SUPER SOLAR POWER ! Foundry [E2]

[@UbilManther]

It's just an observation, but it doesn't look like you need to build everything on foundations. The High Voltage blocks don't use them to transmit power (transformer excluded). The only things that need the Low Voltage power need to be on connected foundations. This means you should be able to run power poles between your satellite mines connected via transformers and pull up all the foundations in between. Belts also don't seem to have a requirement to be built on foundations. You can see that in the teaser video.

[@peterkalafus9514]

- you can deconstruct power lines, right mouse button bring up the advanced setting menu that allows you to change settings and for power lines it's either connect or disconnect - you do realize that factories and storage have several input/output ports so you could be splinting the output that way (as long as the demand of connected factories is lower than supply the goods would be split equally even without a splitter)

[@blacke4dawn]

22:37 Yes, it can hold one full stack in the input slot, it's just that loaders won't input more than what 3 craft cycles will consume.

[@whatsunknown]

exactly, they seem to operate on somewhat of the same functionality of inserters in factorio.

[@UbilManther]

This is clearly done so one machine won't hold an entire storage bin's worth of supplies it doesn't need at once. It still gives you the option to manually dump supplies in, if you want.

[@blacke4dawn]

@@UbilManther Ohh of course. I much prefer that to Satisfactory which does hold one full stack in the input buffer. It's just that a low amount in the input buffer is NOT an indication of the machine not being fed fast enough.

[@megazetabetaful]

Hey Z, just so you know, the thing you're trying to research shows the amount of science packs you need. for example the small battery pack required 30 packs. hope this helps avoid future confusion.

[@jonny555ive]

He never reads these.... Nice advice though buddy. It's cool if you to try and help. 🤘🤘

[@megazetabetaful]

@@jonny555ive thank you. Im not the kinda guy who will rage at a guy and be a jackass. Nor am i the guy for backseat gaming. Noticed that he missed it at first and politely informed him and this works for others who miss it at first. Besides I've got this and hydroneer in my wishlist for next moth and Z's playthroughs have been fun for when im stressed. Figured id pay him back a little for his content over the years

[@shadowproductions969]

"we need me solar panels" meanwhile he's using 0.5mj for his machines and producing 10s of mj already. gonna have to ramp up machines a lot for that

[@Avetho]

1.2 MW peak HV generation, and under 0.6 peak LV consumption, he can last a night that goes twice as long right now, but MJ and MW and kW and kJ are not something most people can passively understand in daily life XD

[@TheGhostAvatar]

First things first. Set up an assembler to make foundations (you can thank me later). You're going to need 400 to build Lab II which you are coming up to very soon. Other than that, you need to start redesigning your layout to scale up future production (a lot). Its going to be much easier now with so little, rather than later with so much. Leave plenty of space between productions lines off your main bus. If you think you need 3 blocks space, make it 6 etc. On that note, you only need one line of foundation to connect the power. Fill the rest in with dirt/sand blocks (which you will mine as you flatten out the terrain for expansions).

[@00Drizz00]

I love watching you play, but there are times where you have me yelling at the screen. Keep up the good work and have fun, I know I do when I watch.

[@turosianarcher8771]

100% yes. Like "No, you don't need a second belt. Stop building a second belt. Your machine's recipe isn't keeping up. No, no more belts!" Pretty clear that it says 80/min on the screen in small print. *sigh*

[@fikrierdogan8525]

To remove power connections you need to hold the power line than press and hold mouse right click and change your mode from the open dial

[@InternetGravedigger]

Now all you need is to make a track and get a Delorean... you've got the 1.21 gigawatts down already.

[@Skellitor301_VA]

Might be a better idea to rebuild the power on the side of your base with the hill, and the assemblers out towards the direction the solar panels are going. You've practically solved your power for the time being and it doesn't take a lot of space, where the assembers will inevitably need a ton of space with the introduction of splitters, having the loaders, and belts between the assemblers, you're going to need a lot of space for that. Just saying, planning ahead for that it seems like a worth while investment to swap those two so you're not having to plan and build around the massive hill you got, vs the more shallow hill. That way you're not spending a ton of time digging out that large hill to get all the space you'll need.

