  How are loopback belts possible? If I throw in 300 units/min, but only process 250units/min, shouldn't my system be backing up 50units/min?

  my favorite playstyle is a hybrid between mega/modular. I like building 4-ish different "mega" factories, one for each biome (e.g. for each starting location) and connecting them with a train network. For example i'll have a fuel powerplant/production/storage "mega" base in one biome but then iron/steel/copper/caterium/etc in another and usually the desert is reserved for the "main" base where i setup my hub. The desert factory may not be the biggest one, but thats usually where i setup the hub and space elevator, where my doggos live and where my mall/storage is. This is very nice because theres always trains driving around, making it feel busy. The factory is also split up based on material so if, for example, there is a power problem, well... go to the power factory and the problem usually is there and easy to spot since there are no other materials mixed in, but its also in one place so i dont have to go looking around which modular factory/powerplant is causing problems. Usually it looks like this: Grass fields: Basic material factory (e.g. ingots, (heavy) modular frames, computers, circuits, etc) Dune desert: Main base (e.g. mall/storage room, doggo enclosure, pioneer home + hub, passenger stations, gas mask filter prod., bio mass/fuel prod., etc) Blue crater: petrochemical (plastics, rubber, (small) backup powerplant for coldstarts + storage, liquid biofuel, etc) Rocky desert: Monolithic powerplant (fuel production, power generation, waste disposal, switchboard, power+fuel storage, etc) Sometimes there are remains of the "starter base" like an extra coal powerplant in in the western dune forest, but i usually leave that there since with this hybrid approach i have enough space in other biomes (also my last coal powerplant was a 10GW one so i didnt wanna destroy it as it was designed for reliability and to this day still runs a big chunk of my essential factory buildings as its on a separate power circuit) This hybrid approach brings a lot of logistical challenges and thats what i like. I think i'm not the only one doing this, but i havent really seen anyone else do it (i dont watch a lot of satisfactory content either tho so...)

  my personal preferecne is modular factories. I know everyone thinks megafactories look way crazier, but to me its just too easy to get all your stuff in one place then do it from there. I like good looking, well connected, expandable modular factories that aren't too far off the ground.

  a game like this HAS to have a community and style like satisfactory does. I think coffee stain is the perfect studio to be developing this game. Everything from how they manage the community to how they, not only look at community feedback, but how we can actually see progress towards them implementing requests and fixing issues to the goofy/funny animations in the game. Coffee stain has been transparent in what they'll add and what they wont, all while still keeping new features a surprise. The best 2 examples that i can think of to illustrate this: - LetsGameItOut made an abomination of a save file which ruined performance and coffee stain contacted him to ask if they could have his save for testing and improving. - Andrew...? (srry for got his name) makes INSANELY big and awesome factories in game that push the limits of the game, multiple times they've referred to his saves and builds as a benchmark and an example of what this game should be capable of. This type of community/dev integration is what we need for this type of game. Everyone at coffee stain seems to know the community and its inside jokes (e.g. how snutt killed a lizard doggo, heck even the name "lizard doggo" itself is a prime example). All this to say that this game feels different, not like any cashgrab or some game idea ordered by higherups. This game feels like something everyone working on, actually believes in (and plays themselves). I hope they have a good 1.0 and future releases.

  For the overflow, if you don't need the additional overflow, could you just sink it? Like, if you had 120 output, but only needed 115, instead of looping back the extra 5, it'd just get sunk.

  Definitely could do that! Nothing wrong either leaving extra in the system to smooth out any irregularities but if the belts being backed up would cause an issue, you should definitely sink the extra.

  If you can wait to start your production, you can create a manifold, connect all your machines to 1 unpowered line, then when it backs up, power them all. This way you aren't pulling from the resources required to back up the belts, and the machines won't be able to store material indefinitely

  The way I play is kind of interesting because I usually have about 3 or 4 mega factories that are a little bit apart. One is for basic production so everything before you unlock steel. One is for steel production stuff. The other two are for everything else Then I use trains, tractors, and drones to transport everything to a main storage area.

  What I want are direct hookups to more things like splitters/mergers/storage to machines in the same way that elevator belts do. Yes I get that splitters and mergers are technically infinite speed and people could just chain link them that way but it is quite simple to just add tiered versions as well.

  3:50 No. You do not, under any circumstance, even when nuclear waste is involved, NEED your input belts to be balanced. Even with nuclear waste, a manifold will eventually fill out and, provided you have enough production downstream, all the waste WILL get handled properly. At worst, your nuclear waste processing area will always be filled (but not clogged) with waste, making it more dangerous to be around. However it's always going to be a significant hazard so that's really not much of an argument. Honestly, there is no good reason to use a fully load balanced factory, ever. Yes, it will start up faster, however that comes at the cost of taking much longer to build which will usually make the total time (from concept until max throughput) longer. Couple that with the increased resource cost, increased space cost, and generally looking like total crap, I simply cannot recommend that style of play to anyone (without mods). It can be helpful when dealing with more resources than a single belt can handle to balance the load before routing it to separate (manifold-based) factories, but that's not really what this video is covering anyway.

