This is amazing. You have some of the best build tips I have seen for Curves and Roads

[@Mgsgenesis]

Thanks man

[@mauro8151]

Definitely the best guide about roads, super clear to follow along. Please keep doing Satisfactory tutorials, you earned a new subscriber

[@Mgsgenesis]

Thankyou for the support, anything specific you'd like a tutorial on?

[@durazellpcgaming]

Have to say. You did a fantastic job with this tutorial. Very easy to follow and understand. Not so fast, that I had to keep rewinding. Thank you for the great vid.

[@Mgsgenesis]

Glad it helped :) thanks for the feedback.

[@CaseyRamo]

Awesome design ideas. Please make more for transportation and logistics design options videos. I’ll definitely subscribe for those.

[@Mgsgenesis]

Will try too :) thanks for support

[@MeMolson]

Great Job! I want to see your factory with all your roads!

[@Mgsgenesis]

Thanks, i plan to do a new tour video soon. You can see alot of my builds on reddit. www.reddit.com/u/MgsGenesis?

[@BCVISION_]

Hey, when you’re doing curved roads, are you able to get the road to connect to the world grid? eg: starting a straight road on world grid, then creating a curved road and finishing with a straight road.

[@Mgsgenesis]

In theory as long as its a 90° turn then i cant see why not

[@halbouma6720]

Thanks for the tips! I think you only need to put down one frame for the sidewalks though. The zooping will keep the rest at the same level. You could then delete the first frame and redo it (I always like to minimize object count).

[@Mgsgenesis]

i get that, everyone has their preference :)

[@keineangabe8993]

I really like how the slight elevated walkway looks with the frame foundation as opposed to the small concrete pillar road barrier i use up to now. However i wonder if there is any way to make it work with Ramps aswell for the ups and download in the roads?

[@Mgsgenesis]

I have a foot path in the middle of the roads that have my train support beams on, and i have have it elevated. Its hard to put it at the sides of the roads though, because what you really need is ramped half foundations

[@mrxgame386]

Some great tips here bro, it's a big help

[@Mgsgenesis]

Thanks man

[@johnb0815]

great video, I will definitely use some of these tips. But your way of building a road barrier using beams is weird. Why do you place multiple beams on the same foundation and then use the short beams to connect them? All the beams attached to the same foundation are in a straight line anyways, aren't they? so one beam on the corner of every foundation would be enough.

[@Mgsgenesis]

I place multiple beams down when doing the curves, if you place the beam connection point from corner to corner of the foundation than it wouldnt curve with the turn but me more diagonal to the turn if that makes sense

[@lionellosanti]

How do you rotate the foundation first? When it turns green. I can't find any ctrl/shift/alt combination to do that.

[@Mgsgenesis]

Best is check your key bindings in settings first, but if the foundations are aligned then you should be able hold ctrl and spin the foundation

[@lionellosanti]

​@@MgsgenesisUnfortunately when rotating a foundation placed next to another foundation only rotates by 45 degrees. Holding or releasing CTRL doesn't change anything :(

Your welcome, do you show off your world on reddit? Would love to see it?!

[@alexserrano6614]

@@Mgsgenesis Unfortunately no, I don’t have Reddit. Also My world need a lot of work. Bought a lot of nice stuff from the Awesome Shop am I’m slowly improving. Looking forward for more vids.

[@LemurMaster]

How do you do the selective dismantle? You remove a bunch of the beams from that beam curve segment, but don't seem to accidentally select the foundations of the road. How's that work?

[@Mgsgenesis]

While in Mass Dismantle mode, holding ‘Mouse Button 4’ (side button) will only keep either the most common, or the first, building type selected for dismantle

[@TAiiNE]

I always wondered... is it a country thing? To put lines down the center of the lane instead of using them to divide the lanes?

[@Mgsgenesis]

It depends on the road, normal roads will have lines in the middle to seperate them, Duel carriage ways will have barriers between them to seperate them.

[@SkySentientBeing]

These are great, thank you. Why doesn't the game just make adding curves easier rather than making us jump through hoops. Seems like a wasted opportunity.

[@Mgsgenesis]

True, could always use the mod to get the huge blueprint machine, create it once on there and have it always as a blueprint :)

[@jacovanderschaaf3044]

i find that the road that are made with just 2 foundation good enough for small trucks, but for big truck i use 1 and 1 walkway. but i cant get the curving to work when its 1 foundations and 1/3 of foundation wide. and idea about that? so its 1 foundatation, then placed a catwalk, and place a foundation in the first foundations to make it 1 catwalk wider.

