Satisfactory 1.0 Tutorial: Compact Stackable Blueprints

[@superezbz]

I want to see all of your tips now! This technique scratches some major itches for me.

[@Ghost_Hybrid]

I had no idea you could clip lifts ALL THE WAY inside a splitter/merger like that. So many of my designs are about to be dramatically improved. Thank you for this extremely clean and easy to follow tutorial.

[@RabbitTechie]

these look like some cyberpunk and/or Aperture Science buildings I LOVE IT!! I swear this is the first satisfactory build that Ive seen that actual looked like a factory and not some modern architecture lol

[@francoquesada372]

I'm really loving these build techniques. They looks nice and compact without being cheesy and clippy.

[@Miraihi]

Short lifts are incredibly important when dealing with manufacturers. But the separate logistic floor is even better.

[@caburrito]

I accidentally did a compact lift clip yesterday and my mind was blown that it was working. Really like the in-depth guide here and can't wait for more!

[@flawmore]

Bonus points for not looking like crap while being compact. It honestly reminds me of an engine.

[@Logiwonk]

Had to pause the video about 60 times to do the build, but I love the compact/stackable design, thanks you taught me a lot.

[@dsmith9456]

Okay, that was very clever of you... Not sure how many coffee's you must have had figuring all this out but it was worth it.. Amazing..

[@excrubulent]

Simultaneously too many and not enough.

[@achillesa5894]

I love your building style, super optimized without clipping or looking bad. Definitely gonna keep some of these techniques in mind. Thanks for the guide.

[@RGSha]

very clean mate. I'm sure many others like myself would like to see more of your builds like this.

[@tehNashty]

Absa freaking lootly!!! I may have to slow down the video to follow along, but I am going to at least try to steal it!

[@jeffkiska]

2000+ hours playing and this is how I learn that you can zoop stackable conveyor poles. Thanks for that and all the rest of the tips, great video!

[@cochrancd]

I have a lot of time in Satisfactory and I love coming across videos that really bring some new ideas into the gameplay instead of re-hashing the same thing over and over. Thank you for this.

[@tzxazrael]

heck yea! this is everything i was hoping you'd covrer, and then some! love the building techniques. would absolutely love to see more for the larger machines. personally, i feel like it's all a bit -too- compact for my building style, but i love seeing how it's done, and taking inspiration from the parts that -do- fit my own style.

[@ethangarofolo8170]

I’d love to see these other techniques too! Excellent vid, and I’ve subscribed in the hopes you do make them. I love this idea of thinking of the blueprints as a machine themselves and not as a collection of smaller machines. They abstract away the details.

[@GaryBoggs-yk1ot]

This is the style of video I've been looking for. Love the modular mindset looking forward to future videos!

[@pankoBreadCroisant]

blueprints or not, the lesson on manipulating lifts and splitters to get everything in just the right place is pretty helpful. cool video. hope to see more like this

[@ice9172]

Definitely want to see the next set of tips for Compact Building.

[@BoredTruckn]

Hey man I just wanted to swing by this video again and tell you how thankful I am for it. I've been finding myself frustrated with how to design my factories and stuff. I like a bit of form on top of brutal function. Put on my designs end up not being easily stackable or somewhat cumbersome in large scales. After I watch this video I've taken a step back and re-examine my design philosophy I found myself really liking this way of designing. I tested it out while trying to redesign my large-scale pure iron ingot factory. Not only do I really like the aesthetic of it, it feels so goddamn satisfying to line all these things up next to each other without having to touch it and just stacking on top with minimal effort. If you set up all the piping and shit correctly it barely takes any time at all the string all these together. I doubt I'll use it for everything, but I think this type of design styles going to stick around in my repertoire for quite a while. Besides, there's nothing wrong with amor industrial aesthetic.

[@mericanbro]

Building a factory like this now, looks super realistic and interesting on the full factory! Would love to see the rest of those compact building tips!

[@rubenst2008]

Thanks very much for the detailed explanation! Now I know how the design of the Borg cube came to be.

[@tommilford9669]

I would love to see more complex compact stacks involving multiple inputs and fluids 👍 great video!

[@ZJMiller488]

I'm a fairly new player, watched your belts off the ground video and embraced that philosophy. It did wonders for how my factory felt, and these tips related to splitters/mergers and shorter elevators will help even more! Great video, love your designs

[@JDFire41022]

Thank you so much for this video! I would love to see your other videos. This has really opened the game up for me! Thank you so much!