[@RemoraDFC343]

I wasnt sure after 1st episode, but now that we are getting deeper into the tech tree and the various mechanics and interface, I am sold. On wishlist.

[@TheGhostAvatar]

It is very much Factorio in its research tree. Satisfactory in its building. Set in a Minecraft world. You can tell its in alpha, as it feels a bit clunky at times. But it has the potential to be awesome once they refine it from player feedback. I fired it up to give it a quick test play just before bed, just to see what its like... lets just say I only got 3 hours sleep last night.

[@JavierSalcedoC]

Very neat game with interesting design choices. Maybe you could try the Create mod for minecraft one day?

[@retrosa]

I want more now! This looks so cool.

[@monorakashiota8634]

Hey Z random question would you consider doing a complete souls born play through and possibly in order

[@keaganreilly4836]

I like this game a lot please don’t stop playing!!!

[@jasonbargy4905]

Oh what a beautiful morning. Oh what a beautiful day. Oh how I love this feeling. Everything is going my way.

[@tylerhoekstra7808]

It could be when you belt filling feeding the smelter. The smelter will only hold a total amount of materials needed for 3 smelts. Having it auto filling and crafting certain machines might only hold enough materials for 3 crafts and not over fill.

[@Cr0ss0vr]

thats exactly whats happening, every machine will hold a max of 3x the crafting amount... (automatically, manually loading it can have it hold more)

[@lukethenuke3000]

This game looks amazing! Can't wait for the full release. 18th

[@rrroooooooooo59]

You can lock the time of day in the a menu(alt-u), it will not affect the solar panels, other than the angle of sun

[@connorwilson2876]

Keep up the great work man, absolutely love your vids

[@TK-11538]

Factory will only take in materials as fast as it can manufacture. Adding more inputs won’t increase the building speed. I don’t know why your were so confused

[@jasonbargy4905]

Add some conveyor belts to the other production plants.

[@TheKefir111]

Ratio for solar panels and batteries is 1:1, as to how many solars u need...u need to produce double the power your factory takes, half will be consumed during day, half will go to batteries and be consumed at night, 1:1ratio should do the trick for night...

[@jasonbargy4905]

It is what it is.

[@lightneko]

It’s 2 miners per 1 smelter also not all items, like belts and poles, have to be on foundation.

[@gibdargeth]

Awesome!!! wanna see more lol

[@grisgris733]

Nice vids! I really want to play this game. Hope it comes to steam soon

[@Avetho]

Loaders act like Factorio's Inserters, they only add a few cycles of items in the input and no more. Loaders in Factorio though fill the inventory completely which is quite nice unless you need to tear down a section of machines XD

[@Toksyuryel]

lol now he's building foundation for his belts, which also don't need any

[@jasonbargy4905]

Do as you must.

[@jimyvanloock3510]

A couple batteries is seriously all that was needed

[@Skellitor301_VA]

Yeah but now he's set for future expansion

[@chris-nn5uj]

If you remove the power pole you remove the wire same time so then you can just place the power pole back and reconnect the wire the way you want to

[@abvolts-animation6008]

I kinda see this as factorio meets satisfactory meets Minecraft, but just because of the blocky terrain

[@ethanjack1212]

To find how many science packs are needed you need to check the research and it should say 0/the number of science packs needed

[@jasonbargy4905]

Connect the battery to the powerpole.

[@Devilinko2]

Builds stairs for future belts, then only makes strait belts not the ones he needs for the stairs

[@sirkriskringle]

If you did not see it but your machine was a Tier 1 , you need to up grade it . SKK .

[@mementomori5580]

Z seems to have a problem coming to terms with the fact that the smelter only has an internal inventory of input-items of 6...

[@TheTenGreen]

Smelter literally showing you that he can process 80 pieces of ore/m, and produce 40 metal sheets.

[@mementomori5580]

@@TheTenGreen So? Yeah, it can process 80 per minute, if you feed it constantly. Doesn't mean it needs to have an internal inventory of 80 at well.

[@FastSloth87]

@@TheTenGreen That's 1.33/s meaning the machine is keeping an inventory 4.5x higher.

[@postrender2726]

Be nice once it comes out on steam, not downloading more launchers think the dumb amount of them I have now is enough.

