For the sake of clarity and to be up to date: This video doesn't show the latest changes present in the demo. The demo as of right now has the following: - Crank generator originally only lasted 5 minutes, which has been changed to 2 hours, but has now been reverted to 5 minutes again because... - Waterwheels were added, allowing to automatically run the crank generators. 1 wheel powers 2 generators. Also, generators can now be linked together, allowing you to power all with just powering one. - The Thresher can fuel itself with the plantmatter fiber it produces, meaning you don't have to built a belt to feed it again for power. It will take what it needs from its output. This was already the case in the previous version, but I still wanted to mention it.
Glad you've covered this TotalXclipse, love your stuff and had great fun testing this in the Alpha and the demo. Loking forward to the full release of this game.
Once the belts feeding FROM the threshers are oversaturated the seeds will stop producing until the threshers can output. It hasn't caused an issue for me yet, as the trickle of seeds flows at the same speed that the output from the threshers is used. Presumably if you have a higher fuel usage rate the seed production rate would increase as well.
Wow didn't know you could get this deep with the demo, mostly only messed around it in for a little bit and the other videos i've watched people would do 1 or 2 videos than never do more.
@@TotalXclipse I found it really handy! Though, you have to do 2 stages of threshing, since they make Stems first, so you'll still have to feed Plant Matter back into the first tier of threshers.
@@TotalXclipse start them with at least one fuel that is hand feed, then they will automatically pull from the plant matter after they run out initial fuel that was feed.
For a more efficient build, the thresher needs to be really close to the planter. 1 thresher for 2 planters. In your build, almost all the seeds are on the belts, either going to the thresher, or coming back to the planter. The shorter the belt is, the sooner they get planted again. Nice factory btw. I love this game, but cant play actually because it crash everytime ...
Thanks for the tips! - have you tried playing the demo or just the alpha? The demo seems a bit more stable than the alpha was. I've had no crashes yet 14 hours into the game
@@TotalXclipse i tried both version ... I did talk to Joey on discord and he ask his teamates. But they didnt find anything to fix that. The issue seems to be graphic related ... But i have a rtx 3070 ... So i dont know ...
Until the recent patch you could t attach the water wheel to the hand cranks until you repair the next terminal - but with the patch I've been able to do that now
It's not infinite but it's something like several hundred thousand to millions of ores per node, so you'll not be moving setups often. In 14 hours of playing the game, my miners have juststarted creating a small dent in the node
@@Selrahcnedder The other method is to make sure the thresher has grabbed the input you want it using first. Adding the fuel first is easier to remember than hooking it up in a certain order, though.
Although I'm super excited for this game, the whole fuelling aspect seems over compilated from various videos I've watched and concerned that you'll spend more time on that rather than building the actual factory. I get eventually you'll get to water power etc but still one slight red flag for me
So happy to be covering this game for the demos release!

I'm just glade this game finale came out I've been waiting for what feels like a year.

Nice I planned to do another play through my next day off.
I'm not gonna lie this looks really good for a game this early in development.

also check Foundry, there is demo too and you can dig mines there 🤩

The Threshers that produce Plant Matter don't need to be fed fuel from belts, they'll hang onto a portion of what they produce.
Oh really? That's cool!

downloaded it as soon as i saw the title! ciao!
Once this game gets ultra wide support I’ll be all over it.
My last play session I seemed to get best results with pairing two planters with one thresher. So, I was building them out in modules.
the color palate reminds me a lot of Subnautica, can't wait for early access to release

found the demo yesterday..
btw you want water wheel for spinning those generators ;)

The "not copper"😁👍
Is that Iron node infinite? Or will it eventually run out and result in remaking the whole setup elsewhere?
It's not infinite but it's something like several hundred thousand to millions of ores per node, so you'll not be moving setups often. In 14 hours of playing the game, my miners have juststarted creating a small dent in the node
@@TotalXclipse Great to know, thanks!
How do you automate fuel to the threshers? It always goes back in something to thresh instead of fuel.
If you manually give the thresher fuel that is something it is making, then it will automatically grab its own output for fuel going forward.

How long did it take to hand crank all those the first time?
it's just a two clicks, took a minute at most
😀👍👍👍
So it's Satisfactory on drugs?
😂
Good Summary! :D

I've played it and it's much easier to hand-feed fueled machines once an hour or so, until you unlock ones that use electricity.
Satisfactory 2
More like 1st person Factorio but it's well worth checking out!
@@TotalXclipse yes
First and heya Total!
I think I was first ;) but hey!
@@TotalXclipse Fair but unfair hahaha
