[@Lil_Puppy]

Powered walls/foundations would be fantastic; 1:4 and 1:6 and 1:9 (1 pole per 9 machines for the 10 connector) those ratios are how many poles we have to have just to connect a small set of machines to any power source, multiplied by at least 2 just for the power lines. If the power connectors connected a power source/grid to a wall or foundation to provide power to the entire system of machines on that foundation grid we could eliminate potentially thousands of objects from our saves and wouldn't have to add thousands of objects to our saves just to hide the connectors and lines themselves. It would free up all that just for more creativity. Add more corner stuff!

[@ConfuciousDragon]

Agree heavily with this. Not to mention the amount of time spent running cables... And especially with the addition of the hoverpack, would make things a lot easier. (I do believe your ratios should be 1:3, 1:5, and 1:9 or 1:4, 1:6, and 1:10. But this is irrelevant)

Per the Powered Wall - This would be an INCREDIBLE Boon to a lot of factory builders, myself included. Now, I Am Not A Game Designer, but I think making it work would be very simple. You can have an "Origin Platform" with a big heavy-duty transformer box and maybe some cool-looking user interface stand or something, which comes with a standard 1x1 or 2x2 style foundation platform. Powered Foundation platforms themselves would look like normal foundations, but with a skin-change to give them a cladding of copper, maybe a big copper X in the middle of them. Powered platforms would all have to connect to the origin platform, which itself would be wired to your power grid. The platforms themselves should work exactly like standard foundations, everything from zoops to how they snap together. All powered platforms must be connected by other platforms to origin points in order to work. Powered platforms should probably cost resources you'd get from the mid-to-late game, giving Power-poles their time to shine in factory construction before you start building 'wireless' factories. Then any building which is constructed on the platforms draws power automatically, using the origin-platform as a source. The easiest way to deal with the problem is to make it so a building would snap-to the center of a powered platform, basically like an induction charger. You could do this with any building that draws power, including lighting fixtures. Or, if this seems too restrictive, make it possible for buildings to check what kind of surfaces they've been built on, when they're built. If they detect a powered platform, they will default to checking the associated origin point (Like checking to see if a power line has power, same code and same idea) for electricity input. This is my rough-sketch idea, but I think it has merit.

[@tehmascot]

One thing I thought of, because of the mark 2 buildings. Is having recipes with a secondary output, which is more like recycled junk from the actual recipe. For example using water and ore, to get more ore, would also craft a small amount of concrete on the side. So the upgrade would be another output, where more things sometimes come out, but it still works the same as (for example) a constructor. It still builds iron poles, but look at that! Some material wasn't long enough for another pole. So you cut it into screws instead!

[@patheddles4004]

That'd be a pain to actually use though - whole bunch of extra effort to make sure the secondary output didn't get backed up and stop the machine.

[@alterranlongbow5067]

Though I'm not sure how to implement it, I would love to see the powered wall. Some builds feel really cluttered by power cables and it would be nice to have an alternative. I would also love to see the converter make some sort of appearance, maybe being based on the speed of belts connected to it and having different power cost based on the ore you make, similar to the particle accelerator. One of the big limiting factors for how big you can build in Satisfactory is the rarer ores, simply having less you can use than iron or limestone. It also would create some rather interesting math problems; "If uranium is the limit on how many nuclear plants you can run, how much iron would you need to convert until something else runs out? What runs out once that becomes sufficient?" and i think that would be fun to solve.

This entire game is nothing more than satisfying the space elevator, but I guess the fans wanted nuclear.🤔

PORTABLE STORAGE/AIRDROP- if you have a drone on a storage unit, you can build a portable storage unit that you can select a specific drone port to drop off whatever its holding but only once like a single use airdrop.

[@ShadowsNight1000]

I feel like adding any powered "Wall Outlet" could power the wall, the same way as a powered train station powers a connected railroad/station. As for making a powered wall, I'd have it so you could upgrade walls to a powered wall the same way you could upgrade your conveyor belts to the Christmas event belts at the cost of 1 cable or wire. Maybe, Even, Possibly, Maybe, Foundations could upgrade the same way? Might be a bit too easy if the walls/foundations could directly power each other, but you could put a "Wall Outlet" on a foundation?

[@RaphaelCatossi]

powered wall is a good concept for people who build walls and roofs around their factories, but some people see the machines as factories themselves, with ladder and scaffolds, so it's really a gray area. one way or another, placing poles and connecting hundreds of machines side by side looks like the favelas of my home country, it needs 3x extra work to hide them and make the factory look "clean" and organized. A good idea is what the Daisy Chain mod already does.

[@dBudZ]

17:00 - Power Pole MK4: uses the same wireless method of transferring energy (tesla style) as the hover pack. We could get rid of all the cables - and the logic is already ingame.

