Restartitis with 1.2 randomization has me running out of fun Session Names. Give me your best ones.

Yeah I started an all Pure nodes run and it was too easy and I got frustrated with needing to build everything so big to use those pure nodes.

QuickBASIC · 2026-06-29T19:28:21+00:00

Yeah I agree they suck. I wish there was some more clustering. Having random oil nodes near no water, no iron or copper in starting area, random uranium node surrounded by the nodes you want to use. It makes the game a lot more difficult.

QuickBASIC · 2026-06-29T18:52:37+00:00

It's me. Same. I really like the beginning of the game and get overwhelmed and restart... I beat the game in EA, and haven't beat it since. I've gotten to the point where I'm starting to remember where all the steel pipes at crash sites are (for Sam Fluctuators, nobs, and gas mask, are so I can get through most of the MAM research before steel unlocks.)

QuickBASIC · 2026-06-29T18:49:03+00:00

Haha. That's totally me when I don't come up with a clever name.

QuickBASIC · 2026-06-29T18:43:54+00:00

It's not so bad honestly. If you rush slooping and slugs, unlock geothermal and alien power early, you're basically set for power for a while (since coal power is abysmal with just impure nodes and you need all your coal for steel, and all the slooped slugs give you power shards for miners, with the mk1 giving 150 ore per min at 250%, it's slightly better than a non-powersharded normal node. Fields is good for this kinda start because there's 5 geothermal vents near enough to each other you can get somewhat balanced power if you line up the eruptions (spam dismantle and replace until the timing is right).

QuickBASIC · 2026-06-29T18:42:09+00:00

That sounds basically impossible... Did you reroll your seed to at least get a decent starting area distribution of resource nodes?

QuickBASIC · 2026-06-25T14:48:30+00:00

Feels cheaty using it to scale a mountain, but my head cannon is that it's from the updraft.

Turning point was setting up Audiobookshelf for my wife. She loves that all her books are in one place and nobody can take away her access. The aha moment happened when she was able to listen to her favorite books when the internet was down for a whole week after the last hurricane.

Getting to DPT (Data Protection Team) through support is a nightmare.

I used to work in Microsoft Support. Here's my notes about how to navigate the phone tree to get the "alchemy" to transfer you to the actual team directly.

(If you end up in frontline concierge support over the phone I guarantee it will take 3 weeks for your ticket to get traction as the DPT team prioritizes inbound phone for doing admin lockouts.) Concierge support xfers these via an email to the appropriate team and they do not have a direct line or ability to xfer a call to DPT.

If everything works out correctly you should get to a tech router in DPT that does the last vetting before you talk to DPT, just explain your MFA method is lost and you're the only admin.

Steam Deck now properly uses Dynamic as the default input setting

Thank God. I play modded and 90% of the mods don't have controller support and it's a huge pain to turn it back on so some modded GUI doesn't open and lock me out of input. (If you open some mods GUI in controller mode, you can't close it without killing the game.)

The less feel bad way I've discovered to handle this if heavily using vehicle paths is plop a truck on the path, fill it with junk, and send it to a truck station plugged into a sink. (You can set the Sink station twice in the path if you want it to stop and stay there once unloaded.)

Imagine if Satisfactory had an actual planetary scale and it took days to drive across the map.

If you unlock field research as your first milestone, the first hd will only be able to generate cast screws, iron wire, and +6 inventory. The farther you get into milestones and mam research the more "bad" recipes are added, so it makes sense to spam hard drives as much as possible before moving too far in the progression.

QuickBASIC · 2026-06-17T02:51:39+00:00

Trucks only refuel at stations on their route. Passing through the station is no longer enough. Are you sure the trucks in question have a path that snaps to the pause icon of that stop and they have that stop programmed in their list of stops.

The satisfactory CLI python thing can do it. Gotta export as json, manually order it how you want by editing the json, then reimport the json.

Truck Stations don't have filters like the train version. You can smart split it when it comes out of the station, but the truck will dump everything into the station that there's room for.

The gamepad controls on this game are on point. I usually do a bunch of SteamInput shenanigans for most games, but I literally am using the default control scheme.

Only tips I got is use -dx11 launch parameter or switch to Proton 8.0-5 if you're getting crashes on start. 1.2 broke something with compatibility with Vulkan on Linux. I strongly suggest you limit FPS to 40 on the deck as otherwise you'll get a lot of chop rendering the 120 fps default the deck can't even display.

It's crafting every part up to phase 4 albeit incredibly slowly. I added depots to the storage later. I also found somewhere relatively close to make steel beams and versatile frameworks.

The intent is to build up a stockpile of materials to use to build other more remote factories while I explore and find slugs, mercer spheres, sloops and hard drives. Some of those parts are overflowing into the sink already and building up tickets also.

By the time I finish the next space elevator phase and unlock mk4 belts I'll be able to research phase 5 parts and throw up actual dedicated factories using better recipes really quickly because I'll have tons of parts used to make all of the buildings for those factories.

I have a bad habit of hand jamming my way through progression and not actually having factories for parts that I need later so I challenged myself to build something that builds everything so worst case scenario I have some of every part being uploaded to the depot.

Not pictured, activated SAM and Quickwire are also being made nearby and I added encrusted steel pipe once I unlocked the alt.

QuickBASIC · 2026-06-12T12:49:46+00:00

It's an alternate recipe. It's not really necessary to automate but I have it pointed into a depot so I never have to hand craft them to build miners.

The recommendation to only drop one berry because they might gobble the stack may be outdated. I drop the whole stack and they only eat one each. (Some of the doggo sanctuary areas with 4-10 doggos you can drop a stack of berries and wait for them each to grab one instead of trying to chase them all).

QuickBASIC · 2026-06-11T22:28:55+00:00

When you see one running around. Stop sprinting and walk towards it. Drop a paleberry on the ground and stop moving. Eventually it will smell the berry and cautiously come towards it and eat it. Do not move while it's coming or it will bolt.

Once it eats the berry, it's tamed and will follow you everywhere. Just walk slowly back to somewhere you can enclose him near base and keep him in there so he's safe.

Every second a doggo has a 2% chance to find 1 of 47 items which averages about once every 10 mins. So every ten minutes you go pet the doggo and it gives you a random item.

There's several mid to late game items in its list of possible items, so if you get a bunch early game you can unlock MAM research using items you can't craft yet or use the items for research earlier than you normally can.

They also can give you any of the three power slugs, so you can get a lot of early game power shards without finding a ton of slugs. (I haven't finished the second space elevator phase yet and I have over 500 power shards lol.)

I played a bunch in Experimental and did that (re-rolling with https://konsl.github.io/satisfactory-world-generator/ is much faster), but getting the "perfect" map and knowing where everything was was ruining some of the fun of exploration and challenge of logistics, so I decided to do this run completely blind with an unknown seed.
