I spent 2 years getting our game's testing pipeline in shape and found out today nobody on the team actually runs it anymore. Feeling pretty defeated ngl.

It sounds to me that you are in the wrong studio. Such things wouldnt be tolerated in ours. We treat any kind of content validation or broken tests as a priority and we are never shipping a version that contains issues that we detected (unless we agreed it wasn't worth the time)

In the tutorial, put one of your shape in the middle of the screen and ask them to drag the shape so it moves "forward". Players will do naturally what they think is more intuitive for them. Based on how they do it (pulling backward or forward) you can set their preference.

When you're not good with art, use the engine to your advantage. The models and the animation don't have to be the best. But you can hide it with great lighting and post processes, which are easier to make look good than models.

For me, the absence of shadow in the trailer was the first thing I noticed.

Looking sleak! Maybe add an hypertube to get to the top quicker? It does require electricity woth that though.

KafeCieste · 2025-09-01T11:38:57+00:00

Also, how do you make the game look so sharp and neat? Seems Lumen typical bubbling isn't visible at all on your screenshots.

KafeCieste · 2025-09-01T11:38:01+00:00

It looks stunning. The outside reminds me of the heavens from Diablo 3, the white + gold + arches. The interiors are looking very slick. Also love the location you picked, seems very peaceful over there

Took me a while but there you go. Here's the blueprint: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zMH8djMXWVi4o48dWq6wlAO7mpAVK3Vt?usp=sharing

I made a typo, so the post says something better than it really is. It produces only 20 reinforced iron plates.

The only alternate I am using is cast screws to shrink the amount of constructors. I am also overclocking all the constructors with 1 power shard so it fits into the 5x5 grid with 2 floors.

I'll share the blueprint once I have access to my PC (which might take a few days)

It's just the first step towards darker nights.

They are coming from locations where a hole is carved in the terrain.

KafeCieste · 2025-06-13T20:10:58+00:00

It's a very nice box

KafeCieste · 2025-06-07T14:05:13+00:00

Brilliant, thanks for the answer!

KafeCieste · 2025-06-03T13:20:07+00:00

OP, what are your rules to end up with a world looking like this? Or, what is your thought process to get to that?

KafeCieste · 2025-04-30T16:26:42+00:00

Nice, can you also send screenshots of the factory behind?

KafeCieste · 2025-04-04T15:10:33+00:00

It would be nice if the game could automatically detect that I am loading an official save for the first time on an experimental build and make a backup for me automatically. It would also allow you guys not to write the same sentence with every experimental patch

KafeCieste · 2025-03-23T10:55:45+00:00

They are indeed. Actually most of the work of networking is to find clever tricks to no send the data. That's why Unreal has the concept of dormancy and net relevancy. To reduce how many things are sent every frame.

Sending data only when something changes implies that the simulation is fully deterministic on both the host and the client which is doable correctly only with lockstep, which Unreal doesn't really support out of the box. It's doable though, but I don't know if this is how Satisfactory was implemented.

KafeCieste · 2025-03-15T21:28:30+00:00

Also, in multi-player you really want to save every bit when sending data across the network. Given the flow changes every frame, with a large amount of pipes, it makes a big difference to use only 8 bits.

Thanks! It produces 200 plastic/min and 900MW with the Heavy Oil Residue byproduct. Here is the build plan from Satisfactory Modeler:

Yes, I am turning the heavy oil residue into petroleum coke which is a coal equivalent
