 coal generators first, that way the whole system is easier to kick-start and you need less materials in case your main factory started running out of biomass.
Watching you but those rotors from the awesome shop gave me physical pain 😂
Cool setup though! I like to build my coal basically south of there on the plateau where there are 3 pure nodes. Probably not the best use of pure nodes but it works for me because I can easily scale it over the course of the game to do I think 11GW ish?
Haha sometimes you have to do it. I always end up with hundreds extra tickets I can’t do anything with, so sometimes it’s worth it to power through some big phases. Also I’ll be using those nodes for steel soon, that’s why I didn’t go there. And I usually try to go for fuel as soon as I can instead of going too nuts with coal. But I’ll usually have about 3600mw of coal before making the switch.
u r so fire bro thank you
Subscribed, liked and thankful for your tutorial! Now i understand some things a bit better than before. I was confused about the pipes.
Also the layout looks more clean than ours. We mainly had problems with the water.
But i wanted also to ask, what mod is that ressource thingy on the right? I absolutely love it!
Are you talking about the to do list? It’s built in. Check the first episode of the playlist, I talk about it at the beginning.
Thanks!
My wood refuses to process itself into biomass LOL :-D Leaves get taken from containter and processed into solid biofuel. Wood never starts running out to conveyor. Everything's powered, connected etc. So I am glad I upgraded to coal finally.
Love to se it. Whens the next vid coming out?
Hi. hope you had a good Xmas and new year. Found your series after being away from Satisfactory for a couple of years. I've been playing along but now have got the power plant humming along. So, will you be coming back to the series. I hope so and plenty of people here likely feel the same...... Thanks
are you gonna keep making this kind of content ? CUS IT'S DAMN FIRE
This series has been amazing...
Will there be more episodes?
I hope so. Thanks.
Yes next one out this week
when is it coming out?@@spectrumdad_
😥😢@@spectrumdad_
@@spectrumdad_ new episode when?😭😭
Do you ever consider to share your created world? It wuold be awesome to navigate trough all of this spectacular stuff that you are creating my man!
Knowing what I know now, I usually just start off with 2 Generators both OC'd to 200% with one Water Extractor OC'd to 150%.
Then Double when I get close to the Capacity, 4 Coal Gens can Last me just fine, until I get Fuel Gens up and running.
That definitely works. :)
Are you using any mods in this video? I ask because I have not seen or do not know how to show the required materials I need for my intended build. Great content. Thank you.
Hi Dad made my coal power set up a bit different because once i get to advanced steel I can change the miners to tier 2 then have 32 coal gen running love the vid btw...ok when is next 1 lol
I'm searching on youtube to see if I can find any guide to know what I must do after building the starter factory.
There isn't even a single video to help with it. I built the Starter Factory which produces the basic materials. But I just don't know what is the correct way to continue and expand the factory.
Watch this series. Might help you. Start at the first episode.
For some reason my water extractors arent working 100% efficiency and it keeps getting starved. i had to add anothher two
When can we expect another episode? I'm not rushing you, I get that it's a busy time of a year, I'm just wondering because I really like building along :)
You can mitigate the backflow issue by letting the pipes all fill pretty much as you did. Backflow only seems to happen when there is demand but not constant demand. Let them all fill then place the demand and problem solved.
Likewise if you place a pipe junction and use that to line up both the center gen of the three as well as the water extractor things tend to look a lot better than having so many pipe junction. You do you though. There is no overall perfect way to do anything in this game. Just what is perfect for you.
And, one thing you apparently aren't aware of but most people aren't aware either. Flowers. A better power source than biomass. A stack of 500 burns longer than a stack of 200 biomass. Not as good as solid biofuel, but considering most people sink or toss flowers when they are such great fuel early on it could be noted. And if you wish to sink flowers, they produce 10 points each. Wire only produces 6. Flower Power FTW!!!
Oh cool I didn’t know those flowers were decent like that. I stopped looking at them since the customizer changes.
How do the four generator in the middle get coals? They are always empty. And i have mk2 conveyor between the splitters.
if you preload everything, and you have mk2 belts everywhere and make sure you are sending 120 ore down both sides, it should be getting enough. Double check the lines, turn off a few generators to let things fill up, then turn them back on.
@@spectrumdad_ i forgot to let fill them up! Thnx!
Will you explore trains, drones, and other transportation of loot in this series?
