This FOREVER Changed The Way I Think In Satisfactory Update 6

[@Xero1of1]

I really, really like your building style. As far as your issue with power... Turn off the other 11 refineries and just have 1 working to make your heavy oil residue. Store it somewhere and let it build up. Then get your turbo fuel system up, turn off all but one refinery, let the turbo fuel build up. Then start building your fuel generators. You'll have a stockpile of fuel ready to go, so when you have enough power generation set up to run the full turbo fuel production line, start turning things back on. It's a super-simple way to manage huge builds. Also, you can get clever with power switches so you can have one full production line set up on one switch and all the other excess production set up on another. In the case of a power failure in the future, turn off the excess but keep the emergency line running. You'll also need an entire building full of batteries... probably 100MW to 1GW worth of power storage. It'll give you enough time to keep things running while you fix whatever went wrong. Awesome building style! I might actually borrow some of that... lol.

[@approximatelybored]

Super awesome tip with power storage and switches 👌 definitely doing that 😎

[@Wwillswords]

It really bugs me that you aren't using heavy oil residue as your initial recipe for most return on crude oil. But that's my personal efficiency issue

[@approximatelybored]

Switching to a HOR + Polymer recipe as I'm typing this 🫡

[@FireheartOfTheBlog]

You architecture is top-notch! Just finished the playlist and subscribing for more. This has been very inspirational for my own builds.

[@blackIce504]

I love the circular walk way around the rock that really caught my eye, sure all your other buildings from a design point look really cool as well but the walk way stood out to me the most. Keep it up.

[@approximatelybored]

Glad you like it 😎

[@CasperOlsenDK]

Place a MAM every 10 mins doing hard drive hunt, insert a new hard drive and remove the MAM. The research continues after you dismantle it and it don’t require power. it could have save you a few hours of research time

[@approximatelybored]

Yeah, I was keen on collecting a number of drives before scaning for the purpose of showing it. The price I had to pay for a few seconds of footage... 🙈

[@sharkking9679]

The alternate fuel is a game changer. Making 40k of power out of 300 m³ oil

[@approximatelybored]

Not broken at all 🤯

[@sharkking9679]

@@approximatelybored not really, due to the complexitiy to get this up and running it feels not "overpowered"

[@chemislife]

Why would a rolling start not be feasible? Power on one set to get going. Once you have one fuel generator running it should allow for 1-2 more sets to be powered on. That was how I rolled over my factory from biomass burners to coal. I haven't reached fuel gen yet but I can't imagine the transition being much different other then you probably won't be switching off all of your old source of power like you need to do when getting off biomass.

[@approximatelybored]

My potato brain 🧠 didn't put 1 and 1 together 😅 there are switches on machines for a reason 👍

[@halbouma6720]

Yep, I bootstrap everything for that reason. Start with the smallest number and work the power load up. Avoiding overclocking during the ramp up also helps too.

[@chemislife]

@@halbouma6720 the section of the game I'm not looking forward to is starting up nuclear power. Up to that point you don't have to deal with byproducts and especially not items that can't be deleted that are hazardous. Balancing everything and speeding to partial accelerators to process the waste sounds like a pain.

[@brodriguez11000]

@@chemislife Distributed factories, and drones. The later keeps most of the radiation away from you.

[@satibel]

you can also cable one by one, usually I start my new power generation on a separate grid with a few biomass burners, and then connect it. depending on the length 4-10 biofuel per biomass burner is enough to get it running a good tip I've seen is using wall poles and putting 2 close to act as a switch that disconnects a whole grid, you can temporarily cut off the main factory while keeping only power generation, and you can start almost anything.

[@parable2788]

Underrated channel I love your build style much more than anyone I’ve seen on yt so far.

[@chuckgenglerjr.2177]

I like the way you have your pipes colored, did you color manually thru the customizer or a mod ? if so which one ?

[@approximatelybored]

Manual coloring 😎

[@KDSBestGameDev]

Getting Coupons is usually way harder than getting those items. Heavy Oil Residue and Turbo Fuel can make you power rich!

[@approximatelybored]

Turbo fuel is the plan 👌

[@johnrtrucker]

What you can also do with alternate recipes is take 300 crude oil and with some trickery make 900 rubber or plastic

[@approximatelybored]

Yeah. The alternates ar kind of OP

[@johnrtrucker]

@@approximatelybored sort of lol they are OP if you don't mind setting up about 100 refineries to get that output lol

[@brodriguez11000]

@@johnrtrucker Overclocking can help with that.

THANK YOU For Clicking On This Video! NEW! Episode out now! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIGwlIGXhZKbmpY

[@rameking1]

I love the visuals! But PLEASE reconsider feeding the refineries from below. That's how mine are currently and I so greatly regret it. Always feed liquids into machines from an elevated place. Pumps aren't good enough.

[@approximatelybored]

TY 🙏 What if I pump stuff to a reservoir high up and then then feed the machines from it?

[@dntnawall]

@@approximatelybored yo. this video on fluid tower mechanics might be of interest kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnbblZV4fNlqn8k i haven't tried it in my save yet but as far as i know the mechanics are still the same. looking forward to your next vid

[@omni057]

I have like 500hrs in so far and I've learned that you can easily do it from below as long as have a buffer really close, with a pump directly up to the machine. Just give it some time to fill up and you are good to go! Does take a little tinkering at times, but I've gotten 100% efficiency doing it, making 450 alclad sheets/450 alum casings per min.

[@omni057]

You also get diluted fuel via Blender later on, so i wouldn't commit too much time to the bottled method yet.

[@rochelleholifield5117]

Just curious how you got all the hard drives to show up on your map. Mine does not do that when i click that icon. Its just a stamp.

[@approximatelybored]

Open Satisfactory map online on one screen, then place markers manually in game 😅

[@AlleluyaChuu]

Hi amazing video ! Is the pump a mod or the vanilla one from Update 6 ? I use no mod on it, and my vanilla one dont look like it at my tier that's wierd :D

[@lloydatc]

It's an MK 2 pump

[@AlleluyaChuu]

@@lloydatc Oh that's why, thanks !

Hey! Love the series! Im working om my 17.000MW with 192 coal generator facitily atm. It has been 304 hours and its still far from done…. Sometimes i wonder why i do this to myself… Oke bye

[@legendaryone696]

how do you just MAKE A CIRCLE around a random object and it be so perfect? It would have taken me at least 15 tries to get it to be "okay" and I would have had to settle.

[@approximatelybored]

[@katatonicetc.7883]

First off wow your build style is beautiful and I could listen to you talk all day. But more importantly, don’t you run into issues feeding refineries from below? I can never get it to work. Hell I can’t even get a straight 10 refinery manifold to work right with no elevation change at all.

[@approximatelybored]

Thank You! I haven't had issues before other than the floor hole not wanting to allow liquid through but I guess we'll have to find out if the piping thing fails or not.