[@nathantrevino6637]

not only fun and compact - but develops it's own unique aesthetics! well done

[@deadlightning4532]

Please more of the compact build tips!!! I literally paused the video in awe when you first showed the stacked splitter connected because I was like "I COULD HAVE BEEN MAKING EVERYTHING SO MUCH SMALLER!!". Also really liked the talk about engineering principles and abstracting out concepts to make them simpler. I definitely think I've been over-complicating my builds as of late.

[@damianwilder1071]

This is a fantastic video, I will definitely be checking for more satisfactory content. Love the base design as well!

[@TheSeanbdurkin]

Brilliant! I've been playing this game for years and did not know all these tricks.

[@ad3on665]

The tutorial is amazing. I had to set it to x0.5 speed and rewind it many many times but it's amazing.

[@ejwest]

Let's have a whole series of these! Factory modules for every product would be amazing.

[@CloneTrooper1023]

Subscribed 5 minutes into the video. Very clear and concise. Love the video!

[@wolfren121]

Thank you for the video! I have been looking for compact balanced blueprint ideas!

[@majeee1353]

The knowledge of how long the conveyor lift I/O is the only thing that hinders me doing this kind of build. Love to stumble upon your video. Thanks for sharing it. I’d like to see more tips or knowledge.

[@sandfox7775]

Its so nice to learn something new for use in building my own factory's. Thanx so much for your tips!

[@JasonEllingsworth]

It would be a nightmare to actually attempt to replicate this. You got it all figured out! Definitely an interesting approach to the game.

[@homtherobot]

Great tips, gave me a lot to consider. Would love to see the train rail video!

[@DougO_]

This is efficient engineering, Most Satisfactory! More please!

[@tehNashty]

8.1K views as of my rewatching this. Maybe start a Satisfactory playlist? These compact factory racks are a big hit! 👍

[@BabyJeus]

As a satisfactory casual player with over 1500 hours. This video was amazing. I would love to see more. Ive never seen anyone build like this and I search for new satisfactory content on the regular since update 5 thru 1.0. Would love to see more tutorials tips tricks from you. And if ur willing to share any bps.

[@charliebrenton4421]

You just got a need subscriber, Pard! 👏👏👏Your miniaturization techniques are NEXT LEVEL! Please do more Satisfactory! Cheers!

[@dfwdweghom8902]

This is amazing! I would love to see tutorials on constructors and assemblers as well!

[@Clonephaze2327]

This was great, I love these designs and tips! Fast sub for sure, can't wait to see all your other tips! I especially am interested in your process for machines with multiple inputs!

[@LINKedup101]

The compact load-balancer techniques would be so cool to see, especially for the more complicated buildings. Compact refineries would be great cause those things are behemoths lol

[@LordKylas]

Seriously, great video! Thank you!

[@proscott33]

So grateful for your video! This video has more value in 2 minutes then other satisfactory howto videos have in an hour... 🙏🤗 Easy subscribe! Keep up the great work!

[@XCanG]

Rather than tips, a world tour would be appreciated

[@Silastar31]

Great technique! I duplicated your actions and made a clean compact 8 smelters BP. Works great! I now want to hear your take on other buildings like constructors and assemblers

[@Bryan_ZA]

did not expect to watch a 36 minute video about compact smelter design

[@TinyPirate]

Need them rail tips. Building tidy rail networks can feel like a chore

[@Keylough]

never thought about using a frame around the BP to make it stack and snap. fucking genius. makes it so much easier

[@duaneshaffer4427]

This is my first video of yours but I love the novel techniques and am looking forward to watching more! I’ll have to start a new run soon…

[@flevine99]

Definitely would like to see more for assemblers and menufacturers

[@AkSeapilot]

Subbed from Ketchikan Alaska. This is wayyyy over my head.. I would be happy to just do the same thing not quite as compact to understand it better.. but i am looking forward to more videos and watching previous videos.. Tons of info if i can absorb it all and make it work.. Cheers.

[@flokilicious9895]

Nice video. Thanks for all the information. I would like to see and hear more about satisfactory especally about blueprints, effective building etc. from you! Think of the puppies ;-)

[@Mikael_Hyacinth]

Those are extremely cool building, plx explain the rest u mentioned, those also look really cool

[@khronos442]

Hey man this video was stellar and id love to know more, you've got my sub! looking forward to seeing more (even if not a satisfactory channel lol)

[@WildFayah]

Made a nice stack-able constructor "octoblock" following your design principles that I am really happy with. But I am struggling with the multiple input buildings. I tried to freeze frame the video but it would be highly appreciated if you could follow up on those in another video.

