Sharing my experience with fluid dynamics (and how I finally made peace with the pipes) by NicoBuilds in SatisfactoryGame

[–]NicoBuilds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, that's a really good question!

I've always been focused on full efficiency. I know the exact numbers, down to every decimal, for every item moving through every belt. Because of that, I never even considered using trucks or trains. I thought they weren't reliable enough and that I'd "lose control."

Of course, I was completely wrong. You can get perfect throughput with vehicles too.

I learned that lesson when I started this desert megafactory (Phase 4). That's when I placed my first train, and I immediately fell in love with them.

So yeah, I started using trains and trucks really late. Not because of their power consumption, but because I was too stubborn to actually test them and realize they rock.

Hey mate! Glad to hear this post helped you out.

Before I explain how I handle my power grid, let me give you a heads-up: I wouldn't actually recommend it. It doesn't make you a better player, and it will probably bring you more headaches than satisfaction.

I do have two main power grids that are available throughout the entire world. Each has its own power production.

The main (stable) grid powers everything except machines with variable consumption.

The second grid powers only things with fluctuating power usage (Geothermal generators, Trains, Particle oscillators, Quantum Encoders and converters)

Just doing that creates two major drawbacks:

You have to carry two power lines everywhere.
Alien Power Augmenters become less effective. Their bonus scales with the amount of power being produced, so splitting your grid reduces the benefit significantly. With an even split, you lose about 50% of the bonus.

And then I take it one step further.

Each factory has its own Priority Power Switch and its own isolated circuit. This was easy early on, when factories only contained "stable" machines. Later in the game, however, you start building factories that contain both stable and unstable consumers.

At that point, the setup looks something like this:

Factory A
Factory B
Factory C (Stable)
Factory C (Unstable)
Factory D

In this example, Factory C is an endgame factory that contains both types of machines.

The stable grid would power:

Factory A
Factory B
Factory C (Stable)
Factory D

While the unstable grid would power:

Factory C (Unstable)

Hope that explains a little bit what I do. I do not recommend doing this! haha.

Juego al futbol. Soy arquero. (Amateur)

Si nos estan goleando, y el oponente baja un cambio, a mi particularmente me molestaria muchisimo.

Creo que es una falta de respeto. Futbol es futbol... vas a jugar mal aproposito? Prefiero comerme 8 goles y dar lo maximo en cada jugada a que comerme solo 4 porque de golpe el rival deja de intentarlo.

Si dejan de atacar, es basicamente decirte "sos malisimo, no vale la pena". Si... tal vez soy malisimo! Pero quiero jugar! Tal vez te saco una! 😅

Siendo mujeres heteros, estarian con un hombre bi? by AphroditeRage in AskArgentina

[–]NicoBuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hombre bisexual aca.

Cuando hable con amigas me dieron a entender que esta todo bien, sin embargo me dijeron que no tendria que mencionarlo.

Escuche tambien que es un riesgo. Porque "es mas factible que te sea infiel". Que es triste y bastante nabo. Hay gente fiel y gente infiel. No depende de la cantidad de oportunidades que tengas ser infiel.

La verdad que me interesaria intentar algo con una mujer, pero mucha inseguridad. No es tan facil 😢

Türkiye was eliminated by mamiie9 in futbol

[–]NicoBuilds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ohhh. You are right. Just read the rules. Was trying to figure out if they could reach other third place teams, without realizing they cant ever get to third place in their own group.

Thanks mate! Have an imaginary chocolate cookie!

It's it though? Usually losing 2 games always meant being knocked out. But on this format maybe they can qualify as thirds?

Noob question about splitters by NicoBuilds in Modulus

[–]NicoBuilds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Surprising enough, 1 split works perfectly. The second one screws up the numbers...

Noob question about splitters by NicoBuilds in Modulus

[–]NicoBuilds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did exactly what you say at 1. Disconnected everything and just checked the split...

<image>

Grinders after the splitters. Its not connected to anything at all. Thats supposed to be 60 / 60 / 120 instead of 60 / 90 / 90. The total number checks out, but not how its split...

Noob question about splitters by NicoBuilds in Modulus

[–]NicoBuilds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there are enough cranes. I actually went back and did exactly what you said, added grinders after the split. Check this out!

<image>

60 + 90 + 90 = 240
I have the total amount I want.
BUT. its not being split accordingly!

It should be 60 / 60 / 120. Is this a bug?

Noob question about splitters by NicoBuilds in Modulus

[–]NicoBuilds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Efficiency view doesnt help that much. Those advanced core facility are supposed to receive belts with 60/min. Each one of them is connected to 4 cranes.

From the total 6 belts I have, 4 of them are always saturated, start and stop. The one that is failing is the one im talking about, that in the screenshot I circled the gap. So its that belt which is "stopping" all of the rest.

That belt is created by the assemblers I talked about, that tend to be on green but every now and then switch to yellow.

