For all who want to build it far away from your base and don't want to run five times: 2 Smelters 3 Foundries 8 Constructors 4 Assemblers Now you can just add it to your To-Do List and gather everything beforehand. Also take some additional Materials for Splitters, Mergers, Belts, Miners, Power and Foundation with you. Have fun building it :)

[@justus9257]

Can you do this on all of his videos plz lmao

[@niklasschulte7790]

Thats a good Point ! Maybe he can do it in his following videos. That would help a lot !

[@likeabosslinc]

@@justus9257 lol when ever there doing stuff far away i just grab everrything i can think of and hope its enough

[@shanerooney7288]

Take some iron ore, (re)build the hub. Make what you need on-site.

[@LifesGuardian]

Great build, as always! I realize this vid is 5 months old, but one thing I have done with most of your builds is trying to save some space by cramming the logistics. Meaning instead of placing splitters/mergers in the middle of a row, put them just at the end of the machine leaving the rest of the row for more machines or for the logistics for the next row of machines. Can't do it effectively all the time as sometimes the inputs and outputs don't line up just right, but it's good to do when you can to save space. I know this series is geared toward newer players and doing it your way makes it much easier to follow, but I've found that doing it this way usually leaves enough room to add a sink to the build. That way, once the storage fills, you can generate coupons with the rest. Also, adding sinks to the builds would be helpful too since most newer players aren't really thinking about it and just let the machines get bogged down when the storage gets full. If not, then a gentle reminder at the end of the build/vid like "Don't forget to place a smart/splitter before the storage and split the output to a sink to avoid wasting productivity." Something like that. I know when I was new, as if I'm not still a total novice, I never thought of them and always felt like I was wasting time and resources and never had any coupons for those cool upgrades/cosmetics.

[@Schattenwolf_Sicarius]

I love your Videos, with your Instructions it feels like building with Mega Bloks. It is so satisfying and i had so much fun to build. Thank you very much.

[@chad933]

Hey man, I love these videos so much. My inability to find the right layouts for these factories was starting to genuinely upset me and I almost gave up on this game, despite having tons of fun. My wife isn't huge on most of the games I play and she hates building games so I was pleasantly surprised she got super absorbed into the small exploration aspect of this game. With your last few videos on the layouts I have found joy again and I love that you just make these for people. Thanks again

[@WickedCrispy]

Thanks so much for this build, I got a big wad of spaghet going which got me to Phase 2 of the space elevator and I finally decided to look up some tips on saving space while being more efficient. Your video made me curious about underclocking so I looked up some videos on why you would. It never occurred to me that if you underclock to match the next machine input requirements in the chain it saves you power drain on the overall grid, allowing you to build more with less power used.

[@PeppermintPat]

Beautiful thank you! My factory is a complete mess but your tutorials make it just a little bit better 😂

[@spectrumdad_]

It’s ok no one is looking 🫣

[@naufalrayfi460]

Just want to say, loved this and the Automated Cable layout. It was very convenient that Automated Cable only needed 22.5 in both Iron Ore and Coal, so the beginner place on the Grassy Planes perfectly fit the bill (2 normal iron, 1 pure coal, and 1 normal copper all Mk.2 Miners). The underclocking stuff isn't very clear, but I think assuming those that needed to be underclocked are always the right side should be a OK.

[@rexfenris4856]

I would absolutely love an efficient layout of a nuclear plant, all the way to sinking the waste as plutonium rods. I've seen a couple on youtube, but there's always something missing (too compact so you can't everything, or they don't list efficiency numbers). Loving your content! The step-by-step process is extremely helpful.

[@spectrumdad_]

It's on the list! Will do!

[@MrDecapoda]

Man, this layout's gonna make my life so much easier. Tuck away in the corner for the whole game. :D Thanks!

[@spectrumdad_]

Set it and forget it! :)

[@capper2961]

man i wish i built this like a week ago lmao. if you could drop a heavy modular frame or computers factory guide that'd be dope!

[@blakeeastlake1814]

thanks man this is real helpful, could you do a basic quartz layout next?

[@Yzorixul]

0:45 is there a reason why you don't just connect the splitters to the lifts directly?

[@SpiritWolf-r5c]

u cant lol

[@Yzorixul]

@@SpiritWolf-r5c did they remove that with update 8? Im playing on 7 and it worked just fine with splitters and mergers. Just aim into the lifts open end when placing a splitter

[@spectrumdad_]

you can, but I don't like the way it looks. It seems odd to me that most of the metal of the lift is in the splitter. Like how is the splitter working ? :P But you can.

[@nicolasb7795]

@ 3:28 please specify which machine needs to be underclocked, 1 or 2 doesnt help considering it was the right one that had to be undercloked

[@Jelly_Beanz02]

Agreed Im trying to figure out which iron rod needs to be changed the others it doesnt really matter

[@johnosaurusrex9496]

Same. He mentioned the last foundry. I suppose the last is the 3rd one on the right. Not sure.