[@zippzappzappel1818]

Thanks for your perfectly best Know-how Vids 👍🤓

[@gregshonting4457]

Awesome Video!!! Thanks for the info. More please.

[@seabeegamer4498]

Slick design! Keep it up! I'm subscribing in the hopes that you do! Also, thanks for sharing the BP!

[@Wordgoblin]

Damn... There is compact, and then theres this. Might take me a few views to figure out exactly what you're doing, but I think the merger/spliter internal lift is really cool, and definitely within the scope of 'acceptable clipping," and will probably use it.

[@ReggiePerrrin]

Thanks for the incredibly useful video, that taught me a lot, I did deviate from your build slightly, I painted the columns white. Creating Borg type units will help me get my mind around some of the more complex recipes... touch wood

[@MarcoLopez-pc3nw]

I would love to see how you approach trains. Either I just build the tracks on the floor and it keeps on clipping with the environment or I put them foundations but it takes forever.

[@nemanjanikitovic3720]

AMAZING! Excellent tips!

[@LordDamokles]

Now we need a way for compact Refineries, for all the pure ingot recipes.

[@100timezcooler]

what kind of designs you got for foundries? im fond of the "alloy" recipies for copper/iron

[@excrubulent]

I used to have a quad foundry, but this playthrough I broke the hex-foundry barrier on a single layer with some improved techniques, I definitely want to show that one off :)

[@mirage1857]

I feel like you epxlained this well but my head still is exploding lol

[@Someone1234eh]

Do your blueprints for the various buildings all have the same footprint? As in, are they all interchangeably stackable? I'd also love to see more of these!

[@davidma22]

Thanks for this video! Very informative. I went to download the blueprint but I notice it's the mk3 belts. Do you by chance have the version with mk5 belts to download for those of us in higher tiers? Thank you again.

[@excrubulent]

I was going to say Mk3 is enough, but I did mention in the video a good reason why faster belts are better so... here you go: satisfactory-calculator.com/en/blueprints/index/details/id/7240/name/Compact+Stackable+Octo+Smelter+Mk5+Belts Not easy to switch out all the belts, I had to upload it to the site then check the parts list to catch the ones I'd missed hiding in the compact stacks lol.

[@homtherobot]

@@excrubulent I haven't tested it but I could see the game blocking you if try to open a blueprint with higher belts than you have unlocked. This probably makes it more accessible!

[@gilkomfg]

Biblically accurate factory, love it 😁

[@qbonzai]

Great video! TY

[@juddsmith21]

Great video man!

[@mikaellarsson135]

The Queer mode is more tolerant than the Straight mode , I love this humor XD

[@DetlevvanLoenhout]

Sir! You have just ruined my save. I will need to redo so many of my facilities based on this way of building. Thank you for letting me know I have wasted so much time. 👍

[@tehNashty]

Holy moly! You have great energy AND great ideas!!! Thank you so very much! You should ™ "Get your lazy belts up off the floor" Now, if you could only teach me / others to think like you... I need more, man! I am old, slow and nearly senile, but...more please!!!!! The energy you have is exhausting (because I am the polar opposite) but I love it! More compact! More off the floor! More anything! Do you ever make compact processes like Adaptive Control Modules or the like? I don't know, maybe that can't be a thing... I would really like to see a general overview of your world with separate detailed videos of components with explanations of how and why you chose to do it that way. But, only do what you feel up to. I don't want to overwhelm you or anything. If it isn't fun, it isn't worth it. But seriously, thank you for sharing, it is great stuff!!!!

[@excrubulent]

Hey no worries, I actually learned to slow down my delivery when I was a teenager by recording myself. I go a bit fast because I'm trying to pack in as much as possible. KZbin has a video speed feature you can use if it helps :) And yes, anything you put in a manufacturer can work with this system too, but you can only fit 2 machines in the Mk1 designer. Maybe I can get something bigger in the Mk2 or Mk3, I haven't used them yet. I really like that design becase the frame is entirely made of beams which look really beefy and industrial.

[@tehNashty]

Yea, the look is incredible, but the balancers are freaking amazing! I'm a big compact balancer fan!

