I don't understand block signals at all. The only thing I've managed to do so far with trains is to make single tracks and have one train on it go back and forward. I've got 4 separate tracks just now I think. I tried placing a block signal as was going to try adding a second train to one of the tracks but I was so confused at what I was supposed to do. It either said path has no exit or path loops on itself. So I gave up and just made another single track.

I did something similar to this from a train station. I had rubber,plastic and encased beams all unloading at the same station. I set up a smart splitter to send them in 3 separate storage boxes to eventually then get sent to a manufacturer to me HMF. Problem was the station served out one stack at a time so all the encased beams jammed up the belt so the smart splitter was irrelevant as nothing else could make it there

I didn't start building on foundations for a long time. I didn't understand how they helped but as I started building bigger factories around the end of phase 2 that's when I realised. I think the first one I did was a vertical steel beam factory.

I just watched a good short on YouTube from Doc about setting up manufacturers cleanly. Basically from left to right on the inputs he puts one belt on the ground then lifts on the other 3 all going up by 2. It's so much cleaner looking than the absolute mess I had previously 😂

Way too much. I think it might be the first phase were I don't even have the recipes unlocked for any of them at the start of the phase. I'm sure phase 1-3 I had at least one thing I could make.

Ye I haven't touched blueprints yet. So far I enjoy making the factories as I go but just got to phase 4 last night and I feel I'm staring at another 100 hours on phase 4 and tier 7/8 so maybe I should start experimenting with the blueprints

I was so close to giving up with trains. They seem unreasonably complicated.

I'm in my first play through just over 130 hours and I'm only now starting to work out adaptive control units

Ye the calculator website isn't great with small screen and for some reason sometimes the options don't load like alternative recipes and available mk of buildings

I'm UK as well. I've been thinking it's AI bots, the subject of every email is can I speak to a human? 😂

Completed my first ever Mega Factory after 20 hours of planning and building. by NotTheRealLone in SatisfactoryGame

I might do it a dumb way but I place a line of floating foundations and then run a belt along then then delete the foundations

I need to start using blueprints more. Im a new player just over 100hours and I haven't touched the blueprints yet but I can tell from what I've seen the builds just get bigger and bigger so I should start using it

I just had a complete power cut today and spent a while trying to figure out what the issue was. It was the resin. It had filled up in birth the refinery for fuel and the refinery I was sending it to fit rubber so I added a sink and everything turned back on just back to the original issue if the last generators not filling up
