12 Ways to build Rail in Satisfactory

[@Yakez42]

Here is the blueprint pack, what is your favorite elevated piece? drive.google.com/file/d/1PE8hMgCk0bEz6WFy0BZr9KbYsuCHgrK1/view?usp=sharing

[@satibel]

The flying one because I tend to build kilometer high highways to avoid the local fauna and it's an easy way to decorate it.

[@PaulPhillabaum]

My favorite was the double round, open concrete supports for the K truss. Very pretty.

[@RochelleHylton]

Friend, please post again. 1.0 is coming out and it won't be the same without you.

[@jonathanlanglois2742]

I came back to this video with 1.0. There really isn't all that much content out there about good railway blueprints. Although woefully outdated, this is still one of the better videos out there about rail building.

[@Yakez42]

tyty, cant wait to finally get my hands on proper curves with bigger blueprint designers)

[@deliciouslybrutal]

Your format of mixing real-world reference with gameplay builds is dope. I'd love to see you play Valheim

[@Yakez42]

Have some Valheim backburner projects, but they all more of replicas of castles from other games. My hopes on Cities Skylines 2 to make some nice IRL/hybrid videos xD

[@ugoboom]

@@Yakez42 thats awesome dude

[@theironangel767]

This got me doing an entire new 'last gasp' run before 1.0 - awesome BPs - especially big thanks for making them freely available!

[@chrismmm3847]

If you have an anti-grav technology that makes things levitate, why would you make dozens of kilometers of railway that floats rather than simply making trains float ? 😏 Nice video BTW thanks

[@Yakez42]

Well, it actually makes sense to make levitating track stretch over levitating train. Not so much when it is full system. Simple principle here is how much all your trains weight vs how much track weight. Trains are just multitude heavier than several hundred meters of levitating track. Assuming that you need energy to levitate...

[@ABaumstumpf]

@@Yakez42 "Trains are just multitude heavier than several hundred meters of levitating track." The tracks still need to lift the train and in all likelyhood they would be far heavier than the train.

[@darkehartplays]

@@Yakez42 Better explanation: a free flying machine that carries cargo between points is also in the game. They're called drones, and notice that you have to feed them batteries for their power needs. The "levitation buoys" run off the same power grid as the factories connected to the rail, just like the train itself, which also conveniently connects distant factory buildings onto the same power grid. The investment in infrastructure offers plentiful returns for your effort. ^.^

[@Keldrath]

man u went thru the blueprints so fast had to slow to 0.25 speed to follow along

[@Guapter]

15:53 - you dont need levitating rails when train can levitate itself. thats why in sci fi levitating rails is nonsence

This is such a good video. Not only is it inspiration to help make your world look great, but you're going into the history of different bridge structures, I adore this, thank you for this, and you better believe I'm going to be using some of these techniques!

[@Rambrus0]

Nice video. Im wondering you you would do curves in these respective styles

[@Fafnir989]

Great video man very very helpful much appreciated for making the blueprints free

[@VladimirSutinovski]

Your videos together with the real life examples you are showing are top notch my friend. Thank you for sharing. Btw your builds are out of this world, sometimes I wonder how people even come up with some designs. My factories were just one or two flat surfaces up and then encased with simple orange wall, later I found that you can change the material but that that does not even come close to your desings. Like comparing a baby's plastic toy with a space station.

[@Yakez42]

Hehe space stations is also something I make in Kerbal Space Program ;-)

[@_Puchok]

прикольный акцент.

[@Homarid1]

Very nice. I appreciate the part where you showed the process of how to make them. I wasn't even aware of those small beams you could angle however you want. I think the viaduct was my favorite for looks, but it takes up the most space.

[@Yakez42]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Asyrial]

I love the K Truss design, and honestly I love all the designs, but is there any way you would recommend making turns for any of these? Railway curves in satisfactory are my absolute downfall.

[@mathiusj74]

I love everything about this video - just one question - please do turns. My turns always look terrible.

[@MindOfVacuity-gv4vy]

Free blueprints => Free Subscribe. Thanks for sharing these awesome designs!

