PERFECT Starter Oil Setup!! 100 Plastic/Rubber + 1200MW! | Satisfactory Update 7

[@spectrumdad_]

For 1.0 this still works, except you need to only have 5 fuel generators and underclock 1 to 80%. Cheers ❤

[@dg5609]

just found your channel! Thanks for the careful and thoughtful walkthroughs and coming back to keep it up to date. :)

[@Terial2]

In your vid, you have 8 generators, are you saying we get the same power from just 5 with one of them set to 80%?? Basically build 5 not 8?

[@BlitZKaiZer12]

Is there a petroleum coke version for coal gens? Im still unlocking the milestone fuel generator

[@AnimationWithZach]

Thanks brodda

[@Cjcomputer14]

300oil is not making it to all refineries in 1.0

[@kemzal]

Amazing tutorial! One issue I found with the 1.0 update... The Fuel-Power Generators need to have their clock speeds changed to 60%/150MW. They changed the output and input amounts.

[@dasfettewalross8305]

Thanks for pointing that out, didnt realised it. But you can also just use 5 Fuel-Power-Generator and have 1 running at 80% Clockspeed (If your are not making packed fuel, you can just use 5 of the Fuel Power-Gernerator). This saves some materials. The System should work fine with this setup.

[@Danny191]

Is that why my Gens are running out of power constantly?! goddamnt lol

[@Taststaturensohn]

@@Danny191 lol same problem the night session, already thouugt iam stupid xD

[@dasfettewalross8305]

@@Danny191 Probably, before the update you needed 8 Gens now you need only 5 (with one set to 80% if you do packed fuel). They Changed the Input and output. In Update 0.8 the input was 12 Fuel per minute. 12 x 8 = 96 and the other 4 from the packaged Fuel = 100 Fuel per minute. In the Update 1.0 the input is now 20 Fuel per minute! Now you need 4 gens running at 100% and one on 80% 4 x 20 = 80 80 + 16 (16 from the one underclocked to 80%) = 96 Fuel per minute and the other 4 from the packaged Fuel = 100 Fuel per Minute. This should work other wise look if you are producing 100 Fuel per Minute and check if your rubber and plastic isnt cloging up your system. Make some containers to store a bunch and then you can sink the rest if you want.

Just finished setting this up. Super pleased with the 2.7 GW of power I now have going (along with the 2.5 coal power plants you showed me in another video). This stage would have caused me to burn out on another save. So thank you for getting me past that hump!

[@bouncethemoonofficial]

On the note of Petroleum Coke - this can also be sent to a Coal Generator and used for power (in place of coal) before unlocking fuel stuffs. Great guide, thanks!

[@samophlange3809]

Worked perfectly for 1.0 with a minor adjustment to 6 fuel generators with one slightly underclocked to allow for packaged fuel. This was also very helpful for managing the transition to the generators without the by-products backing up and causing a shutdown - thank you.

[@ethanlunan1391]

which one did you under clock and by how much?

[@FaxonRX]

@@ethanlunan1391 I only have 2 somersloops (S) and this is what I do . 300 snail overclock oil extractor -> 150 (heavy oil) from 10 refiners -> 3 refiners (fuel) clocked at 20 - 40 - 80 (S) -> 140 fuel -> 6 generators at 20 fuel - 120 -> 20 fuel for packaged fuel. or the same thing, but add fuel generator for 7 total, reduce packaged fuel to 4 p/min, and underclock that last generator so it takes 16 fuel p/min

[@Scythr-]

I just underclocked all 8 generators to 60% (150MW), takes 96m³ of fuel and leaves 4m³ for the packaged fuel

[@hagamaku1522]

Refinery has 10m headlift, lose the pump and don't underclock your packager. The fuel will go there last as it is raised

[@deecodeB]

This was so so helpful, thanks ! My coal mine was acting up with power whilst i was in the process of doing this today and I had to cut some temporary losses that I can now go fix! Note - after my plastic and rubber filled out and went into overflow, I had to replace the belt feeing into the smart splitter for it to then go up to the lifts.

I followed your guide which was great by the way! However, I thought I'd be clever and load the fluids from my logistics-floor underneath. As you can guess I was having a bunch of problems with pipes not being full, and the buffer never filled up. I spent a while this morning learning more about head lift and found out that my under-floor loading of fluids is the problem. Looking forward to redesigning it and removing this issue. Thanks for the GREAT guide. I'm a about to tackle a huge oil-fired fired power plant on the west coast. :)

[@Kociboss]

Really well-made guide. Made transition to oil smooth as butter. I centralize everything & unfortunately the pure oil patch was like 2 km from my base but I'm planning to use the train in the future to bring the goods in. Because of that I'm wrapping my head around the computer production. Seems like you need buttload of plastic, like way more than I'm currently producing. If my calculations are correct, for 5 computers per minute (2 manufacturers, 7 assemblers with one underclocked I'm going to need 290 plastic per minute - That's crazy!

