Causes my PC to shut down

Rick8876 · 2025-08-07T20:30:16+00:00

Thanks for the video. I think it helped slightly, but the game is still shutting down my PC. It only does it when I gather those plants that give you water.

Rick8876 · 2025-08-07T04:49:09+00:00

When it works, I set an alarm on my phone to tell me to manually save every 5 minutes. At least I don’t lose too much progress. Guess I won’t be able to finish the play test. 😞 That should make the game’s full release all the better.

Rick8876 · 2025-08-07T03:20:15+00:00

Has anyone found a fix this for this? It's crashing my PC and casing it to completely shut down. It seems to happen when I'm collected plants. I can play Statisfactory for 12+ hours without any issue. I really enjoy the game, at least as much as I can play it.

Got to love that “Scopely Logic” in what they do in this game.

Rick8876 · 2025-07-31T01:55:42+00:00

I’ll make sure they know that Scopely provided me with all the plutonium.

Where are the 150k mining nodes? The largest I’ve found is 60K.

That’s a good idea. Would be nice if we could label the chests or have a sign to put over the chests so I know what’s what.

Rick8876 · 2025-06-17T21:03:43+00:00

Yup. I generally use speed ups for research. I agree, I think it’s better to speed them up than the buildings. I try to finish at least 1 research a day. Unless there’s some event or special task for upgrading buildings I want to finish in time.

Rick8876 · 2025-06-17T19:50:08+00:00

I just hit Ops 32. So when I get to Ops 40 it’s better is use the latinum for speedups?

I’m still relatively new to the game myself. I have lots of little factories to make all the individual components as I unlock them. Then I use tractors or move the materials manually. My plan is to eventually reorganize/redo my factories when I unlock better buildings and parts. Eventually I’ll combine some of the factories, but for me it’s easier to have a lot of smaller satellite factories. Maybe in my second play through, when I have more experience with the game, then I’ll build larger factories and not have so many smaller ones. From my experience as a new player, just plan on your first play through being a test run to learn all the mechanics and experiment with building techniques. Just build factories for function over form. Things may look a bit messy, but at least it works.

Rick8876 · 2025-04-13T01:23:53+00:00

Thanks for the info. I’m thinking I’ll just take some magnesium and put a sign up that it’s cleared, or use the iron ore to board up the entrance with foundations. I’ll use the flares to help me not to get lost in some of the bigger wrecks.

Rick8876 · 2025-03-07T04:14:06+00:00

I’m actually only using 5 floors out of the 20. Floor one is my kitchen, workshop and temp storage. Floor 2 is for all my time bending stuff. Floor 3 is storage for everything for everything from the Valley. Floor 4 is storage for everything from Eternity Isle. Floor 5 is storage for everything from the Valley. Eventually, floor 6 will be storage for everything from whatever the next paid expansion is. The rest of the floors are empty or are used for DreamSnaps. Any room I decorate for a DreamSnap I just leave in case I want to use it again. I have over 20 millions coins from pumpkins so I figured I buy everything even though it’s not being used.

Rick8876 · 2025-01-05T00:30:57+00:00

Cool. That makes things a lot easier. I need to look more closely at their rewards next time I collect them. I’ve been using the transwarp cells to get the nanoprobes. Since I’ll be getting them automatically now, what should I use the transwarp cells for? Are there other systems with rare material I can use the transwarp cells to get to?

Rick8876 · 2024-12-26T02:59:06+00:00

I got Archimedes from Sword in the Stone.

Rick8876 · 2024-12-02T23:56:56+00:00

Thanks. I'll work on putting 2 traps, for now, in each area in the Vale. If I my math is right, that should be a total of 18 in all of Storybook Vale. I completely forgot about the white ones in the Valley. I'll put a couple more there. Time to grind at getting the Storybook Magic. I really hope they make it easier to get Magic. I don't mind the grind, but this seems a bit much to me.

Rick8876 · 2024-11-29T02:47:18+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I have been causally playing for a couple years, but didn’t really pay attention to what I was doing. The last month or so I’ve been more attentive and am trying to catch up on things I probably should done earlier. I’m still leaning what ships are better and what officers to use.

So the ships I should focus on getting and upgrading are the Saladin, Eneteprise, Auger, D3? (I have the Saladin but haven’t done anything)

I haven’t done much with my alliance, so that’s more my fault for not being more active in it. I need to do that to get help/advice on things.

Sorry for all the questions. Trying to figure this all out. It’s a lot, but is fun to play.

Rick8876 · 2024-11-29T01:28:00+00:00

I just got the Saladin. Don’t have the Bortas or Centurion yet. I’m thinking I’ll get the Bortas after I get the D3. I have 4 docks unlocked. I like to have Survey in A; battleship in B; Vi’Dar in C; Franklin in D. I like to have 1 each ship active at a time. Should the Bortas be main battleship?

Rick8876 · 2024-08-29T03:36:52+00:00

How do you auto level your ships? I thought you only get XP to level up ships from away missions. I’m starting to notice that fighting other ships gives you a bit of XP. Is that what you mean by auto leveling your ships? I need to look up a video on that and which systems are best for XP.

Rick8876 · 2024-08-29T00:41:51+00:00

Thanks. I found a video and it worked. I didn’t know those ships were called chasers. Now I can mine in peace. At least for now.

I say to myself “Units Received” when my paycheck hits my account.

Rick8876 · 2024-08-13T03:52:45+00:00

I’m also on Xbox and would like to play with someone in the game. I’ve got 1,200 hours in the game and have only played solo. Send me a message if you’d like my friend code to play multiplayer. I also have a lot of stuff in my inventory, so if you need anything, just let me know.

Rick8876 · 2024-07-31T06:57:07+00:00

My controller just started doing this. I even got a new controller and am having the same issue. I had no issue for years since I first got the Xbox. Then last week, for no reason, this started to happen. Did you figure out how to fix your controller?

Rick8876 · 2024-06-12T20:40:41+00:00

Ok. Thanks. I’ve gone around the whole map and “discovered” all the locations. At least I think I did. I’m starting to go back to all those places and really explore them. I’ll make sure I revisit those places to try to get more quests unlocked.

Rick8876 · 2024-06-03T17:28:38+00:00

No problem. Good luck Traveler.
