You're easily my new favorite source of Satisfactory content. You've got a great voice and the editing is excellent. Keep it up!

[@RittzGames]

Thank you so much! I’ll keep trying my best for you all :)

[@Oxibase]

I completely agree with this statement. Your videos are entertaining and it’s nice to hear your thinking when it comes to achieving your objectives. It’s also neat to see how you go about overcoming the various problems that us more experienced players have already dealt with. I’m really glad to have been able to see the first video in what I hope is a long series of future videos. I’m really curious to see how you do with aluminum production.

[@TheClitis69]

As a "satisfactory veteran" it is really refreshing to see you discovering the game :) you learn the basic stuff stuff super quickly and it's very nice to see the game by the eyes of a new player. thanks a lot, i'm eager to see you going further :p

[@spokloo]

I'm surprised at how fast you understood the base mechanics of the game! It took me so many hours to realise machines have the output/min written on it. And btw, you can change the build mode by pressing the R key and that way you can enter zoop mode and zoop foundations across to place them faster

[@Mazapine]

Zooping is one of the best parts of the game

[@RittzGames]

I didn’t know that!!! Thank you

Oh man, I'm digging vicariously experiencing the game for the first time again. The enthusiasm is infectious.

[@almaekcompany4477]

Very infectious!

[@xXVantXx2928]

Finally, a fresh take on Satisfactory. I like that you aren't corrupted by all the known "optimal" ways to play, you're just letting things develop organically. Great videos! Keep it up!

[@Sabe-Stormrage]

Nice to see another Mechanically and Technologically inclined person discovering the game and making rather quick work on figuring out how to optimize his build. As a Technician and Architect i always enjoy seeing how others lay out the ground work from the basics and come up with interesting solutions. Looking forward to see how you progress from here.

[@F3cast]

It's still very early access but Desynced might be something you want to look out for. Some small tipps: - you can ctrl+c and ctrl+v recipes from and into maschines. - you probably already build one, but if not: a small production line where you feed leaves and wood into to make solid biofuel helps alot. Sadly you can't - automaticly harvest those. - underclocking saves energy/overclocking costs more, the % field allows you to input calculations. So you can write "2/3" to get exactly 66.666...% production - At some point not to far in the future you will produce more from the miners. you might want to leave some space to expand production lines.

[@neil2444]

I would also mention the zoop mode. The default key is R to change modes while building foundations and it lets you mass build many at once. Very useful to know especially before building walls and a base.

[@76Eliam]

also : -Pressing N opens a "quick search" bar *that includes an single-line calculator* which makes optimisation WAY easier

[@Afro__Joe]

Seeing a programmer that specializes in automation play a factory game where you can program your units... oh boy

[@Traveticus]

really enjoying your playthrough so far, can't wait for you to get to later tiers and see how insane the scale of this game gets. My only tip is to get to coal power as quickly as possible so you can fully automate it!

[@HTG_Wolfi]

For calculating things in satisfactory you can press the "N" key, that opens the quick search you can do math in there. Great vid.

[@drewk5972]

you have a knack for this. not just the automation, but the way you explain your thought process and engage in randomness throughout. you honestly will LOVE how far this game will take you, I cannot wait to see the next video!

[@76Eliam]

2:55 "it won't be 100% efficient at the moment but whenever we do get enough ressources I think we will be okay" petty much sums up my Satisfactory experience

[@FredFredBurger92]

A couple things: Lizard Doggos *can* take damage and die, even after taming. Be sure to keep them safe. :) While you say it's a starter base, you're also smack in the middle of the most dense patch of resources in the game. You can finish the entire tech tree with what's nearby, and three other things within 1500m or so. Really impeccable progress so far though, people usually come with with a terminal case of the spaghett before restarting, and even then it's not half this organized.

[@RittzGames]

Thank you so much! I just love automation, it just all makes sense to me :)

[@novaseer]

I'm impressed at how he basically cracked the manifold design a couple of hours in.

[@Serxne_]

Let's go! Another episode! I'm glad to see you're still going at it! Can't wait to see more. You're learning super quick too. Did I see a few manifold set-ups alongside some load balancing? Not going to put a burden on you mentally, but if you have that methodology this early into the game, you're going to have some pretty sick set-ups and I can't wait to be there for them.

[@ironfist_DR]

Pointing Ronald with your Zapper gives me anxiety

[@KaliFortuna]

Random note, press H to holster your tools, for immersion and/or cleaner screenshots.

