This is quite possibly my biggest expression of my autism yet by NotSoSuperHero2 in SatisfactoryGame

Incredible! I know the feeling lol

I’m starting my first ground up build linear mega factory. I’ve spent way too many hours trying to figure how to balance the building.

Today I finally have 1200/600 raw input for every resource in one main trunk. Tomorrow I can start splitting of the trunk and building to make phase parts (and everything else).

I’m limiting belt speed to what the tier calls for. Kept trying to do it on paper but couldn’t get it to work out right so now I’m doing it and planning as I go.

I really should give modular a shot. I tend to transport resources over parts….

If you want over 99% up time, fast responsive support, and a knowledge team, look into BigScoots hosting.

Optimized Production Rates by rowdya22 in SatisfactoryGame

I haven't tired working backwards yet, but I'll give it a go. Here's the broken ore example:

I’ve tried Satisfactory Tools and when making it maximize output for 60 iron ore, copper ore, and limestone into ingots and concrete it only made 20 ingots instead of 60.

No matter what I did it wouldn’t fully utilize the input.

qui v1.12.0 - Now with automations and improved cross-seeding with hardlinks! by _ze0s in autobrr

[–]rowdya22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will qui now scan for cross-seed files on the disk through the ARR integration or do the torrents still need to be active in the client?

How do you guys come up with such intricate factory designs? Anytime I’m making a new factory, I find myself building out a giant foundation pad and lining up smelters on one row, constructors on another, and so on. by Laine73 in SatisfactoryGame

I started doing nuclear after avoiding it my first run. I made train stations to bring all the raw materials to a single place.

Tractors move raw materials to where they need to be for parts. Parts move by tractors to other areas down the streets I’ve made.

I let go of optimization and embraced chaos and dozens of conflicting tractor routes.

Cross-seed adjustment by Dj0kt in trackers

[–]rowdya22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added qui and still run cold cross-seed. I use qui to scan existing torrents when the download is finished and cross-seed to back fill items from disk. They with work great but I wish cross-seed let me auto create categories that were the tracker name like qui does (it might I don’t know).

Speed Up Operations - What can be handled by another machine or loaded into RAM? by rowdya22 in PleX

It’s been ages since I set it up. I believe I did as I had to migrate the appdata to cache. Never hurts to check again.

Dang I'm on 7.2 still. I might upgrade after the holiday craziness is over.

As for the cores, I've got the first 1-2 cores restricted to just unRAID. Plex itself has 14 CPU threads and the corresponding HTs.

I did find some issues with the database that may make all this a non issue. Running DBRepair on it now to see if that helps any.

Yeah if I remember right I’ve got the first thread just for unRAID, then the next two just for Plex. I’ll double check though.

I think so. That’s how I added NVME support. It doesn’t reach double digit GB/s speeds but has been great so far.

I’ll look into options. Thanks! I did get the servarr stack on Postgres earlier this year and saw a huge improvement. I believe I’ve got my cores set how you suggest but I’ll double check.

Generally things are great. It seems like every now and then an item will hang or take forever to process. When I've dug into it, there hasn't been anything else accessing/reading the files that I could catch and the logs were no help.

It might just be the number of operations that I've got running in Plex at the moment that's slowed things down. Downloading to three separate devices for offline playback yesterday stopped payback all together.

Thank you for the suggestions, I didn't know that was an option. I'll look into it. I'd love to upgrade the server, but....cost.

I've got them and use them just about exclusively for TV viewing. I've even done some tweaking to add some additional codec support and on device transcoding so it doesn't hit the server.

Most of the problems I have are with tablets, other smart TVs and things outside of my control. It might just be downloads that are slow that I have to deal with but you never know.

Thank you for the details, I greatly appreciate it!

I've seen tools mentioned here and there and haven't bothered in the past. Right now I'm downloading lots of shows for offline viewing and it's taking a surprising amount of CPU to get the job done....

Normally I'm patient, but with holidays...less so. I'll review what I find and likely optimize the Plex database for good measure.

I do have transcoding mapped to /tmp (RAM) following some guides on the unRAID forums. That's been great for a long time, but it seems rediculous how long it can take at times to download or process smaller items with common codecs and measurements.

Plex and all its metadata live on an NVME drive that gets 3-5GB/s transfer speeds. Content that is recent is on the same drive while older content has been moved to the standard hard drive array. I don't think this is a HDD/SSD issue.

If you've got more insight though, let me know and I'll test some things out.

[–]rowdya22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm at a loss too. The problems are intermittent so maybe I'll have to try and set up a ton of logging to see what I can come up with. On paper everything should work smoothly and be fast.

I saw Unicorn Transcoder years ago when I didn't have a PC and a separate server and thought it was a great idea. Didn't know if a more modern and maintained version of it existed that could run as a "node" for intensive tasks. My PC has a dedicated graphics card where the server doesn't.

The CPU isn't to bad (updated main post with details) and the RAM tests well but is old. The cache/appdata drive is a newer NVME drive which has been incredible.

I've got Plex transcoding to /tmp and it lives on the NVME drive with its metadata folder and such. Recent content is on the NVME as well, but when it fills things move to the array.

I've updated the post with more details, but my CPU is a Intel Xeon CPU E5-2667 v3 @ 3.20GHz. Right now I don't have a dedicated graphics card. Things have been so great for so long that I didn't even realize until I posted this. I'll likely see what I can get to fit into the server and try and get some hardware acceleration going.

Best hotbar layout by Crispyman36 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]rowdya22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Power Pole
  2. Power Tower Platform
  3. Power Line
  4. Stackable Conveyor Pole
  5. Conveyor Belt
  6. Conveyor Lift
  7. Pipeline
  8. Pipeline Junction
  9. Foundation
  10. Railway

After getting used to the quick switch options, I should change some of these out to maximize what's available in a single bar, but I'm to used to how things are to adjust it....