[@bruhmomento9967]

I don't know why, but it doesn't work for me, and I did everything like in the video. Single constructors still don't have enough materials. Is there any solution?

[@jesamilpendragon4434]

Not to be a naysayer, but.... isn't there a problem where there's not enough iron rods being produced for the modular frames?

[@MrNocturnal1]

this is my issue. Massive bottleneck

[@cety]

can i ask why not just put mk 3 and/or above, is there a reason or just to save resources?

[@gravity6664]

Love the content, any chance we can get a Heavy Modular Frame layout with a good spot on map as well?

[@dagg497]

You need Limestone, coal and iron for Heavy Modular frames. Nortwest works but quite the distance between the things across the rocky desert. By the lake at easy start midwest you have everything you need within walking distance. And by far most material is at northeast super large deserr. But i guess it depends on your stsrting location. Check out the interactive map at "satisfactory calculator"

[@Retrax007]

I´m new in this game and I wanted to know, why in the 70% of times I have to use MK1 Belts instead of (for example) MK2? It's because of the Underclocking or it´s because of something else?

[@CharlesIsMyName]

Do the marks of belts matter? Can I just make everything mark 3?

[@nickmachbr6958]

nice, but please specify which machine is the "second one" when setting production rates, one assembler will receive iron rods first and the other one will receive the reinforced plates first, so "second one" doesn't really exist here.

[@lukascermak6937]

hi i just wanted to ask when you put the iron plate in the r.i.p. wouldnt there be a overflow, or had i calculated wrong? BTW great video!🥳

[@Oliver-py2zr]

Does it also work if i put Mk 3 Belts everywhere?

[@levinubs9631]

on the foundries at the start of the build, does the iron go in the left side and the coal going in the right side?

[@spectrumdad_]

they both come in from the left hand side. The iron goes in the bottom splitter manifold, and the coal on the top one.

[@WickedCrispy]

Which type of elevators do you use? Just Mk 1s all around? PS it would be neat if you could just add how much total power is required to run this whole module.

[@jinxshaddix]

@0:11 120MW power

[@JWAVer]

Thanks for still cranking these out lol. The graphics look fresh, are you playing in the new experimental unreal engine 5?

[@spectrumdad_]

Unfortunately for the guides I am still using Update 7 unless it's a specific Update 8 guide. Once I get access to mods again and the build is more stable I'll make the switch 👍

[@legion___gaming7169]

love your videos brother helped me out so much, any chance you could do a automated wire layout

[@spectrumdad_]

Yep should have that one out next.

[@legion___gaming7169]

@@spectrumdad_ I’ve literally set my factory up using all your vids and it’s amazing how fast I have progressed through the tiers you a legend brother

[@workfromhomedev]

if all belt is mk3 does it affect the efficiency?

[@spectrumdad_]

What I mention in my videos are the minimum belt speeds. Anything higher still works.

[@Goodname_ig]

Solid steel is a great alternate

[@StonyTeckdude]

love the design! I was wondering is there a reason why you lower the production percent of some buildings? Will it be bad if i dont?

[@Yzorixul]

i'd guess it's so that everything runs smoothly. if you have all at max, they start to stutter because they don't get enough to run at full speed. This creates unnecessary power spikes and the need to produce more power overall because you have to compensate for the spikes.

[@spectrumdad_]

pretty much what Yzorixul said, just to avoid power spikes and reduce the overall power consumption of the build.

[@heinrichgernandt1295]

when you say underclock the last one, I'm always assuming that its the one to the right. can you please clarify? thank you so much for these by the way, your voice is so soothing.

[@Staks999]

Mine runs wayy too slow, barely 5 parts in 10 minutes, maybe I did something wrong or its outdated. gotta re do it in my own way, way less clean way😔

[@lucasgroen5519]

when you say in your videos ''now underclock the last one'' you always mean the most right of the machines or the most left? it confuses me and im scared it will ruin efficiency

[@spectrumdad_]

@@lucasgroen5519 usually the right. More precisely the last in the direction of the manifold.

[@BornToulouse]

Well, you contradict that statement twice in this video where the right one is referred to as the second one, but it comes first in the flow of the manifold.

[@BornToulouse]

When you say the second one no one ever knows what you mean dude its every one of your videos you do something like that and the coments are 50% people trying to figure that out, are you farming comments by being purposefully unclear? Either way very frustrating

Maybe you Must think a Bit by yourself.

[@timo4463]

@@niklasschulte7790 dumb answer

[@johnosaurusrex9496]

I think we are reading left to right. So when he says “second” or “last” it’s from left to right
