Super AWESOME Satisfactory COLOR TRICKS you can use today!

[@MiracleGamesFtw]

After several hundred hours and countless cosmetic builds in this game, It NEVER occurred to me to try and type in my own values on those sliders. Absolutely brilliant! This changes everything.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

That's the best part of the whole trick! It's so simple, anyone can do it.

[@bspellmeyer]

Amazing! This might be the first "Secret Tricks" video on KZbin that actually taught me secret tricks.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Thanks for the kind words and donation! I'll spend it all on more colors.

[@PSChrisDC]

Holy , you just blew my mind! 24 minutes of high value information without any fillers. felt like 5 minutes. i was like "oh please do black" and yes,you got everything covered here. thank you, wow!

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

You're so welcome! It was a super fun video to make and at the end of the day, though we're limited to a few colors, it's exactly the way painted concrete foundations should be! I hope you're able to make something beautiful with these techniques.

The washed out colours on concrete have bugged me since day 1 of owning the game! Sir, thou art a genius 👍

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

ha! Thanks for the kind words and I'm happy to have helped! I'm with you, always drove me crazy how dull they were.

[@Ubiquities]

For all of the Satisfactory tips and tricks videos out there, this one is the best I've seen, this is crazy useful, thanks for taking the time to publish a video on it.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Wow, thanks for the super kind words! I pour myself into all my Satisfactory videos, but I do have to admit, I thought this one was going to be a real winner. The super simple solutions to creating super vibrant colors is something not often seen around Satisfactory content and I think it'll make a big impact if people start embracing its use. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@Ubiquities]

@@BEDplaysGAMES it’s the truth, love your style, already subbed, and I already have a building wrapped in super dark concrete foundations with street lights sticking out, from another vid. I thought about making videos at one point, then I tried filming and editing and gave up. But learned enough to know that it’s not easy to make a coherent well edited video, keep doing what you’re doing and it will pay off!

[@miguelcastilho7454]

Tons of satisfactory Videos about decorating factories, but no one talked about this(that i have seen)! Thanks for sharing! This video should blow up!!!

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Thanks a ton! I love this tip and I'm happy to share it with the masses.

[@makergaming2022]

Ten minutes in and this is already SUPER useful. I am going to use the white concrete on the tower I was showing you last night. Nice job Bed.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Awesome! I'm glad to help. It's such a fun rabbit hole to explore. All the possibilities.

[@Sephyricon]

@5:43 "I don't know about hue.." Yes you do! You made a whole video about it. ;) Sorry, bad pun. Thank hue for this, it is really helpful!

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Awww, man, it was RIGHT there and I failed to capitalize on that great pun.

[@shoki3704]

For someone who has been trying to find a way to add more variations to colours, I thank you so much for this discovery! This was very well done and will be taking advantage of this for sure! Thanks again mate!

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Happy to help! I appreciate you taking the time to comment, really helps me out.

[@houghi3826]

This is amazing. I am 3500 + hours in and never knew this. Thank you SOOO much. All we now need is the ability to add more "personal" colors, the ability to group and to rename them. The 16 we get are not enough and I seldom want to re-color my who factory.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

You're welcome! I agree with you. More colors and more light colors are high on my wish-list. And thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@hassurunous6167]

I could be wrong, but in test 7, I think you could get more hues if you type in the color code manually. Those 6 hues you were seeing correspond to the colors where one or more of the RGB hex values are maxed out. In other words, you'll see "FF" pair in the color code at least 1 time for each of those. I think the slider and preview window might have just been lying to you or lagging.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

I'll do some testing and report back!

[@petlemons]

This comment is partially to help me remember to look at this and partially so someone else might be intrigued enough to look into this. The satisfactory calculator interactive map save file parser could be used to figure out what is actually happening here. I have some guesses, but if we understood what was going on under the hood, we might be able to further exploit the colour picker

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Ooooh, I'd like that. If someone can dig more into the how and why, I'd love to keep exploring this.

[@mymumbakescakes]

Color my wolrd. Thank you. Amazing... If only we could copy the colors from a object to another object plus it would be nice if we could export our colors to a new save. or any save.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Those would be great features!

[@dortamur2634]

Mind blown! This changes everything! Ok - it changes colours - but that's still amazing! Thanks!

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Colours are everything! Pixel art, fake landscaping, sculptures, skyscrapers, there are so many places I want to use these bright new features, I can't wait to dig in more.

[@WoodrosWorld]

Great video bruddah. I used the intensity change on white mostly to make them not grey.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Thanks! The black and white are my favorite. They see the most use in my builds.

[@WoodrosWorld]

@BEDplaysGAMES one question i had after watching, what about when you paint on road markings? Does the color enhancement also carry over?

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

@@WoodrosWorld I'll test right now.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

@@WoodrosWorld The markings appear to behave like the painted beams and walls and have max saturation and brightness with any hue selected.

[@wesplybon9510]

This information needs to be shared as fast as possible so Coffee Stain has no choice but to accept its existence as normal gameplay, instead of a bug.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

I think so! That's why I made the video. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it!

[@eqprog]

It’s definitely a bug though. If I had to guess, for the duller colors they apply a multiplier value to the S/L values (btw this color representation is referred to as HSL, you were so close!) they never expected people to put in values above 1 though. Hypothetically, let’s say the duller foundation color has as multiplier of 0.5. So if S is 1, then the duller color is 1 * 0.5. But if you put in 2, then the duller color would end up being 2 * 0.5. The same thing probably applies to all the colors for whatever model, explaining why sometimes white isn’t white unless you start bumping up the values.

[@eqprog]

But I agree they should keep it as it’s neat.

[@kennethtomlinson7015]

I have been disappointed with color on concrete ever since it came out. This changes everything

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Excellent! I hope you enjoy it and build something fantastic.

[@brendanhumeniak9988]

3000 hours, never knew this! Thank you!

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

I couldn't believe it either. You're so welcome!

[@YouriHL]

4:55 You can only see the difference when you have a brightview monitor or a plasma TV. All other monitors fail to show the actual color difference. I have a HP 2159m monitor and when I simulate your video here, I can clearly see the difference up until 9. 10 and above are not visible for me, might be my eyes. But.. on a 2008 42 inch Plasma TV, I can see the difference between 9 and 10. For my gaming and DAW stuff (yes, I am a music producer), I use two identical 29 inch UltraWide monitors and there I can only see a difference up until 6.

[@BEDplaysGAMES]

Thanks so much for the info! I'm curious so I'll try and dig up a plasma tv to watch it on. You're the second audio engineer I've met in the last week. I was picking the other guy's brain about other DAWs and tools to use. In fact, this video was the first time I edited my audio and video in Da Vinci resolve, then exported my audio to Reaper DAW to use their noise reduction tool. The tool completely eliminates all my background noise, but I noticed it did give me a tinny sound on my voice in some parts. I decided to publish anyway, but I'm still trying to balance the tools I use to get the best audio/vocal I can for my videos.

[@Bionicheart0731]

@@BEDplaysGAMESI was going to approach the color problem with color pallet thematic choices around the aesthetic of the product being made.

This used to work with signs. You could increase the intensity super high and it'd be blindingly bright if you looked at it. That appears to have been corrected in a patch. I don't think it works for lights either. And you can't get vibrant color on concrete walls, either.
