So are you thinking about downloading the save and showing me what you can do with the starter factory?

[@duyelh]

definitely ^_^ I've been playing since Update 5 was on the cusp of general build and trying to find sweetspots in each spawn location. I might make a second floor balcony for more Concrete and some Copper Sheet production and go from there

[@zalimbunny]

I would love you to review my stater setup. One point though. It would be better to do these setups from ground, when jetpacks/hoverpacks are not unlocked

[@fasddfadfgasdgs]

Honestly there needs to be more guides for smaller factory tutorials in this game. I think most people that go into this after watching videos is to make a mega base at the start. This is a perfect way of starting out. yes over time your total factory space did grow but following it and noticing the changes worked out well especially in the grassy plain start.

[@Mode-Selektor]

Agreed. The issue with building big, is that unless you really know what you're doing you are ALWAYS going to mess it up somewhere.

[@gio2vanni86]

You have no idea how long it took me to find a video like this. Every Google result was someone's mega factory setup or tier 6+ advice and optimal setups. Meanwhile I've been struggling to keep up with my power and reinforcer plate consumption while I try to figure out more optimal builds. Thank you, so much

[@ashhesilksong1977]

I just discovered this game earlier this week, so this tutorial came just in time. Felt very overwhelmed at first, but this guide was amazing and now, because of you, I feel like I'm getting the hang of things and this starter factory was an awesome foundation for understanding basic production functionality!

[@venanreviews]

I think a misconception a lot of people go through in starting this game out is the ability to build like this with such ease. This is a fantastic starting video for people but I am afraid of people getting used to the concept of "flying indefinitely" to build, which they can't unlock until the Jetpack if you can even compare it with how unsteady it is. I know there are mods out there but I think most people going into this game will go in without mods or knowing there are mods. I know it doesn't make for an interesting video, but building without mods would be neat to dissect and look at.

[@Ecliptor.]

Yeah, the lookout tower helps tho

[@jamiec8096]

No longer an issue since the Just Fly mod is now built into the game. See the Advanced Game Settings. I always disliked the Jetpack and have never used it. As for people not knowing about mods. Even a year ago I would say Most people knew about mods, but are under the Misconception that mods are Cheating or Evil.

[@venanreviews]

@@jamiec8096 I personally just prefer games as they're intended without mods. If the devs want to add a feature in they saw from mods into the base of the game, then that's perfect for me lol.

[@alexmcd378]

I think the biggest tip in the video was unspoken. Lay out your factory from an elevated position. It was so much easier to see where things needed to go from above.

[@watchvideo7225]

Nice factory. Simple, efficient and manageable for the eyes. The only thing i would have changed though is to only use 1 Sink and handcraft a couple of RIPs for a MK2 belt, as it is the most energy expensive building at this state.

[@eileneje1]

I've been playing mega factory style for a couple of years (with the help of product transporters) and am transitioning to multiple smaller factories. Thanks so much for the tutorial. My factory is looking much nicer than anything I've done before!

This vid was exacly what i needed for some clear overview of wat i wanted to do with my beginning base! Thanks a lot!

[@hollismccray3297]

Wonderful starting layout! I just picked up Satisfactory and am starting again after making a terrible mess of choosing my starting location and building my first factory. I'm going to be using this as the basis for my factory. I'm going to swap around the sections though because of where my resource nodes are. It'll be biomass, copper, concrete, then iron for me.

[@Mode-Selektor]

I think this video really shows the importance of aesthetic building design. At first, it didn't really look like something above my building level, then you added the entirely non functional shell and POW it looks like a slick factory.

[@Megaspy101]

this is extremely useful, my first factories were spaghetti centered around my hub. They also sucked at being efficient. this makes everything so much easier and so easy to see.

[@kathleenvissani1883]

Thank you, this is a great starting point. After mucking about for a few hours to unlock tiers and gather resources, I re-designed my starter base inspired by this video.

[@storytsunami]

[@KevinPlayingGames]

Really great tutorial...I've been building this factory while playing/pausing your video, and I've learned so much about this game. I'm building all of this above my original starting base because of limited real estate. I've found an area with 3 pure iron nodes, 1 pure copper node and 1 pure limestone node, all within 150 meters of one another, but it's kind of hemmed in by stone cliffs. This was a perfect excuse to build a big platform above, and slowly deconstruct my original machines as I completed the various lines from your build. I'm just about to add the overflow pieces, but I'm already anxious to dive into the next video. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain and describe in such detail how to ramp up manufacturing of the basic components.

[@UltraXan]

Ah, my guy, I know *exactly* which spot you're talking about. It's a wonderful spot, if a little on the cramped side. I started building my megafactory there, though I started it around the time Update 3 came out. I was super utilitarian at the time, so even though I took huge amounts of lateral and vertical space I ended up building these massive, hyper-cramped, difficult to navigate buildings. I'm thinking I want to tear it all down and start over, making something truly worthwhile with the space. Anyway, props to you have having a good eye for real estate lol

[@andrejzivkovic3949]

Are you guys talking about western slopes? I started mega factory there too.