[@goblinounours]

The crazyness of Satisfactory is how it keeps adding things on top of what you know/have, so you can't keep-up and at one point, you HAVE to make an entirely new base elsewhere to get new resources. As someone who's more of an artist than an engineer, I tried to make efficient bases that look fantastic, and Satisfactory allows that! Once you start leveraging the things you can get in the Awesome Shop to make it look believeable, with pillars, signs, stickers on foundations, walls with various holes to connect to conveyor belts/elevators... it gets insane.

[@Trekkertech]

Ah, this looks like you planted down right where I built my starter factory in my personal save. I remember the area being marked as very likely to change drastically, it is kind of surreal seeing someone set up shop there once again after the last major terrain overhaul. One of the major things I did during that playthrough was building a rail network that traveled through and along the pillars below. I haven't come back but I imagine all I built in there is now buried now.

[@Agent00Pi]

The LGIO music at 3:48 while you're discovering one of the first things Josh learned in this game was a moment!

[@RittzGames]

you’re the only one that’s noticed that!

[@graxxor]

Your decision to separate each zone into grids was inspired! It will be a godsend later on in the game. A minimal overclock by placing a power shard (made from a power slug on the craft bench) in the limestone miner will render you 135 limestone for 100% efficient concrete.

[@dagg497]

Im also an Automation Engineer/Mechanical Engineer. I must say I was more engineery 😂 I built blueprints with 2 levels. One for underfloor conveyers and the 2nd floor for machines.. Also I built relay stations before each Copper/Iron/Steel Ingot, where i split gathered conveyors of say 720 or 1080 to either 240-360 belts for distributing per workshop floor. Under the buildings I built acveducts for pipelines or resource conveyors. Actually also fits small truck stop for gathering stuff from 4-5 buildings and riding it to the Assembler/manufacturer building.🎉🎉 One thing I miss though is to have a smart switch so that you could have track switches for conveyorbelts depending selected recepy in assembler/manufacturor. Also you should be able to group several building to toggle recepys by group and purge belt/machine contents..

Nice setup. You should start to think in 3D space, now as you said your setup looks like a pcb. A nice and tidy PCB! :D When you build the elevator, and step up a tier or two, there will come some difficult product what you have to create and transport. And no spoiler, but some later you will forget this nice location and move around the world!

[@sbcguitarist]

Watching you organically discover manifold designs was awesome! If you are unfamiliar with the terminology, it was the design you used on your second factory for the iron rods.

[@RemoraDFC343]

You are learning a lot of the mechanics and understanding many things very quickly. Such as Belt speeds and load balancing input/output. To help with your math. The game has a built-in calculator. Using the N key, for the search pop-up. You can use that pop-up to type your math equations in. Just type whatever your calculating and it will provide the results. ie: Press N to open the pop-up, within type math like 120/4 and it will automatically show you the result being 30

[@pit32]

Love it! You can copy a building's settings with the good ol ctrl + c and ctrl + v while looking at the building. No need to open every building's menu to set recipes and overclocks.

[@toasterlovingtechpriest]

There is a calculator built into the game, just press n and type whatever you want to calculate in the quicksearch bar

[@Karmolo85]

A tip for base building build 25-30 floors up so you can avoid obstacle when you build transport belt and build wide in base. You are new this game takes time what best the action and learn for 2nd base

[@TheAzarak]

0:25 "I have a vast area of space." Oh you sweet summer child...

[@jimmykungberg308]

Have not played since January and was thinking of taking up this game again, seeing your enthusiasm as you build your first factory is awesome, my poor factory has been standing idle for over half a year. - The Factory must grow!

[@f.m.f962]

I wanted to play satisfactory so bad since the betas, but I just don't have the gpu power for it so I resorted to mod minecraft with create lmao. I still kept watching satisfactory content, but most of the old creators are not as active anymore, so I'm glad the game is still attracting new blood like you.

[@mew4ever23]

Honestly, don't even worry about the space elevator at this point. You're doing quite well. Only thing I'd add at this point in your factory is a line to process your leaves and wood into biomass and solid biomass. Next stop: Assemblers.

[@TheBaldr]

There was some controversy for straight line splitting. Where every machine gets it own splitter that splits the incoming line between the machine and the next splitter. It may be a more resource intensive and slower output at the beginning. But definitely much more space friendly and tidier, and once it at full production produces the same amount of materials. You can try hard, but at some point the so called "Spaghetti" of messy conveyor belts will always be a part of your factory as it was in the beginning.