[@SirTastier]

To be honest I think powered walls should work in a way where you use wall connectors to power the walls and output from the walls. Would make it for a nice cleanup of wires around the factory. However, I believe there should be a way to route the "wires" inside the powered walls so you can have multiple power grids on the same factory walls.

[@samfarrell88]

For different power grids it could be colour coded, so green ones work with green and not with red etc, etc

[@andiders]

Speaking of the powered wall. I think the way it should work is that any power connector connected to a powered wall should work like a power connector. So making the walls a passthrough basically. So if you connect one power input on one powered wall, you can pull the power out of any other powered wall that has a direct connection to the input-wall. So yeah, power passthrough.

[@Draugo]

Powered walls do sound really cool. Here's my suggestion: * Powered walls and foundations are variants of current ones and take additional copper to build * Some kind of subtle addition to the texture that shows it's a powered wall, like a copper metal outline * Neighboring powered walls and foundations form a grid * Wall connectors can move power in and out of the grid Basically just replace wire connections between wall connectors with the wall and foundations themselves, i.e. in wall wire.

[@crash_hunter8659]

A nice alternative to cables would be a sort of tesla-tower, that distributes power in a sphere around it. Show the range in the blueprint and highlite the machines it’s reaching. And it would be so great, when we could get a half Fundation to connect halfpipes lower and upper part.

Maybe it can also find use to separate alloying materials (iron and copper alloy) that will be added in the future. ** I would like to see both poweredwall and poweredfloor.

[@ChakatNightspark]

I wouldnt Mind having like MK 2 of certain things. Perhaps doesnt change anything but maybe the size its more compact smaller. So instead of having a Huge one, the Mk2 would be like it became Efficient enough to make it Smaller and compact. So it takes up Less Room. Also Perhaps the Converter could still be used. Perhaps it would be something you need to Mix the Metal between the Sam ingots with another Metal to craft

[@joshpatton757]

Personally, I'd like to see the Mk2s be notably faster (base rate 200%, plus overclocking option), and also be a bit smaller - both shorter height and not as long. In exchange, they should be significantly more expensive to construct and notably more power hungry per item produced.

[@combycat]

NO WAY

[@MarkDotExe]

The powered wall would be cool, but I think a powered floor foundation would make more sense. Maybe have a "console" conduit item for the power input, and then it puts out power to all foundations within a 2-3 foundation radius, as long as the foundations are physically touching. This foundation power should be more expensive and less efficient than existing conduits hence pushing it towards later game players. Overclocking increases the radius and power draw cost. Would be a pretty cool idea. Thanks again for the game!

[@badweathergaming4929]

For the powered walls I think you could use the wall plug as a power input on them and maybe a line saying that in the description so its clear and it spreads freely to any powered walls touching a charged powered wall directly. In use I think they should be able to have a long reach to cover a large factory floor, but they need to make most a box of some type (not any shape, but a rough building outline, like looking at schematics of the powered area's footprint). Maybe balance the range by having a scaling rule for how many must be in the wall and/or connected to the foundations on each side to complete the circuit and power the floor. Could be complex, but I feel that should be a late or mid-late game unlock and by that point we are already doing complex stuff with manifolds and pipe/fluid management. To me the payoff would be worth the time investment to figure it out since it would really clean up the look of a factory and it would feel that more rewarding to get working right.

[@omni057]

[@brendanwood1540]

Powered walls would be cool. There could be a circuit overlay on the same wall textures. Just add power inlet and outlet ports on the walls so the wall becomes a conductor. Then there is just a line, like the green lines drawn between the inlet and the outlets. The line goes away when not in power line, or inlet outlet, placement mode. Could require quick wire and walls can be upgraded without really changing in appearance. So we can select what walls become powered. Then we need to be able to add different circuits within the wall by an option on the inlets and outlets through the customization menu. So there can be light inlets and outlets as well as machines, or even blocks of machines.

On the topic of MK II Buildings, interpret the existing buildings as follows: Assembler is a MK II Constructor, Manufacturer is a MK III Constructor, Foundry is a MK II Smelter, Blender is a MK II Refinery. The Particle Accelerator, Packager, and The Fluid Extractors (Oil, Water) have no advanced variants.

[@andrewtesla3735]

Powered foundations should work exactly like regular foundations except they transfer power through touch alone. There would be no cable connections, so they have to be attached to one another by using more foundations and powered by placing a power building directly on it. Maybe another thing that could be done to balance it a little more is that it might only be able to hold 80-90% of the maximum power output.

