This is a later game coal plant, I've unlocked lots of stuff to play with but a coal power plant, is a coal power plant, no matter how you wrap it! Don't feel bad about your build I'm sure it looks great and does the exact same job!
@@TotalXclipse im on my first vanilla playthrough of satisfactory right now, and what i have quickly learned is to not compare my builds to the ones you see on youtube and reddit, because the one you make on a first or second playthrough will not look all that pretty, and thats okay, as a person plays through the game they will start to decorate and make their builds better, and you can always go back and re-do it :)
@@aceprograms3 Facts! I have 700 hours and its still quite the task to make something look AND function well. Eventually it will though, just enjoy the process :)
@@aceprograms3 when i get to the 2nd playthrough, then I will start making fancy builds. But for now, its all about learning what to do and how to play.
im so happy that im kinda obsessed with making big Power Plants before making any big production things. I made a Coal Power Plan Producing 8.5k MW and now moving on to Fuel Generators where i calculated a total amount of 75k MW in my new Power Plant but only 60% is build so still a lot of things to do. putting a lot of hours into stuff like this but after finished i dont need to worry for power for a loong time :)
I made a coal plant today, then UA-cam recommends this video to me and suddenly I want to just complete tear down my coal plant and redo it from scratch 😅
Amazing builds you have made TX, looks very clean and neat. I cannot wait for 1.0 to release and go at it all again. You keep me hyped for hypefactory :)
Oh man, you're so good at architecture! I'm actually working on a massive turbofuel power plant at the crater lakes right now. It's producing 5000 TF / min with the help of HOR, Turbo blend fuel, and diluted fuel alternate recipes. And my approach was way simpler and cruder, because I asked myself one question, what if we just built all of it on a *massive slab*
Funny - I actually ran a train through that tunnel you found a build or two back. Totally forgot about it. For the glass part where the pipes come out, something I was thinking about: why not use an angled glass roof piece?
One thing I can't wrap my head around is why use manifold instead of balancing. Except for the obvious increase in space needed. I'm in the middle of making my 2nd 120 coal/min (8 coal gens) because I'm starting to run tight on power.
I think the question is why not use manifolds? If a powerplant is running 100% of the time it shouldn't matter what technique you use, both will run as efficiently as the other as the only downside to a manifold system is the warming up cycle and now with priority power switches we shouldnt need to worry about power blackouts ever really
Awesome content! Really have been enjoying these videos. How are you powering 48 coal generators with 5 water extractors? Wouldn't you need 8 extractors for that? Sorry if I overlooked something just wanted to make sure I'm following how this works haha. Keep up the vids!
Have you happen to have done a tutorial for how to do the sign between the sloped walls. I can get the signs on the wall, and I can get the sloped walls using the barrier trick, but they always want to go in the same place. I can't figure out how to get the signs between the walls.
1:40 "in update 8 they are going to renovate this area" *me currently almost finished a mega factory there while this plays in the background* "ah sh*t"
I can't wait to get my 24,000 mw coal plant going. Though my world is trying to implode on itself atm. I also want to get my 140k mw turbo fuel power plant and 250k mw nuclear plants up also.
I sure wish I was creative enough to make things look pretty. I would love to show someone the monstrosity I've built in my world over the past year. And I'm slow at building and do mostly everything by memory alone with all the math involved.
@@keeb5168 Oh, I just need it to keep my base running while turning on the 140k mw turbo fuel power plant. All power sharded, every single power generator will be 250% to help keep my world from imploding in on itself
Imagine a playthrough saying "let's just set this unoptimal and unclean bcz we'll fix it later". It will let viewers unsatisfied until the endgame, and if viewers are fine with such an unoptimized look to the endgame they won't be amazed by the optimization and clean-up.