[@SonPRO1102]

My design is much simpler, just 4 constructors on the left and 4 on the right, the input faces the outside and output inside, input side is fed with a sinple manifold and output also merges into a manifold, and each floor's manifold is also connected to the next floors manifold with elevators and reverse the direction

[@xilron5907]

With buildings that require more than 1 input or output, do you just forgive the clipping of the lifts through the other belts?

[@jkmayfourteenth]

This is GOOD stuff

[@nathanielalderson9111]

Other vids, yes please

[@OcayaGaming]

13:55 Bendy queer mode, more flexible than straight. Man that line had me actually laughing!

[@rumpleteazer1709]

yes puppies, dont forget about the korean food

[@efficiencyvi8369]

I'm really interested in the multi input machines. Also we save kittens and/or puppies here. 😁

[@MrAntiKnowledge]

Could you save the splitter/merger stack to a blueprint for easier use in other blueprints, or will the connections not work?

[@excrubulent]

The stack absolutely would work in a blueprint. The reason I don't use blueprints for that is because usually it's more work to position them than to build them from scratch, and there's actually a bunch of different orientation possibilities that would make blueprints hard to use in this context. Like each input position in the triple stack is specific to this build, and both stacks are mirrored.

[@grant5227]

Yours has been one of the few videos ive found that explain the whole build process and the thought behind every choice. That helps a lot when trying to design new ones instead of just copying something exactly. If youve got more tips please share them.

[@lupusk9productions]

12:43 when i try to do this it is perfectly aligned then when i go to build it, it gets nudged half a meter backward. no idea why :( i have tried re deploying it so many times.

[@charlesdean2781]

Okay, nvm. I failed at this horribly lol. I don't get why it won't snap properly on the conveyors into the splitters.

[@shawnp6653]

Wow!

[@Armarnis]

it looks nice and compact, but the amount of clipping is sadly nothing for me

[@electalexeng]

I want to see the trains please. Thank you

[@inthatcaseable]

That's a subscribe for me. Love this technique. Gotta find a way to incorporate it underneath. I'm an underflooring factory kinda guy. It'll be a min before I get back to BP'n tho. My save crashes so I don't want to get to tier 9 and it become unplayable.

[@inthatcaseable]

I also hope they one day add a management console that can display relevant data for buildings/nodes that can be upgraded to entire factories and zones later. Like a separate wiring that is just logical. Maybe even short range IR at first to a wifi type LAN to a MAN when fully upgraded.

[@zeero4ever]

Never saw an iron smelting borg cube before ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@user-yo6xb6ud6d]

I'd suggest new players to avoid compactness in their designs. It makes upgrading belts and whatnot so much harder. I prefer to use the space the map gives me - especially vertically. Don't get me wrong - compact looks great - but for mid to endgame designs.

[@sillymesilly]

Nah you update blueprint

[@OllyWood688]

See this Hexadeca Smelta? Makes 16 times more Dakka!

[@sparaaaa]

niiiice

[@xx-qs1ij]

Unfortunately there are some game breaking defects in MK3 and other blueprints that coffee shit stain studios does not bother to fix

[@Jarnis-v1c]

Nice creative "abuse" of the game as it allows this type of clipping parts, but frankly I find the solution to compactify things to be slightly cheaty. The general idea of modular blueprints for easy scaling is still quite valid. If only the blueprint machine was larger to start with, and if only blueprints were easier to link to each other without having to effectively link each stamp of the blueprint manually. On the other hand, I understand the developers are hesitant to turn the whole thing into stamping of huge prebuilt blueprint chunks (similar to how Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program tends to become late-game)

[@homtherobot]

@@Jarnis-v1c just curious, why do you find the compact part cheaty? In my mind it's the same level of cheating as any other blueprint (i.e. not cheating at all). I understand it exploits some game mechanics but the outcome really isn't that huge of an advantage. The game world is huge and space is plentiful. Nothing stopping you from just dropping two regular 4x smelter blueprints side by side to get an 8x.

[@manaflask8826]

'appreciate the build tips but your style clips a bit too much for my own taste. Personal preference.

[@IanSebryk]

i absolutely HAAAAAATE those bloody ugly lift bellows when they can otherwise snap clearly to a port. worst design cock up in Satisfactory IMO.

[@tamedelement]

I want to add lights within the structure to make it a borg cube themed, functional artistic industrial sci fi theme 🧊🔥

[@tamedelement]

More please 😊
