I'm a network administrator by day, and this mod looks amazing! Thank you for the video on it. It reminds me of the digital storage mods from modded Minecraft like Applied Energistics 2 and Refined Storage, which I love. I can't wait to play modded Satisfactory playthru with this mod in conjunction with all the other compatible mods! This is truly great stuff!
Very informative and useful. One recommendation: Slow your mouse movements and do not use your mouse in jerky motions or tight circular motions to point. For example: If you are talking about a Constructor that is right in front of you then we, the viewers, can see it clearly. Do not "swish" the mouse around to highlight the obvious. It's not just the mouse pointer that moves, it is the whole screen view that moves and is very disconcerting because it's not connected to a physical mouse movement that the viewer has made and who's brain is ready for.
Ooooh good call man. I very much appreciate the feedback. This is my first like "big" tutorial video so I definitely am still learning. I'll definitely remember that for the next 2 videos I make on Refined Power and Ficsit Farming and potentially any other vids I make. Sorry for the troubles and if it gave you a headache! Appreciate you taking the time to watch though and hope it helped!
@@ptsebago1 You arrent the first to do that, it mostly made me dizzy.. haha BTW, I was glad to see this video, I have been looking for a replacement for the item teleporter mod and this mod is it. I was thoroughly confused when trying to figure out how to get this mod to work and after seeing this vid I now know. My plan now is to have a complete network using this mod and not even using belts/trains/trucks/drones at all. I've been wanting to do a "build on demand" type set up as well and it looks like this mod will facilitate that, esp once they get that server fixed. ps- subbed/liked to help your small channel grow.
@@daveisnothere Thanks man I appreciate it! Yeah DS really changes how you play the game. You can 100% do a no-belt etc playthrough you'll just likely need to use them at the start until you get enough of the DS milestones unlocked to really dive into it. As for the on-demand crafting, it's been fixed now so you should be good. Apparently it actually WAS fixed in the version I was using for the video but I had seen on the discord that others had some issues and I hadn't realized it was a previous version so just wanted to be safe considering I had done the whole video in one take up to that point lol. Either way, thanks again and hope the next vids I do can be as helpful for you as this one!
Hi Phish. Wonder if you could post your big building in its empty state obviously so others can set up a digital storage center also. Cant find any good examples of a building like that that I could use to start my own DS farm. I have absolutely no design competence so I try to use the designs that are already available. It's not laziness it just is too much for me to design buildings. Thx in advance. A GREAT tutorial that answered alot of questions for me.
I may have missed something, but is there theoretically a way to make an 'overflow' server and hook it up to a sink so that any extra items will continue to flow? im not sure how it would be set up since you cant specifically call an item from a specific drive but that might be what the seperate networks could solve, please reply with any ideas to fix these issues or implement a system to continuosly keep items flowing into storage to get accurate maximum items/minute readings in your network IO. maybe a dedicated overflow drive that your storage connectors can direct to would be cool :P
You can 100% do this but it will be a little different than you might be thinking. What you would need to do is put a storage crate (or multiple) with storage adapters set to export on them. Then you'd have a belt coming out of the crate into a sink and then use the conditionals to define up to 6 items per crate to overflow. You'd set a conditional for each items export if the network has greater than X number of items with X being the amt you want to keep in stock in your system. Also only export 1 stack of each item at a time to prevent overflow of the crate. Again, you'd need to do this in groups of 6 items but you can stack crates and use mergers to condense everything down to one sink.
@@ptsebago1 OHHHHH I SEE NOW, thank you for explaining! thats very intuitive. i love having the network IO displaying correct information to more easily see how much of one thing i have coming in, thanks alot for your help!
@@trevormunger7073 No problem! Definitely feel free to join the discord if you need any additional help. Myself and a bunch of others are always around to answer questions. Enjoy! Happy Turkey Day! 🦃
Much Important question for you phish... now that i have automated a lot of things with DS, i noticed my machines are underclocking themselves. could this be because i am using one singular network for everything?
Hmm I can't say I've ever noticed that. You mean like machines that have shards in them that you already OC'd are suddenly lowering their clock speeds that you set? Or something else? If you're having any issues with DS, I definitely recommend hopping into the Refined R&D Discord if you can. There's still a number of things that are coming in terms of updates and there are some bugs currently. There's a channel on the Discord specifically for bug reports so if you're noticing an issue like that or something, it'd definitely help to get it posted in there so Mr. Hid (the lead dev) can take a look.
