I was wondering why you used 3 pipes rather than just merging 2 before sending it to the powerplants, and joining the 3rd between 5 and 6. I think I like the look of the 3 pipes more. Takes up more room, but looks more industrial and personally a little more tidy. Have been loving the tutorials. This has very quickly become one of my favourite games to just chill in.
I had the same question!
Also, why not feed the middle pipe into the middle (between plant 3 and 4?)
I plan on following all three videos to get me started. Great ideas and clean lines, plus the details of the underclocking is the best. I did download #3 to get a boots on the ground feel of everything. I am not going to use it to play in, but thought it would be interesting to do a walkaround. But I kind of got freaked out with the save game when I was walking around the side where the Hub is and found someone sitting in the lotus position with a cup in the middle of the walkway. Ha Ha unreasonable fear is the worst don't you think?
Haha, I'm sorry... That's me 😅 just enjoying some coffee after a hard day's work 🙂 so glad you found these useful!
Waited for this for weeks now
I wonder about bug with water you mentioned…
I have built 120 Coal generators powerplant last week. Generators above water extractors, there was need of one pump MK1 on the way. But as I was starting it and checking for mistakes, I realized some didn't need pumps to be powered and still pishing all water into generators above extractors.
I just hooked up everything as it should be but, yeah… pipes are buggy.
Unfortunate that its the last of a perfect start but I love it! It would be wicked awesome if you did a series like this but for completing all phases on the Space Elevator at max efficiency
We've covered them previously but it starts to get very complicated very fast
@@TotalXclipse I've got the main line setup for assembly director system and its huge alone as it is so I believe it lol
@@TotalXclipse so i can go back and watch the old guides and they will still work like these do?
@@kegen121 I'm following them as I go right now! so far they all seem to work perfectly
Hello TotalXclipse! Have you noticed yet, that you could put splitters and mergers just right on a lifts head! Its pretty useful, when you build a line with only one side usage.
Great content keep up the good work.
But at the last part of the steel did you bring 3 belts of coal and one belt of Iron and split the iron. you kind of jumped ahead a bit and I think I missed it.
hi, thanks for tips ;) u'd saved my sprit stability :p
After this perfect start series i started over. In stead of making it on one lvl i stacked the lvls. But it was awsome to see a factory running so synced. 😁
I just noticed in my own factory the other day that you can now stack splitters and mergers two high and still connect them with lifts -- rather than having to leave a gap in between them and the top one floating. Give it a try!
I've been wondering, why stockpile the other earlier resources and sink them rather than use them for the more complicated items (i.e. Screws and plates for reinforced plates)? Why build whole new buses for iron and copper when you can simply diverge using smart splitters (once unlocked) to feed the excess to the assembler area? Then once those are full you can sink those more complicated items for bigger gains in the sink.
You must certainly can do that, but the factory wouldn't run efficiently if the player keeps removing resources for their own building 🙂 so you'd have to add further overflow sections on the more advanced lines as well
Hi, I have been watching your videos for a year now. Love the content and time you take to make these videos. Also the discord link you have mentioned in the description is expired, can u please correct it so i can join your discord server. Cheers!
Should be fixed now ☺️
Brooo I love this serie, I've done the part 1 and 2 in my new save game and that's was really good! so let's go make this part 3 :>> I love your contents
You re amazing my friend. I love your brain 🤠
what is the caterium and copper input how many a minute?
Wait. this whole time playing this game.. I didn't know you can drag up to put your support higher...
Waiting for this download to become available on your website. Just started a new game, at tier 7 and got tired of deconstructing everything and moving factories due to poor planning for scaling. Being able to skip the 1st and 2nd tier will be nice.
Do you know if you can download the save yet from the website?
Many regards
@@johnyo2153 yes
@@xShredsx how do you do it because I’ve tried and it will download but won’t open?
Just really want to see this in person and explore the world
Do you have to be one of his patrons to access the proper files?
That’s my problem with the game. Playing a standard game you end up having to redo everything because half the building design options are locked until late mid game. Not sure why the devs think that’s a good design choice. At least just have cosmetic items locked not wall conveyor belts, lights foundations etc
@@MrSladej they do this for a gameplay progression. It would simply be a creative game if everything were unlocked at the start and new players would be completely and utterly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things to do and build if it were done that way. Plus this teaches you how early game setups are never meant to be permanent and are only meant to get you the materials then you can build things that will be permanent.
