[@PHENIXXCREATES]

I've gathered together 20ish tips and tricks in Satisfactory that I feel are extremely useful to Satisfactory players. Sure some of these are pretty simple and a lot of you guys out there probably already know, but in my experience not everyone knows a lot of these including things that may seem basic to us everyday players. So I hope some of you out there get some sort of help out of this video. Also Did I miss a trick that you know of.. let me know here in the comments.

[@Megaton_Matt]

much obliged

[@TheExileFox]

If you can, use it, the "frame floor" part is useful to create consistent "steps" if you play around with it, unlike lining up the road barrier vertically.

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

It’s very funny to me how the very first tip is something I have never discovered in my four+ years of playing this game, but the second tip was something I discovered in the first hour of my first save file ever. This game is so amazing in how it causes different people to play it different ways!

[@chrisp129341]

Just wanted to point out that you can place miners on top of 4m foundations. You usually have to remove at least one block to that you can physically see the node, then the miner will snap in place to the top of the 4m while you look at the node location.

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

I will need to try that. in my testing I could only get it to go so far on top of the initial foundation

[@TayschrennSedai]

Another tip I've never seen someone mention, if you crouch you won't fall off an edge of a foundation, like in minecraft.

[@The3obaFett]

If you use the calculator to figure out your machine settings, you don't even have to type in the result. You can just copy and paste the formula into your clock speed % or your items per min.

[@SininStyle]

When you first started playing, it is unlikely that autocrafting on the bench was in game. This was put in in recent patches. I also used weighted items to craft when it first came out. Patch 4.0 is when autocrafting using spacebar was included.

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

I never knew when it was actually added in the game.. just kinda happened upon it one day.

[@wasabihb5568]

Been there for quite some time... shift + space

[@deniskosian2934]

You can enter formula when you configure your machines. Thus, in your example with assembler producing 5 motors per minute. Let's say you want for some unknown reason using three assemblers not one, underclocked to produce the same 5 motors per minute. You can just type 5/3 in each machine's clock settings.

[@blakeylake11]

Been playing this since like day one and literally placed my mobile on the space bar yesterday to hold it down, gentle tap here I come

[@StAnger1619]

One thing I love to do regarding the copy/paste tip, is for those with a mouse that has side buttons (e.g. I have a Corsair Nightsword), swap the hotkey commands of ctrl+c and ctrl+v to two of the side buttons. Makes for copy/pasting recipes even faster!

[@leotheliongames]

You’re a genius, thank you!

[@yosemitedan7457]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1260">21:00</a>. It could also be pointed out that when you are adjusting output that is also a calculator. Say you know your input will be 30 ingots but want to spread those over 3 machines. You can input 30/3 and it gives you the result needed. Obviously few people would need that for such a basic calculation but we both know there are time it is far from basic. (7.5 stators and 7.5 rotors coming in, how many motors? Go out to get the N calculator or do the math right there.)

[@DejonckheereWard]

The nudge feature got me gasping

[@playlisttarmac]

Day 1 of playing - I was about to put something on my space bar - you saved me the trouble :)

[@TayschrennSedai]

In the old days I used a macro 🤣

[@dblackout1107]

I have played a lot of this and didn’t know literally any of these except for maybe the miner height adjusting by putting foundation under it

[@DistracticusPrime]

Love that tip with the pillar and road barrier. So many spots where I want a catwalk to match up with one on the machine. As I start making blueprints for miners and such, that's going to be very useful.

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheExileFox]

If you can use it, the "frame floor" part is useful to create consistent "steps" if you play around with it, unlike lining up the road barrier vertically.

[@jonasholm-mw5bn]

The thing with color was nice. Because I both want to try it out, but have mostly been too lazy to really do anything about it. But it seams like it have been made way easier and more convenient since it was added

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

yeah coloring things was a lot harder and time consuming than it needed to be before.

[@TOOL1023]

I haven't played since Update 5. Learned a lot of new information. Thank you!

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

Thank you. This is why I made it. So people who are new or catching up may gain a little bit more knowledge

[@ZizzlyWizard]

I spent 35 hours on my first serious world putting something heavy on my mouse cuz i didnt know about the space bar

[@valerianus8632]

I usually use a resource bus, which is on the world grid. Normally, I have a smelter factory near my miner. I live with that the miner are not clean connected to it. More important is, that the bus, which is connected to the smelter factory, is on the world grid, so it is connected to my factories. If you want a more realist approach, use short routes of trucks between the smelter and the miner. Let the miner fill a storage near and let the trucks bring the resources from there to the smelter factory. Than bring the ingots with a central bus to your factories. You can connect additional smelter factories to the bus, to increase the amount transported.

[@kevinmurray2551]

Shoutout for the Stellaris music

[@pucebracelet2214]

resting my phone on the spacebar is a nostaligia trip at this point.

[@Megaton_Matt]

hey @phenixxcreates I noticed there are no chapters. I know it's a pain but would be awesome to see chapters on this video for people who are searching for specifics

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

I will see about adding that in a day or two

[@ColinsFilms]

OMFG i never knew you could just tap the space bar to make items. Thanks for that.

[@DistrictDriver]

Thank you for that! Learned quite a bit, despite playing Satisfactory for a long time!

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

Glad to hear it!