[@RittzGames]

it just makes sense to do it that way

[@madDragon08]

I like how the video started as spaghetti over mud, and end with spaghetti over concrete. Looking good. I think I lost my last factory during a computer change. I'd debated about starting up again. I was really proud of myself starting a factory just before the Christmas event, and completing the Christmas event a few days before the big day. I felt like I was behind and under performing the entire way.

[@AWhiteBell]

Me, having played this for years, appreciating your more efficient arraignment of nodes, but smiling because before too long you are going to discover that you'll have to produce so much more than that, and you'll redo it all yet again, and again, and so on. And I'd watch you do it too, because you are super chill. And, if you think those lantern trees look cool, wait until the Ficsmas event.

[@RittzGames]

ficsmas?!?

[@galev3955]

As someone who got into the game recently it is fun to watch someone who is also new to it and figuring stuff out for the first time as opposed to the mega factories the hardcore players are posting (those are fun too, but this is more relatable for me :D)

[@joeshmoe2782]

Loving these first couple of videos. You can setup some dirty (handfed) automation for biofuel using a couple if storage containers and some constructers. Then you can just mass farm the materials, and let the constructers do the rest of the work for you.

[@markgottselig3059]

This is awesone. As an Automation developer (the term Engineer is regulated in Canada) too, I love this game!

[@Nyghtprowler]

As a Statisfactory player and an engineer myself :) I'm a 100% efficiency nut. So consider perfectly splitting and underclocking machines down to 100. If I click my power poles and look at the power - if its not flat lined I get OCD lol. NO sawtooth power over here!

[@draconicboy1256]

Just an FYI for Rittz, If you hover your cursor over the main part of the node where you put the miners, it can say Impure, Normal and Pure, Pure equaling best, and Impure is the worse.

[@BattlewarPenguin]

It's amazing how clean you make the factories! For the amount of time invested into the game, it's really above average! It looks like someone with +100 hours made it, really nice work 😄 I'm really excited for you to unlock the amazing stuff there is to discover and use in Satisfactory and marvel us with the awesome things you come up with!

[@GTalon5]

"I have this vast area..." lol, you sweet summer child. As for power slugs. Yellow ones usually have something dangerous around them and purple ones have something very dangerous and are hard to get to. If you go back to where you found that yellow slug you'll find a new resource. Research it and eventually you'll get power switches. Easier then adding and removing powerlines.

[@thunderbolt4494]

I feel like almost everyone who started this game for the first time built everything as a mess, me included. But then I learned about the foundation stuff and how much *EASIER* it is to build and snap everything to a grid to be more efficient in the automation field. except for LGIO. Please, please don't watch him for the sake of your sanity. He's created *automation nightmares* beyond comprehension. You thought your first base was bad before using the foundations? Josh (LGIO) takes it to a whole new level.

[@aureliogrolla]

nice job man, keep it going, I dare you make a giant building. This is the best place to spawn, so you can make an ultra efficient base. You will find oil near by. Only problem will be uranium. should I make "A Real Nuclear Physicist Builds Reactor in Satisfactory!"? hahaha

[@munkeygames7457]

Like others I'm also probably classed as a Satisfactory veteran (4200hrs) and thoroughly enjoying your chilled start into the game. Only tips are middle mouse button to reproduce an item, (If you're not using it already), load up your number hotkeys with base items, use copy/paste for recipes/settings etc, remap keys if it makes it easier. Enjoy the simple times of single item machines.... :)

[@RandallKinney78]

It's always fun watching a new recruit discover this game.

[@battler4739]

Thanks for a great video. My 'backseat driver' comments: Don't forget to return to the spaceship you found and also to find others, they can be a great boost (if you get lucky). You now have a map function (default key is 'm') so that you can mark the location of things you find e.g. spaceships, caves and new resources. I was inspired to start a new game. Same location, I look forward to matching progress (and gaining from your insights) as we build. Thanks again.

[@marbulOfficial]

Videos like these make me wish my PC was good enough to handle Satisfactory at higher graphics... The game just looks beautiful. Great content, by the way! I'd definitely be too scared to make such a big factory already with no access to coal plants.

[@nicklasfejersen4202]

I can't wait for you to continue playing and get a better understanding of the game, and all the small things you can do to make it easier for yourself. And later on down the line maybe even start playing with some minor basic mods, cause I said this on your last video too, but I really love your videos and it's so refreshing to see someone's first look at the game. Can't wait for your next upload!

[@Oxibase]

It’s definitely a nice new perspective watching someone new to the game compared to the various big name veterans on KZbin who have been building massive and beautiful factories for years already.

