How many ports are you using per item, to unload items from the elevator?
Would be good if some kind of time scale was mentioned as in how long it took to make this and how many hours it took to get here. Just a thought but a great vid none the less
I love watching how you put everything together! Do you think you could do a build like this for a more beginner to the game with the lower tier stuff? I'm going to try and use what you showed here and make my own, but I'm curious how you would approach it (I don't have access to the blast stuff yet).
You don't really need the blast stuff! All you need is a LOT of belts, plenty of floors, and you can get going!
@TheDutchActuary I actually just realized you put out a beginner video for the first few levels, your videos are always so informative and helpful! Love this bus and mall idea though, looks amazing
Is there any reason that you don't do the main lines directly on top instead of as stairs ? Cheers for the video , very informative, and no mucking around
Easier to navigate, but most importantly it makes both the bus but *especially* the lifts look a LOT cleaner.
Oy vey, shades of a glass-faced arcology in that bus. Yes, I know it’s open instead of sheathed in glass. Still! A nice machine-filled valley between the two of them.
i did it! beat the game and 100%'ed it! i like the game but without your guidance this wouldn't have been possible so thank you very much for your masterclass playlist. great guides and easy to follow.
Mission accomplished! Thank you for letting me know!
Look forward to seeing you do all of the products on a bus.. I want to love this gane but sons of the ingredients are just obtuse and have many parts and now the mono rails are pointless.. the ingredients need alot of work I think
You definitenly don't want ALL of the products on the bus (or well, unless you don't mind the massive effort that would be lol). This is about as far as I'd take it, aside from a few more late-game additions.
Hey TDA I love the series and I really enjoy to learn the mathematics behind the game. In the beginning I didnt scale big enough and especially in late game I had trouble with keeping up the production. your videos were eye opening for me. Short question, at 15:00 how do you make the belts go sideways? Is it a mod?
I'm not using any mods (aside from one that keeps the lights on 24/7 so you can actually see what i'm doing). I checked the timestamp but i'm not 100% sure what you mean. Are you referring to the diagonal belts? If so, you can switch between belt settings by pressing ' R ' I believe is the default. This will allow you to place belts in any angle.
It's beautiful!!
Cool!
Wow, I googled phase 4 and got here, I'm going to have to back up a few videos to see how you do it! 🧠🧠🧠
"When I played for the first time, on version 0.3, I used a bus like that, with floors and a staircase. Now, with vertical belts, I prefer to use a staircase. After that, I realized that I could stack belts on top of each other, so I added six levels and, 3 blocks behind, I added another six. I did this in Victor. Now, I'm going to try to separate things, using each level of the elevator for different purposes, like connecting foundries to smelters, and so on.
Nice one! I also considered going for the 'blocky' bus with some space between levels, but found this more aesthetically pleasing. That said, your version is a bit more space efficient and easier to use in areas that aren't quite as tall! Options, options, options :)
Don't forget to like the video to help me out! Subscribing is useful if you want to see more as well! NOTE on this Episode: This took me about 5 times longer than I expected, but the result was very... satisfactory ;)
One thing I disagree with right at the start is it's taking you a long time to build some buildings because you built them in replicator directly from raw. If you set up stockpiling on a copper and iron furnace. Is there a particular reason you don't depot those early common resources? Any thing you can prebuild dramatically reduces the time it takes to make structures.
I'm mostly grabbing resources that I need for those buildings straight from the furnaces
Hate to ask, but i couldn't find it in the lvl 10 buildings, and i need an excavator bit mkVI or 6
That one is in the floors where you need to pump away the sand, in a building you can't access at first. I believe it's the science level. The sand will take a LOT of diesel to get gone... ;)
Thx
Old skool
thank you
There’s an iron node nearby. Make compacted coal ingots and train them somewhere useful.
Looks like the game has changed quite a bit and seems like early mid-game seems a lot more accessible. Worth getting back into.
The game is super accessible now (maybe a bit too easy honestly, but after Satisfactory I don't mind a game that doesn't take 50-100+ hours to complete :P)
The game is super boring.
How many hours of content is there?
Depends a bit on how you play it. If you just rush to the end, maybe 20 hours. If you try and make pretty builds or a machine that builds the randomized builds automatically? Easily 2-3 times that.
I quite like this game and am glad you are covering it. I enjoyed it briefly in 0.2 but had the patience to decide to wait for 1.0. Eagerly watching and liking all videos
Really looking for the thresher Mk2 location any help be appreciated
If you check the tech-tree, it will tell you the location for undiscovered tech. I believe this particular one is either in the research base or in the freight base.
Great !
how are you conjoining the conveyor belts without the splitter?
Just attach them! Splitters are only needed to, well, split. Joining the belts back up doesn't need anything in particular.
Good video and info! Another good one would be how to deal with chunks / slabs after :)
Yup, that's the next one! (along with a LOT of other stuff)
You have no idea how much this video helped me! I was making this game so much harder than it needed to be. THANK YOU! SUBBED!!!