[@Venom_1200]

Thank you so much for this series bro your how to satisfactory is da best 😁

[@pieterjanssens7017]

i agree :)

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

Not a problem. Though with todays announcement I need to get into gear and get it done cause once 1.0 comes out. I will start a new How To.

[@pieterjanssens7017]

Looking forward to it as usual.@@PHENIXXCREATES

[@bradcox2750]

Been playing since update 2 or 3 and I didn't know about those vines!!

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

I think I started in Update 3 or 4 and didn't know

[@TayschrennSedai]

Can also blow up most rocks @ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="445">7:25</a> that are in the way graphically

[@VTrucker777]

If follow world grid my base will be diagonally between rock pillars entrance So i just build road from my base to the place i need

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

nothing wwrong with not being on the grid.. some people like it.. some people don't care. It does make it easier sometimes to be on the grid but.. for me.. if it looks better not being on it.. I'll do it that way and then make it work

[@Pside22G]

What a great video!

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

Thank you!

[@BMindfulofLove]

super helpful thanks!

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

No problem!

[@henoude3323]

The nudging is HUGE thanks m8!

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

Its probably my favorite new addition to the game honestly.

[@henoude3323]

@@PHENIXXCREATES True. I thought it was only available for blueprints. So many building tricks I dont need to use anymore now bc of nudging everything. Love it.

[@sirtristanwolfe8629]

Am I weirding out or am I hearing Stellaris music @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1420">23:40</a> ??

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

I got tired of getting to many copyright claims so anymore I just have a playlist of music from Sci-fi games. It works pretty well I think.

[@TheExileFox]

Timestamps would be really helpful for this kind of videos.

[@maximilianschaedel4196]

You can actually do math inside the machines to Calculate Production rate

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

didn’t know that. Will look into it

[@ColonelSandersLite]

@@PHENIXXCREATESThis works but, in my experience, there's a big caveat. On paper - suppose you have 7 machines that need to make a total of 659 widgets per minute. You can enter an output rate of 659/7 on the first machine, copy machine settings, paste to the other 6 machines. Done. In practice - The decimal precision is not that good. This means you will drift off of the target rate over time. With multiple machines replicating the same rounding error, it's a compounding error so it will be more severe. You're better off using an integer rate on the machines and only using the decimal on 1 machine. Now, TBH, this is not a real problem most of the time. It can be a severe problem when you're dealing with byproducts that can back up and make production seize though.

[@TylerOstergaard]

are you a monster saying it north south west east :P jk man love the tips :)

[@keithromano3157]

oooo noooooooos.... i didnt snap to the world grid AND i used 1 m thick foundations... GAH ...

[@AlkaloidMushrooms]

wow great

[@spacev50761]

wait how did you strech that foundation at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="154">2:34</a> , i did not know that was posible

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

Press R before you place your foundations and you will change construction modes between Default.. Zoop.. and Vertical. Zoop is what I use for building floors and walls out like that.

[@DistracticusPrime]

You can even zoop under terrain and out into the waters.

[@kitarl1]

I just use 1m tiles for as much as possible

[@mb9328]

How do you "grab" an item?

[@radnfplim]

Look at it and click the middle mouse button (the scroll wheel).

[@madt.6723]

These tips is very helpful! My factory building also got much faster

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

You're very welcome

[@MOhonPaLil]

Este chico me da pena. Ninguno de sus tips aporta nada nuevo y es ahora cuando descubre cosas que ya estaban en el juego cuando salió en Early Access hace ya cinco años

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

You are incorrect.. and obviously not understanding the concept of this video. You say I just discovered these.. I have been playing this game for years now since update 3 or 4. I didn't just discover these.. I am showing other new players. You say these tips aren't contributing anything new. Ask the new players who don't know them what they think. Once a week on reddit theres someone who is just finding out you can tap spacebar to auto craft. These are extremely useful to new players. This video isn't for the person who dedicates thousands of hours its for those who are just picking it up. My entire how to series is dedicated to teaching new players. I get hundreds of comments from people who follow my series thanking me for doing these videos. You feel sorry for me. I feel sorry for you sitting in at your laptop being a keyboard warrior thinking your all that. Move along troll and get a life. Maybe get a better attitude and you might gain a few friends.

[@MOhonPaLil]

No es lo mejor que he dicho pero es lo que sentí. Innecesario, repetido y tarde. Bravo que los chicos de Coffee Stain ya están preparando la versión 1.0 y estas listas de consejos y trucos vivirán un renacer para luego caer en el olvido

[@PHENIXXCREATES]

again.. you are incorrect.. just because 1.0 is on its way its still going to be awhile.. and I doubt many things are going to change from these tips. If anything we will get even more new things to figure out and learn. And again... you are being inconsiderate of others. Just because you think you know everything there is to know about the game.. doesnt many everyone else does. your opinion is one in a thousand.. and considering the praise I get from so many others for my how to series.. only thing fading intonoblivion is you. You dont like my content .. dont watch its that easy

[@ivocanevo]

​@@MOhonPaLil Son, I feel sorry for _you._ I think you are misinterpreting the reason for the video. Like you, I have many hours (1500+) in Satisfactory. I enjoy watching this video because it helps me feel that I've mastered all the tricks, and maybe I'll get to add a comment. Or maybe I'll be bored and not finish watching. But also, I learned one new thing today: putting a formula into the machine. Why did you comment? Let's make the internet a friendlier place together.
