Yes, definitely want some more all-in-one blueprints... let me think... modular frame factory, maybe? After updating my pc to windows 10 im not sure if my save is still here on steam cloud, so in case of new game it would be pain to set up again
How about a set of blueprints we can use to build heavy modular frames? i.e. This is a fantastic self contained factory, but what about using the blueprint designer to build a larger scale factory that fits together that we can use to build late tier items... and each could have its own design aesthetic so that the overall "factory" follows a theme. :)
I really like your style, Total. While you have the blueprint itself behind your Patreon wall, you show everyone how to build it. So you're only gating the time-saving of having instant access to it. Classy move +1
I've been told to watch the video and mispronounce your name @TotalYclipse ;) For the record, my main gripe is the lack of snapping of blueprints Power/Belt/Pipe should snap on adjacent blueprint modules. I would much rather have an entity limit than a size limit. When I saw it my first thought was that it was perfect for someone who enjoys details and aesthetic designs i.e. you
TotalYclipse Is how I pronounce my name 😅 yep I remember the video, I think the snapping is something they're hopefully working on, but as you mentioned on the video you felt you couldn't produce x later game items within the blueprint, it made me think if it's possible to do so, and will challenge myself with it.
Gives me vibes of the city blocks philosophy for building in Factorio. Where you build large squares of the same size next to each other, tiling a large spage then you build one module in each. So one square or 'city block' is a train station, another is rails, another is input iron/output plates etc. This basically let you just look at things from an external pov, so you want to build item A and it needs B and C as input? You just look for blocks that output B and C and route them to A. This felt the same, in some way, like a black box. Where you only need to know what goes in and what comes out. Kinda similar to the black box idea in studying or programming. Great vid!
New-ish player here. I was originally having some difficulties with the idea of building vertical factories, but this is helping give me ideas for how to re-do my steel production. The goal is encased beams and motors.
The key steps to building vertical is separating your logistic lines from your production buildings on different floors. the "logistic floor" opens up space, especially if you run those logistics across the ceiling just beneath the input/outputs of the assemblers/constructors right above them. Try starting with the assemblies and mark the 'up/down' points with floor connectors for the vertical belts. Things get pretty tall when you have a 'garage' floor, a logi floor, a first-stage production floor, a second logi floor, and assemblers above that. That's usually about 10 walls of verticality. and 4x as much floorspace.
@@zourin8804 Definitely, one thing I've found that really helps is by building blueprint modules that contain space for the power cables and logistic belts. I ended being really inspired by how Kylo Builds here on UA-cam uses them.
I like this compact design, but I must admit that I agree more with Nilaus here. By the time you have access to all the individual building components, you will absolutely want an iron factory that can produce more advanced stuff as part of the factory production chain, same goes for the copper, Im thinking of reinforced iron plates in particular here. And by the time you would place one down at new remote locations, you will have access to tube cannons for easy and very fast travel between starter hub and expansion, so getting products is easy. The blueprint machine would either have to be available from the start, and even then it would be of limited use, or it would have to be a LOT bigger so making actual factories in modules would be viable. I do like compact designs though, in fact Im a real sucker for them, so I enjoyed the video a lot :)
That's the thing in Satisfactory the game has no "real" comfortable answers for this kind of problem. I don't want to build stuff like tube cannons and neither do I want to waste a huge amount of effort to produce building material in multiple locations. By the time you have access to useful tech, you often see yourself confronted with logistical problems that could have been avoided with said tech. That's also why just belting everything around is so popular, you don't need to redesign your factory.
Total, you always mention the music that "we" created. Who else is in the "we"? Also...amazing job! You always make those blueprints feel way bigger than they actually are.
I would love to see the rotor factory. I use rotors rarely enough that I just had a few machines lying around to make random items and I just changed the settings every time, then dumped the components into a nearby storage to be processed. But now that I'm scaling up beyond tier 4, I'm pretty much forced to make a dedicated factory for the things.