Always nice to wake up to a new vid of yours to watch at breakfast time. /thumbsup
How can I get larger ships in DW2? I can get frigates.. but I don't see ANY research that says it allows for larger ships.
Maybe I’ll check this out once my Satisfactory fix is fulfilled. Ratios scare the crap out of me though. Me no good at math.
When in doubt - build more! :D
love the video! butbut i cant see the overview of the build if u can possibly repost that plz :)
Strange, it seems some of the links broke. Does this work? www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=JbG9s3l0cgHyJcKEizVI
This one episode will easily hold me for a weekend of gaming... Well done!
How ironic... just today i finished my Poweplant using 4800 Fuel on 240 Generators and now i see this. There goes another 30 hours i guess xD
Don't forget to like the video to help me out! Subscribing is useful if you want to see more. NOTE on this Episode: Although you can definitely complete the entire game with only minimal blast drill use, these things are AWESOME. Let's go totally crazy in the next episode abusing these shall we? :)
Your builds are awesome. Tnx. I just started playing this game and I love it, surprised that I like a factory game.
This is a pretty forgiving factory game, and the story helps break up the build-build-build that some other factory games have. I'm not surpised you like it, it's pretty good!!
Hey TDA, good video. I'm playing along, sorta. I'm in the midgame but my factory design is really different to yours (spread out across multiple levels, and using the elevator as my main bus). But the game is unfolding at the same pace so that's more preference than substance IMO. Speaking of substance though, I just unlocked a tech at XRay tier 2 that's rocking my world -- "powdered ores." Sounds weird but the bottom line is that, for an extra threshing step, you get a huge increase in ingots from the same ore. Without threshing it's 4 ore per ingot. With threshing is 1 ore per ingot, provided you use T2 or T2 smelters (T1 smelter uses 2 per). Very noticeable increase in throughput in basically the same build footprint (because no more fuel belts).
Yuuuuuup! That one quadruples your ore output!
Great vid! Tnx 🙏🏼
Please tell us how to use the Hover Pack. Upgrading it doesn't do anything at all.
Did you craft it? It's easy to miss, but it is an equipment that you need to craft and carry around in your inventory. Once you do, levitate you will!
@@TheDutchActuary I can levitate , yes, but what upgrade does ? Jump? what?
@@dezmond8416 It'll allow you to fly higher ;)
Try holding whatever your jump button is the longer u hold the higher u get
@@chrisis72 Are you sure? Seems it doesn't work that way
I found it extremely convenient to replace the Q key with the right mouse button. If something goes wrong, or to copy a building - just right-click !!
eeeh, so eeehm, eeehm so
YOU are awesome
13:00 You can limit output container slots. For example you can set only 2 slots.
Yup! That's one way to avoid overproducing. Still an awful lot of spaghetti though
You can actually build miners on top of miners it’s how I set mine up I just build a 1X1 block to get inserter placed for second level and can be built on top of bottom level inserter.
That works! But it'll make upgrading to Mk2 Miner a bit annoying (if that's what you want to do ofc, as they are fully optional)
@ I prefer mk 1 for top level if I do multiple levels and mk2 for bottom helps with the energy as have not yet unlocked mk2 generators yet
Also currently generating 72k power lol
Spaghetti belts everywhere doing my head in. Wish they just added a filter splitter. BTW you dont need to build a platform elevator to get out of holes you can just hit the respawn button its quicker lol.
Hehehe yea I suppose that works too! :)
Don't forget to like the video to help me out! Subscribing is useful if you want to see more. NOTE on this Episode: When I say conveyor, you say belt! CONVEYOR!
What would be a good way to signal a single merging lane where a train goes one way and the other goes another? Everytime I try to use blocks the trains stop even though no trains are inside the block
You mean a Y intersetion where the split tracks have trains going in opposite directions? A simple solution would be to have block signals after the split on each side, and a block signal after the destination of the combined track. This effectively breaks the track down in 3 segments, and the shared segment is only ever allowed to have a single train in it. (if that segment is very long, trains could end up waiting for quite a long time - so I would suggest building a secondary track in that case. If it is a short stretch, that won't matter as much)
Hey TDA, thank you for these videos. There's no way I would have got anywhere near endgame on my own. I found your videos when I got stuck trying to design and build an Aluminium factory, and from that point on I followed your builds pretty closely and 100%ed the game. I even just found the golden factory cart by accident! No achievement for that though :D Stay awesome!
You hope to catch me in the next one? Mate, I'm not opening the game without you on my second screen!! This game is so much more easier and fun with the explanations and the optimal layouts. Thank YOU.
Much appreciated!
Was this supposed to be for early game players? I don't have access to any of this stuff.
Coal power is unlocked in Tier 3 - It's the first type of power you unlock after the biofuel, and the first type you can 100% automate.
