OIL you NEED TO KNOW for Satisfactory!

[@Game_Blox9999]

It has to do with Render Distance and the fact that the models with a lower LOD (level of detail) are being swapped out for the more detailed models of the ground, foundations, coal gens, pipes, belts, et cetera, et cetera, you know the deal. It takes a toll on your computer because it has to do all these model swaps at a relatively fast pace while also keeping up with all the other calculations like collisions, shadows, and inputs from your mouse and keyboard. Not only that, but it has other programs to contend with for cpu usage, like OBS, Discord, [insert preferred browser here], and Steam.

Awesome! Thanks for the info!

@@BEDplaysGAMES Can't really argue with @Game_Blox9999. Definitely worth running Task Manager or MSI Afterburner or similar to see what is getting max loaded. When I ran into similar issues, I was running a video Card with 3GB of VRAM and 16GB of system memory...both of which I was maxing out for different reasons in my UD5 playthrough.

HA! First! Take that, Farty! ❤❤❤

[@farty90]

Oh no, my streak is ruined! How can you have done this

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Thanks, Farty! Wait a minute, Nashty!

Yippie oil chugging time! I wish oil refining would be more complex tbh

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

SF+ again soon! That'll give us the complexity we crave.

The jetpack can run off biofuel!

[@Game_Blox9999]

Very inefficiently, I might add. I'd suggest adding water in a refinery and packaging them up to increase the efficiency by... *checks notes* a lot. Packaged liquid biofuel last the longest out of any fuel type, even the ionized fuel, but it is as slow as the regular fuel in terms of vertical speed. To maximize your jetpack fuel usage, pulse the pack to let your momentum carry you just that little bit farther.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

It's crazy. I love it. I can't wait to get into the more complex fuels soon.

[@farty90]

@@BEDplaysGAMES liquid biofuel is my fav for the jetpack for sure, doesnt seem to run out

[@annamuller4730]

if you duck and go to the nest, it will not send bees and you can melee it dead.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Thanks!

New undocumented feature, yo! 17:30 Using spitter spit to kill flying crabs! You go gurl!!!!! 😁

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Yeah! I love when the monsters battle each other. I should just play on passive.

[@tehNashty]

@BEDplaysGAMES Pfft...

[@wertacus]

Yeah, the mercer spheres are seriously distracting. I find myself looking at the scanner constantly and hunting them down is really slowing my progress 😂 I cant help myself

[@Game_Blox9999]

Well, they tell you to harvest 'em, so you gotta comply.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Exactly! They're so great, so valuable. I love the Alien Tech stuff in 1.0.

[@etsmine3004]

When fighting, hatchers hold C the whole time. They won't "hatch" the flies and just take. damage until dead.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Do you think that's a feature or a bug? I've always assumed it's a bug, so wasn't interested in abusing it...but maybe it's the way it's supposed to be. Thanks!

[@etsmine3004]

@BEDplaysGAMES it probably is a bug but if it's there you always have that opportunity to use it