I mean, rotor factories arent too difficult to set up, you slap one between a screw and rod factory and just feed it the overflow. Even if you just need rods and screws for a seperate part, you're going to be building while the screws and rods are producing more than the final part will need, hook one rotor machine between them and feed it the overflow.
Everything needs to be automated eventually. It's better to start doing it asap. If you keep manually crafting things you get to a point where you've done it too much and you get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff that needs automating all at once.
I have a suggestion for improving the clarity of your build guide. It would be beneficial to include a demonstration of the process for building foundations between floors, as this step was a bit confusing for me. I followed your instructions, but unfortunately ran into issues with the blueprint designer due to hitting the height limit. As a result, I had to spend additional time troubleshooting the issue. I would appreciate it if you could consider including this information in the future, as it would greatly enhance the quality of your content and provide a better experience for your viewers.
I ended up laying foundations to see if the antenna peaked trough, if so i layed a 1 meter wall before putting the foundation. This ended up working perfectly. Just make sure the antenna and the foundations pretty much touch eachother
I had this problem too. I completed the first two floors only to realize the third floor was going to be too high for the blueprint designer. I had to delete and then lower the second floor to make it come out right. I had to freeze the video several times to see how far apart the floors had to be.
I love this build - with the exception of the amount of (more than zero) obvious and "impossible" clipping. I don't mind clipping that doesn't visually break reality, but some of these are beyond the pale for me.
This is so clean, i want to try and figure out something just as compact and modular that uses alternate recipes like Iron Wire and Cast Screws to just screw off copper entirely. Makes it way easier to find a spot to place this down.
Realistically, this is a lot like the 5x5 challenges that were going on a few years ago The challenge was to make a complete factory in as small a space as possible, now it has a copy and paste feature, lol
It was a little difficult for me to follow at times, but I hashed through it and got the blueprint built. Then had to go through and change a lot of the lifts bc they were going the wrong way. Thanks for the build. It was fun for a beginner like me!
pretty cheeky how you didn't mention the stack order of small walls vs normal walls... so when I followed your steps and wondered why my stairs didn't line up the same i had to pay extra close attention to what i was seeing. too bad i noticed after nearly completing BP lol. all in all tho very cool I learned a lot.
By the time you have the blueprint builder, it's fairly likely that you have the cast screws and iron wire. You could probably do something similar and a little easier but utilizing 120 iron ore/min.
I do love the idea of building individual factories for each item and then spamming those out. It seems like it would be way easier if you find you need more screws, just hook up your screw factory that makes one belts worth of screws
Huh, what's happening at 07:53 ? You place HALF of the lift first and then "grab" and extend it from below? How's that possible/done? Am I missing something?
There is a newer component to this step that TotalXclipse did not explain. There is a part in the awesome shop that lets you do this. It is called Conveyor Lift Floor Hole. You can place those on foundations without attaching a conveyor lift or belt to them. In fact, belts cannot attach to them. As far as mechanics go, they act almost exactly like a Conveyor Pole except the are for lifts and not belts.
I’ve started to get the Satisfactory itch again, but I’m also hesitant to do anything drastic before update 8. Designing some pocket factories might just be the perfect compromise!
Total is becoming the tiny houses developer of the factory world. He's gonna figure out a way to be able to have a whole from beginning to end battery factory in a 2x2x2 building before we know it. How? I have no clue but leave it to Total to figure it out lol.
