This is The PERFECT Spot - Satisfactory 1.0 Lets Play Ep.03

[@Ghost_Hybrid]

If you put a layer of 1m thick foundation under the water, you can get the water extractors to snap to the grid. I felt your frustration with placing them, and kind of lucked into figuring this technique out.

[@langni1407]

U can also snap them to the lookout towers, spread the word

[@dondumitru7093]

I build a foundation, and place a pipeline splitter on the foundation. You can now snap the water extractor along one dimension with that pipeline splitter. I also use a foundation on the opposite side, and slide the water extractor to where the railing just touches that backstop foundation. I have now placed a water extractor with high precision. Having placed one water extractor, I can now snap new water extractors left and right of it.

[@MikaMikaMika89]

Wow, 300 hours in my game and didn't know that.

[@jasperwillem]

Opened comments to say this.

[@saysikerightnow3914]

I would recommend using a parachute before you get a jetpack and a fuel source going. The parachute is actually overpowered, because it can basically climb any wall with less than an 80 degree incline, it removes fall damage, and it call functionally increase horizontal jump distance. It's also really cheap, because it's in the Mycelia MAM tree. You can choose not to use it, but I find it to be extremely helpful in the early game for exploration and vertical traversal.

[@jarodgraham5161]

Parachute broken 👍 would recommend

[@Aharpoon24]

I remember the Parachute being a consumable. Guess that changed some time ago

[@MikaMikaMika89]

Yep I didn't know it had been changed to be non consumable, until after I had a jetpack with fuel. It would have been amazing early game.

[@paulelderson934]

Ladders and parachutes. A match made in heaven. Throw in a rebar gun and you can basically conquer the entire map in the early game.

[@13games96]

​@@Aharpoon24I thought it was still consumable so I haven't touched them either

[@TheCorpsehatch]

18:38 I don't even bother using my Xenobasher on creatures anymore once I learned you can kill them when driving a vehicle. My 1.0 build is called _The Great Dying_ because I kill every creature I run into.

[@kalekain3521]

That prefect spot you mention I actually labeled “Energy Park” in one of my previous saves. It’s that damn good.

[@atimholt]

I've been doing a *lot* of exploring lately, and getting pretty familiar with the whole map. It's a new experience for me to be watching someone leave the grassy fields and for me to recognize everything I'm seeing.

[@CaptainAwsome]

22:32 nitro rocket fuel alt recipe skips the turbofuel and compacted coal step so you take fuel+nitrogen+coal+sulpher for rocket fuel+compacted coal

[@0Sybylle0]

I was hard drive hunting when I found this place, and I happen to have the alternate recipe you mention. The hunt ended abruptly. I am now stuck with building a massive power factory. Fortunately there is limestone nearby too, I was running out of concrete fast ^^!

[@TheBurntMan]

If you use the heavy oil residue alt recipe + diluted fuel alt recipe + nitro fuel alt recipe with 600 crude oil + 800 heavy oil residue + 1,600 water + 1,600 fuel + 800 coal + 1,600 sulfur + 1,200 nitrogen gas, you get 2,400 rocket fuel/min🤌 Also, if you're feeling...feisty...and for around 3,600MW extra, you can somersloop the nitro rocket fuel blenders and pump out 4,800 rocket fuel/min effectively doubling your total power output from 143,750MW to 287,500MW. It's 460 fuel generators running at 250% if you're up for it.

[@Uncle_Mel]

combined with diluted fuel, I built a 188GW rocket fuel plant there😂

[@0Sybylle0]

@@TheBurntMan "One year later..." XD

[@FredFredBurger92]

Yep, but you're also gonna get a lot less rocket fuel out of it cause there's no way to recycle the compacted coal.

[@danielbright5672]

When mining Caterium, I always put the smelting at the drill site, as you have a 3/1 smelting ratio and each ingot then goes on to make a LOT of quickwire - it's most efficient to transport long distance in the form of the ingots

[@Pikawarps]

Things i learned in this episode even after beating the game; 1. right click on zip line and it locks. 2. There’s a toggle wheel on cables for other power source builds

[@paulelderson934]

I don't know about the power cable build wheel, will definitely try that

[@BrokenGlytch]

Hunting with the tractor has been my favorite feature of 1.0.

[@kawazu874]

Same here

[@dragade101]

I would make a collection of photos of roof designs you like. Like doing image searches for “decorative contemporary roof”, “brutalist roof” or anything that strikes your fancy. Keeping in mind, humans rarely see roofs and when we do, they look bland. Check out how boring cities look from a 2D satellite view. If every building is the same height, they start to blend together too much. Naturally this same problem exists in a game. (I do like mixing flat and slanted roofs with different levels part way. Like Eichler roofs are often two or three parts, even if they are simple in their visual language.)

[@starlystorm6834]

I don't know if it's tied to your sprint being set to toggle instead of hold, but on the zipline I just have to tap shift once and I will always go the faster speed along the lines. I also support using power towers with a platform every time so that if I fall off or see something I want to explore/collect, I can just hop right back onto the line from the nearest tower.

[@aoeuable]

You might actually want to skip turbo fuel, there's so much oil there that a basic fuel setup will not cut into any other production and rocket fuel is just *so* much better. And with the alternative recipe, also dead simple to set up. I haven't even yet bothered to re-use the compacted coal side product yet there's so many resources there.

[@mvdrie]

When placing water extractors, use submerged foundations. Build those 1 meter below the water and water extractors will snap on them.

