AMAZING Worldwide Highway Network In Satisfactory!

[@moose8712]

As someone who cares genuinely more about the aesthetic of a factory than the efficiency but struggles with design & making stuff look great, let alone getting started with designing, watching your content over the last few days has been a really big game changer for me. Thanks for doing what you do and keep up the great work :D

[@KyloBuilds]

Thanks for the very kind words! Happy to see people finding these videos helpful!

[@Tjocksmocken]

Really love this highway. Not too complicated, still looking great

[@jonboy1023]

Great video, love the setup! I don't like "borrowing" others blueprints so I created my own following a similar design. Ran into some issues I wanted to ask you about. 1. Do you run two total trains on the highway, one in each direction based on the lanes? If so, are two lanes on the same side intended to be a loop? 2. How do you branch off the highway to other train stations? I made an exit ramp by hand but it looks kinda messy and not sure if it will even work. Looking forward to more videos!

[@Selgan117]

Love this video! Can you show us how to deal with changes in elevation? It's the one thing I can't figure out how to do neatly. Thanks!

[@AlexHaan]

Looks really nice! Curves and staying on world grid means you can only do 90 degree turns. Or maybe combinations of reverse corners with diagonals in between. I think I myself would use other methods to connect two separate sections, with the connection not being on world grid.

[@baddog101]

two 45 degree turns is how i do mine so it's not just all 90 turns

[@OddlyAggressiveHandshake]

60 secs in, I have my first question. “Once you’ve determined the height you need for your highway, start with a little platform.” How does one determine the height?

[@CGADragon]

I know you said you didn't want to include logistics, but you could place your fastest belts in those walkways too rude faster on foot.

[@KyloBuilds]

Some people have brought that up in the streams, and the short answer is the belts still clip a little through the top on the foundation, and I just don’t like the look

[@BasementGAS]

I did exactly the same thing. A lot higher to avoid having to make so many curves around obstacles and only with one train line. BUT, the train railway does not work correctly when testing it. The connections from the blueprints even though they look connected are not. Have you tested this and what would be your solution? I had to delete all the rails and redo them.

[@KyloBuilds]

Things like rails, belts, power lines, do not connect with blueprints. You have to connect all those manually.

[@m2020eg]

Where is the link for the video building the blueprints ? :)

[@Siltti]

Great builds and took some notes to myself. One question/note: isn't the power pole unnecessary in the blueprint because power can be distributed via rails also?

[@KyloBuilds]

Power lines are for the street lights.

[@Siltti]

@ D'uh! Ofc. Thanks for the reply. Did not think of that for some reason 🤷‍♂️

[@jonny6133]

Is there a real advantage on having 2 railways in each direction ?

[@KyloBuilds]

right now, im not 100% sure, but I am going to be testing to see if I can use the 2nd ones as an overflow. I would need a lot of trains to see the benefit. I think the main advantage will be entering roundabouts, as there will be 2 ways to go every direction, so the path signals should allow 2 trains in theory.

[@Karstark84]

very nice, have you done any blueprinting on ramps? I find getting curves to work with ramps a true pain.

[@KyloBuilds]

I made the HWY at sea level for that exact reason to not change in elevation. You cant place the barriers on ramps like you can with pillars/railing. The middle of the map that is MUCH higher will have its own rail network that will connect VIA Drones/vertical bus system for end game. Side note- Curves and ramps are a massive pain, and I dont really want/need to involve myself as of now with that mess lol. Maybe in the future!

[@garstigerganter8943]

can any1 tell me what trucks are good for? because to me it seems like they are worse than trains in every aspect but seems like i am missing something here

[@KyloBuilds]

They require less setup, but many times trains are "better" than trucks.

[@VincentTheWordsmith]

How did you lower the floors by pixels? Is that something Satisfactory has built in, or did you use a mod?

[@KyloBuilds]

Built in, I will be making a video about it soon!

[@VincentTheWordsmith]

@@KyloBuilds dope, I'll keep an eye out. I was able to make the curve with the foundations, but my 1×5 placement looks really rough, lol.

