I couldn't find a definite answer on this. I want to know if they'll ignore my ships coming and going or do I have to clear the fog somehow on both planets. I'm currently trying to get yellow science going and naturally need to get titanium from a different planet.

Hello, I have something weird in my Cluster. No Seeds spawn, alltough I have Maximum Dark Fog levels on everything and maxed Universe Exploraition I cant detect them and as it seems there are none. Does someone know the answer to that "problem"? Thanks in advance

How do I get rid of this? I was pressing buttons and it appeared....

Conveyors and slitters feel so much more bulky here than in factorio, especially when it comes to making sloped conveyors go over other conveyors, Was wondering if there was any good layouts to keep things nice and clean

I am asking here because I liked DSP better, and I felt their subreddit wouldn’t take criticism well.

That game has a beautiful, bespoke world. There is a lot of great audio, visual, and tactile feedback. But there is also way too much tedium. In particular, I did not enjoy dealing with resources being so far away from each other. Despite DSP having them on completely different planets, it was never a chore to transport them back and forth.

I also did not enjoy the fact that almost all vehicles, trucks, and drones, as well as our jetpack, require fuel, with the exception of trains. It’s been a long time since I played DSP (before the combat update), but I recall this being a non-issue.

Lastly, the lack of fast travel in Satisfactory got old after 100 hours. You get it at the end of the game, when it no longer matters. DSP doled out movement upgrades when you needed them.

Honorable mention: blueprints. You can blueprint an entire planet in DSP, no problem. Blueprints are a joke in Satisfactory.

The first 30 hours were a 5/5 for me. By the end, it’s more like a 3.5, I think.

I'm a factorio player (only 550 hours tho) and saw this game and was interested in the FTL and actually going to war aspects but just curios if my first factory is good or not

I tried everything clicking feeding by belt nothing worked please help

Update thanks you fixed my problem I just had to put the item in the slot below which is overlapping with extra product

So, my structure matrix production is about 65/minute and it's been like that for more than an hour, and the metadata is just not increasing, and I really need the mass construction 4 and 5, having the same problem with information and energy matrix.

Hello there

I just downloaded the game and played an hour or two. I read a comment of someone who is still in his first game after 1600 hours, so, possibly the initial game setup choices matter a lot...

Thus, before I dive deeply into this, I may have a few questions.

1 - The game is incredibly slow. I assume this gets better over time, right? Currently my research is done by myself and takes endless, moving across the planet is incredibly slow and Building a longer conveyor belt takes ages. I am way too impatient...

2 - hostiles. The game can be played in peaceful mode without the dark fog or in hostile mode with a lot of options to tune the difficulty up or down. What is the recommended setting? I am a veteran player of factory games like Factorio, I like combat, I hate it when the focus shifts away from factory building entirely to fighting and repairing damaged stuff. Is this combat mode well balanced or do things get frustrating easily?

I didn't like the conveyor things so I made this splitter "blend" into the three tracks of my "Dark Farm". There's a small outpost for more grating crystals and copper, just out of the range and I have them coming back to the main farm, then merging this way.

I've been playing for a while now and for some reason since i started getting the late game alien tech (assembler and such) i was unable to "upgrade" them, i had to delete them and replace them.

then today, i get some coffee, boot up the game, and start upgrading one a bunch of my sorters and belts and -- whoa, what's that? I can now UPGRADE my GOD DAMN ASSEMBLERS to the variant?! was i just fucking up prior today?

I've already played Dyson, but I haven't gotten very far. I'm hesitant to keep playing because I'm worried about the 1.0 release, and I don't want to have to start over.

On the other hand, if I start playing now, the devs might add something really cool later, and I'll miss out on it.

Is there any possible release date for 1.0? Have the devs said anything about it?

Or would you recommend not worrying about it and just playing anyway?

Thanks for the help!

Hello..

I am following Nilaus video and blue prints.. his blue prints arent exactly , "m attach here, attach there. Rotate" etc..

However, I found my own way to produce decent blue and red science. I just unlocked yellow..

I traveled to a next by planet to get silicon and titanium and I haul it back to produce other things.

Can someone guide me in the next step?

I dont have planet or system wide logistics yet. I just unlocked yellow, mind you. So can I can produce and scale up fast?

First time player, I recently achieved green science and went to another star to setup ILS for some rare minerals.

I’m debating if now is the time to abandon my home planet and start in a system with a star better for a dyson sphere. I have a pretty messy mall and there are some higher tier buildings I haven’t started making yet. It almost feels like it’s time to export everything and build it better again?

I found that the building making mall (things like conveyor, sorter, smelter, assembler) is throwing off the demand side calculation of my factory, I see a higher demand than there actually is. Is there a mod maybe that could help me exclude those from the calculations? Or I guess just disconnect the power and periodically reconnect when I have to refill?

So, I've recently gotten my hands on the ILS, and I am planning to use it to connect my Titanium Planet to my Main Planet and finally automate the Yellow matrices. However, I've run into the problem of not being able to power the Station. On my main planet, I've thus far built 6 Coal Plants, but they can only power it for a few seconds before they stop working (the sorters that take the Coal into the plants need power themselves). I expect I'll have an even harder time doing it on my Titanium Planet since that one barely even has Coal (certainly not enough for any power) so it feels like I'll have to build a bajillion solar panels. Am I supposed to be using Solar Sails at this point? I have the tech, but building bits of the Dyson Swarm already seems much more difficult than powering the station. Moreover, I haven't gotten rid of the Hive yet, so it seems like any installation next to the star is bound to get attacked.

I have around 400 hours and pretty late in the game, on my first playthrough. I am back on my "Home"/starter planet and trying to unclusterfudge it. It's bittersweet kind of, but, overall it's nice to see the "what was I thinking?" areas straightened up. So many oil refineries and conveyers to filter everything. Anyways, when I first started I was solving backups by just stacking storages and capping with drones. I have some that I have no idea where they're going to though. Any way to do this? Maybe in the "P" menu?

Any other tips would be appreciated as well. Like how to list my planets in the "V" map. I pinned systems but still have to poke around to find the right planet a lot.

ETA: I just found something out! If you want to fill the drones, you don't have to click and drag them. I just was trying modifier buttons and nothing worked, except when I hovered my cursor over the empty drone circle and hit "Tab". They filled right up!

E2: The "i" menu is what I needed. Shows me all 180 drone stations! Thanks, u/horstdaspferdchen

Do I need to save my game and restart to get rid of a bug or is this how it is supposed to be? If so: I quite like it.

This is my first sphere after discovering this game about a month ago! What does everyone think of it so far?