[@omkarjoshi7d810]

You could make like a bus type thing

[@StickksPlays]

Research tier 2. has a mistake. It only has only one slot for packs. when you open the research panel bottom left.. it says two slots.. but when you try to build the assembler tier 2.. the inventory has one slot. Maybe you can figure out a way??

[@walterroche8192]

I'll keep playing MC with that mod before I get invested in this. Needs lots more work and a actual *reason* to buy it as it looks like "just another crafting game" and there are many already on the market as is!

[@Ulnias]

Have you checked out Nova Lands yet? It's very forager like. But irs fun so far

[@JakeSimmer]

Nova Islands. you can edit your msg via the 3 dots on the rigth of your comment if you want. That game has a great free demo indeed. It's a great time to be a gamer isn't it. You may wanna check Apico, also free demo.

[@pellejohansson7629]

är du svensk låter som det från radion i backgrunden vid 33 framåt ?

[@UltimatePerfection]

This is the closest we will get to Factorio 3d unless Wube decides to make one.

[@Skellitor301_VA]

Satisfactory

[@UltimatePerfection]

@@Skellitor301_VA No, Satisfactory doesn't have procgen map. Not a true Factorio replacement.

[@Skellitor301_VA]

​@@UltimatePerfection You don't need a procedurally generated map to play Factorio. Infact there are maps in the base game that are not infinite and thus not procedural, and yet they give you just as much factorio gameplay as freeplay. The features that matter in Factorio is resource exploitation, building, automation, and expansion, all of which Satisfactory has in spades. Really the major things Satisfactory doesn't have are biter equivalent enemies and a way to counter them, and circuits. Both of which btw, a good chunk of the factorio playerbase either turn off or don't utilize. tl;dr the procmap isn't a major element of Factorio, you can play a premade map just fine.

[@UltimatePerfection]

@@Skellitor301_VA Infinite!=procedural. And with static map such as that in Satisfactory, you play maybe 2 games of it, then there's no point because you know where everything is on the map.

[@Skellitor301_VA]

@@UltimatePerfection Not really, the map is big enough with different starting places to make the game different with each playthrough. Plus they are actively updating the map. Also it doesn't matter if you feel that infinite doesn't mean procedural, that's not the point I was making. The way the map is made isn't the focus of the game, building a factory is. Also, again, factorio has prebuilt maps you can play on and still get the factorio feel. There are many ways you can make a factory in Satisfactory, and there are plenty of places to make factories in that game to with how big the map is. If the map was the downfall to Satisfactory, it wouldn't be as popular as it is. Because many people play for the factory elements, just like Factorio. The procedural element of Factorio is not necessary, you can just as easily play the game and have fun and replay value if the map was massive and static. Infact, IIRC the early builds of the game the map was infact the same for everyone you just spawned at different locations until they got procedural generation working.

[@LazieOne_]

Hi z long time fan are you going to do a minecraft modded video with the factory mods

[@Krzysiekoy]

This reminds me of Fortress Craft Evolved, but with cleaner graphics and a sane UI. Love it.

[@destinystorm5754]

Maybe I can’t work because it’s on maybe the only way I could be stored if you turn it off.

[@jasonbargy4905]

You forgot a battery.

[@Jwashwa]

The power tutorial showed that your HVP and LVP should be on separate grids, and you keep joining them together. I think batteries and solar panels go and the HVP grid, and get transferred to the LVP grid via the transformer. Also you can get the resources back from your basic smelters as well as the biomass. Also also the power poles can be put on the ground, they don't need a foundation.

[@vaultking9984]

I take it z never played factorio.

[@YukuriuddoHerusaizu]

and here you can see Z1 as he slowly develops a factorio player like mind. Z! you need to scale up alot, Like think big and then realize it needs to be bigger.

[@jasonbargy4905]

You think?

[@wholleyseasons3296]

You might want to consider moving your solar to the top of the hill as this will allow full sun absorption longer, and as you figured, too many batteries with the current number of solar panels. Good job so far.

[@vaultking9984]

EVERYONE. Please check out anton blast. It's like wario land.

you have the lowest belts also which might be causing a throughput issue
