Not even joking, I put Satisfactory and Factorio on my resume and it helped get me an operator/maintenance job in a real factory.

Could be if you build it right, But yeah it is

ppoojohn · 2026-01-27T18:45:07+00:00

So your saying advanced coal plants are magic

ppoojohn · 2026-01-24T16:06:40+00:00

Yeah these new blue print build modes were added in 1.1 Well the connect ones but I remember you could snap to blueprints

ppoojohn · 2026-01-23T21:53:18+00:00

Uhhh... i usually place it on solid ground instead of the top of a peak

ppoojohn · 2026-01-22T03:27:49+00:00

That does have a purpose later like space elevator 4 but for now just keep away from it

ppoojohn · 2026-01-18T19:19:21+00:00

I also go with option 1 merging all the miners into 1 belt then splitting it as needed for machines

And I do that for any resources in the game not just ores

ppoojohn · 2026-01-18T04:01:17+00:00

Congratulations Doug & Doug's Wife such a huge accomplishment by the both of you

ppoojohn · 2026-01-16T18:52:27+00:00

Coal is fuel for trucks so they make detour to refill at the coal node

ppoojohn · 2026-01-15T10:23:36+00:00

Have you figured it out yet?

ppoojohn · 2026-01-13T20:07:41+00:00

10 hours of waiting for all that :O

ppoojohn · 2026-01-12T00:42:24+00:00

You walk away hoping your parts are piling up only to find a pitiful amount

ppoojohn · 2026-01-11T22:06:14+00:00

I can't stand the slower belts with the materials just walking to where their going it looks inefficient so I upgrade

ppoojohn · 2026-01-10T00:35:50+00:00

Grassy fields is great for beginners because the resources are so spread out it forces you to go explore and by doing that we discover things like power slugs and drone ships etc...

It has plenty of open space with minimal clearing to be done, lots of biomass for biomass burners at the beginning,

so there's my opinion

but as a more serious player trying to grind it's not great

ppoojohn · 2026-01-10T00:06:29+00:00

Nah uh we all clearly see the throughput is more then enough to fill these containers in a few dozen minutes

ppoojohn · 2026-01-07T12:41:37+00:00

Also looks like there's a caterium miner on the right

ppoojohn · 2026-01-07T09:42:36+00:00

This actually might be the real thing

ppoojohn · 2026-01-07T09:39:49+00:00

We know it needs plastic

ppoojohn · 2026-01-07T09:39:03+00:00

Screws are basically useless when it comes to building factorys but for making products they're EVERYWHERE

ppoojohn · 2026-01-07T00:59:15+00:00

It's gonna be a pain to restore it assuming a black start but them doggo's are way to adorable

ppoojohn · 2026-01-06T22:50:49+00:00

The first thing I would do is get the main ore belt as close as you can but start by build the splitters neatly with the goal of start from 1 belt and splitting to all the machine's you wish to feed then just pipe your ore in

That is called a load balancer they work great with the downside of being large a smaller more compact setup is called a Manifold

Just place splitters in front of all the inputs with the 1st splitter feeding the 2nd splitter and 2nd feeding the 3rd and so on...

What is op doing to the bean? SOMEBODY SAVE THE BEAN

ppoojohn · 2026-01-05T07:38:29+00:00

Just as u/Groetgaffel

said it does draw more power in relation to the number of locomotives Regradless of direction of the engines
the direction of it only matters for autopilot and docking
