Maybe you should consider adding "Rewire the entire factory" to your to- do list? you've got a main breaker room with only 2 things hooked up in it, and as we just saw a lot of your wiring is a mess. Re-doing it might be a good idea.

yeah, there's enough things like that, imo, there's already kinda that with nuclear waste, since you can't really get rid of it you can just stockpile it, so you'll always have to do something if you play long enough.

[@blanana_m]

I hope they add alarms in the future that go off if power drops or a line fills up

[@anteshell]

Yes. Monitoring probes for belts and powerlines to detect different values such as boolean on/off, throughput, amount of power, etc, and then a monitor block to do stuff with those values. Alarms would be one thing and automating things another, for example automatically cutting the power from non-critical operations when certain conditions are met. We definitely need way more logic stuff than just the smart filter.

[@ImKibitz]

TRUE!!!! Or like a light switchboard so an 'If X then Light turns Red' type thing

[@skilz8098]

They already do. When things stop working and you have backups or tripped breakers or brown outs, you'll know. That's your alarm that something is wrong!

[@TheConjurersTower]

You know, one of the most convenient features from Factorio was the ability to set up alarms based on stockpiles/throughput that would go off whenever anything fell out of balance. Wish something like that was available in Satisfactory.

[@TheFelmaster]

I know right? I started as a Satisfactory player, about a 1000 hours later I tried Factorio and was blown away by some of the little details. Satisfactory will never have the big stuff like Factorio style construction bots, but logic based alarms and a smart merger would be amazing.

[@onerxowns2202]

It is, he did not use that function

[@cheetodust8051]

That alarm system literally saved me from my whole power grid blowing. I had it set up to read inventory count on solid fuel and suddenly as I was playing, I hear an alarm. Gave me enough time to get nuclear setup before running out!

[@JakeSig]

54 minutes to fix a nuclear power plant sounds like a disaster film

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

It makes sense that the system started charging as you managed the drones by hand. Once you loaded those first two drone ports, the uranium started to go, and that was the main issue - your system had thousands of sulfur backed up in it, since most of it is transported by train and only a little bit by drone, and only a few uranium per minute overall coming through it. Once the first two drones were online, the production started again on the plutonium rods, which let a couple nuclear plants kick back online. So, when the machines in the factory are mostly at a lull, it charges for a moment. The main thing is that I think you need some more reliable and completely disconnected power for the plutonium rod production. If you don't do that, then you're going to have some serious issues. Something like setting up a few fuel plants or even coal plants in the back of the place and having them able to set the whole thing running - with a switch there, they can simply detach from the rest of the grid and work unimpeded by fuse failures. Once the plants come back online, then it can reconnect and likely send the on-site power back into a standby mode (unfortunately that's only manageable by hand but just turn them all on first thing and it would be fine). Dunno if you want a self-sufficient fuel processing plant or just some coal slapped into place for it, though.

[@aggiedudesa9206]

The panic right after finding this on on the live stream was great content. Definitely worth looking up the vod yall.

[@marcus_w0]

That's why we need logic in this game. We need throughput counters and triggers and a way to trigger alarms, when a threshold has fallen below. Yes - there's mods. But I want it in vanilla.

[@Xdgvy]

working in a factory in real life (albeit a butter factory, where the consequences are a little less severe), I can say this was a pretty accurate representation of when things go wrong on an industrial scale.

[@satibel]

yeah, though I wouldn't want literal tons of cream everywhere, imagine the smell after a week. and the "oh this was this wire that was unplugged, I spent 10 hours to find it, it'll be 10000 bucks" is pretty accurate.

[@ct7059]

@@satibel Pretty much. We once had a cream tsunami, when the boiler broke while both operators where out of the room (long story about how one equals the other). The room was covered in about 6000litres of cream. It took a fair while to clean, cost a fortune, and was all caused by a single bolt in the boiler failing.

[@johnp1806]

@@satibel 10k is a low value for 10 hours depending on your manufacturing. I work in automotive manufacturing as a technician--I've worked sites that had a $34,000 per minute product loss if we brought the whole facility down with a hard stop.

[@satibel]

@@johnp1806 I mean the billed price for the fix. though yeah, for some places it can be a very high cost if they have to close shop even for an hour, so someone who can fix it fast is very valuable. also in this hypothetical scenario it might only be a preventive measure or working on redundant systems.

[@Kr0noZ]

@@satibel Yep, the place I work at has a machine that, if completely stopped for long enough, takes about 1 hour to even get up to temperature again so it can start up, and the first 10 minutes of line speed production are going to the trash immediately because until everything has settled in the quality will fluctuate to the point where some of it will cause stoppages downstream in the processing. What do we make? Corrugated board packaging xD Our plant manager is always rather grumpy when that happens...