Yes absolutely!
hello Spectrumdad, I am a new player in satisfactory and your new audience. I have a question: should I find a new ore vein for a different setup? For example, I want to build an iron rod and an iron plate factory, so I need to find two ore veins to be the location to build them. I am confused because the veins are not next to each other. This is my first time playing a resource management game, so I am not good at this game. Thank you
You don't need to power all the miners and all the water extractors with the biomass generators. You power 1 water extractor and 1 miner. Just get the water and coal in a couple of the coal plants. Once those are up and running, you can use their power to bring the rest online. You can do this with 1 biomass burner (1 water extractor and 1 miner is under capacity).
Yes for sure. I like to finish a build before I turn it on personally but whatever works 🙂
so if im correct this is basically the same setup as you did in a video about a year ago with the times 8 setup just doubled?
yes pretty much, but with pipes above instead of below the belts this time.
A no-foundation play-through!? I am a veteran with over 3 thousand hours in Satisfactory and no foundations is going to be a major challenge to make it look good.
As an Automation Engineer, I was wondering why you chose to use 6 biomass generators to kickstart the coal plant instead of 1 and do a rolling ramp up? Would it not have been easier to connect the 4 miners, 1 water extractor, 1 biomass, and 1 coal plant initially, then once the first plant was online, wire up the rest in sequence, slowly ramping up the power?
My build along game has been on hold for ages, any info on ubg5s release date?? 😀 I don't want to continue without you 😊
Working on it. Soon
I can't seem to get the coal from 3 drills to properly power 8 coal plants
I have the same issue, my coal generators are constantly turning off running out of coal case the conveyor belt can't feed all 8 fast enough, I even tried conveyor belt mk3 to no avail.
Need episode 5!!!!!
I not understand who are the coul notes are is please help
NEED EP. 5!!!!!!! please
Those are rich coal nodes and output 120/min each with tier 1 miner.
They are normal nodes. There is 1 pure but it’s across on top of the plateau.
Is there a new video being done to continue the series?
yes, I'm working on it :)
@@spectrumdad_ thanks, this is my 1st playthrough and is a great tutorial for me of how it works. Keep it up.
You’ve shown me just how wrong Ive spent 300 hours in this game. Thank you.
Wouldn't 8 coal generators still have doubled your power output?
So build half the setup, switch the power to coal, then add the other half. Is what I would have done, anyway.
UBG 5 When?
am i crazy or do i keep hearing factorio sound tracks in satisfactory
👀
Where is part 5?
It's here, finally :)
Let me know if you want a coop buddy - I’m learning the game right now. Just put my first video up ❤
New episode?
Neeeeever buy items/parts in the awesome shop - the ticket prices go up exponentially and it will cost ya lotz. Instead focus on the architecture and construction feature unlocks. Parts can be made using raw materials at a steady pace / fixed effort. The unlocked features cannot. My five cents - other than that it's great stuff in your video :-)
I agree you shouldn't go to crazy with it, and that is why I mentioned that in the video. I think there are key milestones you might want to consider it. Especially when unlocking oil. You either spend time making a small setup to get your plastic and rubber going or, you spend a small amount of tickets to unlock the milestones needed to go straight into a more permanent oil setup. But yes, overall, you don't want to waste your tickets too much.
@@spectrumdad_ totally agreed 🙂
This series was off to a great start really. It's too bad it died after 4 episodes.
But sometimes people get hit by a bus, you never know.
I hope the content creator is ok and everything.
Nope just gpu died waiting on rma to get here…
@@spectrumdad_ oh XD i was quite worried that you might have quit youtube glad to hear that there is nothing like that any idea when the next episode coming out?
Not cool, man :/ You said another ep would be out "this week"... 3 weeks ago. I get that life gets busy and stuff but the complete lack of info apart for a single false one makes me glad I didn't choose to support the patreon as I would feel ripped off. It's understandable when one does youtube completely as a hobby, but I feel it changes a bit when you start taking money
Hey buddy. I mean this in the nicest way possible- shut up. Just shut up. Support a creator if you want, don’t if you want, but your 67 cents or whatever doesn’t make you their boss
@@FuncleChuck So the comment section is only for positive feedback? I don't consider myself anyone's boss, that said I don't think I'm alone in my thinking considering that creator donations on patreon almost halved. I expressed my thoughts in a respectful manner, not trying to be offensive, I said what I didn't like and think would help. Where is the harm in that? I even think my comment was more respectful than abandoning audience, replying to just a few of many comments that next ep will be in a week and then disappearing for a few more weeks without a word. Also I don't think there is any nice way possible of saying "shut up" to someone you don't know when there are many other ways to phrase that
