The WORST Nuclear Disaster in Satisfactory...

[@ImKibitz]

Full playlist of how I built this world - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3KmYZWZfd95gNU Enjoy!

[@JoshBoam]

How do you feel about having to start over ? OR are you going too ? when 1.0 comes I think it will break alot of things in my factroy so I am thinking about starting over.. You have more time invested than most.. what are your thought?

[@mushu2137]

Kibz, CSS just dropped new teaser

[@TheRezro]

Fun fact. This facility has dozen high tech countermeasures, but it doesn't have filters on the impuls. A simple low tech solution what would prevent entire disaster! But TBH everyone did make this mistake sometimes.

[@TheRezro]

Also another good advise. Typically it better to have coal or fuel plants as backup systems. With option to cut them off from main grid and purely keep them for critical infrastructure. Building small backup facility is probably as much complicated as installing battery cell, but would remove major headaches. Overall it is also good to have switch facilities to turn off less critical infrastructure.

@@joshuadelaughter I know. I watched his playtrough 3 times already and am halfway trough the 4th

[@3nderall]

This is probably the sanity caused by realising how close together the release of the factorio expansion and satisfactory 1.0 are and that he's going to make a series on both

[@wild_lee_coyote]

It’s also good design practice for the next builds. His previous melt downs showed him how to build in redundancy and backups. This was the ultimate test. It proved his design worked and was recoverable from the worst case scenario. Next build will incorporate something similar.

[@PDjargon]

I had that same thought ages ago so my main thought for this video considering his past was....."he didn't show that he fixed the problem he made on camera.....did he forget to do so or just was saving us from seeing it" and it turns out he forgot to fix it ;P

[@GreaterGood258]

Lesson: all item inputs into the main power plant should have a smart splitter filter on them right before they enter the plant, no exceptions. That way, even if something somehow contaminates the line, it won't make it inside the plant and ruin everything. Even if that line is just carrying bologna sandwiches. Even if you've double and triple check that nothing other than bologna sandwiches are being sent to that belt. You will have a final, unavoidable check to make sure no BLTs contaminate your lunch breaks.

[@thatrandomoctoling]

29:42 I think if you connect a network with a broken fuse to another network it will just thinks that the entire network has a broken fuse

[@chrisswanson9430]

Correct!

[@victor-ling]

Bingo! A power switch's "switch" and the power network's fuse "switch" on a network are two separate things. The network's fuse blew when the priority switch disconnected during the power outage. So when he reconnected the networks together via the power switch, the fuse on the sub-network is still blown so when the networks are merged you get a notification that the fuse is still blown on the sub-network.

[@diokosa7001]

honestly I love how because of how large the scale of the project is the human mind physically can't remember the entirety of it. Seeing things you made previously being rediscovered and even in certain moments aiding you reminded me of going through old code, finding notes telling you what it is you were thinking when you created it and figuring out why it existed in the first place.

[@sunname6252]

My at least plan when building it up is a two step restart Step 1: Transition to a 3k-ish fuel back up that is on an entirely isolated grid as that's around how much geothermal can run. Step 2: Reboot the plant (or half of it as max/min is more than that geo-fuel provides) Step 2.5: Reboot the other half of the plant if its that big.

[@FarmerEnvoyXtreme]

Nuclear Distasters and Kibitz just goes so well together just like PB&J

[@itsKimi]

and this is why you need a smart splitter on any entry of your main resources input, in case something goes wrong and spaghettis start forming your smart splitter will avoid any critical "funny" moment

[@PhailRaptor]

Which works right up until you forget that bit when you built [insert factory here] where you quickly threw a power connection to your train station to get it started and never took it down again

[@Einfach_Ben]

18:51 that's probably because of the way Priority Switches work. If a subgrid is self-sustaining and its connection to the main grid is cut by the priority switch, it remains operational on itself. That also means that if you built a self-sustaining nuclear grid, it wouldn't crash because of a power overload, just the rest of the main grid

[@blanana_m]

[@svenneumann2816]

[@revampedharpy09]

@@aurias42 unless maybe the power coil aspect is actually to allow the belt to also act like a power pole for transmitting power along conveyor belts without building pylons alongside it? that way the belt doesnt need power, but the power coil has a functional use

[@glennog]

That spider, nonchalantly sitting on top of a highly radioactive train... you just need it bite you and you'll be a superhero

[@SilverFolfy]

Note to self: If I ever build a big nuclear plant in Satisfactory, make sure to include "belt poisoning protections" to all critical factory parts. i.e. some smart splitters before manufacturing input lines splitting off unwanted items, going into big overflow bin, with Awesome Sink hooked up. Sinking wouldn't work for all items, and not for long probably, but helps to drain the lines in case of emergency.

[@rishoh]

For your next 1.0 playthrough, might I suggest running the power for each of your separate factories through isolated dedicated power building? think "breaker boxes" but the size of a small house. Wiring discipline in this game is important.

[@TimiHendrix1]

This was the playthrough that Kibz was doing doing that. He put a ton of work in to doing just that as you can see from the video. But as im sure most of us have experienced the longer the playthrough goes the more you let things slip.

[@irrelevant_noob]

Discipline?! How do you power up a sky-bridge passage-way that you want to be able to hover by? Or the Towers for the zip-line, should i leave those unconnected? 🤔 ( But that would mean i can't hover near them, would have to use up fuel. :-s )

When a fully connected network crashes, all power poles flip off. When you reconnect the again-working power to the already off switches it soft crashes the grid again as a safety feature. All you need to do is reflip any switch on the connected grid

Then in the control room I will have the exact step by step to follow to isolate, repower, and restart the main plant.