• 
  @SatisfactoryNews14 күн бұрын

  Well, I suppose this is the kind of pedantic comment I deserve for throwing out a random line like that.. You're right, nuclear waste does not require a load balancer. The sentence was supposed to be a catch-all for letting viewers know that sometimes belts must be balanced in order to prevent them from backing up, and that can be especially important with waste - not for the danger of waste building up, but to make sure that your nuclear reactors don't get backed up with waste and stop working. I know this is not at all what I said, but the belt balancer on-screen during that sentence is actually the ONLY balancer in my world, which splits out nuclear fuel rods evenly. I had it set up to make exactly as many fuel rods as my nuclear plants needed, and I had it on a manifold system. Needless to say, the last couple reactors never had enough fuel rods but the first reactor had plently. In this case, I had 5 reactors, for whatever reason, so I needed to create a 1-to-5 balancer. Otherwise my power would have gone down. But yes, I hope the message of the video was that load balancers are niche and manifolds will suffice in 99.99% of cases.

  @thatexoguy672115 күн бұрын

  Is there a name for when you do a manifold, but you calculate the input and output? For example if you use an MK1 miner that produces 60 iron ore, you connect it to two smelters that both consume 30 ore per minute via a manifold. Adding more smelters at the end of the manifold makes no sense unless you either overclock or upgrade the miner, and this set-up to me feels like a middle ground between manifolds and load balancing.

• 
  @SatisfactoryNews15 күн бұрын

  I think most of the time, a manifold is calculated. Most of the math in this game works out nicely, so usually you use exact math to make your factories efficient. But the situation you describe is why the flexibility of manifolds is a big strength. If you have an iron setup with a Mk2 miner, you can build X number of smelters. But when you later unlock the Mk3 miner and want to upgrade it, you can easily add more smelters to the manifold to make use of the additional ore being mined. I think really a manifold that's totally random and lacking calculations would need it's own name, because that is definitely less common.

  My D&D Brain imagined balancing as if you're trying to roll a five-sided dice, but you only have a D6. you just roll your D6, and if the result is a 6, you reroll. That will always result in an even spread of 1 through 5.

  @ChizuruMinamoto17 күн бұрын

  My main issue with Satisfactory is that, I do the centralised factory with smaller factory outposts around... But the trains are unlocked so late that it bothers me to have to then build that infrastructure when I didn't plan ahead for it. It makes just making huge belts taking stuff in and out much faster because the cars are honestly slow, and if there is ANY inbalance in your system if you used your car to transport items both ways, you'll end up clogging one of the side with garbage, requiring a manual fix. After that happened one too many times, I just stopped using cars outright and just made huge belts which went faster than the cars anyway.

  @TC-cq7oc20 күн бұрын

  I have a few tips for modular factories (as a modular factory enthusiast): 0. Get very comfortable with rails. Always lay two rails so that you can have trains moving opposite directions. Also, have mental templates (unfortunately, blueprints are too small) for junctions and stations with multiple platforms. Each outpost is probably going to have at least 6 separate train platforms, for all of the different trains which visit it. 1. Build your rails high in the air, so you don't have to deal with terrain. 2. Use trains like private limos, not public transit. Each player on the server should have a private train, which they can hop into and set to autopilot to wherever they want to go. There should be at least one dedicated platform at each facility for player access trains. The cargo wagons on these private trains can be used as an extended inventory of sorts. Don't rely on riding the cargo trains around. 3. Trains can be extended in any direction. If you've finished making something and aren't sure where it's going yet, send it to a train and send it somewhere later. If you need a resource and haven't set up production for it yet, build a platform that takes it in, and fill it later.

  This video is misleading as no one with a shred of sanity every does one or the other. Especially considering since the maps are designer, you'll often find materials needed together for some advance items pretty close together. I would never make steel in a mega base, considering their are nodes close together that can fuel steel production elsewhere, and this would prevent over drawing the busses. At the same time though, trying to ship iron plates to multiple locations will cause traffic issues as your transportation network would bog down. So the real answer, neither/both. Use both as needed to mitigate the negatives of both.

• 
  @Stukov96121 күн бұрын

  Note that the loopback method can cause issues if you're not careful of belt speed. For example, you want to feed 5 machines 12 things/min, for a total of 60. 60 in gets split into 6, 10 goes into each machine, and the 6th line loops back to eventually send the remaining 2 into each machine. But, and here is where things can go wrong for you, now you have 60+10 on the belt between the merger and the first splitter. If you did the whole system with Mk1 belts, because your total input was only 60, right, now you've got a bottleneck that's going to clog up, and the machines are only going to get 10 each.

  The only tip i can think of off the top of my hat is to not transport raw materials if it can be avoided. Usually, the number of items gets lower as you progress up the tech tree, so i tend to at least build smelters near iron or copper nodes and only transport ingots over longer belts. Fewer belts needed = less work that way.