[@sysghost]

Keep in mind though... there's a limit on the number of individual objects in the world. With designs like this and the power of blueprint building, one can hit this limit fairly easily.

[@J.Glasbergen]

Absolutely fantastic, thanks for sharing!

[@Yakez42]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@Sean409409]

First video I've seen with the downward slope trick. Well done.

[@nebulaeclipse8901]

Love these designs and railways but I struggle so much with the curves and turns in tracks

[@cybersteel8]

I really like the Viaduct look! It would suit my factory perfectly, though I noticed you didn't go through how to do a curve. I have some 90 degree turns and I am unsure how Viaducts work with curves. The single rail technique is what I'm using now, just putting some concrete pillars underneath, but I'd be curious to see more complicated curve designs!

[@Yakez42]

Yeah, viaduct curves are in the ballpark of "problem for future me". I just tend to swap to pillar designs on the turns and make instant 30-90 degree turns over making monumental long curves. Also I kind of do not see the way to make an actual curve inside blueprint designer, since I need like 11 tiles of space for proper curve without using mods. This is why I just avoid them for now

[@TheBassKitty]

One of the best Satisfactory how-to videos I've seen 💚

[@BravoManUK]

Thank you for this. These designs are really well done and bring a lot of realism to the world. Great job.

[@HealShadow]

Awesome video :) i will try this tips. What the ambient music you use on background? It's pretty relaxing

[@OsamaBinLooney]

last time i played satisfactory was update 6 where i made a giant railway to my quartz mine and after building it for like 10 hours it ending up looking so ugly after dumping so much time into it i ended up quitting till 1.0

[@marinaposting]

how do you curve on the viaduct?

[@archangel8172]

I made my blueprints in a way that i can snap them all to each other. Only thing i dont bother with is curves cause that is a lot of work (altough i could make some 10º turn blueprints i suppose). I just make a 90º turn and keep going. But my ramp can snap on both sides allowing me to make a ramp up or down with it. I honestly just want to wait till belts/rails/pipes/cables auto connect between blueprints.

[@Jila_Tana]

plop plep plop plep what a script dude ......... I was drinking coffee when you did that. Thanks.

[@jeffreyspinner5437]

I've found the most effective way of building railways in Satisfactory was waiting for drones, and never building them at all. Why bust chops like that I have no idea. Even in Factorio, it was just more complicated than worth the effort. I'm quite happy with my drones so far... closing in on the last Spacey Elevator stuff, and my nuclear plants have now issues, so sometimes the best way to do something is NOT to do something! I do have to admit it took me until grad school to truly understand the empty set. What an epiphany.

[@gregoriodia]

Hope your blueprints are worth like and subscribe - because that is what I am giving for them ;)

[@jadephoenix5837]

How do you do train stations? I can see them kind of in the background, and I'm curious how you make them look good alongside the supports? Great video!

[@Yakez42]

In update 8 I was just making similar supports for train stations. Probably would make something more interesting with bigger designers in 1.0 for train stations

[@typhonplume9374]

The sad part about these blueprints, is that it doesn't handle curves well. You will need to make the intersection, aka curve, first then attach them and hope they line up properly.

[@theral056]

I would build ancient style if i had a minion to build it all for me, but since i do all the work, sci-fi is the clear winner. Way simpler to work with

[@PronetoPlayYT]

Yoo, these builds are insanely beautiful and also a great inspiration! I built a factory that is floating on several platforms in the sky, but had no idea how to really round the build up in terms of cosmetic and "how it levitates". Your engine build for the levitating rail is freaking amazing - definitely will take that as inspiration!

[@Yakez42]

Also I think you can make something something like huge Heli-carrier engine pods by using painted beams and signs! Something like this is on my todo wish list in Satisfactory xD

[@Br4dl89]

If you could go into how to handle curves, it would be greatly appreciated I've been messing around with rail blueprints myself to handle a lot of this and you do have some really great designs here. But I just can't figure out how to do anything but a fully manually built curve.