For powered walls maybe have it be like a powered pillar that you attach foundations to and it provides power to all items on said foundations within a grid range removing the need for wires everywhere

[@Krendar]

I think it makes sense. The alternative to Constructor Mk2 is to build as second Constructor. The alternative to Miner Mk2 is...nothing. Because the resource nodes are limited.

[@danfr]

Yeah, they either need to make Mk.2 buildings or put out another massive QoL update. Because currently, even using researched recipes, you need to repeat massive numbers of buildings with the same configuration and input/output setup. If Mk.2 buildings are never going to exist then that's basically an admission that unlike miners where you overclock + build higher Mk.# buildings to expand, construction buildings you overclock + repeat the same building over and over. But the game in its current form punishes you for trying to build large numbers of the same building with repeated settings, belt lines, etc... by making them tedious to do. Even after they made foundations less tedious.

[@wta1518]

Yes, but you have a limited number of resource wells.

[@gustavrsh]

@@danfr agree, that's why MK2 machines need to happen. Factories don't need to be as big as they are nowadays. Overclock does not solve the issue

[@AmericanSuperman813]

I got to the powered wall and had to say something. Just saw the other day that the pioneer had some sturdy steel toed rubber boots. A powered floor that powered all the machines on the floor/foundation/roof would be amazing. Can connect them on the outside via the systems in game as is update 7

[@Destroyer243]

I feel like the powered walls should act like intended, but the floors either needed to be connected by a special connector, or you would need special powered floors. Also for balancing, maybe the wall has a specific range of floor tiles, or maybe there could be something like a repeater tile that resends the power to more tiles around it, and once again for balancing it could have a trait where it its self doesn't transmit power to the buildings above, or you could even add a battery tile. I wonder what that does? Eh, I'll let you figure it out.

[@Visricsi1]

Thanks future Jace. Helped a lot.

[@leakingamps2050]

I would like to see some kind of powered floor/wall, not for buildings, but for the hover pack! It could be powered with a building variant like train networks (normal powered wall/floor with some kind of fuse-box-like structure on one side?), and maybe also act like train networks in allowing you to connect multiple grid connections and transfer power between them. It wouldn't necessarily be practical to use to power buildings (though you could zoop up a line of connection enabled powered floor next to a wall for some cool looking connections), but it would be nice QoL for say, large factory floors where finding and plugging holes/dips in the electrical grid powering the hover pack, which can currently be a pain.

[@GalanIberico]

I found interesting the part of adding sth that could destroy the machines (or broke them in order to make them useless if you not repair them or sth) and you should use some defensive constructions to maintain safe the factories

[@rogueiq1]

talking about the "powered wall" what I picture in my head is the "internal electrical/pipes" from the Ark mod Structures +. There were a few jenky issues with that, but they had to work within the confines of the base game programming, BEING a mod... but as the creators of this game you'd be able to implement it much cleaner and more successfully. If you already have the concept mapped out to the point of ending up in a build, I definitely vote "yes" to less wires in my factory. Just make sure passing power from generators to floors/walls, and from wires to walls / back to wires is easy and intuitive (again, see Ark for examples to avoid; base game is nightmare inducing)

[@mbob4337]

Yeah a power wall would convert the foundations/walls into a new model that shows cabling/outlets.

[@miguelsilveira6623]

My only wish for now is a dedicated key for each action (keybinds), using the hoverpack with C (crouch) is a pain... I have my shift and ctrl keys binded for sprint and guides and it messes me up... plus using my stream deck keys for custom hotbars toggles would be awsome!

[@paulelderson934]

Double tap spacebar for hoverpack would be way more intuitive. One tap for jump, second tap for float.

[@Birdofgreen]

Still looking forward to robots that harvest local plants for you!

[@Derekloffin]

Powered walls. Yes this would be a nice feature. The best way I could see it working is that to have both powered walls and floors, and any machine in contact with said wall/floor automatically gets power. Honestly, if you went this route, I'd just make all foundations and walls powered by default as there is little point in unpowered ones any more. Power poles would be restricted for long transmissions and early game. So basically all your walls and floors act as power poles that automatically connect to adjacent floors and walls. A more limited implementation would give much the same effect aesthetically by just making allowing the connection wires to be hidden easily within the foundations/walls. So instead of the wall itself having this property, it would probably be a connector which you can then use an alternate 'wire' for that connects only to other connectors of the same type, but is hidden within the wall. I'm not the hugest fan of this implementation, but it is an alternate idea. A tricky bit with power implementation is what do you do with non-snap touches? Does that still carry power and if so how do you detect such?

[@R3_dacted0]

Powered walls would be awesome. Essentially, it would replace the functionality of the double-sided wall power connector. You'd plug in one side with the regular wall power connector and the entire wall is given power. Then you can put another connector anywhere on the other side of the wall (same segment or many adjacent segments down) and the power can then be distributed to where ever. The wall should be designed with a tell to show a clear difference between the power being on or off. It should also look different from normal walls. Finally, the UI when should clearly show the presence of power in the wall while attempting to place power-related buildings.