What's the reason to use 3 pipes for water? I'm aware you need multiple pumps but I was under the impression that 1 pipe even mk1 can transport enough liquid for 8 generators
My goodness, it's beautiful! So very aesthetically pleasing 😍 My brain is fried trying to follow, lol, and makes me wanna tear up my starter base (again!) and mimic this. Like a few others here, would love to see a follow up series leading up to end-game.
This helped me with what I've seen as my least favorite part of the game so far. I started a few new worlds trying to get a feel for things before I actually built a space elevator. Watching this made me go to the rocky desert, and everything kinda clicked here. I still felt like I was fighting to keep power on while exploring and getting the hang of things. But now that I've gotten to the point of having tractors and coal, my imagination is pretty much the limit. I feel like I can kinda take off now, and I'm excited to see what problems I can throw all this logistical power at! I enjoyed watching this little series as a way of helping me map in my head what the outline of setting up a clean factory in Satisfactory looks like. Now that I have transport and coal,! The map is big in all the right places, with enough granular pockets to keep it interesting and fun to build in. I think that the early game feels at odds with the rest of the game's approach to the genre, but I'll find a way to mod it to my liking on the second time around lol
would love to see a video of you going through peoples bases that have used this starter guide and gone off to build there own mega bases, would be cool to see the difference in peoples architect designs and building logics, would make for a great 4th and final instalment i think
Do you have a playlist of just these starter vids?
There's only three videos in the series, but I think we'll redo this for 1.0
What kind of coal nods does he use in the steel production? Perfect?
Feels so cheap doing this but I can't even deal with beginning game lol.
Hold on, if the caterium smelters are set to produce 10 each, then they go into a merger for 20 which then just goes into a splitter to make them 10 into each constructor.... what's the point of the second merger? Wouldn't it be easier and use fewer resources to just send the smelters directly into the constructors? I guess it just lines up better with the merger/splitter addition, but that's still kinda weird.
Thank you for this amazing works !! I started a new game after 6 months because of you xD.
I have already recreated these 3 parts (with adding small quartz factory above caterium factory for windows :p)
Will you make another one with remaining of steel works? (no pressure :p)
I'm not planning on doing another video for this series. I have covered the steel efficiency builds in another video for things like encased industrial beams 😊
@@TotalXclipse okay, thanks for the reply. I'll look at that :) I'll search it ^^
Here to comment that TH-cam recommended PT 2 after finding PT1 from youtube search. But failed to put PT3 in the recommended whatsoever.
I like building the coal plants such that the back edge is running colinear to the shoreline. I basically use the foundations to form a quay along the shoreline so the the three pumps can be positioned directly behind the generators which keeps every thing compact and very clean.
Bro thank you so much for this. I followed your instructions and everything works flawlessly. I know the starter factory is complete but would you ever consider doing an end game factory build for newbs just to follow up on this series? Regardless, thanks a bunch either way!
no one really does tutorials apparently
You mentioned being able to Down Load your Save, exactly how do I do that? I am a novice to Satisfactory and would like to explore how you built everything.
This save isn't available yet because I can't upload the save to the site just yet. But the two other saves (,in video one and two of this) are on satisfactorytips.com
@@TotalXclipse Thank you, I am enjoying your channel.
Bro the problem is i can't fly🤣🤣
But thanks for the stuff man
What's the point of merging and splitting directly after? Wouldn't it be the same to just run the 2 conveyor to the 2 different constructors?
@Spokloo, if I'm understanding it correctly, it's all a matter of timing. Splitters alone will get the job done, but it takes a lot longer to max out your machines. using a merger in the middle balances the load (hence the name load balancing) and gives each machine it's exact requirements immediately. A perfect example is the split in the iron rod machines in part 2 which supply the rods for the rotors. Also, those rods are split backwards, the assembler doesn't need 25 rods, the screws do, so put the loop on the screw side for maximum efficiency. Sorry @TotalXclipse, for the failure to call this to your attention first, I just found it by accident after building this for the 3rd time, lol. I couldn't figure out why my rotors weren't showing up in the storage, so I checked each and every machine for mistakes, found out I had set the rod machines to build screws by accident! When I reset them, I realized that the 25 rods were going to the assembler, not the screw constructors. Ugh, maximum embarrassment!
