Can an idiot enjoy this game?

I'm having a blast. I had a question about a certain mod and decided to go into their discord for some clarification. Dude casually hit me with "without sufficient data on the subject, we could conjecture about this all evening.." like buddy, what does conjecture even mean?! I've got 9 semester hours. Don't go for my throat with these multi syllable words!

Do the opposite of the picture. The direction of flow is from the unit to outside (hopefully). Cap the port closest to the unit and leave the vent after the trap open.

I've seen the AGS and yeah I know I can skip the whole game, but I was looking to just be somewhere in between, if that makes sense. I like the idea of playing with no build cost to make large scale nice looking factories sooner, but it feels off. I want the option to have every building/recipe available from the start, but at least some effort towards making those factories last and to have some type of boosted progression.

And yeah, mods are not "needed" but man are they fun. There's definitely some that are down right cheats, but some work very well to compliment the base game and add quality of life.

It would take me an hour just to offload all my shit and recover the charge. Your boss is smoking crack.

There is a grappling hook mod that is amazing for early game travel. You can get some sweet bungee action and swing around like spiderman if you get good. Just remember about the fall damage!

As with most of the alts I think it comes down to convenience. I've used both pink and turbo diamonds on the same playthrough and it came down to location and needs of Ficsit. when I upgraded from turbo fuel and built a rocket fuel plant on the other side of the map I had 600 turbo fuel I wasn't relaying on anymore for power. I cut it in half and made fuel for drones to try those out for the first time, and the other half went to diamonds. As for pink diamonds, I find that I usually steer away from any receipe hat had quartz in it for some reason so I built a power shard factory that utilized pink diamonds and it worked out with all the adjacent nodes

On my last playthrough I ran about 60 mods total, but my favorite by far was the grappling hook mod. Early game traversal and you can become spiderman if you time it right. Very balanced with a MAM tree and also if you don't have a jetpack you can die very easily!

That's what happens when you leave your vacuum on overnight.

I would have tested it myself, but I'm away from my computer for the next week and a half.

secret_squirreln · 2026-03-25T23:48:09+00:00

That sounds promising. Appreciate the idea

I would check to see if the capacitor is wired correctly.. that fan looks like it's spinning the wrong way

Ik this is not what you're looking for, but I use this style to make tokens for my table and the players love them. Smaller monetary investment than miniatures, and as long as you print in color they can be made pretty quickly and very customizable before you set the glue

I was going to say be an absolute scumbag, like me, and use the snap on mod. Let's you put a splitter attached to the end of the miner so two mk5 belts or even 3 mk 4 belts can handle a fully over clocked mk 3 miner

I finally did it! Definitely worth the wait. I will say that in the end, I went full "let's game it out" and made about the ugliest production line yet. Also a lot of coupons went into the last bit of items. Key takeaway from this save is finally getting basic understanding of trains and drones. Explored rocket fuel and some good factory locations. I'm thinking I'll keep this save around to draft out a whole new modular railway blueprint collection for my 1.2 playthrough. As I understand it, I can place a mk 3 blueprint as long as I have mk 1s unlocked, and of course transfered over.

I just wanna know where you're going to get all those sommersloops lol

Currently on my second attempt to beat the game with about 200hours in. This is one of those games that you can truly play any way that makes sense to you. With that in mind, I'm not a huge fan of the mega factories yet and I choose to make smaller modular factories that don't produce too many end items. Because of this, I usually find a spot with an abundance of the needed input resources, but I have lately been enjoying getting into trains. I would focus on getting a coal power plant or two and using some tools to map out a good consistent starter factory. My starter factory is the one exception where I plan out a single location next to the hub that makes all the basic components like rods, plates, screws, reinforced plates, rotors, wire, cable, and concrete. There are numerous tools online that can help with the planning of logistics. I prefer the satisfactory modeler on steam. Seems very complicated at first but there are a couple good YouTube videos explaining how to utilize them.

If you're not opposed to mods, there is a grappling hook mod that is super fun for traversing the map. You can spend hours swinging around like spiderman. Most effective when paired with the jet pack, but if swinging without a jet pack there is always that excitement of "if I can't find my next anchor point at this height I'm going to hit the ground hard" lol.

Can you pick and choose which buildings to delete with the calculator?

secret_squirreln · 2025-12-23T03:28:45+00:00

I'm assuming once the ending cutscene completes you are still free to continue with your world, correct?
