Scaffolding Tips for Going Vertical [SATISFACTORY TIPS & TRICKS]

I wanted to address some comments on prior guide videos on how non-modding players can better construct the structures from those guides. In the video I go over Stackable Conveyor Poles and the ramp foundations from the AWESOME Shop.
SHOULD you want to mod your game for easier construction. Head the following link to download the Satisfactory Mod Manager and check out either the PAK Utilities mod or the Area Actions mod to enable flying. ficsit.app/

More than these two specific methods, the one thing this video really showed me the importance of, was exploration and progression! Upgrade everything, and explore everything too! Get the MAM and the Awesome Shop, and unlock all the things!

One thing I didn't know at first was the hotkeys for transferring items from storage. I had been double-clicking on the items. Instead, SHIFT + the chosen item will transfer the one stack. CTRL + the item transfers all the stacks in that storage. At first, I thought you had to hold CTRL and drag the items because that's what it says to do. Actually, all you need to do is hold CTRL or SHIFT and click the item. Sooooo much easier.

[@genie7335]

Idk if its just me but the audio is glitchy. Still a good informative video!

[@Scalti]

Not just you. That’s the result of my current audio setup unfortunately. Good news though! I have new hardware on the way to solve that problem! Invested in a Rode PodMic, and a Go XLR Mini. Should arrive by mid August.

@@Scalti I thought it was my headset so I was unplugging it and trying different USB ports to see if it clears up... lol.

[@gnfielies]

Firstly, thank you for taking time out to make these informative videos. Myself was at a lost onto how to get building thses mega factories. Thanks to your videos you have ease the transition. Now for those complicated builds, the ones with the manufacturer, oil to fuel... I am in awe of these builds... Thank you

[@Scalti]

Those complicated builds will be addressed in the future. There’s a bit more content I want to create guides for first leading into those larger builds. I’m also not entirely sure how I want to approach complicated builds yet. I need to find a way to condense the information to keep video length short but at the same time not skipping over vital information and key points for the viewer. Glad these videos are helpful.

[@Scynthevision]

Just started playing the game and found your videos. Your builds are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for making the videos and inspiring

[@Scalti]

Nice! Hope you enjoy it.

[@andrewerikson4468]

Another amazing and helpful video. I have been using the ramp scaffolding trick but the double platform way. Much better this way, thanks again.

[@smallwaffles2337]

I commented on your reinforced iron plates video on how it was a mfer to do without flying, and I now revoke that comment. You're crazy awesome man

[@AlonCunningham]

I used to do the first method, I'm so glad they added ladders to the game now

[@Loop0001rath]

quality help. THANK YOU!!

[@darkl3on3]

thanks for the flat fundation and ramp fondation :D that was fun

[@nickjohnson9640]

Dang the double ramps is huge. I’ve had them for a good while and haven’t thought to deploy them like that. I like the idea of keeping space between so you could run your lifts easier.

[@SigurdFlaatten]

Obviously this is now all good with the ladders they put in a week or so back :)

[@skyboundzoo]

So hype ......over ladders lol. They are great tho

[@WuppertalerWanderWade]

Unfortunately not with unlimited height

[@timainwhitewolf]

@@WuppertalerWanderWade what do you mean? I haven't found a height limit to ladders yet. You build it as high as you can, then climb up and while you climb you can snap the new ladder to the end and build further.

[@mikeylikes23]

Great videos, keep it up!

[@seanbourner403]

Awesome videos. I’ve used one of your designs. I have a large storage area I go to, to keep my resources. My problem is getting the stuff from the factory to my storage area. My base is complete spaghetti!!! I want to see your base and maybe some tips on how to organise things?!? Also I liked some of your funny outtakes from another video. I think you should keep that up!

[@heraldtim]

Thanks! I never knew what the double ramp pack was for!

[@Serrovin]

Can't wait to see if you do Tier 2 building structures, my steel productions a bit spaghetti and spread out far from my base, haven't belted anything in yet lol. But I have been able to clean up some of my other ground level set ups and increase production up from single file lines.

[@compubitz]

Thanks, that's useful!

[@jcarrandson]

Holy crap.. I thought that double ramp was 2 ramps together that make a square with no angle! I thought what the hell am I ever going to need that for? I could just build a normal foundation. The amount of time I have spent building ramp, foundation, ramp, foundation!! I'm super annoyed but thank you for showing this!

[@finlander9181]

Thanks Scalti

[@Scalti]

Quite welcome!

[@acceleratum]

I make a platform all around it with foundations and ramps so i can circle around building stuff and then delete it all at the end, and most of the times I add some walkways around with access to each floor, they look nice and the railing dont let you fall when running around.. you can do them on the square inside the walls in your designs so you dont have to look at it but I actually like the looks.