[@nonchalantjellyfish]

thank you so much for making this. i was struggling hard trying to figure out oil and this solved everything

[@whisstler]

I loved this guide and how you split it into phases. I built all 3 phases and found myself low on fuel for my fuel generators. I'm not sure if its because of an update or any changes but my main issue was not having enough crude oil to supply all 10 refineries. I just decided to add a second oil extractor that hooks into the last 5 of my refineries. That solved all my problems. Hope this helps someone else!

[@whisstler]

As a follow up to this, I now realize that crude oil deposits come in pure and normal forms. The pure forms literally double your output. So when you place an extractor for this factory you need to have a pure crude oil deposit or 2 normal deposits.

[@nukachronic6211]

Excellent build brother! Confirmed it still works in update 8, with the help of two additional pumps; One between the fuel buffer and generators, and also one between the oil extractor and the input manifold on the row of 10 refineries. Also, the oil extractor should be overclocked to 125% to match the 300 input of the combined 10x refineries. With some careful pipe and belt maneuvering, I was able to make the design slightly more compact. Mine is occupying a 16x17 foundation space.

[@spectrumdad_]

Nice, glad you got it to work. I did also manage to make it more compact in a play through myself. It's hard to show compact builds in guides though.

[@Neobane]

1.0 Changed this setup. To Power all 8 Generators, I needed to overhaul my plant. 8 Generators requires 160 Fuel 4 Refineries @ 100% provides 160 Fuel but costs 240 Heavy Oil Residue. No Excess for 8 Gens + Packager. Alternate running 6 Fuel Generators + Packager @ 100% with Packager OFF and 8 Generators. You don't have enough refineries at 150% to spare HOR for Packager and 8 Generators. Add 1 Plastic Refinery Overclock all 11 Plastic/Rubber Refineries to 150%. This produces 240 HOR. You will need 495 Crude Oil for the 11 Refineries Add a 2nd Pipeline at 100%. Connect it to the refinery pipeline at the opposite end as the 300 Crude / Min Pipeline If you power your Packager at 100% while you are remodeling, you should have thousands of Packaged Fuel in an industrial storage. You shouldn't need to run the packager for a while at this point. Bonus, with two sinks, you are producing 39K points per min.

[@ISOaGoGo]

This is such a great game, but its tough to learn. So pleased I came across your video, love how you present your content - thank you.

[@PI_Joe_Mama]

I do a similar setup but I use the larger fluid buffers for the fuel so there are less trips to flush the system. To the left of the storages, I also set up drone ports when drones become available and can then fly the rubber and plastic to where I need it. Trucks work well, too.

[@SheeepOfGod]

Great design! But for the 1.0 numbers on the fuel generators got changed (or earlier idk). They now use 20/min on 100%. I build 4 generators and used the rest of the fuel on 20 packed fuel per minute. But overall great guide!

[@williamkole9519]

I think I've figured out how to do this exact set up in 1.0. It will need a total of 6 somersloops (excluding the ones you needed to get the 300 oil per minute for the Oil Extractor). I prefer thinking in desired result>how Im getting that result because it makes it easier for me to understand what I need to do and how I can get it. 8x Fuel Power with one underclocked to 80% need 156 fuel per min + 4 min for package- 160 fuel per min 3 refineries producing fuel, both at 100% and 1 with 2 "S" produce 160 fuel per min The 3 refineries use 180 heavy oil residue The 10 refineries produce 180 heavy oil residue- to do this you need to modify the rubber refineries. Adjust 1 refinery with 2 "S" and clock it to 75%. Add 2 "S" to 1 rubber refinery and leave at 100%. This will cause the 5 plastic refineries to produce 50 heavy oil residue, the unchanged 3 rubber refineries will produce 60 heavy oil residue, the adjusted 75% 2x "S" rubber refinery will produce 30, and the 100% 2x "S" will produce 40. The 10 refineries producing plastics and rubber total use is 292.5 oil. So you can underclock to meet that if you'd like. Leave a comment if it worked or not😀

[@Samxronn]

For me in 1.0 I can't keep all 3 refinery's fed. They keep stalling for a moment as they're not getting enough heavy oil residue from the 10 initially refinery's. This means I can't even power 5 generators with one at 80%. As the MK1 pipe is has a max capacity I'm not sure I can even power slug an initially refinery to give it a boost....

[@Samxronn]

The initially refinery's produce 150 heavy oil residue a minute. The refinery's converting it into fuel (3 of them) consume 60 heavy oil residue a minute for a total of 180 a minute. How do you solve this issue?