@@JustanotherPlaya I understand what your saying, but for example at 4:49, couldn't the 2 constructors on the left be connected directly to the 2 smelters on the left? I don't see a reason why not, it doesn't balance anything going through a splitter then through a merger directly after. The way I see it, it's 2 inputs and 2 outputs so I don't understand why there is a need for the merger and the splitter in that particular case. What you were describing is more comparable to the right side right? There is 2 inputs and 3 outputs, and in that case yes I understand the need for a load balancer it makes perfect sense. Maybe it's only for esthetics?
I’m having a few problems with power plant. Coal generators at the end of the manifold are not receiving enough coal I’ve got the feed line as conveyor kk 2 but does that have to extend all the way back to the miner?
you need to have two miners and a mk2 belt all the way there, thats what i did and it works. Once you have that get power to the miners then have them top off the coal generators so they all have 100 coal in them
Have you ever thought about doing a bigger series on a bigger/later build. I know I often find myself getting into tiers 6 and 7 and so and then feel like there's so much going on everything ends up turning into spaghetti.
The problem is it quickly becomes overwhelming to do a single item in a video unfortunately 🙁
Finally just got building the motor factor from two of your videos. I'm slowly waiting on you get to rubber lol that's my next Everest. I'm loving these videos. I have my son following these so he can learn how to do the factories with efficiency.
I'm just finishing my part 2 factory.. lol 😂
OCD triggered!!! The mergers at the storage are at different lengths towards the lifts for steel and the AI limiters & copper sheets. Thanks for the save and the video!
You can always change it yourself 🤪
You always do a great job, but had some issues with this video. Appears you put the sound in over the video and not as it was being made, therefore you are talking about stuff that hasn't happened yet in the video. Makes things a bit confusing to follow. *edit: seemed to only be the ai limiters and copper sheets section*
This looks cool, but I don't need that level of detail to build my own factory.
I just want to know, how much should I produce of each component?
I'll need a lot of the components for belts etc. but I don't need many AI-Limiters, for example.
What is a good ratio?
Hi, on the coal factory my last 2 coal generators keep running out of coal :(. im in a pure node, 8 gens, mk2 belts for the main splitter coal mine and mk1 for the lines going to each generator, any advice? my max power usage is about 520 thanks
I'm not 100% on this, but for speed you want mk2 belts to each generator. The concept is to get it there "faster" preventing it from running out of coal. I have his coal plant setup and it matches this (but it came from another video of his)
ive had this problem with long manifolds, i feel like there is a bit of lag time going through each splitter which adds up to a lower throughput. my solution was to just split it up or add more coal later into the manifold.
I don't understand how you got the water to the power plant in the first place.
'E' to switch between belt speeds blew my mind. I don't know if it was added after I last played (which was in 2020), or if I just always missed the existence of the option, but WOW.
This is a great series to teach a spaghetti man how to build efficient factories. However, in your steel starter build with 4 foundries and 4 constructors I do not quite see why you need the extra mergers in front of the steel pipe constructors. The constructors would receive 30/m from the splitter also on one direct belt, so couldn't you just leave them out?
Lol The Splitting for the Steel confused me at first because in between the Part 2 and Part 3 video I had found the Solid Steel Ingot Alternate Recipe, So I was sitting there like "Wait... Why am I splitting this? They all make 60... Hmm..."
damn i've been thinking about how to split my 4 foundries well for 1h... never thought of this!
hello my Buddy ,
thanks for these videos, it help me alot starting this game.
i got a question , what about storaging gold wire ? we just connected to the assambler for the AI limitier right ?
Great series - thank you very much.
Please turn off the game's background music
I love the pretty factories, but am deeply disgusted by your clipping of generators!
I have followed this series three times now and still hope you would revisit this "play along" style series further into the game progression.
can some please tell me how to download the save i have been trying for hours and cant figure it out (i am pretty new to computers)
@ 24:17 to 24:24 for steel production is that four nodes of Iron and 4 nodes of Coal or a coal balancer and Iron manifold?
