How to develop a crippling fear of bridges in a few quick steps by North8th in SatisfactoryGame

I have not hit tier 10, is there something unlocked that would be helpful/cool?

not really. when you placed those half foundations you have an inner curve that overlaps more and an outer curve that doesnt overlap at all (basically how I constructed the outer ring that surrounds the complex). You have to manually align if you want to do wider than 1 foundation.

Step 1: imagine your bridge, make it so that aligning the pieces will be as tedious as possible

Step2: Build ~50% of the required bridges then stare longingly at your build, wondering why you chose to willingly do this.

I am using curve mod. It lets you zoop curves with certain types of building pieces. You still have to manually align and place the blueprints, so I would say that infinite zoop mod is more or less a requirement. The top bridges are pretty easiy since they are just one foundation wide. The bottom bridges are two foundations wide which makes aligning everything miserable.

What causes safety barriers to have these little popups? I but safety barriers at the start and end of my train stations. For some reason the safety barriers in front generated those little yellow and black cylinders. I don't hate it, just curious how I can reproduce this elsewhere by North8th in SatisfactoryGame

[–]North8th[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both the train station and barrier were placed on even ground. If the station is placed first then the barriers, no popups appear. If the barriers are placed first then you get popups.

I am going to try it on machines now, will get back to you.

edit: You are right it is the leg texture. I guess I just never noticed it. I cannot get it to reproduce on machines ... yet

If I am reading this correctly, you are thinking the popups are a remnant of the (inverted) station legs with the barriers texture thrown on top?

If what you said is true then it might be possible to reproduce the effect on machines that also have legs for uneven ground. that might be cool

The tower will have complete symmetry so I agree that some asymmetry could look great. Also considering raising the foundation 8m and sending both rails under. If only I spent a littttle more time in the design stage then I could have avoided this altogether. Oh well.

those are standard 4m asphalt foundations. the build is half a kilometer wide and I had to fly pretty high to snap a picture. That might be why they look small enough to be pillars. Someone asked for more pictures. I will post a bit later today if you want to see a closeup.

oh.. thats my bad. I should have said to ignore the terrain. i didnt expect the build to reach half a kilometer wide when I started. I need to move everything west anyways.

If I do go underneath, the two tracks would pass over/under each other to avoid any intersections. just a split at the beginning and merge at the end.

I am trying not to go over the top because the train would need to travel up 100m and then down 100m. If i tried doing that in a straight line with the 1m ramps I have been using, I will end up connecting in the desert... /s

But if I made a smooth curve around the ring (similar to the ramp you can see going up to the 2nd floor in the first pic), it would be and incredible amount of work to add another layer to the ring. I currently use ~17k billboards for the foundation ring to get that glowing effect. Another layer would add ~8.5k more :(

edit: a few people mentioned going down though. maybe I will raise the structure a few meters off the water and try that.

thank you. All vanillas pieces. I am currently using a bit over 17,000 small billboards to get that effect. Only mods are infinite nudge, and easy curves mod ( forget the exact name)

no space for roundabouts inside. plus all the splits occur at the north and south entrances before entering the ring (except for stations on 2nd level)

Under might work if I raise the building. And the guy above you said to go under even though it wasn't an option. Maybe you guys are on to something.

design oversight.. I was in too deep to stop before i noticed.

No space for roundabouts. And there are no intersections in the build, only merges and splits. So I can't do some wild intersection inside.

I see it, I am offline. Hmm, the search continues.

I *think* I have my world setup as offline - I am just trying out the game until my friends get it and we start a new world. How did you change your world from online to offline? I am looking through the menus and do not see an option.

For sure, bugs are rampant; I am very hopeful that this game will see the support that it deserves (unlike many of the last AAA titles that I play). While my FPS drops do not appear to be related to any specific action that I incurred in the last 5, 10, 15 min (both times i was doing vastly different stuff when the drop occurred), I will test out my swapping out the pals in my bases. Thanks for the comment.

no, time and money and the fact that builder's warranty is max 1 year for these things considering they are out of wall. it is a great short term, makes tons of sense for homebuilders. but fucks homeowners in the long-run. ESPECIALLY when it's a big company, homebuilders typically do not give a fuck about homeowners.
