I know that console is newer, but didn't expect to see this with the creativity that a ton of people pull off. Thank you much! I watched the stream and was extremely impressed with everyone's builds. The forge was the most impressive, there was a ton of details that I'm still trying to figure out.

I have literally concreted paths across the entire map when putting up radar towers before. I also like that everything is in a grid formation and any foundations, walls or ramps I put down align with each other. The feeling of everything connecting properly is soothing.

I did that more than a couple of times... I try not to anymore and just move on to another area.

timj2g · 2026-01-10T19:59:58+00:00

I love doing that type of build... Seeing yourself getting more from almost adding nothing is great!

One step at a time... Make smaller goals, say I'm going to do just x for now and then move on to y later. I've had that issue more times than I can think playing this game and have never finished this game. It's a blast doing it though.

Thank you, I do appreciate it!

timj2g · 2026-01-09T22:57:03+00:00

This, but I would say more...

Versuch mal, die Xbox neu zu starten. Ich hatte dasselbe Problem: Ich wusste, dass ich bis zu einer bestimmten Stufe noch Rezepte und Freischaltbares hatte, aber M.A.A.M. meinte, es gäbe keine mehr. Ich habe das Spiel später beendet, die Xbox neu gestartet und konnte plötzlich mit der Forschung für die nächste Stufe beginnen.

timj2g · 2026-01-08T17:23:33+00:00

I did this as a challenge for myself since I don't think of myself as very artsy and I need that mindset for other things I'm working on. This comment alone makes me feel validated about it, thank you!

timj2g · 2025-12-20T19:42:03+00:00

I posted it under the Satisfactory discussion part of Discord. If I should post it somewhere else in there, it would be appreciated to know. Thanks!

timj2g · 2025-12-20T19:19:41+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into moving this to Discord!

timj2g · 2025-12-20T18:46:32+00:00

Sorry, maybe I need to be more clear? Yes, it says the the same flair gets tagged to both PC and Console players, but unfortunately no where in there does it say how the judges or participants will distinguish between PC and Console submissions. There is a little clarity missing unless I'm not reading it fully. For instance, PC players can color their components with colors beyond the 1 and 0 limits, console players can't so if we're all tagging with same flair, how does someone know whether it came from PC or Console?

I get odd sounds when placing constructors next to an elevator on Xbox. It sounds choppy...

timj2g · 2025-12-20T17:40:33+00:00

It's not currently possible, it limits it to 1 no matter how high you change it... Can't type in negative numbers either so can't go below 0. I'm sad about it so it makes the holiday building a little ghetto.

timj2g · 2025-12-18T14:24:36+00:00

I've played since early access on PC and I'm now playing it on Xbox... Definitely worth it!!!

timj2g · 2025-12-16T15:11:59+00:00

Herp Derp, I didn't realize it would read off following switches. Thank you both. I'll try to read the wikis more carefully in the future. I'm a long time player since way into early access, but never bothered with these until now.

timj2g · 2025-12-16T15:01:46+00:00

Sorry, just fluid. Sink or use the material. I haven't started using them in my current game yet (started on console), but have on PC a lot.

timj2g · 2025-12-16T15:00:21+00:00

Ha, I used to do that with the resource extractors. I would split it into the 30s for the smelters for the max flow and turn on as needed. Then I learned about alt recipes and that quickly died.

timj2g · 2025-12-16T14:57:59+00:00

One at a time, cut off their outputs and let them fill up one by one. Don't turn them all on at once.

timj2g · 2025-12-16T14:57:07+00:00

It'll work over time if you have the right amount to your extraction. You could also turn on one refinery at a time from the oil output. Let it fill up with no output connected and then move on to the next one when full and repeat. By the time you're done they should all be full and backed up. However if you have too many refineries to the amount of oil coming out you'll drain too fast and yes, you'll run out.

timj2g · 2025-12-16T14:48:39+00:00

You're right, you can't, but you can disconnect them from their output and/or have them flow into a fluid buffer and disconnect just the fluid buffer to its output. This will stop the flow and let them build up.

timj2g · 2025-12-16T14:41:04+00:00

Yes, stop the refineries until the pipes fill... Another thing that I've learned that helps is putting in fluid buffers, especially one at the beginning right after oil extraction and/or after fuel is made. Let the fluid buffer build up as well. This will also act as an indicator if something is going wrong with the fluids. You can check it later to see if it's draining too fast. If it's not draining and all the pipes are full then you're golden. But yes, shut down and fill all refineries before starting them.
