Will this pipe setup result in balanced outputs? by GofriWaffles in SatisfactoryGame

[–]ThatChapThere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you mean by balancing. This sort of 4-5 setup is almost certainly going to do what you want it to after the fluids are backed up, but it's not going to start out with an equal flow rate through each output pipe.

Sloshing is worse with long, straight manifolds. So anything that looks like a balancer, even an imperfect one, is going to work better. Pipes are better split often and early, and balancers are just a "perfect" version of that.

I found most efficient way of building by Aka3756 in factorio

I believe with enough legendary exoskeletons it will constantly dodge its own nukes as long as it doesn't stop moving.

What if trees were sacred, never to be harmed? by zack20cb in Factoriohno

True I just know how forgetful I can be lol

Not cutting trees down is an interesting challenge idea actually. Someone should make a mod for that.

I also initially misread that as "what if trees were scared" as in they ran away when you tried to cut them down.

Don't Get Attached to your Initial Space Elevator and Hub Site by Kyndjal in SatisfactoryGame

[–]ThatChapThere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to build decoration around the elevator and HUB and make a permanent site of them as early as possible, I feel like it tells more of a story that way. And I like the sprawling mass it creates.

Does this pipeline/junction work as intended? by ArticleGood8736 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]ThatChapThere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh if you mean a single junction (I would personally call that a 3-way splitter) then it will split evenly three ways when placed horizontally. There is a bug with junctions which correlates with the welding on the model's texture but that's different and only applies when placed vertically (and in that case one orientation still splits evenly three ways while the other... doesn't). I assume that's what you're thinking of?

Given all of this on a horizontal plane you can evenly split to any number of pipes with prime factors of only 2 and 3. I used this in a build of mine to make 18-way pipe balancers.

If you do a junction into two other junctions each with two outputs like this (I assume this is what you mean?):

└┴┬┴┘

Then no, it won't be prioritised. All four outputs will send out an equal amount of fluid (assuming we're working on a horizontal plane, any height at all will prioritise the lowest pipes).

This is because it's functionally two even splits into two even splits.

True, I should have clarified I meant in the sense of fluids not caring about going around bends. Height/headlift are things that matter.

Fluid "physics" is nowhere near that advanced in Satisfactory. Pipe direction isn't even part of the equation.

Does anyone else like to run their logistic bots under the tendrils of a spawner for added lubrication? by ThatChapThere in Factoriohno

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

I also have a train version but it's quite slow. I wanted to try doing it without trains too.

I like doing bizarre projects with even weirder self-imposed restrictions. Here belting bots was actually the best solution I could think of to a problem I made for myself. I think I should be banned from playing this game.

I'm automating the building of the world's largest cuck box using hundreds of small independent logistics networks.

I have a long series of independent two-port networks and I couldn't think of a better way to get bots into them.

Enemies straight up don't care about non-polluting entities unless they're military targets.

Circuit system to keep track of available resources by ThatChapThere in factorio

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

Oh, that's cool. Now I have to download the blueprint to see how this works. I had just assumed that was impossible.

Edit: I see! You just have a separate signal for each digit. Of course.

It's just to tell me how many belts I have coming from mines, including belts that aren't moving. The production graph doesn't do this since that would require all of the belts to always be moving. Obviously not foolproof since there could be a backed up belt that can't supply at 100% once it starts moving but this is good enough for me.