The blueprint system would be awesome at Tier 2 though. They could make it incremental, for example, you're only allowed to build a certain part on blueprint on lower tiers, or making this blueprint editor half the size, it would help a lot. That's what I love in Factorio and Dyson Sphere, its quite fast if not immediatelly that you have Blueprints in these games, factorio takes way too long at the start, and to me, a person who needs to work, not spending my work time doing hours of factories just to feel like I didn't advance much even with 60 hours on a save. Coffee Stain should make another game mode to make things faster, allowing blueprintw and a Hover Pack that uses fuel like crazy and still only works near machines or power-poles for early tiers, a hover that can't be THAT high up either. But eh, I have the feeling that if they make the game faster at the beggining they feat people would not want to play the game anymore. At least me and my friends don't want to play the game anymore right now. xD
They honestly place in blueprints at a nice pacing tbh. You can do pretty much everything untill then on a relatively flat plane and you probably wont even really visit other biomes, even with friends, unless you try to rush new products instead of preparing for a longer run. Making sure infrastructure is properly installed is more important than getting new resources or quick factories. Once you start needing quick factories, you would probably have a decent infrastructure to handle all those quick factories. Blueprints are there to speed up things you've already done, not things you still have to do. Also, if you want a slightly bigger challenge to do with friends because the base game is too slow. Give people a certain biome to control, or a certain resource is their monopoly. This gives reason to build factories very differently. Having to barter for the resources with your own monopoly, or having to barter for resources because its a LOT more common in their biome, or not allowing anyone to pass through their biome without payment.
I always cycle through urging to play satisfactory again after some time and then get slapped in the face on how tedious the game is for somebody not that invested in planning everything out perfectly. And holy hell yes the blueprinting is annoying because you have to redo everything you want to blueprint instead of simply copying what you already built. It's such a backwards design choice imo. And the explanation the game would be too easy is just ridiculous. By the time you unlock some QoL features you had to come up with so much stuff not using it, it's often easier to keep the "mess" you created than to redo everything.
Wich wall are you using to avoid cliping of the top part of the conatructors, i had to put 4meywr walls and then one 1 metervwall the the foundation of 1 m, but cant get tje catwalks with stair to properly fit. By the way love your videos this os helping mw to clean my spaguetti mess. Thos is my first blueprint just unlocked it.
I have watched the part where you are placing the elevators from the second floor to the first floor. Each time I watch you place the first one where the cable would be coming out of the constructor and I see the arrows going in both directions, but when you place it I see the arrows change to going in the same direction. I went back and watched the "I wish I new these things before starting a new save" video where you talk about setting up the elevators to go in the correct direction, but still cannot seem to place them correctly. Any suggestions?
First, thanks for sharing, but man, sorry but this was the hardest satisfactory video to follow. I felt every 5 seconds we 10 steps forward and there were 3 hidden steps in between to figure out ourselves 😅 but hey, the challenge was great!
Love this design but when I tried to duplicate it I had some issues with the spacing completely lining up correctly. One issue I had was all the smelters decided to raise themselves off the floor about 1 foot so then the splitters/mergers wouldn't line up when placed very closely. Not sure what's up with that.
I think it's because the way they do collision on the tops of things has changed since this video was made. I was having this issue and also having issues with my smelters colliding with my constructors, below. I solved the issue by simply building another 1m layer of foundation on top of that floor, clearing the previous foundation and building on top of that instead.
makes me wish the blueprint making was done in the main menu instead of the open world. So your blueprints are shared along all saves and can use them at the start.
when i finally got the blueprint designer unlocked i think 90% of my blueprints were full factories with stairs. my locations began to look like down town manhattan since I started stacking them. only with S 1.0 did I start copying some of the layouts that were just machines and building the building myself
can someone tell me what the box is under plz i cant seem to find that the one with the post and walls and plus signs on the floor before he puts the foundations on
I cant get the smelters to work that are snapped into the splitters on the top floor. I made sure there was a conveyer connecting the two but I can't rearrange the top to get it to work proper. I don't know if its cause an update or something but everything else works fine. Please help
refineries and coal power plants are going to be where blueprint only builds break down, you still have to connect fluids, you can only have 3 refineries in a single blueprint, because of how much plastic and rubber you need for late game, you're still doing the same level of work as the average playthrough if not a little more
That is something I would like to know as well. I am unable to visualize anything; so, I typically have to build as I go and then tear down and refactor over and over again.
The plan on the main was to build a compact factory that produces all the required resources in a single blueprint that's efficient. The clean / decoration came second, with the intention of being able to walk around it if necessary :)
I like the Blue-print designer... I started making quarters of a Factor - Than modular ends, mid-sections. So multiples of 4 - so it is pretty much infinitely scalable.
