Early Game Constructors Blueprint - Compact, Clean, & Tileable - Mk.1 BP - Satisfactory 1.0

[@_CJ_]

I have to say that so far you have the best tips and explanation of those small early things. Easy to follow, no bs, straight to the thing. I also like 4x more :) maybe version on mk2 designer will be better. I just watched previous tutorial and tips for early game and it is awesome. Thank you! :)

[@Krydax8]

You're welcome! Glad it's helpful :)

[@phacocherman]

At 12:20 you can probably reduce the clipping of the lift with the constructor by connecting the lift from top to bottom instead. The starting point of the lift is always a set distance from whatever you click first but it can be closer to the end point. So here, you click down first which puts it a little closer to the constructor than it needs to be. Really neat designs ! thanks for sharing them :)

[@CyborgSPIKE]

already finished the smelter build you did before. works amazing. now just finished the constructor build. a saturday well spent!

[@LaustinSpayce]

This one and your previous video on using blueprints have been invaluable. Thanks so much for sharing. Next time I play, I’ll definitely be making these machines, as I have a lot more complex stuff to be making now!

[@TheBorgey]

Just a tip for when you were lost if you had a belt connected or not, check the bottom of the "output/input" you'll see the base of the belt that is connected.

[@KevHCloud]

I don't normally go for videos like this, like to figure out my own ways etc but this and the smelter compact are really neat and I think I'm going to incorporate them into my build. looking forward to seeeing how you tackled Assemblers.

[@0N3BL00Dc]

This is what i was waiting for!!! ty for the tutorial!

[@gamingveteran2023]

I'm getting back into the game myself. It's a lot of relearning and thinking outside the box. The Smelter video helped me a lot and earned a Sub. Nice pace, explanation, and presentation. Keep it going, Bud!

[@Krydax8]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful for you.

[@albertakitesurfer]

Nice video, i built similar buildings with walls and conveyor wall input and outputs. With Mark 2 designer i fit 14x smelters, 10x constructors, 8x assemblers, 6x foundries

[@Dark_shadow4056]

heres a build tip if you want them stacked. constructor on bottom then do the normal way to do the splitters and mergers then put another splitter and merger on top of them. you then put a frame foundation lined up with the edge and place a constructor lined up with the splitter. now after that you press ctrl on the edge of constructor the holo will be red. Press h to lock and then you can place it and you now have clean stacked 8 or if mk2 10 constructors. just realized how rammabley my thing was 1 do all start steps where it has the constructors and belts done 2 add a second layer of mergers and splitters 3 get frame foundation and place it 3 high it should perfectly align with no or minimal clipping in a mk2 not sure about mk 1(just tried and it works with mk 1 perfectly) 4 get a constructor placed on top of the frame 5 press ctrl and h to align up with splitters and remove the 1st used to line it up best done on the edge of the bp 6 press ctrl on the new constructor it will have a red holo press h and place it 7 do step 6 till all are placed and connect lifts and done was inspired to play around with it by your vids so thx

[@Mark-sr3tk]

Thanks. Best explanation of the blueprint designer I've ever seen.

[@LabTech41]

I get that for some parts of your factory, having small segments is best, but sometimes the segments you want to make are so big that only having the current blueprint sizes is impractical, like anything involving refineries.

[@Krydax8]

Yes and no. I made a refineries x3 BP and just finished my 20GW turbofuel factory just using those. Yeah I had to paste 5 of them together, but hooking up 5 BPs together takes a pretty small amount of time, tbh. Because all the manifolds and power are already hooked up. So you're only hooking up 1 belt and maybe 1 or 2 pipes and the power pole for each, and you're done. So even for 15 refineries, you're talking only 15 clicks or whatever. That being said, yeah having the bigger BPs is nice, for example, fuel power gens you can only do 1x at a time in a mk1 BP, whereas with some finagleing, you can do 4x in a mk2!

[@spencereades]

I'm certain that you can connect a lift to the end of the merger line, albeit with some minor clipping. Maybe if you lay down the lift first, then nudge the merger into it?

[@BROADBANNED]

Another valuable video. Thanks so much

[@DerShooster]

Awesome work! Thank you

[@nickbrown5296]

Awesome video love the designs.

[@spaceeDolphin]

thanks Krydax helps alot

[@Krydax8]

Thanks Jace helps alot

[@raymc5699]

Perfect!

[@AdrianCubed]

At 10:30ish timing. You CAN fit a lift. Use a foundation and place a floor hole, snap the lift to that merger and build.

[@Krydax8]

I played with it, and yeah, you can make it work. I may release a v2 of the constructors BP someday :D

[@shadzsta]

cheers :) - this is definitely helping thanks

[@azofshadowmore]

I will have to give this a try but spacing it out so nothing clips. Can't stand constructors touch each other because of the moving parts hitting into each other. Great idea though.

[@Robke250]

So would you use all of these for the same product or can you run different items mixed ?

[@MayankMrug]

Thanks again, I prefer the 4x version though

[@Krydax8]

Yeah the 4x is a lot cleaner visually. They are all on the BP site now, link in the description!

[@NozdormuFun]

Can i just download your endgame save, see factory and quit a game? What a point to use other people's constructions in this type of games

[@ipnade]

I think you're missing the point

[@yosharian]

You didn't explain how to do the vertical painted beams?

[@Krydax8]

Holy crap I knew I missed something. They're just two meters tall. You can see the placement location in the video. And the one where you put the wall-mount to connect through the build is 4 meters tall.

[@yosharian]

@@Krydax8 It's not the placement that's the issue, it's getting them oriented vertically. I managed to do it using the diagonal placement setting.

[@Krydax8]

@@yosharian oh. Just the normal setting works fine to go straight up. You just have to stand at a 45 degree angle. It's weird. If you're standing in a cardinal direction from where you're building, it likes to lay flat

[@yosharian]

@@Krydax8 Oh I see.

[@Skidd007]

I notice you set all these up with a manifolds, does this cause issues in late game with production?

[@Krydax8]

@@Skidd007 not at all. Manifolds work fine, you just give it a few minutes to fill up the buffers!

[@Krydax8]

@@Skidd007 unless there's something new or different with mk6 belts. But I've never heard of manifolds causing problems!

[@jjrulez1596]

to add to what Krydax said, the main difference between manifolds and load balancers/balancing is just startup time, and the fact you need to let buffers fill, so maybe don't do manifolds with your nuclear power (cause the radioactive material on the belts), but like, for production lines it's a matter of space vs time. load balancing takes space, but when you start your factory everything starts at once, whereas manifolds take less space, but you have to give it a while to get started (depending on the line could be upto 30min-1hr)

[@novagaming4970]

when do I know to upgrade my belt? like If the machine only makes 30 or sth things thn I'l use a mk1 cause it doesn't exceed the limit of 60, am I missing sth?

[@Krydax8]

well you wouldn't need to upgrade the lifts past mk1 if the machines don't make/use >60 of something, that is correct. The belts along the manifold though will carry the materials for ALL the smelters, so those need to be upgraded.

[@Xynrati]

lift issue around 10:00 - you can solve this by preplacing a floor hole closer to the merger, or even manually nudging the lift closer and placing a belt (since it won't autoconnect).

[@Krydax8]

I'll have to try that out, that's an interesting idea!

[@michaelhunschag2430]

nice blueprint but Mk.4 belts are not Really Early Game

[@Krydax8]

Yeah you can build this with mk3 belts too. That part is irrelevant to the build so you dont need to worry. I have download links for mk3 belts as well as mk4. And by the time you have the blueprint designer, you have steel, so you should have mk3.
