Why do you need all that rubber? I get needing a lot, but why make that much, and no plastic? Is your other refinery making plastic in a less efficient way? (I forgot). If so, maybe improve that refineries efficiency?

[@CatalepticHunter]

@@chtechindustries4174 With the right alt recipes (and in this case, they're all pretty good ones) you can cut plastic completely from your production chain. You need a bunch for heatsinks and computers. Having said that, you do still need plastic for buildings and pipes, so I like to put a splitter on a plastic belt and fill up a box.

i've noticed something. Past Kibs does a lot of things and says "Future Kibs will love this" and then future Kibs comes along, sees what past kibs did and says "What did past kibs do?" They need to work on their communication, I've never seen them plan things together.

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

I like how the list implies that you hold your breath throughout the entirety of the construction of the oil refinery. Also, love that sort of QoL for the painting, since going through with the current painting system is not too much less tedious than the old paint gun. _Watching these videos has gotten me tempted to do all the math for my own types of systems doing these things. And that's dangerous. Have to continue resisting it._

[@InservioLetum]

I'm honestly impressed so many people just accepted the tedium and used the gun as intended. I was maybe ONE factory in when I said fuck this! on a biscuit! with feathers! and wrote a macro for my mouse to click once every 175ms while the mouse was moving. The macro was even called FCKPAINTING. You cannot imagine how good it felt to delete that macro when the new customiser blew my mind. xD

Recently went through making a recycled plastic rubber factory with only 1,080 oil and Oh Boy was that rough. Cant imagine having to do double that. Loving the content, Sasisfactory and Skylines!

[@QemeH]

I actually made the discovery in my world that building a factory twice the size is not nearly twice as much hassle. Once you understood the maths and the connections and balance, it kinda doesn't matter if you do it in 4 rows, 8 rows or 10 floors with 8 rows each. Obviously it's more clicking work, but all the hassle of figuring it out and making it work is way less.

[@sumbody694]

I just got done remaking my entire first base and it took me about 75 hours to break down reroute and replan everything and it still feels all hodge podge together. I am not happy where its at for now and im going to move over to this spot in the video and rework my base there its a fucking mess. I watched this video and couldnt believe how cool and big his building was.

[@mjdapp]

When laying foundations I embed cabled up mk1 power connectors at regular intervals. They clip completely inside the adjacent foundation to provide an invisible independent power grid for the hover pack. Very handy when laying out and moving things around and also gives a powered area around the outside.

[@lonelyPorterCH]

I love how his builds take so long, that he has to make himself notes to remember what stuff does^^

[@InservioLetum]

Is it the timespan, do you think? I have the memory capacity of a goldfish made of origami, so.... -- wait what was I saying? LOL but srsly, signs ingame just replace post-its on my screen and dozens of lists on notepad sheets taped to my wall. I assumed with Kibz it was the sheer SCALE that made keeping track impossible, because there literally aren't enough colours in the game to differentiate THAT many pipes, storages, production groups, and distribution ratio's. I actually tried to emulate The Beast and started a planning surface with colour coded zones and lines. Literally ran out of colours hahahaha.

I still have nightmares from last time I tried to build a massive oil refinery. I spent more than 200 hours only on the 7th version. But it used mods so it probably doesn't count (I never finished it)

[@KnHawke]

Here's a QoL tip for ya man: When you do multiple calculations, you can make them more accurate with ( ). At 13.37 where ya crunch numbers for HoR to Fuel, do this (3400/36)/50 If you need to crunch it down further, surround all that with the ( ) and crunch again! Will save you so much grief later on!

[@liiiinder]

or just skip them if its only division and multiplication as they doesnt matter... 3400/36/50 gives the exact same answer...

[@Takrit.]

I really liked that little montage at the end mate. Keep it up.

[@FLEX-on7fu]

3:38 You can't just switch the recipes up because the ratios for residual rubber and plastic aren't the same. However, you can actually get as much plastic as you could get rubber (900 rubber for 300 oil), but you have to make the same setup as rubber, but cut in half so that the rest of the fuel and all that 450 rubber/min goes into another cycle of recycling to make exactly 900 plastic/min. You have to do this because converting polymer resin to rubber is more efficient than converting it to plastic (2:1 as opposed to 3:1) so you have to use the residual rubber in either production chains. If you were to use the residual plastic recipe and simply switch things up like kibbz said, you would get 866.67 plastic/min vs 900/min with residual rubber.

[@EKTurduckin]

I started playing Satisfactory around Christmas (already at 150 hours) and when I first started I was browsing for tutorials and beginners guides and what not and stumbled on your videos. I have to say, you are one of the most entertaining KZbinrs I’ve had the privilege of watching. Since discovering your I have binged all of your season 4/5 (twice now) and gone back to a lot of your season 3 and modded play throughs. Having played the game now for a little while, I am AMAZED at what you build. The “booping” does not do all your hard work justice. Having dealt with building on relatively small scales (compared to you), I can only imagine how tedious a lot of what you do is. Anyways, thank you for the glorious content and your hard work is not unnoticed, even if it is off camera. I look forward to diving into some of the other games you cover.

