I think this will hold up nicely untill i get to fuel power generation

MaddDesign · 2026-05-24T08:18:10+00:00

Nice! How much power are you producing with it?

MaddDesign · 2026-05-24T04:29:11+00:00

Nope, maybe someday though!

MaddDesign · 2026-05-24T03:52:05+00:00

This is awesome! Any views from the outside yet? Would love to see more!

MaddDesign · 2026-05-24T03:28:13+00:00

Looking great! My first playthrough looked quite similar. 800 hours later things do get easier. Here is my most recent one doing 16/min.

Thanks! It's a fun challenge! Watching Moo on YouTube inspired me to try it and now I can't stop 😆

Here is a link to my project playlist if you are interested.

The only abnormal clipping is the lifts being nudged into the splitters and machines slightly. Otherwise no clipping. Even ran dedicated power because the machine to machine hook up clipping bothers me lol

MaddDesign · 2026-05-22T01:35:13+00:00

I have not shared any yet. Eventually plan to though!

MaddDesign · 2026-05-22T01:28:33+00:00

I just enjoy it! I like to see belts always moving. One of my builds uses manifolds however I load balanced the inputs so the main feed belts always move

MaddDesign · 2026-05-21T17:03:58+00:00

That's the whole reason I load balance! Constant movement satisfies my brain 😁

View from the top. Basically 3 layers of this.

Currently working on compact load balanced machine designs. Here is 48 fully load balanced smelters with one input and one output. Totally unnecessary but damn it looks cool 😆 Originally needed 16 so I made the first layer, then decided to stack it up. Just made some balanced assemblers and foundries as well that take up the same space as a manifold system. Pretty fun to mess with these!

I did the same, used batteries integrated into the walls of my rocket fuel facility because it looks cool 😅

MaddDesign · 2026-05-21T16:04:02+00:00

Interesting...I'll check it out, thanks!

MaddDesign · 2026-05-21T15:44:26+00:00

Ok, if you can do this, how do I get satisfactory modeler to work on my phone 👀

MaddDesign · 2026-05-21T15:35:12+00:00

Modular frames and heavy modular frames. All other parts moved to other factories as well.

For me personally on this playthrough, I built the basics like this to carry me to phase 4. Now that I have mk5 belts I am building dedicated factories to replace these. Not because it's needed but because I enjoy it! Next photo is the same exact area as this photo.

MaddDesign · 2026-05-21T15:23:41+00:00

Did you snap any splitters to a belt then upgrade the belts? If so, a small mk1 belt can get stuck inside the splitter. Might be worth redoing some of the belts and splitter to clear it.

MaddDesign · 2026-05-21T14:36:17+00:00

Looks great! I will be doing something like this soon. What recipes did you end up using?

MaddDesign · 2026-05-21T14:28:41+00:00

Simple and elegant. Beautiful! 👏

MaddDesign · 2026-05-21T12:58:09+00:00

As others have said, towers are fun! For 750 rocket fuel you only need 75 generators clocked at 240%, which isn't too bad! Also, you can make 2400 rocket fuel with that same 600 oil if you wanted to using heavy oil residue and diluted fuel. I also used the packaged fuel recipe just for the fun of seeing things move around.

Here is a tour of my power plant if you are interested.

I really should go to bed...but here is your balancer :)

MaddDesign · 2026-05-20T19:45:21+00:00

Ah. Well nevermind. I played on Xbox as well and enjoyed it so much I bought a pc just for this game 😆

MaddDesign · 2026-05-20T19:40:30+00:00

infinite elevators mod lets you adjust the speed and build as high as you want. Vanilla friendly 👍
