I Used AI To Design The Perfect Factory 1

[@TotalXclipse]

Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed this experiment! Let me know if you think it was worth it!

[@Tim1999.]

@@TotalXclipse I loved the design a lot

[@jackblade281]

I have followed you for like a year and a half and watched a lot of your stuff and this might be the best design work I have ever seen in Satisfactory. Super inspired for 1,0 and my own content creation!

[@watchtowerdragon7098]

@TotalXclipse I enjoyed it very much! I haven't brought it 'to life' as you have, but I've also expermented with ChatGPT for sci-fi factory design concepts and got some nice ideas I'm itching to explore for 1.0 I'm about to attempt to take a few different angle screen shots of a site I plan to build in. I'll also take the same shots with a small checker grid of foundations placed for size reference and then feed those images to ChatGPT. I'm hoping to get it to keep as close a resemblance to the in-game terrain as possible but with build concepts. Just be sure to build an instructive prompt for the beginning of the conversation.

[@TheExileFox]

you need to build a "wet concrete" factory nicknamed "soggy biscuit"

[@buildo-rama]

I've seen a lot of satisfactory KZbinrs, some that everyone knows, some that no one knows, some of them improved their level constantly and others stagnated. You are a spectacular example of the first category, you have constantly improved to the point of catching up and overtaking guys clearly well above you 2 or 3 years ago. I'm just happy that the first satisfactory youtuber has also became one of the best in terms of design and technical mastery of the game.

[@TotalXclipse]

Give it a go

[@Gardureth]

yeah, i had a steep improvement curve at first, but i still make box-factories all the time. Design is really something else, knowing how to use the shapes available to create great looking walls etc is something i just cannot fathom.

[@copper4842]

Wow, just wow. I thought your aluminum factory would be your ultimate pre 1.0 design video. But jeez you went above and beyond here. This is just incredible to look at.

[@chrisharris2153]

How do you come up with a layout for the factory if you don't even have the machines down yet? You built an entire foundation and knew it would be right for what you needed. I have no idea how to do that or how to plan this stuff out. Could you do a tutorial on this or point me to something that will help? I build an entire dam system that I had to abandon because I I didn't know how to layout the inside. Please, please respond and any help would go so far for me. Sorry this is so long.

[@tuugestein96]

It mostly comes with experience. You gradually learn to intuit how much space things take, which helps with planning. Also, for anyone not called totalxclipse, simply giving yourself more space than you think you're gonna need and laying everything out before fully committing to the build both make things easier

[@halbouma6720]

This is one of the first times I've seen gripped metal foundations actually work well. The maintenance section is sweet. Awesome job!

[@technophobiakills4371]

Fantastic final build, Total. I really enjoyed seeing how much you do use blueprints. It made me think about how I can better utilize the BPs in 1.0. Thanks!

[@Jason-ji8ql]

It never ceases to amaze me the different designs one can come up with in this game. Can't wait for 1.0

[@skegniknak]

Mushroom Rock Nuclear Facility looks amazing TotalXclipse!

[@erictripps125]

This is an amazing video. I would have been happy with just one of these prompts and am pretty blown away by how many you did. Suggestion for your first build. Somewhere along the repeating hallway drop an off kilter mam and some tool boxes for decorations to suggest a work in progress area. You make very clean functional builds and I think incorporating things like reception areas, break rooms, and maintenance bays would really take you to the next level.

[@Nofgalsta]

[@TheOnlyToblin]

Not a fan of basically anything AI. But I will say: I've never been so amused seeing Total go absolutely ballistic when that Elite Spider jumped him in the Uranium Cave. I'm not even arachnophobic, but anytime I just get silently eviscerated by a giant spider, my heart rate spikes. They are SO fast, SO stealthy and SO deadly compared to anything else.

[@johalun]

I was looking for the last episode in the pre-1.0 series and couldn't find it but here it is! Maybe put that in the title? :)

[@Gardureth]

Are you going to upgrade the Waste-plant now that 1.0 has a waste solution? Its a new thing in 1.0 , some great blue-print idea's and the ratio's explained would help a lot of Ficsit Colleagues out, i hope that it will grant you lots of views too!

[@fictitiousnightmares]

I'm such a lazy gamer. I watched you build one section of the turn in the train tracks and I feel tired and like that is way too much work knowing how far you are going, let alone building a factory. I don't know how you keep the motivation to build such big and nice things.

[@NicholasBoll]

1.0 should come with some improvements to performance around non-interactable items like foundations. It would be interesting loading this save in 1.0 to see if the FPS still drops as much.

[@jeremyschultz4731]

long as you have an 3060 or say an 3080 with a older pc an you should be golden long as you have say 32 gigs of ram on pc with a decent cpu and you can make builds this big or almost as big with 16 gigs of ram. the con is if you want to go bigger you need an 4070 like gpu with way more pc ram to get really good fps 64 gig would be ideal.

[@vash3556]

The basic idea is sound: looking at external designs (designs not from yourself) for inspiration in order to push you beyond your comfort zone and help you experiment with composition elements you might normally never consider. Great idea. But considering the wide-ranging objections to gen AI tools such as this, it seems an odd thing to start bragging about and borderline advertising for. The same idea can (and has before) been achieved by looking at people's art and photography on google images. There's just as much inspiration and creativity in real people's real work - probably more. You showed yourself that you couldn't get the AI tool to give you directly applicable images of Satisfactory anyway. And indeed, it helps you think outside the box, to see designs that don't quit fit and to have to interpret how you could do them. So what then are the advantages to AI over real art? If you're not using the AI art as art itself but rather as inspiration then why not just use real art? You're not trying to pass the AI art off as your own, so you wouldn't be doing that with something you found on google either. The difference is that if you find something cool on google you can shout-out the creator (even simply as a footnote) whereas pictures from gen AI may include many stolen artworks that will never be linked back to the artists they were taken from. Try pushing your comfort zone juuuust a little bit more and dare to engage with real artists' work. It's just as easy to type 'prompts' into an image search engine, and the results are more rewarding, (and you don't have to contend with a flood for anti-AI comments like you're getting now).

[@Qacona]

Man, with a pitch like that, artists should be paying you not to advocate for them.

[@xitsmikey]

​@TotalXclipse why 96gb if i may ask instead of 128? It means that you gotta have 2x32 and 2x16 sticks which generally is a bad idea as different sticks have different clocks and the system will use the slowest of them all, as well as running in mixed mode instead of quad-channel

[@Bluecat-pm5js]

You give the Generative AI too much credit. Taking the image prompts and translating those into in game designs is way harder than it sounds. The designs and detail work are all you. If you are considering starting a new save for the release of Satisfactory 1.0, I think continuing the AI influenced designs is a good plan.
