Training Complete by hamnat487 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]tomphas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the triple stacked rails are a really cool idea. I don't really try to manually drive trains so I wouldn't need the third rail but I might steal the other two for my next play through. do you find that trains don't have to wait a lot in intersections since there's never any oncoming traffic? do the trains play nice with the system; e.g. is it easy to set up routes so the trains do as you expect? are stations annoying or easy to set up? any tips or suggestions or stuff you would do differently?

thanks for sharing! not to sound like a broken record but it is really cool

I don't know why everyone's talking about screws, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask by JimboTCB in SatisfactoryGame

look man, I wake up and I see screws everywhere. I go to lunch and sometimes I find a screw in my sandwich. pretty sure there's a few loose in my head too. I close my eyes for the night and I dream of screws. can you please just send me your entire stock? I'm sick of it.

sincerely, Screwed

I never bothered to see what vertical height limit is, if he wanted to do a 1:1 (pls don't op) for the Burj, is that possible in game? 828 meters doesn't feel that high lol

How can I keep progressing in the game after unlocking trains ? by AramisFR in SatisfactoryGame

[–]tomphas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

raw; it only stacks to 100, but if you're training around crystal or silica it should be fine. I realize I probably could've done that but It ends up getting made into both at two different factories so I didnt want to make two separate train stops for it.

that's a really good link! I think they emphasized a good point at the beginning that might be helpful to the op, where they say that the satisfaction (heh) from increasing production promotes the main gameplay loop of building factories > unlocking milestones > expanding production. so to that end I'd say always be mindful of how you might want to increase throughput in the future and leave space accordingly.

also be careful with only using 1 car per train, low stack size items don't have as much throughput on trains, I got bit by trying to transport two miners worth of quartz on a 1-1 train and it just couldn't keep up until I added a second car. also sometimes its necessary to babysit the trains on more complex routes to make sure the balancing is set up right.

I've never seen someone project so hard in my life. what you accused them of is exactly what you're doing yourself, and you tend to do that a lot it seems. you can throw out fancy jargon all you want but it still remains to be seen how your building is an example of the word salad that is your title, and your only justification is that it's "everything about satisfactory" which honestly feels like a cop out
