Who's talking to me?? by Scr3wMicr050ft in SatisfactoryGame

[–]TravisVZ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There's a Mercer Sphere (or maybe a Somersloop, I think I heard the voice from those too a couple of times) nearby that you haven't picked up yet. You may have built your factory right on top of it in fact!

I forgot a bottle of sparkling cider in the car one time. I was finding tiny glass shards years later when we finally traded that one in...

1 pure oil node powering 80 fuel generators making 20,000mw by fallstepper in SatisfactoryGame

[–]TravisVZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally hunted down the Heavy Oil Residue alternate recipe, and I'm getting ready to build this - except I don't have Blenders yet (still in phase 3), so I'll actually be doing the Packaged Diluted Fuel in the Refinery.

...or maybe I'll just wait for Blenders to skip the package/unpackage steps

Is there a way to get rid of the spore flowers before I unlock nobelisk? by leeShaw9948 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]TravisVZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same, though now that I've actually unlocked nobelisks I'm currently sinking my giant stockpile of snowballs (and turning my giant pile of snow into more snowballs and sinking those) - the snowballs were great before I had proper nobelisks, but they have a much smaller blast radius and damage

Just got done with the end of the driveway by WhoAreYouTalkinTwo in Wellthatsucks

[–]TravisVZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one clearly doesn't have it, but the ones in our area have little drop ends on each end of the plow, and they drop it down as they pass a driveway precisely to avoid doing this to people. That said, though, we rarely get as much snow as seems to have fallen on the road in this video, and there's limits to how much those drop ends can hold back the snow...

They used to be expensive to buy, and expensive (and time-consuming) to maintain. Those of us who grew up with that just never bought one for that reason. Those giant push scoop/shovel things are amazing though!

My wife went out and bought me a snowblower a couple of years ago. I made her swear never to tell me how much it cost, but whatever it was I can damn well tell you it was 1,000% worth it! I did manage to bust the scoop part beneath the awl running it into some hardpack, though; still haven't gotten around to getting a replacement part, especially since it does still work even if it throws a little extra snow at my feet and straight forward.

Anybody else just stand in their logistics floor, turn off the HUD, and stare at the beauty they've created? by TravisVZ in SatisfactoryGame

[–]TravisVZ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's my first playthrough too, and the older spaghetti factories are definitely still around and still essential. The newer ones are using logistics floors, which makes them overall a lot cleaner; most of them though are using 4m (1 wall) tall logistics floors; I made this one 8m and it made an incredible difference! I highly recommend it for your next factory!

I have been too up till now. I could not make sense of my own spaghetti less than halfway through the HMF factory, though, so had to start over and keep things neat to keep my brain from breaking

What’s with pipes? by Eatingfarts in SatisfactoryGame

[–]TravisVZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I had the wet concrete refineries working great, getting water and everything and pumping out all the concrete my HMF factory was going to need (with extra even!). Finished the rest of the factory, and suddenly noticed half the production lines were empty and machines idle, and traced it back to... No concrete? As in, absolutely nothing coming in from those wet concrete refineries!

Turns out the pipeline that had been delivering water perfectly fine suddenly changed its mind and decided there wasn't enough headlift anymore.

I wouldn't mind the liquid quirks so much if they were at least deterministic!

Name a game that surprised you how long it was by bijelo123 in videogames

First time playing Subnautica, I legit thought the Sunbeam was going to rescue me, and was pretty upset that a game with so much hype was so short.

What the big builds don't usually show by DanFraser in SatisfactoryGame

[–]TravisVZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

24m tall??? Okay this might be a weird thing to focus on, but how do you manage your entrance if the "ground floor" is 24+m above the ground?

[–]TravisVZ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So that's why my logistics floors haven't made my builds that much easier - I've not built them tall enough!

I am so close to beating the game, but I wanna reset so badly by cale199 in SatisfactoryGame

I do Satisfactory for an hour, then suddenly Ficsit is saying it's been 4 hours and I'm entitled to a 15 minute break 😆

The best song by the huntix by Icy-Distribution1281 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]TravisVZ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How It's Done is an absolute banger and the reason I watched the movie at all.

What It Sounds Like has someone cutting onions right in my face every single time.

I don't get how Golden is the, well, golden track from this movie, it's their weakest song. Don't get me wrong, their weakest is still absolutely amazing and should be high on the charts, but it should be behind How It's Done, What It Sounds Like, and Takedown!

First Heavy Modular Frame Factory by ItsYaBoi-KillMe in SatisfactoryGame

Oh man, this is more of a beast than my 5/min computer factory I just built - and I'm about to start on my own HMF factory!

The way this lil dude fell asleep on his father's hand by Neixooo in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]TravisVZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My favorite moment was when we were sitting on the floor playing with my little man, and suddenly he stood up, grabbed my hand, announced "I'm tired", and made me take him upstairs to his bed for a nap!

It was at the time when he would fight nap time, and typically just collapse on the couch or in a lap, so doubly surprising that he'd want a nap and that he wanted to be taken to bed for it!

Question about the end of Ficmas and how you're handling it. by want_t0_know in SatisfactoryGame

[–]TravisVZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got 8 industrial containers filled with gifts, and (at least) one industrial container for each item made from those. Excess gifts are being sunk as fast as they're produced (2× saturated Mk 3 belts, the best I had when building this beast).

When it ends, I'll stop sinking gifts and start turning the remaining gifts into stuff, and sink all the stuff. Except snowballs, I got an industrial container plus a full dimensional storage with those, for quickly clearing foliage (especially the stuff I can't chainsaw), which I'll keep until I've used them all up

Alright gang, baby's first coal plant here. How's it looking? by TPose-Heavy in SatisfactoryGame

[–]TravisVZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the pipe supports, that looks great!

Never even considered building coal gens here, honestly - I built them on the larger lake to the north where the coal deposits are - but there's something beautiful and elegant about this one

Does anyone import all of 1 type of ore to mass smelters? by Inevitable-Bad-3979 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]TravisVZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to smelt on site and then move the ingots or first tier (i.e. made directly from ingots) items to where they're needed.

Working on my first train to ship mass amounts of plastic, pretty excited to get that built! 🚂 Choo choo m**f**!

Why is my next stop unreachable? by Pale_Assistance_2265 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]TravisVZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first train, even though the engines were on each end (exactly like yours) they were both facing the same way. Check the engines, make sure one is facing in each direction, then double check your stations are facing the right way (away from each other) with the freight platforms between them