[@Etarlam]

@@VincentTheWordsmith Until you can see it in his video, a short explanation: Set a marker foundation next to the foundation you want lower. build a small metal pillar (don't know if it works with concrete pillar) on the marker foundation at the edge between both, but fully on the marker. remove marker. build second pillar below first pillar. use catwalk interception on pillar and eyeball it a few pixel lower than the foundation you want to have lower. build second catwalk nex to first. remove foundation and rebuild it snapping to the catwalks. hf

[@VincentTheWordsmith]

@Etarlam thanks, friend!

[@Unstator]

infinite nudge mod would have helped here as it can do vertical nudging

[@Vitalsyx]

Can you do a video on how to build a clean train blueprint? The blueprint its self

[@Brenryz]

whats taking him so long

[@NickBair316]

just curious why is being on the world grid a big deal?

[@chindiesel7404]

It ensures all your buildings will properly align. When you build off these tracks, the factory will also be on the world grid as a result. Makes connecting several factories together always align perfectly

[@gunjitkumar]

It's just optimization thingy with a mix of perfectionism. It basically lines up your foundation in cardinal directions N,S,E and W, so it makes it easy to calculate and control direction your factory or buildings would be facing

[@Unstator]

It's nice but not a big deal, it only takes a min to get back aligned on the world grid. That's just his method.

[@KyloBuilds]

In response to a few people here- I just like everything lining up 100%, another reason is other methods can be fixed with beams and such which takes more time and is not 100% straight (that would bug the hell outa me), and the aesthetic of the curves is also to my liking 😁😁

[@ypa0316]

So the blueprint are behind pay walls to wao this is the payment for some views and a follow

[@W1CKER777]

If your lights switches control the whole world you’re not using switches and breakers properly.

[@owenmullinger2264]

he means if you change the light code in the switch setting, it'll be the same code through all of them. like i have a custom purple in mine, Every time I load a new light switch it's already there...

[@anthonymc4600]

Nice but I prefer my highway to look realistic, not floating in the air. I spend dozens of hours building real world looking framework and concrete pillars to hold it up

[@Unstator]

I am pretty sure he is going to add supports in his world like he said he just got done building the mainroad.

[@iWigz]

can you upload it to your channel, i wanna see! :D so nice to look at realistic highways being built on satisfactory

[@KyloBuilds]

Thats going to be a follow up video! I haven't designed the support blueprints yet! It will 100% have supports once I get them made tho!

[@Hashy1000]

WHY is the world grid so important, you can make factories like everyone elsein the game on the same grid, well done

[@blaqnycvids5959]

Benefit of world grid means that you can have a factory on one side of the world and a factory on the other side of the world, and they will always be able to link to each other without any weirdness or issues.

[@lesferguson7020]

I have often started a factory, then popped another one nearby, then later on decided I would like to connect them together. Then I get annoyed that they don't line up and my bridges etc are just a little bit out and twisted. Then I say to myself 'if only I had used the world grid!'. Then I continue making my spaghetti connections.

[@TheBloodrian]

I used to have my own world grid before they implemented it. I was building long stripe of platforms just to make sure my factories align

[@lupcu100]

This is complete nonsense. 3 different angles of blueprint could have been made for the corners. Also, a simple process like taking the roads out of the world is very repulsive. What should be there are train and vehicle roads that extend to the factories in the world. Even the pipes and belts added to these roads would be functional. An unnecessary effort made for the content.

[@donkarnage6986]

This is sad.. why is everyon using blueprints.. thats cheating, it so easy so download other peoplesa works This video sucks because of you using the cheating system

[@lesferguson7020]

It's a feature of the game. There is no cheat. If you want to do your own thing with no assistance from anyone else, then you are free to do that.

[@iBangAPES]

im guessing you haven't completed phase 1. blueprints ain't cheating but a QoL

[@nopejustnope]

This take is so hot it got burned to shreds