[@Just1kOoL]

This game is the definition of working agile. Anyway, it's never gonna be as efficient as you wish , and u cannot make it overall efficient because you'll need to build it differently every milestone - due to the number of stuff required for the next one. Cool video, love the game! :) Take a milestone as one sprint, and make everything efficient for it.

[@touchthesun]

quick tip on those power shards and overclocking: The max output you can get from a resource node is 780 units/min because that's the limit of the mk5 belt. As you scale into the late game, the most efficient use of limited power shards is to maximize resource output by overclocking your miners, rather than overclocking lots of production machines.

[@mdcccxx]

The algorithm brought me here, the content made me subscribe. Loving the Satisfactory playthrough! Keep it up, and I'm glad your channel is growing!

[@LDLaizare]

I just dropped my first ever nuclear reactors in the same area you're building in. xD We call that place the "Nexus", because you have access to every major resource in game within walking distance, save Bauxite (It's a bit of a hike from where you are.) Iron, Copper, Limestone, Quartz, Coal, Oil, Caterium, Sulfur and Uranium. All right there. It's a bangin' spot for a future Megabase. Can't wait to see how an "automation engineer" handles the beast that is Turbo Motors.

[@nikmladevovic9041]

This reminds me of a happier time playing satisfactory, before the numerous tabs of spreadsheets and calculators, the 3 monitors worth of databases, the notepad next to the mouse. Oh watching you grow is going yo be interesting.

[@MotherBiscuitLover]

KEEP YOUR BIO BURNERS UP & LOADED EVEN AFTER YOU SWITCH TO COAL ETC. (sorry caps lock). They will be dormant until demand spikes & they will kick in to meet demand. It's a good back up, you can full on belt & suspenders when you add batteries as well.

[@szilardbenyovszky5075]

[@lionhead123]

dude its way too early for quartz. he is still tier 1. focus on expansion and power is my advice. Also explore, you can find small deposits of the rarer resources like quartz closeby to kickstart some things. also find slugs to make powerhshards.

[@NinjaMaster-rb7in]

A couple tips - Pressing N brings up the search tool but it also doubles as a calculator - In that same screen you can also leave yourself notes - Zoop mode by pressing R which I saw another comment mention - It seems that at 3:20 you figured out that bussing materials (a manifold) is more space efficient than perfectly splitting (While being just as efficient production wise) Also I just wanted to say I absolutely love your style of gameplay and editing and can't wait for more.

[@CruelestChris]

Well, it depends. Manifolds can have problems with very slow things like Crystal Oscillators since it takes them forever to saturate, and they're worse for items-on-belt which can cause problems if you don't have whatever dormant AI intelligence that Kibz uses for his game.

[@MOhonPaLil]

suggest: 1 Down the FOV to 80 2 Make floors for different products: 1st to Smelters making ingots, 2nd to Constructors and Assemblees to make Reinforced plates, 3rd to Rotors, etc 3 Go for coal generators, cause coal is infinite 4 Avoid the use of boxes as the end of your manufactures, better place that issues between floors as a buffer

[@RittzGames]

i lowered my fov a bit. i noticed it causes some issues! thank you for the tips!!

[@Chuberino68]

Glad to see you again here on Satisfactory, hope you're enjoing the game so far! I love the work that you've done with setting up all your machines before starting running them without control (like I did at the very beginning of my game), you'll get the conveyor belts mk2 so you'll automate everything with no problems. Keep an eye on the power lines tho, because obviously getting all those machines working on 100% efficiency will consume 100% of the power that is written in the machine, for example the 4MW/min for the smelters and the constructors. Because ye, if I'm not wrong (I'm not 100% sure of that, it's been a while since I played last time), the fact that your machines are not running at full speed means they consume less power. In fact, overclocking machines with power shards means: 1) more input materials needed, 2) more output materials that they'll produce, and 3) more power needed... the only difference between the colours of the slugs is the number of shards that you will get by each one of them (and the fact that in the environment they are more/less rare and more/less PROTECTED...) Btw you'll get, and have to find of course, new power sources in the forest, which will be much easier to automate. Hope that helps, keep it up!

[@JohnSmith-nn1yk]

[@seankaake2737]

I cant wait for him to see all the things he can unlock through the awesome shop, including power switches if I remember correctly!

[@PhailRaptor]

Power Switches (both kinds once 8 comes out) are through the MAM. But there are so many other things through the AWESOME Shop. Like the different material choices for Foundations. Better Power Poles. Conveyer Floor Holes and Ceiling Mounts. Lights. Signs.

