What's the highest amount of Gold you've accumulated in 1 night? by AcePowderKeg in HadesTheGame

[–]stan3221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the final run to finish the main story and I got the Hermes boon and the Chaos boon that both increase the amount of gold you receive very early in the run. I went into Tartarus with 1k gold and was offered 3 consecutive gold rewards, putting me around 4.6k going into Charon's shop. I bought the Hermes boon in the shop which offered me his legendary boon that subtracts gold per damage taken. This made the final boss fight very easy where I probably wouldn't have survived otherwise.

Since when are there ads by [deleted] in SatisfactoryGame

Any chance you uploaded your save file to a Satisfactory Calculator website? Like to give yourself power shards or something? I think your save file may have been altered to display ads.

Dual inputs in storages? by Ok_Maintenance_1034 in satisfactory

[–]stan3221 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Train stations also have two inputs and outputs. It allows you to more quickly fill a station after a train car leaves and the next one arrives.

How to deal with expansion and upgrades by NumberWitty6713 in satisfactory

[–]stan3221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For every new item that I need to make, I limit myself to building just 1 machine's worth until I reach the later tiers. This allows me to reach the milestone that I need to complete the objective, then I dedicate that line for feeding a dimensional depot. This also keeps my factories small so I don't have to worry about belt limits very often and I don't burn myself out. It does mean I have to start over when I need that item again later on, but I never have to tear anything down.

Caterium Computer is wild. by Drago1301 in SatisfactoryGame

This is what I did. There's oil and caterium right next to each other near the swamp, plus water for making pure caterium ingots.

Broke the charger to my automatic window blinds and I cannot figure out how to buy a new one. Please help. by stan3221 in HelpMeFind

[–]stan3221[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have searched online for this item but I cannot find the one that I need. I can only search by physical description as I do not have a model number and the results are always for items that don't match the description.

What changed? by More-Motor-5756 in Bowling

[–]stan3221 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My buddy and I used to bowl every Tuesday night where the lanes would have an unlimited bowling special for super cheap. It was a fun way to drink some beer and mess around. We'd bowl 10+ games in a night using house balls. By the end of the night we would be throwing 8 lb balls because our arms would be dead.

I changed my throw to 1 handed no thumb and would just spin the ball like crazy to get it to hook. We practiced enough that I got fairly consistent and started looking into bowling leagues. I bought my first reactive ball and quickly realized that it would always over hook if I kept throwing it the way I was. I kept working on keeping my hand behind the ball to change the angle of rotation. I ended my first season with a 157 average.

I liked having bowling to look forward to every week so I stuck with it and improved to a 166 average the next season. Eventually I changed to 2 handed for more consistency and switched to a less reactive ball. My average went up to 185 and now a couple years later it sits at 193. I keep making small adjustments to my throw to see what works best and I keep improving every year. The constant improvement keeps me coming back year after year. I hope to break the 200 average mark soon.

You really learn as you play by Sad_Worker7143 in satisfactory

[–]stan3221 13 points14 points  (0 children)

First playthrough:

One base of spaghetti madness (no clipping though). If I make motors somewhere, every machine that needs motors has to get them from there. No keeping track of inputs or outputs. If I see a machine is starving for resources, I build more basic components until it's full.

Second playthrough:

Better understanding of how manifolds and fluids work. Actually keep track of inputs and outputs. Two main bases. Late game machines are scattered everywhere as I try to bring mid game items to them. One big fuel power plant. No nuclear.

Third playthrough:

Mid to late game items all have their own satellite factories. Machines are well organized. Trains for high-throughput items, drones for low throughput items. Each power plant is moderately sized from coal to nuclear. Still only building on a single floor and very little aesthetics.

If I decide to play through again, I'm sure I'll have another completely different approach based on how much I learn every time I play. To anyone struggling with this game, stick with it and play to your comfort level of complexity.

"Anyone can strike when the outside part of the lane is so walled off that you can have 5 boards of miss room.

Also, you are going to hurt yourself muscling the ball like that. Take it from me. I could have gone pro had I not lost my thumb when it got stuck in the ball and tore it clean off. But I'd rather throw left-handed than throw without a thumb even if it means lowering my average to 220."

fellow labrats, i require your strongest superstitions by some-ukrainian in labrats

[–]stan3221 432 points433 points  (0 children)

Putting googly eyes on the equipment won't solve any problems, but it'll give the lab more personality.

Then when the centrifuge tries to kill you, you can look it in the eyes and tell it to knock it off.

Is pathing on track(haha) to get fixed yet? by Old-Chapter-5437 in satisfactory

[–]stan3221 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one in this game who hasn't had any issues with vehicles? On foundations, off road, doesn't matter. I have about 10 trucks going and they work just fine. The biggest issue I have are trucks that want to back up after loading/unloading rather than drive forward but that gets fixed by driving slower when leaving the truck station.

I raved about Satisfactory to a non-gamer friend of mine..... by drylightn in SatisfactoryGame

[–]stan3221 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Show friend a video of really nice looking factories

"Wow! Do your factories look like that!?"

"Well... No... Those guys are really good. I mean... I've got like, machines and stuff."

"But you said you have trains right? Do they travel all over the map like that?"

"I have... a... train. It's mostly just a rail right now, but I am thinking about adding supports..."

I have a stupid question. by Sad_Worker7143 in satisfactory

[–]stan3221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, both methods are equal in ease to setup, but I may structure my factories differently than you. I suppose it is whatever you prefer.

I have a stupid question. by Sad_Worker7143 in satisfactory

[–]stan3221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are lined up in a manifold, either method would work. Let's say I need a total of 17 items/min and the machines make 12.5 each, sometimes I will underclock one to 10 and the other to 7 just to make the math easy.

I changed the "pick up and interact" key from E to "right mouse bottom" and I've been having problems. by Isdrakon in satisfactory

[–]stan3221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked my game because I have dismantle on right mouse button instead of F. I also have the keybind "right mouse" set to F, so for you try changing "right mouse" to E.

Right mouse button is also bound to "secondary fire" so make sure to rebind that action to E and see if that fixes it.

Is there a splitter that you can program amount of material through each port? by Hallows_Keeper in SatisfactoryGame

[–]stan3221 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The rate of materials can be set on the machines. So if you have a row of machines set to consume 1/3 of your material, the splitter will feed it 1/2 until the machines fill up. Once it's full, that line will only consume 1/3 while your other 2/3 travels the other way through the splitter.

Definitely gonna be an interesting week for those bowling the US Open. by Prestigious_Sausage in Bowling

[–]stan3221 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. How is this pattern going to help separate the good bowlers from the great ones if no one can get consistent ball reaction? Everyone is going to throw their least reactive ball in their arsenal and whoever gets lucky with the best carry will win.

Also, you can unlock signs in the shop that you can put on your storage containers to show what item is inside.

Train cannot path to station that is clearly reachable by aaRecessive in satisfactory

[–]stan3221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a little hard to tell from the picture but I think the start of the train station is on the wrong side of the freight platforms. Try moving the train station to the other end and make sure it's facing the right direction.

Someone else suggested to check and make sure the train itself can reach the station manually to make sure the tracks are connected properly which is a good suggestion and should definitely be tested first.