[@Spanner1971B]

I guess his Ep 02 didnt upload, which explains why the gao seemed so long! Hopefully, he'll see these comments and figure it out! Love the work, TX! EDIT - just realised this isnt the Guided Plauthrough this is the starter factory playthrough. It all makes sense now!

[@greencharisard1444]

The tractor driving itself back home had me in stitches

[@billriddle9215]

Just started playing,great tips but very overwhelmed on the factories you set up,I'm just unlocking things until I can get a system going...Thank You.

[@EnderSpy007]

I think the "Temp" marker when scanning is the Multi-Node thing that appears in the top of your screen, to show there is more than 1 node a significant distance away. They don't seem to appear if you're close enough

[@sh0ker]

This is not the guided playthrough guys

[@zaxles]

dang been waiting for ep 2

[@xenodestroyer4803]

Just letting you know the alt recipe for Rocket fuel is 100x better than the base version that is compacted coal and Heavy Oil Residue. It also makes Compacted coal and you can use that for whatever like weapons manufacturing or making more power. A full 600 pipe of Rocket fuel can make an upwards of 36,000 MW (I rounded up). The whole Blue Crater Region is perfect for manufacturing things like weapons to whatever else like some of the best parts in the game or just necessary building materials.

[@Leeroy_the_Potato]

To get the water extracters to be even i use a look out tower next to it and it will lock to it. No need for underwater foundation. Plus i have a tower to see above and arrange things

[@mrandersen6872]

Where's episode 2??!?!?!

[@RubyOneTake]

It's not labeled episode 2, I think the title says "Perfect Starter Factory in Update 1.0"

[@feuchfuss8383]

But the factory is different isn’t it ?

[@BobBobby-uh9zz]

No it definitely has ep 01 in the title, assume it’s an error.

[@productionspecialists1771]

There’s 2 different playthroughs I believe.

[@sage84]

I was wondering about that. He said he was uploading a video for this series once a week.

[@mistressminerva3382]

0:47 "1.210 MW" - or 1.21 Giga Watts , yes this is a back to the future reference The Blue Crater is crazy good , it has an insane amount of good ressources in it and close by. You can easily climb from the start of the game to Phase 4 with just the stuff in the Blue Crater alone.

[@Magermh]

If your looking at compacted coal. Clock the coal power plants to 105Mw. I regularly build compacted coal power plants and recycle it latter. Good luck in your game looking good for a start. :)

[@thebeardedgamer-ballistix3323]

So much fun to watch your videos! Keep up the great work.

[@TheCorpsehatch]

Been have so much fun with 1.0. Still haven't complete Phase 3. Taking my time on the build. Using structural parts in unconventional was they were meant for really gives you a ton of options.

[@DonkenAndToivolaRR]

There seems to be a bug with vehicles that let them return to a place used in a previous route, even if autopilot is deactivated. I have had an explorer that did the same. I had it running coal for a co-player to demonstrate how routes are set. Deleted the route, deactivated autopilot and still it always ran to the coal miners up in the northwest. A real pain if your hunting hard drives in the east and south. Simple solution: put the fuel from tank to inventory and drive it empty. Then it will stay put until you figure out how to correctly turn off autopilot and delete the route terminally.

[@atimholt]

Could you also just delete and rebuild it real quick? Different vehicle at that point.

[@DonkenAndToivolaRR]

@@atimholt yes, that should work also

[@zephyrscythe3743]

Love the unpainted and copper combo. I was using that for a while but switched to a carbon and caterium combo for my desert area

[@igorsilva6992]

You can put a Splitter directly ON a conveyor lift? That is news to me, that can save a ton of space instead of having it snap to the front of the lift.

[@MikaMikaMika89]

Spitters have 100% accuracy, even if you are moving or flying, the only way to avoid is to change direction AFTER they fire. I think it's in need of tuning to be honest. That said spitters and chargers are easy to deal with when you get "the knack", spiders? Specifically the giant ones? Act like HOMING MISSILES. After 100 hours in my 1.0 save I just turned off aggressive animals, there are far too many of them, and they are far too lethal. It was making me want to stop playing every time I went to explore and I had the rifle already. Not even going to get in to the frustrations of how some of them seem to have 10x hp, or the poison ones. They need to tune them down.

[@dramoth64]

You did a method using a barrier, clipping a wall over it, and then running the wall up to the bottom of the power connection and then running some wire to a connectors under the power block. Looked hella tidy.

[@UncleBandaids]

Hey - Been loving the videos. I recently have been getting into Satisfactory and your videos have been a huge help. I have a question though - I hear so much about MK 4 belts and how thats the turning point in the game when factories get good, but why? I assume its cause of how fast they are but im wondering if you would ever consider making a video outlining how to make a good start of a base using MK 4 belts for us noobs haha either way, thanks again!

[@Cyrikyty]

22:57 I don't think making Ionized fuel for power is actually worth it. The machines it takes to make enough power shards will eat up almost all the power you'll get out of it. For my 1800/m Rocket fuel plant I made in this spot I'd need 23 Quantum Encoders constantly making Power Shards to turn all of that into Ionized fuel. That's 23 GW of power drain on average right there, not even counting any extra prerequisites (or the sheer amount of space required). It'd add about 44 GW of power output (before counting the aforementioned 23+GW of power drain), I'll just build a second round of Rocket fuel if I'm running out of power.

[@mrgoatbeard]

Damn the decorating is next level I thought my stuff looked cool.
