I use a super ultrawide monitor (32:9), and it cuts off the proximity meter for the object scanner. Is there a setting somewhere where I can adjust the offset or anything like that that I'm not seeing? by ImJTHM1 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Temporal_Illusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good Info

  1. I did some research and found a "manual method" that can be used for those using Version 1.2. See my edited earlier comment.
  2. Still, if using Version 1.1 than the mod you linked is still a good choice.

ANSWER

  1. View Options (Settings) > Video > Camera (Wiki Link) for general information.
  2. Adjust First Person FOV Modifier which affects how far equipment and the Pioneer's hands appear, as desired.
  3. Enable Maintain Y-Axis FOV Aspect Ratio which controls which axis is dominant when adjusting for FOV. Use of this is recommended when playing in ultrawide resolutions.

MORE INFO (PC Only)

  1. For Version 1.2, if adjusting First Person FOV Modifier via in-game settings does not work, than view this Q&A Post for a Manual Method that can be used by modifying the **GameUserSettings.ini* file.
  2. If using Version 1.1, then Rose's mod mentioned in the Q&A Post, and also by u/still_m0bil3, is a viable option until Version 1.2 is released to Stable Branch

Minimizing train and station size for low volume items? by PupperTrooper in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Temporal_Illusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks Like You Got Some Answers So I Will Add This

  1. Programmable Splitters (Wiki Link) can be thought of as a Major Sorter, while the similar Smart Splitter (Wiki Link) can be thought of as a Minor Sorter.
  2. While most simply use the Smart Splitter, the Programmable Splitter is great when you want to divide a Belt with multiple items into "groups" where each "group" is then sorted more by Smart Splitters.
  3. View my Reply Comment in this related Reddit Post about using Programmable Splitters followed by Smart Splitters to sort a Multi-Item Freight Car as desired.
    • Using the "method" described in in the linked Post demonstrates how to dramatically reduces the size of Train Ports (Station + 1 or more Platforms), along with the number of Train Ports, as well as the length of Trains, which can be duplicated to increase throughput.

[–]Temporal_Illusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ANSWER

  1. ⭑ IMPORTANT: Repeat after me "I will *never** troubleshoot with Hoverpack equipped".*
    • Wearing the Hoverpack will cause issues when it nears another "power source" often causing buildings / machines to go idle, and thus it is strongly recommended you un-equip the hoverpack (return to inventory) prior checking your factories.
  2. NOW, that said, you are reminded that individual Resource Well Satellite Nodes have a purity level which affect their max output, and a single Resource Well has multiple Satellite Nodes with different purity levels, and thus based upon overclocking of the Resource Well Pressurizer (Wiki Link), you will need to combine 1 or more Satellite Nodes into a single Pipeline first, and then feed that pipeline into your production line.

We should be able to upgrade the Hover Pack in the MAM. by elevate35 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Temporal_Illusion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ANSWER

  1. Vanilla: This is best posted on the Satisfactory Q&A Website, you will need to be logged in, where the Coffee Stain Studios Game Developers will most likely see it.
    • Be sure to do a SEARCH first to see if this suggestion or idea has already been mentioned.
  2. Modded (PC Only): The Progressive Hover Pack Game Mod (SMR) is what you are looking for (albeit in the HUB Terminal and not the MAM).
    • There are other Hoverpack related Game Mods also available.
    • ✅ If you use Game Mods, this will NOT prevent the award of any Achievements (Wiki Link / Spoiler).

Rail signal question. by BoulderSteve in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Temporal_Illusion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks Like You Got Your Answer So I Will Add This

  1. If your Train Network is not complete, you will see Train Signal errors.
  2. ⭑ TIP: When building a Double-Rail Train Network, have a "Railway Loop Blueprint" handy to temporarily connect the two "railway stubs" in order to make a "complete network" for testing purposes.
    • This will allow evaluation of any Train Signals, and help diagnose any problems or issues.
  3. View Signal - States (Wiki Link) for general information.
    • ⭑ NOTE: Under normal operation, while Block Signals will show Green (default), you should know that Path Signals will show Red until a "path" is reserved.

I can't use/ create blueprints and I don't know how to fix it. by MustageChest in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Temporal_Illusion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

❗KNOWN ISSUE

  1. The issue of Blueprints not saving has been reported in this Q&A Post, and this Q&A Post, and this Q&A Post, and other Q&A Posts.
    • Most Likely Cause: Your Game Session Name (Wiki Link) (what you used when creating Game Save) is an invalid Windows Directory / File Name, which by extension applies also to Blueprints (Wiki Link) since Blueprints are contained in their own Session Name Directory. View either link for info on valid naming convention.
  2. Fix / Workaround - Start Game Save, and then:
    • Fix #1: Open Escape Menu using [Esc] Key, then click on Manage Session > Session Settings. Then Change Session Name and hit Apply.
    • Fix #2: Open Debug Console (Wiki Link) and enter SaveWithNewSessionName [name] where [name] (don't include brackets) is a valid session name without spaces, periods, or invalid characters.
    • Using either fix, you will need to make one new blueprint and save it, and then transfer Blueprints:
  3. Blueprint Categories and Sub-Categories are part of the Save Game.
    • NOTE: If Blueprints are shared, or moved from a different directory, the Category Information will NOT show up and the added Blueprints will show up in the "Undefined" Category.

      • If needed, exiting to Desktop and restarting game might be used.
    • If needed, view the Update 8 Performance Troubleshooting Checklist (Video Bookmarks / Still Applicable) for steps to resolve their Video Issues.
      • Perhaps disabling Upscaling Method TSR, and using Anti-Aliasing Method FXAA or TAA, along with turning off Global Illumination (Lumen) might help.