I balanced the iron and coal it's a total of 180 iron and coal. So three normal nodes of each.
so great vidoes! i use this so much to get startet and build up, wish you would do more for this build for some of the harder recipes. :D im not the great builder my self, but i like to do stuff like this just in my own way
are you using normal nodes for your ores or are they pure nodes?
hey ive build it the factory similar to what you showed, I even have less machines than what you have, and still the 8 coal generator is not handling the whole farm. It keeps shutting down, by running out of coal. I do have pure node. so im not sure what is wrong :(
Got Same Problem, im using 12 Coal generator now and got same build live Video and it took like 825mw , also my Problem is also coal is to slow :/ i got it Almost working with 3 pure lines , the first 4 generator are Stuck with coal while the backside run out...
Hi TotalXclipse. Just watched Part 1, 2 and 3 and would like to suggest a Part 4. I ask because it is a "starters series" and I am a starter. Yet you would change machinery to 60% efficiency or 90% or any random number without explaining why. Is that something I should always do? What if I am using all Tier 3 conveyors? You had all the splitters and mergers and everything pretty much attached to each other, I like leaving a whole floor tile between them. Does that effect the percentages? Then in Part 3 you used the water pipes. You mentioned people say you shouldn't do it this way. Then proceeded to do it that way with no explanation. I apologize if you are taking this the wrong way. I merely am mentioning this as a "starters" series. A person with 1000 hours in game may not need the explanations, but a starting player would. Part 4... "The Why" part. Why the percentages? Why is everything cramped together? Why are the Pipes set in that way? For that matter do you still have the other power burners going on top of the Coal Power Plants, spare power source? These and many more questions could be answered in... Part 4. Or Not 🙂 - Great Videos I will watch your whole playlist regardless.
Sorry I'm late to the party but let me see if I can give you some answers if you or anyone else are still wondering.
1. The purpose of underclocking with those percentages is when a production line does not need the full potential of a machine, whether it is being limited by the input amount or the next step does not need the max. while you technically do not have to underclock it does reduce the power consumption of the machine and keeps its power draw steady instead of turning on and off because it is producing faster than the throughputs can handle. It basically makes it so your lines produce the *exact* quantities of components with steady/minimum power consumption (Spiking can cause your grid to shut down if you push the limit).
2. Belt speed only matters with throughput. As long as the items per minute is equal to or less than the belt speed you are good, a faster than necessary belt only makes the first item arrive sooner and does not improve production speed.
3. I also tend to space my stuff out more because I like the look of it and find it easier to organize and move around in. Building compact like this boils down to saving space and build style. How much belt you use doesn't effect percentages or the end result as long as none of the belts are oversaturated with items.
4. The pipes thing is just kinda weird, each pipe can transport 300 m3 of water and each pump extracts 120 m3, and each generator needs 45 m3. I like to max out my pipes so ill have 2 main pipes each with 2 extractors (making it 240m3) then splitting a 5th extractor between the two pipes to hit a full 300m3, to do this you have to use valves to make sure the 5th sends water 2 ways and doesn't get backfilled.
5. As for the power you dont always have enough being produced with just coal to do a complete flip in an instant and have to wean yourself off biomass while you expand your powerplant
TIP. also recommend setting up one biogen near your pumps with some fuel stored next to it so in the event your power goes out you can use it to just power the pumps to reprime your coal generators to take over again.
Is the ability to roam around in “camera mode” a mod? (super green beard here)
I'm using the mod Pak utility
Love the content man! Just started on this one. Man that coal is super far away! Takes a good minute doing it legit!
Halfway through this series I started streamlining the process, and certainly when I ended up getting the alt recipe for screws. I noticed that you forgot a line to storage for the quickwire. I added that myself and adjusted the rate going to the assembler. As for the last bit with the steel items, I think I'm going to set up a truck depot and have it shipped from another area.
anyone else do a series like this but goes all the way can anyone link me another youtuber?
