Satisfactory Update 8! Building a HUGE Caterium Ingot Plant!

Satisfactory Update 8 Playthrough EP7! Building a Massive Caterium Ingot Processing Plant that will give us all the caterium ingots we need to beat the game!
Since Update 8 is the last update to Satisfactory until the final release of the game, I wanted to do a final playthrough, build something GREAT and share it with you guys! Follow along with me.
If you guys have any suggestions or ideas for the build, let me know in the comments section! I'd love to hear your feedback.
I am a Distribution Operations Manager during the week and a gamer on the weekends. Check out my other channel where I run a warehouse by myself.
I hope you enjoy!

Drones might be a better option for the further away caterium nodes, albiet they do carry less and demand batteries which is one of the biggest resource sinks in the game. The single advantage though is they can fly direct to and from the node to the factory without much delay. Love the build, even the off-center belts coming down to feed the outbound train.

We'll see what happens! Maybe I'll run trucks for now, then switch to drones later...? Our copper and iron ore will dwarf catering for sure! Lol

even looking at this makes my creaky old pc break out in cold sweats

[@falconphoenixgaming]

Right?! I'm nervous for Phase 4 City... o.O

[@bragilbe12]

If it can put out 1560 ingots per minute, where are you going to get the 3120 per minute ore from to run it at full capacity?

[@falconphoenixgaming]

Great question! There's a pure node close that I'm currently using. Also, there's a pure node just west of the plant in Rocky Dessert. I'll probably bring in a couple of the pure nodes from the eastern shore as well. 780 x 4 = BAM 3120

How did you daisy chain the refineries? Beams? Mods?

[@falconphoenixgaming]

No mods, I used the road barrier/pillar method to line it up and used beams to place a wall outlet. Right on top of the existing connection. I might make a video on how yo do it in the future.

[@camdrake3773]

@@falconphoenixgaming I’ve never seen them aligned so perfectly. Can’t even tell the wall outlets are there!

I posted a video on this for you