Major BP note, as of 0.8 experimental build the blueprints 0.7 update do not migrate to 0.8 of the game as of yet. none of mine saved over so you might have to re make them for 0.8 build in mind.
So what's the total resources needed to have in-hand to be able to plop this down? I'm somewhat concerned that some blueprints could require more items than can be carried!
I just want to ask one thing. It's positioned as starter factory but.. You have to use those walls with holes, catwalks and half-foundations. They're all bought in awesome shop and how will you get to it without any factory?
It's not positioned as a starter factory as I explain. but for a starter / basic resources. But you are right a lot of stuff is bought with the awesome shop, but you can get enough points from exploration to unlock all of these in one go. For example killing creatures at turning them into DNA or collecting parts and sinking them from the crash sites.
Welp after seeing this, i really shocked because how you using the smaller area to build neat and not become messy in long run, because everything is matched with the input and output rate of the machine it self, seems i will be back playing the game in few weeks or until update 8 is coming lol, since the game requires me to pay attention in number aspects xD
I just Started the game (60h) and I love the Blueprint Designer But to be honest if you start a new game Do you Rush through the first Phases? Building multi Level Designs without flying (jetpack over hovercraft) is really pain. And for all the Building obtions etc. You need to schredder the hell out of it XD To get enough coupons. Or will you have every Thing in a New game + style?
I can see a 5x5 blueprint but not sure a 10x10 blueprint would fit into the game. They wanted to keep it small to make it a puzzle system, so you can't just build a single blueprint that produces everything.
Do you want to see more all in one blueprint factories? And if so, what?
A mini steel rig would be nice as an early game solution just to have enough for tier 3 belts
Yes, definitely want some more all-in-one blueprints... let me think... modular frame factory, maybe? After updating my pc to windows 10 im not sure if my save is still here on steam cloud, so in case of new game it would be pain to set up again
A Turtle Factory
Definitely steel. Also maybe a small scale battery production to gets a drone moving.

I cant get the smelters to work that are snapped into the splitters on the top floor. I made sure there was a conveyer connecting the two but I can't rearrange the top to get it to work proper. I don't know if its cause an update or something but everything else works fine. Please help
yapping stops and building starts in 4:14
How are you able to fly above to lay out your structures. I’m stuck on ground and it’s very hard to line up stuff . Regards
For this tutorial I use the fly command either with the mod Pak utility or the advanced game modes
I was just thinking of doing this. Is there a blueprint i can download somewhere?
refineries and coal power plants are going to be where blueprint only builds break down, you still have to connect fluids, you can only have 3 refineries in a single blueprint, because of how much plastic and rubber you need for late game, you're still doing the same level of work as the average playthrough if not a little more

This game needs elevators!
Linear motion mod has really good elevators
The air tubes make great elevators. Very fast
That would be so sweet
It's got a space one *shrug*
ill keep my elaborate chain of jump pads tyvm
How do you make the elevator go from bottom to top like that at 11:06
Wait nevermind figured it out
What part are you using for that big frame around the building at 4:02
thats part of the blueprint designer itself, it sets your boundaries :)
Amazing video, i love it!
Is it possible to create this in normal mode? Or you away goes to god mode to create the blueprints?
What is your planning process for something like this (a nice looking, compact, and efficient factory)
That is something I would like to know as well. I am unable to visualize anything; so, I typically have to build as I go and then tear down and refactor over and over again.
The plan on the main was to build a compact factory that produces all the required resources in a single blueprint that's efficient.
The clean / decoration came second, with the intention of being able to walk around it if necessary :)
This was the 2nd rendition of this build, as the initial one worked but was very busy. So refactoring had to be done
I like the Blue-print designer... I started making quarters of a Factor - Than modular ends, mid-sections. So multiples of 4 - so it is pretty much infinitely scalable.
where do i download the blueprint? cant find it on patreon
Have they talked about being able to download diffrent blueprints from the workshop?