Hey thanks so much for providing us with the save. I was going to literally copy your base with the video hehe... and then play on from there. Have downloaded and subbed :)

[@Toughbeard]

This is by far the best Tutorial video for this game. Your calm voice helps, too :) For Concrete, once you have Mk2 line you can run it at full efficiency. Instead of underclocking, grab a Normal and an impure node for a total of 90 units merge them then split them for a perfect 45 to run your constructors flat out. The extra 4 Mw is well worth the efficiency boost of your concrete production. this is of course correct for load balanced factories. Right now I always use manifold because when you start upgrading along the way your output will constantly increase and load balanced systems are hard to upgrade. Again Awesome video series!!

[@TheCaptDude]

This is the best starter tutorial I have seen thus far! Thank you soooo much! Can't wait for the next ones! I started playing on Update 5. You would rage if you saw my world.

If the Alt. Cast Screw is unlocked, you can rework your Screws/Rods lines to snug an assembler for rotors (the screw/rods mergers are directly feeding smart splitters priorizing the Assembler, storage unit is filled from Assembler Overflow); once the Alt. stiched Iron plates is unlocked, you can do the same between Steel plates and wires and voilà :)

looking forward to it, restarted so many times.never been past lvl 4 so any help is appreciated.

What I've found helps is to future proof things by putting way more foundation space between setups than you think you'll need. And tap resources like a mad man.

Damn this video is God given I was thinking of quitting satisfactory

[@Swaggaccino]

Great guide but there is a COLOSSAL playtime gap between the conveyer belt mk2 upgrade and smart splitters. I'm talking a good ten hours. For you to research smart splitters, you need gold. To be able to mine gold, you need to blow up the boulder on top of gold ore deposits. That requires explosives which requires sulfur which requires mining sulfur as well as sulfur research and getting a ton of other collectibles / research up. Since I'm a newb maybe I'm missing something but I feel like you could have mentioned that or idk. Nonetheless its still an amazing guide. Thank you!.

[@TotalXclipse]

'm not sure - it really depends on your pace. For example the first space elevator speed time is less than half an hour. I normally take 4 hours to do the first space elevator phase but at the same time, the caterium doesn't necessarily need to have a boulder removed, most of them don't have boulders and even those that do can be manually mined if thats what you want to do, by placing a portable miner on the node the boulders on. Again though, there is no rush, take it at your leisure 🙂

[@Swaggaccino]

@@TotalXclipse Ahh I didn't know that not all caterium have a boulder on top. I went to 2 different spots and assumed it was every single caterium deposit. Will try to find a new spot. Thanks.

What do you underclock the concrete to?

[@freshairkaboom8171]

Honestly, until I send off my first payload in the space elevator, I don't bother building anything nice. It feels great setting up a proper factory when I have tons of resources so I can place all the buildings and flooring I need at the same time, and just work on the factory when I have more free time. That's why my first build is put down as fast as possible in any possible direction without worrying about clipping. Once I build the factory later and have it ready, I just quickly replace the miner and build it on top of 4m high foundations, get an elevator straight into the miner and route it right onto the factory. THEN I can take my time removing the mess without sacrificing too much efficiency.

I've been following along as I build and chose build in nearly the same area, mostly using your video to understand the ratios better and how to split lines to limit waste. it's been a huge help. the only "issue" I've come to is the point in the video where you unlock smart splitters to feed the sink is far earlier than "normal" gameplay would allow. this may have something to do with the changes to tech tree in the M.A.M for update 6 because you can't progress the Caterium tree far enough until you have stun bolts for the rebar gun, which you can't get until you unlock the rebar gun because it takes regular rebar bolts to research and you can't unlock the rebar gun until you progress nearly the entire alien organics tree and in my specific case, I'm having trouble locating spider enemies to their stingers it's not a huge problem, it just means there's a few extra steps required before having smart splitter

Could you substitute one of the copper wires for a copper sheet constructor? Is that necessary?

[@pheumann86]

I'd add one, albeit because they earn quite a lot of ticket points and also to have a little stack once you get to coal and need tubing. You'll want to make the transition from biofuel to coal asap.

[@ragnar6482]

so what's the exact ratio of underclock to get full eficiency on the concrete constructor ??

[@ragnar6482]

nvm I found it it's 10 production of concrete per min ;)

Really good work, however I have a question, how do you enable fly mode in satisfactory. I am new to this so please help me out. Much appreciated.

[@fakeexserta]

It's creative mode. I don't know how you get it. But you get the hover pack at Tier 7, I think. But then you also need to be within 36 metres of a powered building or a power pole

@@fakeexserta thank you so much.

Its a mod , there is a don of mods u can use to some qol :)

8:05 you could have said that its possible to add more portabel miners to a node to speed up the process. Also helps alot to run there and grab 2k ore instead of 100 at a time

[@Navajonkee]

This. And those portable miners are mid term investments anyway, cause they'll be used up for the automated miners later, so it doesn't hurt to make 10 too much at the beginning.

[@liiiinder]

@@Navajonkee And you only want the ores to handcraft the stuff for MAM research in the beginning before power is automated :D Too bad biofuel generators cant be feed with belts

[@Navajonkee]

@@liiiinder If it becomes a hassle to refill them with solid biofuel, then you've far overstayed their welcome anyway. :D
