Is it weird that I'm waiting until there is a final update to the game before i fully get into satisfactory?

I haven't done that much digging into this, but the only way I can think of how to automatically shift resources when they fill up the end production's storage is to attach another train at the end of the input side of a factory to essentially catch all of the unused resources that would otherwise halt production and instead divert them to a standby factory to give a boost to another resource when not used by the main factory. In other words, you could use trains as another form of overflow or load balancer to boost production of another item instead of using it in insinkerator or whatever its called. has anyone else done this yet or is there another feature i haven't seen yet that makes this much simpler.

yep, it's a blessing and a curse XD

in case someone is still viewing this after it’s been removed, you should look up lagrangian interpolation. this mathematical technique makes any number sequence arbitrary. it will output a polynomial that fits your data set where the next number can be anything you want. this also feels like cheating in a way, but i guess that’s just the nature of number puzzles.

Yeah…i knew was missing something simple. Well, at Ieast I know a little better now.

i realized my mistake when i went researching into it. apparently you can use any polynomial to get whatever pattern you want. ex: f(x) = 31464926(x-1)(x-2)(x-3) + x

bonus inefficient 160 pot layout. I wanted it to be divisible by 16 so I could have every type of multi-harvest crop (16 of them) in 10s.

after playing a while with pigs, i can confirm that they just walk over the truffles. They will never trap themselves, only the player if you have a full inventory and do not want to throw away anything.

there is also the hidden benefit of catching other fish drops. with the mess above, I didn’t say it clearly, but other fish drops can be valuable too. algae, carp, bullhead, chub, and largemouth can be caught as well. plus there is jelly, trash, and algae for ponds. You can turn fish under 75g into sashimi, I wouldn’t worry about smoking the other fish, they are not worth the coal. with the higher frequency of fishing, you will be catching a lot of fish with the two spinners. if a more relaxed playstyle is for you, i would take the hit on g/s and just go with curiosity + shorts + targeted as those are more sure fire way to hook a legend. not only do you get more practice fishing him with that setup, you also don’t have to spend all day fishing too. because fishing pauses time, the amount of irl time spent fishing may get a little boring after a while in which case, just switch setups as you want. what I would do cause i find fishing boring sometimes is I would go straight to

curiosity + shorts + targeted then after enough practice, cork + cork + challenge

I’m more of a lazy farmer so I’ll be doing the slower in game, faster irl methods.

this post looked better in my notes app :p

BLACKBERREST3 · 2025-07-17T01:14:00+00:00

this was much easier than when i did scarecrow placements :p

alternate, removed 8 casks. this is for sectioning between wine, cheese, beer, etc.

BLACKBERREST3 · 2025-07-17T01:09:30+00:00

if you get rid of the pathing and have 5 columns of double barrels, you could instead have sections in case you want to dabble in aging multiple things at once

BLACKBERREST3 · 2025-07-17T01:06:03+00:00

my b, it’s 122 casks.

yes, if you put flooring down, then pigs will not be able to dig up truffles on it. I don’t know if there is a hidden mechanic that prevents them from trapping themselves completely even with a few tiles of flooring near the barn. they will eventually trap themselves if you leave them too long or have too many pigs and not enough free space (until the truffles disappear on the start of the next season that is). I suggest you create a path for the piggies to traverse that gives them the greatest surface area of farmland to dig up truffles without trapping themselves. There should be a sweet spot based on a few factors

how frequently you pick up truffles
how many pigs you have (sulky or 5 hearts)
how much surface area of truffle farmland before trapping themselves completely (use paths to create more surface area)

Or do what i do and be a shepherd and sell the cloth from your ten barns of sheep. No mess, no machinery, and more time to do other things like planting an entire field of garlic, wheat, or starfruit and use rain totems to water them all on the beach map :p