[@Mgsgenesis]

My roads i use are 1 and 1/3, When it came to the corners, i placed the foundations down as if i was doing a 2 wide corner, i than placed down a catwalk on top of the fondation (as you would if you wanted to make half a foundation) i than placed a new foundation that lined up with the catwalk than leveled it all off. If that makes any sense, if not i can try make a short video of it

[@jacovanderschaaf3044]

@@Mgsgenesis i am using the catwalk idea were you can turn it every time to left or right, but because you can only connect foundations to next foundations it become to wide. so what building are 6 catwalk wide and remove the 4 in the middle, to get the 1 and 1/3 foundation wide, but when i start the corners, i get these wierd foundations corners sticking out. i gues i can always hide it later when i place piller or somthing that would hide these corner founsdations?

[@jacovanderschaaf3044]

@@Mgsgenesis the problem lies with the outer edge of the foundations, all the foundations that on the inside do not have problem.

[@Mgsgenesis]

I think im undetstanding you, im not sure how to fix that right now, but can look into when i go on satisfactory next, but using beams or pillers to hide it could be an idea.

Just amazing .

[@Keilnoth]

Awesome tips!

[@Mgsgenesis]

Thanks man

[@danielpotts1172]

This actually doesn't seem to work anymore...Can't get Foundations to lap over the curve of the Quarter Pipe, just screams about overlapping clearance, not sure if something has changed.

[@Mgsgenesis]

What foundations or walls are you using? Still works for me, so unsure if different issue.

[@danielpotts1172]

@@Mgsgenesis Everything is the same with one exception, that i'm using a 4m tall Frame, so the "Frame Foundation" as oppose to the "Frame Floor" as i'm not on a dead straight floor like you :D But I ended up NOT removing the Walkway lineup like you did, and I actually used that to snap it in instead of the Frame Foundation and for whatever reason it really didn't like it. I built 2 Walkways across (One for edging half a foundation over, the 2nd to use after removing the first to line up the main Foundation "road")...it works and not too much of an inconvenience. Once it's lined up, I seem to be able to Zoop the rest...very weird!

[@Mgsgenesis]

Ah i get you, sometimes it doeant like it when the 2 foundations aline perfectly; there has to be a slight raise in one of the foundations for it to count as clipping,

[@Imm0rtalVJ]

Wow how do you come up with so many ideas

[@Mgsgenesis]

Just trail and error really until something works :)

[@bENNQ111]

Noice video mate!

[@kinsey304]

I feel in an update they will add road bending or platform bending.

[@Mgsgenesis]

Would be great, but i feel they have bigger things to think about than roads and that.

[@buddhabelly7961]

I’m new to the game. Are you using a mod or something? How do you curve?

[@Mgsgenesis]

No mods all vanilla :)

[@buddhabelly7961]

I figured it out and you had explained it in this video. I just had to rewatch and listen. Thanks 👍🏻

[@Mgsgenesis]

No problem man, i would have explained just didnt have great signal at the time.. But glad you figured it out :)

[@heavycoatgames]

The Ctrl thing never worked with me, do I have to enable it?

[@Mgsgenesis]

I'd press esc, open options, and look at your controls to see if its been changed to something else.

[@Mgsgenesis]

Left Ctrl Build gun Snap To Guide Lines / Toggle Mass Dismantle

[@heavycoatgames]

@@Mgsgenesis I'll check it but I've never rebind anything. The mass dismantle works fine, same for the snap. What it never worked is the fine rotation

[@Mgsgenesis]

Hmm, weird, have you tried on different foundations?

[@heavycoatgames]

@@Mgsgenesis yes, tried with many machineries, walls, foundations and so on. Tried many times and then I thought this was a mod, but couldn't find any mod for this. Even tried verifying the game files and perform a clean installation. Dunno what to think XD

[@anthelm114]

Don't try to do this in survival. You gonna waste 10 hours, give up, and play another game. This must be done with creative mods.

[@Mgsgenesis]

Wrong, its all done in survival, Doesnt take that long once you know how, But then again i have put in over 1000 hours of game play! The game aint hard, and with zoop you can do things quickly. If you cant do it quick, doesnt mean others cant!

I'd say, dont do this until tier 7 in survival. Aiming for beauty before Miners Mk3 and Belts Mk5 will frustrate you, since you'll probably wan't to refactor a lot after you get to those top tier tools

[@Mgsgenesis]

@ be a waste of time doing it after Tier 7, i havent unlockes teir 7 and i have no issue with needing MK3 stuff. If you aim to play to produce 100% efficiency than yeah this may not be for you till teir 7.