I'm a new player in this game and power is an issue right now. Just built my first 2 fuel generators and they are running, powering the refineries that are making their fuel. Haven't unlocked trains yet but keep running into issues with the factory producing heavy modular frames. I should mention I'm in the grasslands area and boy is my zone messy at the moment. Running a long range belt from 2 quartz miners and an entire power site where I'm running 4 mk 2 oil pumps, 4 (normal) mk 2 coal miners into 4 fully overclocked coal generators and 4 water extractors. That was a fun thing to build, especially the large obelisk that's bringing the pipes vertically up to the pathway high above it and back to my base. I'm currently running 18 coal generators, all in separate locations with about 3 groups with a max of 4. I built the 2 fuel generators to power a new factory that is gonna be the largest one yet with multiple manufacturers to build the more resource intensive items. I just need to build a central collection point so I can access them all instead of running around trying to find stuff. Next project i guess. A lot of work but I'm having a lot of fun with the game. Thank you for the videos, giving me lots of ideas and inspiration of things to try out and tinker with.
well you can build like 300 coal generators before you even bother about fuel :D but yes people always ignore power and build factories that makes stuff and then they get the dreaded "no power" sound ;-)
@@LiLBitsDK Yeah, fuses keep tripping at the one plant and i cant figure out why. Ive added additional generators for the load, ive added pumps to the water pipes to keep the flow up, coal is fine because its coming from a pure node. but the load was previously fine with 2 fully overclocked coal generators. Ive discovered water is an issue and have overclocked the extractors as well and so far its holding. but idk, hopefully that worked to stabilize it.
@@Basspounder5 too many coal generators on a mk.1 pipe? too many generators for the belt speed? not enough lift/flow on the water? 120 coal = 8 gens = 3 waterpumps but you need TWO pipes if you only have mk1 (connected to both ends of the line of the gens and the pumps to deliver the 360m3 needed...
@@LiLBitsDK 3 pumps, 3 gens, 1 pipe. I upgraded to mk 2 pipes and that made it worse so I switched it back to mk 1. the pups and water source are actual higher up in elevation than the factory itself. it was originally only 2 overclocked generators because thats where i thought the issue was originally. the coal belt is constantly full if not backed up the whole time. There is another gen next to the actual node itself and it has its own water supply. This issue doesn't occur with the first factory set up. The only time it failed on the first one was issues with coal. And for that one, it was already 1 pure node supplying 5 spaced out generators. So I found two additional normal nodes and set up a separate group of pumps to supply both the generators and materials for steel for the actual factory itself. the third factory being set up now is going to be using fuel generators to power it since it will be a much bigger factory. And all of this is taking place in the plains/hills biome.
@@Basspounder5 sounds odd and like it backs up somewhere... the belts backup but are the machines actually full of coal all the time? look at the one(s) going yellow... keep watching them... then see what they are missing and it might even be a tiny piece of belt the wrong speed hidden inside a splitter etc. (unless the error is fluid but again stalk the machines check them, find the one(s) that don't run as they should, keep the view open and watch what happens then work backwards from there
What do you think about the epic coal power plant? And are you prepping factories now for UE5's lumen?
I don't really use signs at the moment, haven't figured out how they work for lighting yet.
Does this coal generator setup still work in update 8? Because I can’t get it to work

I couldn't be bothered to make things pretty, then after seeing this.... I might be putting some effort in, it looks so good. Awesome job on the decor
I think this is my favourite architectural thing you've ever done! It looks amazing up close and from the sky!

it amazes me how often you forget to record lol but thats why we love you never know what to expect lol
😅 you can expect it in every episode no doubt
What mods are you using to get the curves? It would be great to know what mods you have installed for the game as a whole.
No mods for the curves - check my easy curves video. As for mods I use Pak for flying and recording and I use skybox ui so it's always light
This must have been before you made your fluid video. :P
where can get blueprints？
how did you replace the road barriars with the 1 quarter wall slope?
Hold ctrl
I'm a bit confused, is there a way for you to share all the blueprints you're using in this world?
You need to build Nuke 😁

All that water and you choose to overclock and waste power whilst building a power station. How inefficient. NOPE
Why spend so much time optimizing early/mid game builds when you dont have optimal recipes or miners etc and will just need to rebuild later?