Kibs, you need to build a gargantuan structure that is ONLY dedicated to power storage, you know, to buy you more time to make your grid bounce back. Also, you need locations to store emergency batteries at every port that you have to manually feed during these crises.

you could build a battery backup per building, so the first one you would have to build is the backup for the uranium waste processing. in my world it has saved me many times when i forget to plug something in or if i did the calculations wrong.

[@mikeyvee128]

Really like this video. It had a real sense of urgency.

[@Vortama]

I'm not sure if it's been fixed in updated 6, but as of update 5 the battery consumption rate of drones was bugged. When you're far away from them they consume more batteries than indicated, some sort of stack buffering bug.

[@Jaryd7]

What you need is a power switch to set you factory into a „self preservation“ mode. Flick one switch and everything not connected to power production turns off. But then I would imagine the wiring for that would be horrible

[@beerforlife32]

With signs you can lable everything and then it's not really difficult to build. You just build a vertical beam and then on each side you can stack several power lines above each other.

[@dogtherevenger9541]

Add a casual skyscraper full of batteries and add a hyperspeed emergency shipping routes for resources. I mean like enclosed loops of trains (that are on their own power grid) or drones (that would also be on their own grid). Oh and emergency coal plants!

How about an automated alarm system like, having an overflow splitter on the waste line running to a drone port (including separte storage for batteries) which sends the waste to your main base, or another place you visiting quite often, if you see the waste there and/or its radiated, you know you have a problem.

I wonder if some adjustments were made to fluid lift heights in update 6, don't remember reading anything about it but I had a somewhat similar issue: As prep for U6 I had built a nuclear setup to replace my oil power (which was at the spire coast), I've had it running in U5 for several hours without any issues or buildup. However in U6 waste processing wasn't working and I found the issue to be the nitric acid production not getting any water due to not enough headlift, the fix was ofc. simple: just add a pump on the pipe, but something seemed to have changed with U6.

[@bluestar3144]

I built a massive tower that contains power switches and a ton of power storages. I built 2 of these at the 2 stone pillars at the waterfall at the crater lakes. I built it so if there was a power failure I could have charged batteries that I could activate with a flip of a switch. It also allowed me to cut off backup power if needed.

[@turnerdeedo4633]

Funny timing for this video, because I just had a similar disaster nearly happen in my world. I was just minding my own business, working on turbo motor production when I noticed that many of my trains are showing the flashy exclamation mark of disaster. Including ones that deliver compacted coal to my turbofuel power plant. Oh no... If the refinery ran out of compacted coal, my whole power grid would shut down. So I quickly went and fixed the problem, and luckily one of the trains caught in the traffic jam had a full load of coal to unload, so nothing bad happened. It would have been very bad if I had been AFK when this happened. Oh, and by the way, I have a video idea: Back up your save, then intentionally cause the absolute worst-case scenario for your factory. Ran out of batteries, the nuclear plant completely full of waste and shut down, train traffic jams, etc. Then try to restart the whole thing. As this video and others demonstrate, you need good backup systems to get everything un-screwed up. This would be a good opportunity to test those backups and see where new ones are needed! Plus, I find disaster videos like this one entertaining!

[@Newguy-qb6kz]

In the future you could set up switches to dis connect every non-essential system to reset the power grid

[@elrondhubbard7059]

I have actually planned for this scenario in the build I'm currently on. I don't know what it's officially called, but down at the south east corner of the map there's what I call the Blue Lake. There are 4 coal deposits and 6 crude oil deposits in that area, and in the early days of my build it's where I built my first major coal power plant which I've disconnected from the grid but it's still there. The coal is being sent somewhere else by train now but this old 64-burner coal powerplant sits directly on top of the mines that feed it, and the water extractors are just down in the lake. So for my power emergency reboot plan what I did was inside the coal plant I made a large bank of bio burners and a storage container full of solid biofuel and hooked it up to the same disconnected circuit that the coal generators are on. After that I made an entire facility next door to convert all the crude oil across the lake into fuel, which again, was switched off and disconnected from everything so it was just sitting there idle. So in the event of a total power meltdown, my plan is this. Go to the blue lake and switch on the bio burners and reconnect the coal mines to this new circuit. I have a strategic coal reserve there which is 10 industrial storage containers full to help it start. Then once the coal is burning I connect it to my idle fuel refineries, which should by my calculations start providing enough fuel for 128 fuel generators. I haven't built 128 generators anywhere but I probably have enough materials stored at my main factory to do it. Then once that whole system is set up I can somehow use it to jumpstart my nuke reactors hopefully. So that's my power failure contingency plan.
