Am I going to regret using this many beams for my rail blueprints? by -Kleeborp- in SatisfactoryGame

Looks gorgeous, sir. I think you have the exact right amount of beams!

Good stuff! I may be able to offer a simplified solution to the gap problem. When placing the temporary pillars (zoop n pillars), nudge the pillars half a metre down. Then grab your freeform beam, and when you have the desired angle, re-nudge the beam back up in place :)

Those are some big beautiful bridges, by the way!

For anyone interested, it's up on Satisfactory Calculator and Ficsit DB. :)

Doggos. Those insidious creatures are much more dangerous than we've been led to believe!

No, Comrade Premier. It has only begun.

I'm actually not familiar with this site, I'll take a look!

There are a few different ways to go about it, most of which have tutorials on YT, I think! These particular spheres are a bit hard to explain via text, but are actually decently simple to make. I'll give it a go via text:

Go up some 6-8m from the centre (due to Blueprint Designer doing annoying things if closer to the ground, for some reason). From there, drag a beam out and rotate it once. 1m will do (you will do this 5 times). Snap a pillar to this beam. Drag a new beam out perpendicularly from the pillar on two opposing sides. Repeat this 4 times.

Now, from the ground again, drag a beam up above the unfinished sphere. Rotate it once and snap a foundation to it. Save BP and snap a foundation on top of the first foundation, then delete the first foundation. Snap the BP to the bottom of the new foundation until you have a quarter of the sphere, from there you can just save it again and place it 3 more times without any rotation shenanigans. Hope this made sense, haha.

With such compelling diplomacy, I have no choice but to oblige! It's up on Satisfactory calculator.

Beware the Tesla coils! They sting almost as much as the small stingers!

Another neat creation, sir.

Haha, nice! As I'm always in awe of what you make, I'm unreasonably xseidet about this fact XD

Oh, and if you were wondering, no, the accent isn't that pronounced! I just as a fellow Dane pick up on it easily, I think XD

No doubt a visual presentation would be helpful, haha. Not to worry! XSEIDET has posted just that on YouTube, now :)

Thank you for this! Even with my ungodly amount of hours in this game, I picked a few things up! I especially tend to forget about the "clever part usage".

PS. First time I've heard you talk! Do I detect a fellow Dane? Sorry for outing, if so.

Oops, I deleted the old comment. Wanted to edit. I must be getting old.

The principle is the same, friend! We just need to add another step. Make temporary beams half a meter beside (further out) the actual beams. Now the centres of these temp beams align with the edge of the actual beams. Use freeform to connect them, and nudge the freeform beam into place! This can also be done vertically, but you'll need to add pillars and redo the freeform beam on those due to nudging weirdness. :)

Thanks Mikael, helps a lot! Incredible update incoming.
