Build a Dome in Satisfactory 1.0!

[@watchwood]

I would do the inside fill on a square grid, and just fill in around the edges as needed.

[@Anita95_original]

You know a circle can circumscribe a square??? Fill your circle with a square and some radial foundations and you are done. No messy clipping/snapping in the middle…

[@MorshuArtsInc]

While that is true, the storage containers can't be rotated freely, but rather align with the platform they're placed on, so in this specific case the radial placement is better. Though I must say a lot of the clipping could have been reduced by using the half-width foundations.

[@YanniCooper]

Instead of going into the build menu over and over, just click the middle mouse button while you're looking at a thing to start building that thing (this can be easier from the dismantle menu)! Also, for building the center part, assuming you're not trying for radial alignment for machines, I'd recommend building the center cross like you did, but fill as much of the center using that alignment, right up to the outer ring. Then fill in any gaps by doing a single foundation in from the outer ring (or, after you finish the catwalk ring, just zoop every foundation 2 when you build your ring.) This will make it easy to line machines up on the floor inside your dome!

What you showed doesn't look at all like the thumbnail. 👎

[@SidleScout]

I'm pretty new to the YT arena and thought I'd just pop an AI generated image of a dome up as a thumbnail. I definitely didn't intend to mislead, but I've learned and will use screenshots from now on! 😊 Thanks for the comment!

[@PhlegmBaller]

interesting video. Any plans to show us how the dome in the thunbnail was made?

[@anotherd]

Dismantle filter G great tip :p

[@N0W3P]

Solid tutorial. Nice work!

[@rhael42]

How did all these squares make a circle?!

[@JonatanRaven]

15:42 For those who are only interested in the actual dome construction and not the circular structure beneath it.

[@MarkRiley-h3x]

Must have taken ages to work all this out, hell of a job 😊

[@SidleScout]

It took awhile, yes. Thanks, Mark!

[@stevensmith797]

I use this same method for circles , but I dont do the floor the same , I use a grid (unless I want to put things in a circle inside ) , no clipping on the floor eccept at the outer ring

[@KnightInWhite93]

Great video! But omg why you don't use middle mouse button to copy the building and open the menu?! Infinite nudge mod probably is very helpful on placing buildings in the center of the dome. Really monotonous work. I wonder if we could blueprint bits of it somehow.

[@SidleScout]

Bad habits from when I started--I got used to quickly tapping 'q' and then selecting what I wanted. I use middle mouse sometimes when I remember, but usually my muscle memory takes over. It has a bonus side benefit of being good for showing people on the video what you are selecting to build with. As for blueprints, I'll try to start a blueprint repository, soon, when I find some time :)

[@nightfire7335]

Great guide. Well edited, educational, and to the point. Hope to see more! Subbed. P.s try not to clickbait (I didn’t even notice it was until I saw that other guys comment but yea it’s true.)

[@tehNashty]

I like the star patterns that Fixsit metal makes.

[@ivocanevo]

And that's how you know you're addicted. 😊

[@tehNashty]

No! You're addicted! :P Well...maybe I have a problem...

FYI they are NOT making what is in the thumbnail. Instead they take the first 16 minutes showing how to make a circle, then the last 3 on the ramp foundations instead of the flat ones to fill in the roof. Though this isn't a dome. A dome is the upper half of a hallow sphere, a.k.a what their thumbnail shows. What is actually shown here is called a shallow circular tapered roof. So if you were sitting here waiting to see how a dome is made like I was, well just saving you the time. Nothing against SidleScout, but my biggest advice is say it as it is and if you're showing something, show it, and not waste 90% of the video on setup. If we are looking on how to make a dome, good chance we know how to do a circle. No need for 16 minutes to show how to make and wall in a circle and placing stuff like storage containers... then less then 3 minutes snapping ramped foundations to fulfill the whole point of the video. Last advice, don't use clickbait thumbnails, show off what you have actually built in the video.

[@chaosbouncy]

I’d be interested in seeing a video about the dome you used in the thumbnail. This is nothing like that.

[@ivocanevo]

1:51 circle base 15:40 start of dome build It doesn't look anything like the thumbnail.

Check out the curved foundations mod.