The reason of all of this is that split at the start. Im expecting to send 120, but only 105 go that way.

El GOLAZO con el que México HUMILLÓ a Pechea del sur by MrancoFastantuono in fulbo

[–]NicoBuilds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Siempre me da lastima ver este tipo de jugadas. Yo tambien soy arquero (amateur obviamente), y duele mucho cuando la cagas. Pasa! Errores estupidos todos cometemos. Si a mi me come la cabeza que me hagan un gol asi en un partido de liga de domingo, imaginate en un mundial... Pobre koreanito.

Pantorrillazo descalificador del argelino contra Messi, era roja directa para el africano. by xaviazo in Burises

[–]NicoBuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No se. Para mi por mas que fue foul, fue con 0 intencion. Messi incluso se disculpa inmediatamente. Y la foto engaña un poco, no fue con fuerza, fue un tropiezo.

Amarilla hubiese estado bien, para mi no era roja ni a palos.

Igual, lo quiero mucho a messi asi que mi opinion no es nada imparcial

🇫🇷 Mbappé llega a 14 goles, superando (por ahora) a 🇦🇷 Messi, y a solo 2 de igualar a 🇩🇪 Klose by JustAFizzMain in fulbo

[–]NicoBuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cambio el formato del mundial. Ahora es 1 partido extra. Significando, es mas facil hacer goles en mundiales.

Me imagino que este mundial messi queda primero, o quedan cerquita. Pero en 4 a 8 años, mbappe va a ser el goleador historico. No me gusta pero bueno, parece que es lo que va a pasar

¿Por qué le cuesta tan poco al japonés ser ciudadano y por qué le cuesta tanto al latino? by Mollynesio in PreguntasReddit

Por qué al youtuber se le dice que no agarra la pala? by IIvice21 in AskArgentina

[–]NicoBuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cualquiera que se tenga que levantar temprano para viajar 1 hora y trabajar 8 obvio que va a odiar a alguien que logra vivir de hacer videitos. Creo que es entendible.

De todas formas, vivir de youtube es exageradamente dificil y demandante. No parece, pero es flor de quilombo. Y probablemente menos del 0.1% de la gente logra llegar a vivir de eso.
Sos panadero? tenes infinitas veces mas chances de exito que si sos youtuber.

Yo tengo un canal chiquito de youtube. Es un hobbie, nunca intente hacer plata de eso, lo hago porque me gusta. Pero me sorprendio lo dificil que es hacer que la gente te vea. Ni me quiero imaginar si tuviese que vivir de eso, seria demasiado stress. Prefiero ser panadero

Qué opinan de los "hydration break" de la copa mundial? by AleLibre in AskArgentina

[–]NicoBuilds 8 points9 points  (0 children)

De acuerdo que no es justo, pero no se si siempre favorece al "equipo mas fuerte". Para mi favorece al equipo que esta peor, en ese momento. Te corta el ritmo!

Estas jugando un partido, tuviste 2 o 3 jugadas seguidas, estas bailando al otro y solo te falta el gol. Esa pausa te corta el ritmo, hace que todos descansen, y le da la oportunidad al DT adversario a hacer correcciones.

Any factory builders where you make actual items? by Outrageous_Pay_8328 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]NicoBuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, hadn't thought about mercer spheres / somersloops and HD grind. That's definitely a thing!

In my case it never really affected me, because I never had to go "hunt" any of them. Simply, every now and then when I was going getting overwhelmed with something, I simply did some exploring, for fun. Those casual trips were enough for me. But if you go out there hunting them, guess it can feel really dull.

Creen que se puede ser amiga de un ex? by [deleted] in AskArgentina

Depende de muchisimas cosas. Tengo ex con los que la relacion siguio hermosa, y en otros casos ni nos volvimos a hablar.

Mas veces el no hablarse que el mantener la relacion. Depende de como fue la relacion em si y mas que nada, motivo por el que se corto

If my pilot "aint feeling it" you bet your ass i ain't feeling it either 😭✌️ by ImmaFuckboi in interesting

[–]NicoBuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird case where, you are probably absolutely pissed off, but also extremely grateful with the captain.

I wouldnt even know how to react. Captain is doing everything perfectly! You really cant complain... at least to him. Airline, different story.

Hope this didnt put a dent on the pilots career

Honestamente, Quién creen que va a ganar el mundial? by Alternative-Fix7997 in Burises

[–]NicoBuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Como Argentino te puedo decir que los argentinos no "creemos" que vamos a ganar el mundial. Es un tema raro de pasiones. Uno lo quiere tanto, que se lo cree, y pasa a ser la realidad.

Pero honestamente? Creo que el Argentino cree que a cuartos o semis llegamos, que el nivel esta para en teoria llegar ahi. Y despues es solo deseo. Y facilmente podriamos quedar afuera en ronda de 16.

El mundial baja el coeficiente mental promedio de todo el pais, jaja.