[@Yakez42]

I do not really do long curves. Just use foundation pieces to get desired angle of next blueprint and just delete deck in between pillars.

[@GregoryGlynn]

Thank you Yakez. I learned how to nudge blueprints from this video. I downloaded the rail section blueprints too. Thank you for telling us how to incorporate the blueprints into our builds. Your designs are inspirational and very practical. I enjoyed watching this tutorial - your choice of clips, sounds and humor were delightful.

[@Yakez42]

[@NickLea]

Thank you so much for this. The detail you went in to was really helpful and interesting.

[@jonathanlanglois2742]

There's one thing that I need to take issue with and that's the fact that your spans are rather short. A single foundation in Satisfactory is 8 meters. Modern viaduct spans are about 50 meters on average. That means that there would be at least 6 foundations in between each pillar. As far as double decker bridges go, the pillars need to be a single solid unit from top to bottom. Interrupted pillars would fail in real life. Each viaduct span has its own isolation bearing.

[@Yakez42]

One of my ideas to have longer spans was just to offset column to very edge of blueprint and cut it in half. This way only by rotating a single blueprint you can have technically 60 meter spans! On other topic... well I am F&B manager, not really an engineer, really love all the extra small detail I can learn from pros above common info on the web xD

[@Maulus]

You sir! are genius! i will use these things in my build!

[@cameronstroebel3333]

[@ronratliff8320]

[@Szarps]

I love how your drives are named after countries (seemingly at random) and also Argentina (which is where im from) is also almost full lmao. On a more on topic comment, nice video, i'll be likely using the anti gravity stuff since i never thought about a way that could be made and instead just made big ass pillars, this would also save me awful lots of time on the aesthetics

[@Spleensgaming]

what about when rails need to curve?

[@evilfreakofdesboesen]

Great Job again 😊 You are a Master Designer! Love all of them ❤

[@Yakez42]

Thank you! 😊

[@sysghost]

Keep in mind though... there's a limit on the number of individual objects in the world. With designs like this and the power of blueprint building, one can hit this limit fairly easily.

[@Yakez42]

Belt spans with items on them have way bigger impact on object count. If there is any object optimization to be done first target is 1 mile long spans of belts. And then there is no issue with playing after hitting object count. And I do not know for sure yet about object count on the new engine.

[@ABaumstumpf]

Levitation looks great, but best just for a few small things that would actually benefit - like the vehicles them self, or when spanning some part where support-pillars don't work or would be a problem. For trains i personally think some more slender but solid pillars look best for a futuristic setting. Levitating infrastructure in general are a disaster waiting to happen, costing a fortune and offering no benefits. Why would you waste energy and resources to make stuff levitate? Large building already have very strict requirements on their foundations, making them airborn just means that you would now have to have a way thicker and more solid base (making it more costly), somehow anchor the building in place, and you then still can't really have water, gas, electricity or sewage connections.

[@Yakez42]

Modern supertall skyscrapers are already "disaster waiting to happen". They have active counterbalance systems in place, and those use power. In event of natural disaster they are not only exposed to power shortage, but also lose their active defense. And still it is a thing. And backups always exist. Also there are a lot of places nearly impossible to be covered with physical infrastructure at reasonable cost. Like straight of Gibraltar or Nordic Fiords. Having cheaper active system there would make more sense, than pouring like 20% of continent GDP into construction project. And we already construct things like huge drawbridges that is also purely active system to provide one axis of transportation. Why? Because they cheaper, than bigger bridge. They definitely not safer.

[@ABaumstumpf]

@@Yakez42 "They have active counterbalance systems in place" Most still use a simple passive tunes mass. But yes, that problem exists and would just be way worse if the buildings where afloat. "Like straight of Gibraltar or Nordic Fiords. " Yeah - as i said - the few regions where normal structures would be prohibitively expensive or impossible. "And we already construct things like huge drawbridges that is also purely active system " They aren't. Those are normal static structures that can be moved out of the way. The waterways are not powered nor is the bridged actively held in suspension when the other traffic is crossing it.