[@MarcusArmstrong037]

This is the same place I built my starter base in my current game. Mk.2 Miners will also show up down the line, which double the output of the miners. So each one will produce 240 iron per minute. But Mk.3 belts can carry 270 per minute. So with everything doubled from what you have now, what I found made everything fit the best was to make one floor for the smelters, then all of the iron ingots move up to the second floor where I put all of the constructors. Ronald the bird. I've always believed that when they open their beak, they're imitating a flower of some kind, trying to catch bugs.

[@Secarious]

Wow. I'm genuinely impressed. You haven't even constructed your space elevator yet and you're already making things neat and tidy. That's unusual for most new players.

[@warriorsabe1792]

Remember you can underclock now when things don't perfectly divide, like with your concrete - if part of your capacity is going unused, it's wasting power, but underclocking will mitigate that by reducing the capacity and power consumption along with it. You'll find, if you haven't already, that the basic resource in Satisfactory is not so much amount of stuff as it is rate of production, so the wasted material cost of the machine doesn't matter so much, especially in the long run as it amortizes. In fact, if memory serves, the nonlinear power curve means underclocked machines are actually more power-efficient, by at least a little bit (and the reverse with overclocking)

[@aussieskull9272]

Love the video. A few things I saw you look at. For power, Blue line is how much your factory will use if everything is on at all times, grey is how much you're producing and orange is how much it is using now. Overclocking with the power shards will make the machine use more power, it goes up exponentially the more you overclock it so be careful overclocking stuff.

sneak peak: if you unlock tier3 in the space elevator you can automate your power production. This would be the moment you realize, "there is no way back" 😁. Cant wait to see you satisfaction on satisfatory ❤ tipp: Build everything on foundations

[@-42-47]

Impressive beltwork for a beginner, those 90 degree angles sure are the key for satisfactory satisfaction. A tip about your final material storage area, you don't really need that much resources in the beginning so one container per resource is enough at this point, though one could argue that more is always better =). Now if you're sticking to the current 2 containers per resource, send the resources to the top container first, then link that to the bottom, that way resources will fill up the bottom one first which is more accessible.

You are a breath of fresh air. Very good comments, good vibes. You have done yourself in for though. Satisfactory is a BEAST of a game!

[@jitendra1991]

Get to coal power as soon as possible, that's how you automate power. For every 120 coal/min build 8 coal generators and 3 water extractors. Do an overflow split in the coal line as well as in the water pipeline. Initially the water extractors will need power from your current grid but this coal setup once started will feed itself(once you loop the power lines). This setup will give you 600MW of maintenance free power. 120 coal= 600MW. Best of luck.

[@speeddemon7678]

I recommend having an awesome shop to sink every item, that way you can have the machines constantly running and have a steady supply of points coming in. Also, hold E to automatically pick leaves and such.

[@DrakonFirestone]

Just to help to make a bit more smooth 90 degree turnes - use guidelines to go along with the belt until guidelines makes acute angle, then go back 2 units, put end of the conveyour and then connect it right away with whatever you want to connect with (smelter/constructor/splitter/merger). You will thank me later =D Also ofc great vid, greetings! :D

One thing you could optimize is actually downclocking your miner, smelter and constructor to match the max capacity of the MKI belts (saving power for other stuffs). And when MKII belts are available, switch everything back to 100% power.

[@RittzGames]

i definitely need to do that!

Good episode, I wonder how many more until you have to start building dedicated power stations, power is a cruel mistress 😂

[@phoenixsui]

yep, at least now there are buffers ;D.

Overclocking is very power hungry, since power draw increases polynomially. In fact, underclocking can actually be useful in early game when you're still hand-feeding your power generators. 2 machines at 60% speed take about the same power as 1 machine at 100% speed.

[@BleuSquid]

N.B. the exact calculation has changed a few times over the life of the game. Pay attention to the power draw when you start over/underclocking, if your power budget is tight.

"I have a vast area..." Bwahaaha - oh you sweet summer child. You have no idea what's in your future. Love the video - Keep up the good work.

I think Ronald eats not by holding his mouth open to the sun, but by mimicking a flower and waiting for insects to come to it

Absolutely loving this series. Top tier content!

[@RittzGames]

thank you!

By the way! When you attempt to tame Lizard Doggos, I suggest splitting your Paleberry stack, as if you drop the entire stack, the LD will eat the entire stack in one bite