[@TimiHendrix1]

I really appreciated seeing all the work you put in to having a backup plan for your power being utilized. We got to see a bit of it through the whole playthrough, you saved your self with your backups many times. But it was awesome seeing that all your work would've been worth it if the whole thing had actually crashed.

[@generalxabierosa2636]

YES! Great to see you back kibz!

[@jarno8608]

Whenever you bridge a crashed powergrid with an running grid, it will crash the running grid

[@ZwerginTDM]

So, I think a problem you bumped into was an A/B side of the switches when you turn them on. If the power is coming in the "B" side and the "A" side of the grid blew a fuse instead of being simply Turned off, it may connected the "blown fuse" on A side, and mark the "B" side as now including a "blown fuse" and it all shuts down. I am not positive about this, and I re-wired my latest map everything as going into out and out of B... but the key may be if the "B" side was marked as blown, it may do it as well. Looking forward to my rebuild with Smart Switches and controlled cascading segments.

For these, you could also do what's done IRL. Have backup generators and large fuel storage at the NPP site. Also nuclear fuel buffers already in place as well as nuclear waste buffers (for the game case). You could then decouple the NPP from the grid (which you should have different switchable circuits for each part of the grid), start the generators, and restart the NPP. Then recouple the NPP to the grid

Just waiting for 1.0 to get started all over again .

[@jasonknop984]

I would suggest making use of more priority switches. One on the outside of each factory. Once you have a large enough spread of factories, just group each one into a category: aluminum, steel, iron etc; Space Elevator, Rubber, Plastic etc; and instead of running around all over the map, just isolate the factories you don't need running, turn them all off and once ready to reboot the map, go from smallest draw to largest.

[@Key_Smasher]

I see indications of two issues you want to know about. First, when a power grid goes offline, it sits in a fault state. If you use a switch to separate a faulted grid and then turn one side back on, the other side is still in fault. If you do not reset this side first, when you turn the connection between them back on you will fault both sides again. I put power poles on both sides of any switch to see that each side is healthy before connecting them with the switch. Second, take a look at your array of particle accelerators. You turned them off at a switch, but when you restored nuclear power, these were running again and you did not turn on that switch. This means you have a power source to them that runs around your switch. You will want to fix this to correctly isolate them when needed.

[@AidenWilsonFVR]

Another kibitz video 🥳🥳

[@andre_601]

That's why it is a good idea to have a completely separate power grid just for the powerplant and waste handling. Because should something in the main grid fail is the secondary one there to handle the waste processing, allowing it to remain online and deal with the waste.

[@BufoToxin-i3p]

[@thzockt]

"But its clearly working" walks around a corner... "Oh, the lights are off..."

[@DennouNeko]

For connecting the power grids, what I noticed playing the game is that when you connect a working grid to one that blew a fuse it tends to blow a fuse in working one just out of principle. Dunno why, but it's just how it is.

[@nameless5413]

Kibs: "Managed to avoid a complete grid shutdown in my main play through (...) so lets make that happen now and see how i manage." and that is exactly what separates plebs like myself from madmen and masters like Kibbitz (well the deliniation line between madness and mastery is rather think in case of this factory)

[@GrandHighGamer]

For a game that's generally a bit less intense than Factorio (finite world, infinite resources, no logic stuff outside of power switches) this was remarkably involved. Quite cool how 'real' trying to fix this massive mess ended up feeling (minus the pockets stuffed full of half a million barrels of nuclear waste). Makes you appreciate the giant control rooms in actual nuclear power plants.

[@harbhub]

[@cybertramon0012]

I just liked how after intentionally sabotaging his system to simulate a meltdown, Kibitz almost had a real meltdown because he FORGOT to stop putting caterium into the system.

[@willvanauger3273]

honestly its facinating how real even if basic Satisfactory treats this kind nuclear disaster. got to have power to generate power, and have to have power to cool even an inactive reactor and the constant battle to get ahead of those two things.

[@matthewdebeer8453]

Not only true for nuclear power. Most non-nuclear sources on the grid require power to make power. A full black start of a grid is an incredibly tricky thing to do!

[@n085fs]

To turn a breaker back on, one needs only click the lower half of the handle. Click+Hold+Drag is not required.

[@zerumsum1640]

While this is an impressive recovery, it's not quite a full system crash. You had fuel rods left. What really will cause a problem is when your grid goes down gradually because uranium production locks up. I uh... once forgot to hook a single power line up and that crashed a 300 GW nuclear plant. I had taken down every other power source around the world for parts/space and had to build the mother of fuel based kicker plants to spin uranium back up. IIRC it was about 10 GW in fuel power to get that going. After that i stored about 200 large tanks of fuel on site in the roof of the kicker plant and deactivated it, as i wasn't sure that i had found the source of my issues. I hadn't and was really happy that i had stored that fuel.

[@BornDepressed]

I have a "bandaid" solution to this and that is a WASTE DUMP OVERFLOW known as the TOWER OF PAIN. A stacked item container connected top to bottom with elevators that forces the waste to climb the tower. The denser the waste stacks the bigger the radiation gets though, so you can actually make an entire region radiated. Man that was a fun solution...

[@SD40-q3o]

I have 2 backup power sources for my nuclear power plant. 1 : a fully automatic backup generator that powers the uranium fuel rods production that can last for more than 30 hours; 2 : a 500 GWh backup battery that powers the pumps for the reactors.