@@ptsebago1 when it slows down the production it is reallly weird though, it will say im making 0.001 parts per minute but the clock speed will be at 100%
PS: I think this would be a fun mod, but I'm an IT guy. I worry this mod would eliminate the need for any transportation. Like trains, belts, trucks and drones become useless if you can just "wire" everything to anywhere. A "Player's choice" kind of thing for sure. A play through using the mod could certainly be fun though.
So I have been using this for a moth now and the only addition I think it needs is a pole that can take both network and standard power rather than having to use two separate poles.
Ooooo I actually really like that idea! Maybe an extension piece you can put on top an existing power pole to add network capabilities to it so that it keeps the wires physically separated so you can still dismantle either one with the build gun but still keep them on the same lines between poles. Nice idea dude! Will definitely post this on our internal tracker as a request
if I understood correctly, then the crafting CPU knows the recipes completely with extra liquid output and it will not take more than it needs, because it has in the recipe that this liquid will be produced in the process of this recipe.
I am loving the mod, It reminds me so much of AE2 or refined storage which I adiored, but even after unlocking all the MAM recipes, I cannot see the wireless ground or wireless tower, the last item under 4. Wireless is the Wireless Access point, am I missing anything?
Those reactors are from Refined Power. It's one of the other mods from the Refined R&D team which is the team behind Digital Storage. The 3rd mod that they make is Ficsit Farming.
That I'm honestly not sure of. The mod has kind of been flying under the radar for a while now and it only came out back in I believe U8. Also, prior to the week of Thanksgiving, the way the drives/servers worked and the underlying network code had some issues that made it not nearly as usable as it is now. The mod is continually improving and the dev Mr. Hid and myself and a few others are already hard at work on new features and testing new stuff to get added soon. Definitely a mod worth keeping an eye on and trying out.
I explicitly explained it in the video. The range is for the tablet connection for accessing items remotely in an area around the tower without needing to place Access Points all over.
@@ptsebago1 It seems like an awful lot of time and resources to build the tower just for the tablet when you can use access points, after all the tablet is just an alternate to the dimensional depot. Maybe it could monitor crafting as well as storage.
@@jvebarnes If you feel like placing AP's all over your base, be my guest. I find it FAR easier to just have one tower at each main base with full extenders that covers the entire facility and also allows me to connect antennas from afar to bring in resources as needed. But by all means, play how you want. That's kinda the beauty of this game, you do it however you want to. Plus while yes, the DD is great, it also requires constant uploading and you either need 1 for every resource you want or have to do sushi belt style stuff etc. Whereas with the tablet I can instantly access ALL of my items without having to worry about upload. Also, just to make it crystal clear, I'm not one of the devs for these mods. I help the guys out with testing alpha builds and am assisting with documentation and making these videos but the final decisions on any changes are up to Mr. Hid. If you have suggestions, feel free to stop by the discord. There's a bug reports/suggestions channel specifically for suggestions and bug reports etc.
Ok, I've explored this mod a little deeper. For the Author of the mod: This mod is a complete replacement for the logistics in the game. As such, it should be placed in the tech tree as a DIRECT REPLACEMENT FROM THE START OF THE GAME. If I have to play through half the game to access it that means to really use it in a play-through I'd have to tear down all my early to mid game factories and rebuild them. I'm NOT going to do that. Burying it late in the tech tree makes it just a late game novelty. This mod is only useful for a COMPLETE play-through using it. So arrange it in the tech tree as what it is...a direct replacement for the vanilla logistics from the very start of the game.
Feel free to go suggest that in the Discord if you want. Devil's advocate though...most people tear down their starter factories to rebuild them better once they progress through the tech tree. It's INCREDIBLY common so I don't agree with that part of your argument in the slightest. Also, you don't need to tear down an entire build; just the belts and splitters etc and then attach the adapters. It's really a lot easier than you're making it out to be. But again, feel free to go suggest it if you'd like.
@@nickwood2767 Yeah good call man I meant to come back and comment again. The basic DS unlock is literally in T3 which is SUPER early game. You may not be able to do EVERYTHING right away but you unlock enough to do most of what you need pretty early on and like I said, its still REALLY easy to hook into an existing system or replace the belts and splitters/mergers and stuff that you already have to convert the few early builds you might have had to use DS. I think the commenter here really just isn't thinking this through fully to be honest.
Excellent tutorial! I appreciate how thorough you were, really makes it easy to understand all of the different aspects of the mod!

Same here man lol. And you hit the nail on the head. This mod was inspired by AE2 from modded Minecraft =]

If I can place a network antenna on the other side of the map and connect to the network tower what is the point of the network tower having a range.