[@SSBMFAITE]

Learning that Customizer trick is a game changer! Thanks Kibz!

[@dananskidolf]

I've done a few of these with the optimal 1:3 conversion ratio and kinda getting worryingly used to setting it up, though it took a pen and paper to solve the recycling balance the first time around. IIRC the numbers work out nicest if you put in 2160 crude oil (9*240) / min. It's really important to prioritise recycling the rubber and plastic and then overflow them into output to be used, then put another overflow on that to sink any excess. Also, a few fluid buffers can help sort out potential startup issues with fuel build-up before the residual rubber comes through.

[@prabas8190]

15:25 you can feel his descent into madness

[@MarkusTrinks]

I recently figured out that pipeline mk.2 have issues transporting fluids at its max capacity of 600m³/min. They lose around 1-3% of fluid flow so it's not advised to use its full capacity. You can read about this in the Satisfactory wiki in the pipeline article and under the point "current issues". Maybe worth knowing when you will wonder yourself why your machines won't run at 100% efficiency.

[@WheezyCyclist]

You should paint the reactors lime green to accent the blue pipes..... I think a lime green and light blue colour scheme would be perfect for nuclear. It would also just look SOOOO GOOOD

[@MaskedGEEK]

Kibz you're an absolute mad lad. My brain would've collapse into itself and form a new black hole with all the maths you did in this video. I'm still wrapping my old brain around setting up a nuclear power station with 30 reactors in it where the building that contains the reactors also process all radioactive materials into the fuel rods needed, while a sister building further away processes all of the non-radioactive parts needed for the plant which then gets choo'd into the main building.

[@yourethehippopotamus9266]

As a software engineer the "what if I didn't moment hit hard". Every ToDo list I've ever made feels like it has one of those, and I'm probably one of the more thorough people in this industry.

[@jon_j__]

When building mega-refineries, it's such a big and complex job that I prefer to make more than the minimum number of buildings. For each recipe, make sure you have X equal pipes of inputs and X equal pipes of outputs, where each input/output pipe services the same number of machines. Yes, the pipes aren't completely full; yes, the machines are not running at max capacity; and yes, you have 10-20 extra machines; but the decrease in headaches is enormous! Of course, this means that a lot of your layout planning now has to happen in Excel and/or on squared paper... It's amazing how much time you spend playing Satisfactory without the game even open...

[@brohvakiindova4452]

a huge amount of it boils down to satisfactory missing a basic statistic menu or a map like the interactive one online, it's really a shame that they leave such fundamentals to the playerbase to solve I've had a big break in my main save and I didn't document every closed factories in/outputs and especially not the over/underclocking so even with the interactive map it's hard to get an overview of what's exactly done where

[@jon_j__]

@@brohvakiindova4452 I agree, it's a bit of a nightmare trying to figure out what's happening if you haven't been into a factory in ages. I have a similar issue with my starting factories, producing iron and copper stuff - I'm going to have to basically rebuild them if I want to upgrade the miners to Mk2 or Mk3. Annoyingly, I had documented a lot of things in Update 4 using modded signs ("RSS"), but those signs disappeared in the mod update. For now, I'm sticking to the vanilla signs for documentation, in the hope that they will be upgraded properly in future versions. I think my preferred solution would be to have something like the light switch that sets the recipe and clock speed for all connected buildings. Maybe also display other useful info like how many production buildings are connected, how much power they're using, their average efficiency, etc. ("10 smelters producing iron ingots at 50% clock speed using X MW running at 99% efficiency".) This would allow you to build a true control room.

[@brohvakiindova4452]

@@jon_j__ the whole first person controlled building, looking at machines etc. makes the game really time consuming if you don't have everything perfectly planned and documented it's sci fi as hell but we have to unlock the map with a radar tower and can't remote control anything nor look into any production data it's cool that the devs are constantly working on the game but I'd really appreciate it if their focus would be more on getting QOL stuff up I know it sounds completely salty but it's basically just that I love the game but I'm ending up kind of "burned out" trying to build some basic sh*t like train tracks instead of achieving anything satis...factory ;D

[@brunothehumble]

i've been beating myself against the wall doing the painting of the pipes for my factories. i'm glad i'm not the only one that does the painting and now this is gonna make it so much easier.

[@brohvakiindova4452]

would be cool if there was a standard option to color the pipe by fluid content you can set up however you like so once a fluid hit the pipe it'll color them all, would also make it very obvious if you messed up a connection OR also cool: (partially) transparent pipes correctly showing capacity too

[@shredder354]

just a little tip about using the 600 pipes. I don't know if they have changed this, but the fluids have a weird sloshing effect when traveling long distances. Because of this you will never be able to get a full 600 through the mk2 pipes at really long distance. plenty of methods to get around this using trains to transfer or just make sure you never send more than about 550 through the pipes at a time!

This seems like the best place to ask. Is it possible to hook up machines to pipes in a manifold configuration?

I know you’d have to space it out and probably also use several valves to isolate machines so they don’t back up, but it seems like it would be efficient.