[@charlesfoster3050]

Holy crap that double ramp is insane. Man thanks an actual million for that. So many hours saved!

[@charlesfoster3050]

Those bladerunners too! On my second quick playthrough and I never used them the first run through. Cheers for this vid and reccommending this vid dude

[@ZIMsar10]

Excellent video mate, well done! Although I noted a few distortions in your voice audio, randomly throughout the video.

[@Scalti]

Yup. Have since upgraded my recording setup to be much better.

[@peterbuhler1202]

Can not express how enjoyable and how helpful your videos are, being a newby i am not up to this stage as yet but have decided to maybe start from scratch using your iron and copper starter videos. One question if you have time , These wonderful guide videos are great but once you have all the goodies in various storage containers, rod, screw plates and stuff how do use it from there, like the next stage, , do you just someway belt them over to the next stage or? anyway thanks heaps for you time with these great videos. Pete

[@Scalti]

Always great to receive this type of feedback. Glad this have been helpful. In terms of the ‘next stage’, the iron and copper factories are intend to be you building storage used for building the next stage. My thought behind those videos was to provide a ‘base’ model for the players to then innovate on top of for themselves. I want to leave some of the problem solving up to you as I find it a key aspect of the game and I don’t want to steal that. It can boil down to give a man a fish he can eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll never go hungry.

[@peterbuhler1202]

@@Scalti Thanks i go with that, i really hope the word spreads and these videos get the viewers they deserve, really remarkable presentation and detail. Pete

[@XadeGrimm]

some of this stuff is now out of date it now zoops diagonally and ladders in the awesome shop.

[@bobkatfan2013]

Man, I’m glad they’ve added a ladder

[@wb6anp]

I have been using ladders either up the outside or inside where accessible.

[@applejack7312]

50 seconds in and I already feel like a dumbass! :) Poles have leaders! How easy it is to forget these tiny neat features...

[@jadlak]

Still a highly useful video, yeah sure - ladders are better than stackable conveyor belts. But right now (in the early stages) I don't want to spend my coupons on ladders if I have a reasonable alternative. I have other things I am prioritising in my AWESOME shop.

[@zeSpammmmmer]

great video (just as are your other guides, tutos...) i've finally decided to go for the fly mod and it's working just fine, i just can't figure out how to up/down... maybe you can help me with that?

[@Scalti]

Space/Jump to go up and Alt to go down

[@zeSpammmmmer]

@@Scalti thanks a lot!

[@galev3955]

Started playing some weeks ago and now that I am getting a bit more familiar with the basics, something I struggle with is uneven terrain. I don't know how to deal with all the hills and little bumps that are so frequent. Do I just build a foundation on the highest point and then all the rest will be hovering above ground or what? :S

[@Scalti]

Build a foundation support structures. Have a loading bay for tractors and trucks or a thruway for trains.

[@holgualoxford3871]

Oh man double ramps.. I Saw that in the shop but couldn't make sense from the icons what the heck they actually looked like or did EDIT- and Blades.. ok back to the game to get new toys!

[@Scalti]

Gotta go fast.

[@bl4ck_desire993]

I like that your walls and buildings are white instead of orange. I am a new player, how did you get that color changed? Great Vids btw :)

[@Scalti]

As you run around collecting leaves you’ll occasional get flower petals. Research those in the M.A.M. and you’ll unlock a tool that will allow you to do this. When you have it, you can change the upper left swatch to any color and it will update all your structures. It’s the default swatch and will automatically change the color of anything new you build too.

[@bl4ck_desire993]

@@Scalti okay, thanks!

[@angelbaby6638]

@@Scalti This is what I was looking for, thank you! Now to go research this :)

[@jimmybigaouette7742]

I will like to know if you did a rafinery cool like all your other build

[@Scalti]

Not yet but I will in the future.

[@jamesskelton3488]

I remember the before times. When the gods had yet to give us the glory of the hoverpack

[@heyz13]

i dont know if this is something new because i only started playing a few weeks ago and i do that ramp trick to get to high places . BUT..... i can use to simple 4m ramp all day without doing the flat surface like you mentioned. again i dont know if its a new thing now or something maybe people didnt notice right off the bat?

[@Scalti]

This is a new behavior added after I made this video.

[@callumandrecyk2965]

How do you build parts pre-painted?

[@Scalti]

Color gun. Change the first swatch (upper left) to your desired color.

[@ItsJust_Nick]

Anyone here watching after ladders have been properly introduced? 😏

[@CaraDees]

I use ladders, lookout towers and berries. Yes berries... for fall damage. I'm clumsy.

[@Rottingflare]

Get the new ladder from the Awesome Shop!!!

[@TheGreatSeraphim]

The foundation rebalancing makes no sense. large foundations are cheaper, small ones are way more expensive.