[@joandersonoliveira6802]

i'd love those eletric wall/power wall (i really dont remember the name lol), because something that i find extremely annoying when building factorys is to power all machines. I like things perfect simetric and organized so everything must be in the same distance in all factorys and that take a lot of time. u could even make eletric walls gives some cool efect/animation to make things more beautifull and futurist in the factorys :)

[@Toeken42]

We love your game, Devs and community are just amazing, everyone at Coffee Stain, we thank you for this lovely piece of gaming. My hours are reaching 400, with 190 hours being occupied by my first save. Ty all of you, I am so happy to play this amazing game.

[@kevinfryman7143]

It's videos and content like this that separates Coffee Stain from other game developers. Our community is outstanding. Thank You!

[@Naviss]

Cool stuff! Very interesting to see how much has changed over the years too. Really bummed about not having MK.2 building. I understand why, Like explained - having all the work done for essentially the same building. But I do wish there was another way to increase production and speed on the Smelter & Constructor. Over clocking only goes so far, and for mega bases it just takes up so much room. Maybe Coffee Stain could come up with another idea for these two common buildings, and have like a late game addon structure for them that would increase their production rates without having to just make a brand new, bigger model.

[@NikolisKitchen]

Or maybe in lieu of having the MK.2 buildings, they can add functionality to existing structures like the manufacturer that you can use it to create the same things, but faster. Like imagine if you could also use it to do constructor recipes but because it's a bigger more advanced building it does them way faster. Like you could do a base of like 360 screws a minute from iron rods, for example. Don't nerf the resource cost, like it'd still require way more power than a few constructors, but god think of the space savings.

[@samuraislayer9864]

For the concept of mk2 constructors and such, the way you circumvented that is through the alternate recipies, but i think the ability to use a higher tier crafter to make more efficient (power wise) production would be nice (such as an assembler with 2 iron ingot inputs can produce the same amount per minute as 2 separate constructors, but just at a lower power cost). I think that method would remove a bit of the randomness of alt recipies, and allow for players to decide if they want a more space/power efficient setup or a larger setup with lower tier hardware.

[@mkaleborn]

You guys rock. Great vid, great humour. Thanks Snutt! Helps a lot. P.S. seeing you two together. It’s literally like seeing Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in the same scene in Heat. Pure chills.

[@anotherdave1039]

for powered walls, maybe have it also cost a cable or similar and conduct power between any attached wall outlets and adjacent powered walls so you don't have visible wires between the wall outlets, or even connect to powered foundations that connect to machines on them.

[@pearlcanopus8441]

Thx Jace/Snutt helps a lot. Thumbs up. Out there are a lot of pioneers who would like to reduce the need of power lines. I'm sure. Nor am I. I like it to cable up the buildings usually with ceiling connectors a lot. My inner (Adrian) Monk cries, if I see wall/ceiling clipping power cables or wildlined conveyor belts in content creators videos. ;)

[@Jackson-ub1uv]

I love the test chamber sign in the background

[@axiagame]

Power wall (or power foundation, if I understood well) seems like a good idea to remove cable madness inside factory buildings. I'd personally love to have this in the game

[@johnrtrucker]

I think a good concept for mk2 production buildings would be a double input of a constructor/smelter or even combine the two as this would help with the item limitation of the game near late game and only for single input buildings so the assemblers and manufacturers would stay the same because turbo motors dont require as many manufacturers producing lower tier items but low tire building are needed en masse if that makes any sense lol

[@peterrudenko4496]

You could add MK.2 versions of basic buildings like: foundry, assembler, constructor, etc. They could use same amount of power but instead of one recipe they could make two different recipies at the same time with a little bit change of used space.

[@michaelbrooks895]

just discovered this game, you guys are my hero. the game is incredible.

[@forrestgardner4421]

I like the idea of powered walls and foundations. I think they should be a later unlock and have cable added to the cost so it would make more sense and buildings could get power directly from foundations

[@RobertSandell]

The first mod I always install is "Daisy Chain Power Cables" so that machines can connect to power via eachother :)

[@stevengriffin1758]

Powered walls/foundations should be simple and intuitive to use. The KISS idea is this: If a wall with a power outlet is tied to a power generation source then any other "connected " wall/foundation with a power outlet connected to a consuming device/machine will be able to leverage that connection without having to explicitly run a cable. In this context "connected" means there are one or more wall/foundations that build a path between the outlet connected to the power source and the outlet connecting the consuming machine/device

[@cringe__6040]

the power slugs always remind me of Oxygen not included's power slugs