Imagining a world full of 4x4x4 cubes all around... 😅
I hate how much clipping happens inside. But smart idea !
One problem. I only have pure nodes around me 😅 never thought I would have that problem before.
Major BP note, as of 0.8 experimental build the blueprints 0.7 update do not migrate to 0.8 of the game as of yet. none of mine saved over so you might have to re make them for 0.8 build in mind.
How do you place floors freely on walls? I can only place them on the top or bottom of the walls
So what's the total resources needed to have in-hand to be able to plop this down? I'm somewhat concerned that some blueprints could require more items than can be carried!
Can you use fly mode for building on a Dedicated server? I edited the save file to turn fly mod eon but it doesnt seem to work.
I love micro factories that are specific
Looks awesome 👌
@TotalXclipse did you use the purple and white in honor of Nilaus? If not, it was an accidental surprise :) Well done!
Certainly wasn't planned but now I come to think of it, it absolutely was an accidental surprise :)
Thats neat thank you.
I just want to ask one thing. It's positioned as starter factory but.. You have to use those walls with holes, catwalks and half-foundations. They're all bought in awesome shop and how will you get to it without any factory?
It's not positioned as a starter factory as I explain. but for a starter / basic resources. But you are right a lot of stuff is bought with the awesome shop, but you can get enough points from exploration to unlock all of these in one go. For example killing creatures at turning them into DNA or collecting parts and sinking them from the crash sites.
I would like to blueprint a town with several different buildings🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖
fantastic!
2:59 You mentioned another basic starter blueprint but couldn't be bothered to give a link to it.
do you have a blueprint for the 3 copper - copper wire, copper
Welp after seeing this, i really shocked because how you using the smaller area to build neat and not become messy in long run, because everything is matched with the input and output rate of the machine it self,
seems i will be back playing the game in few weeks or until update 8 is coming lol, since the game requires me to pay attention in number aspects xD
how do you manage to not clip through walls /floor?
IMO , the greatest difficult in the begining is energy
blueprints should be tier 1
I just Started the game (60h) and I love the Blueprint Designer
But to be honest if you start a new game
Do you Rush through the first Phases?
Building multi Level Designs without flying (jetpack over hovercraft) is really pain. And for all the Building obtions etc. You need to schredder the hell out of it XD To get enough coupons. Or will you have every Thing in a New game + style?
Personally I think the blueprint is the perfect size. It'd be OP if it were much bigger.
when do you get conveyor walls I only have the basic ones?
You can buy them in the awesome shop with coupons 🙂
4-by-cube 💪
honestly, there should be a mk2 blueprint designer somewhere around late phase 2 that is at least 5x5 if not 6x6
very cool man good work!
how do you get windows and convayor walls
It bothers me unreasonably that you edit the clock percent instead of just editing the output at 5:17 , otherwise loved the video!
I like to take 5 stacks of each material I need for building just to be safe😊
Is there a way to double this easily? I built near Pure spots
Place two down?
Following this guide I was unsure how many Shennanigans I will be producing?
More than enough, I assure you 😄
@@TotalXclipse how did you get in to my server to know that!!!?
insted of scanning platform, we should be able to scanning our buildings
@CoffeeStainStudios PLEASE we need vertical conveyor splitters/mergers !! We lose so much space :(
5:07 I wonder if he did not know, you could just enter 10 there
where can i download the blueprint?
Oh my god, of course consider smaller intake :/
Me sweating and trying to make something with 240 intake :)
This Doesnt work for me the splitter for the screws, the lift goes outside the blueprint and wont let me place it
Te Designer will come at tier 4 right ;)
I would bet $100 there will be 10x10x10 and even larger that can be unlocked when the final game comes out
I can see a 5x5 blueprint but not sure a 10x10 blueprint would fit into the game. They wanted to keep it small to make it a puzzle system, so you can't just build a single blueprint that produces everything.
i love it