All the way? Do you know how large a factory that will be? 😅 I think the closest / most exhaustive layouts you will get is following my layout guides, there are videos for each one and written guide to them on satisfactorytips.com - I'll also be uploading more as I create more layout guides
Clipping doesn't work in the base game right? This is all mods that you're using for clipping and other things like flying right?
Clipping is vanilla part of update 5. The flying and creative mode I use for the guides as it saves me countless hours per video. If you want to know which mod it's Pak utility. But recommend playing vanilla, at least for the first time through
Haha my brain freezes when It comes to building bigger:)
great video but towards the end you seemed to be just placing thigs without explaining why. Perhaps you've covered all this in previous videos, but as a noob who was fascinated with the splitters, mergers etc i didn't get much info on why they were arranged as such.
You're right I've covered a lot of it in the two pre episodes of this mini series so I cut out a lot of the excess, but I'm glad you enjoyed it on the whole
Please make a part 4 please please please!!!!!
To continue the series maybe you could set up guides for a starter nuclear setup or something
I do really appreciate the effort on your videos but that water piping is just looks.. odd. You could achieve the exact same with 1 less pipe. I know that this "only" saves you 1 water pump but it would be easier to build and looking quite a bit nicer too as it saves that middle knobble kind of thing.
Other than that nice video as usual.
That's fair. Just a different way of doing it. I normally build the powerplants closer to the water so don't worry about the piping too much
4:44 why merge the two lines into one just to immediately split them back into two lines?
would love a part 4 to end game of this series. i know its alot of work
not sure why but your save games don't work for me. they don't show up in game
Have you moved them to your save folder?
@@TotalXclipse for sure I have. Don’t know if I’m missing something.
can i use this savefile for update 8 or is it not possible ?
Yep it should be fine to use it
Great series, but the problem I have is when I've gotten to this stage moving the resources to other factories to produce more complex things, I'd love to see a video or series that shows how to move these stockpiles efficiently, please, please, please let's see that.
Hmm I'll see if I can do something about it, but no promises
is 600MW is enough power for the entire "Perfect Starter" factory that you've built?
I don't remember having issues but if you need more add another coal generator set. The idea is to get you off to a good start. It's yours from there
i think the coal its not enought
bruh where is perfect start 4 god damnit
Perfect start 4? At this point the save would be beyond a start 😅 but perhaps we can do something for it.
bro...I looooooooove your lofi stuff!!
We're hoping to have some more out by the end of February ☺️
How do you have access to smart splitters before coal power?
Easy - as mentioned in the video, research Caterium it's not linked to hub tiers, so you can unlock it straight away in the mam
@@TotalXclipse thanks!
This series kicked my re interest off in this game again, i followed you pretty much step by step through all 3 series and put a small spin of my own on the design slightly, in the end though i was really happy that this guide exists as i enjoyed playing it through and learnt quite a lot into the design, i am hooked on your videos mate, keep up the good work
same! i used his formulas but did all in the northern forest instead (and a lot messier hahahah)
nive vid bro, like always, luv them, thx
Where do u find some many resource nodes to run each line for every item individualy?
Use the scanner - I know the map very well. So just know where to go most of the time
Is the save up? It looks like it's the one from the second video still.
Nope it isn't as mentioned in the description, it won't be up until next week due to some issues
Thank you for the steel pipe / beams splitter merger tip :)
i just turn down the water Extractor to 101, from 120 to power 2 coal Generator, and have 1 or 2 coal Generator powering the pumps and miners so i dont have to worry about it have getting turn off when it would happen, these will keep going even if my factory stop working, you did give us that tip once in your video a while ago.
And the bops to set the vibe 😩👌
yes
no time stamps? can anybody make it?
Great series, thanks so much for the tips
The tips you give are always great. If I try to follow them, it will take too much time. Thanks for all the good information.
finally
how do i add your save file to the game?
Move it to your save game folder
how do you fly like that ?
pak utility mod.

This video is using cheats... wtf
... if I didn't use creative mode I wouldn't be able to get weekly content out... What would you rather?
i followed along just fine without any mods. it would take him much much longer to make guides like these if he weren't using fly & infinite resources.
@@offthebooksmusic it would be a lot harder to see placement of machines too for the viewers.
Using fly cheat -not fair gameplay.
I'm using it for the ease of understanding the guide...
