to be fair, it only came out a few weeks ago right about when 1.O was released i've used a little bit, but this provided me a much better understanding.
One thing you didn't mention in the video was setting an output value from a node. This is very useful, as it limits how much goes to that and sends the rest to lower priority things.
@@EricT43 Right click on the output of a node and you get a window where you can set the part limit. Or, near the bottom of a node, you can set the number of machines if you want to do it that way rather than the number of products.
Only 3 min in and this is already everything I’ve been wanting. All the other calculators are such a pain. They expect you to have all the alternate recipes or the desire to use a million different inputs to min max some obscure thing. Thanks!!
I do like using satisfactory tools, since you can select exactly which recipes to use, and it's nice for getting quick calculations, without setting up the whole chain yourself. That said, this tool looks great as well.
Awesome this is going to solve my issue with the satisfactory calculator website. I was building turbo fuel factory, and I was not able to set the calculator to use diluted package fuel resipe , now I can. Thanks for the info on this app
i had a problem w/ Encased Beams recipe where it chose the wrong alternate recipe. I had to go back into the options and DE-select the recipe it was using & Select the one i wanted & it fixed it.
I've been using satisfactory calculator/ interactive map but when trying to figure out exactly how to use all uranium for nuclear power and converting to plutonium pellets this was insanely helpful building it out myself
@3:03 I think that it's more power efficient to have two constructors clocked at 56.5% (which is 1.13 divided by 2) instead of having one at 100% and one at 13%. For newer players I'll say that it's even more power efficient for more constructors clocked lower (for example 3 at 37.667%, etc.) at the cost of more space for the machines. The power efficiency gains per space used typically diminishes when machines start getting clocked lower than around 35% though. Basically, the number shown for machines is the clock rate required of that machine, but machines can only be clocked up to 250%, and it's more power efficient to stay at or below 100% clock. So, if the picture at the machine says 7.5 you would need one machine clocked at 750% (can't be done), or 8 machines clocked at 93.75% (7.5 divided by the number of machines you're willing to build, in this case I used 8). You could also get away with only using 3 machines, because your requirement is 7.5, but you can clock machines to 2.5, so 7.5 divided by 2.5 is equal to the number of fully over-clocked machines you would need. If the machine showed a requirement of 8 however, then that divided by 2.5 for fully overclocked machines is 3.2, which means you would need a minimum of 4 machines. Since you need that 4th machine you don't need the other 3 to be fully over-clocked. You can do 8 divided by 4 (the number of machines you're building) which gives you 2. So, your 4 machines can be clocked to 200% each (which is a power savings over having 3 at 250% and one at 50%).
OMFG THANK YOU, i've been trying to figure out how to get the numbers even there since i got to actual factories (ie, not the on the ground no foundations), and could never figure it out, and its so obvious, but it just... didn't click XD so to make sure, say i've got the need of 20.4 machines (so.. 2040% if im doing my mental math right) i'd just divide the % by machines? so say im willing to build 25 machines (even 5x5), i'd just do 2040/25 correct? which comes out to 25 machines clocked at 81.6%? or did i miss understand?
Dude I’m so glad I found this video when I did because this tool helped so much in planning my mega factory(I’m planning on making 5/min of every space elevator part). I was just about to start putting numbers into a spreadsheet, but I was able to work out all the numbers in like an hour and a half!
I have just enough hours (230) in game to fully appreciate this (I was daydreaming about it as I ran back to base to grab some supplies I ran out of.) And the very next day, today, I find this! We live in wonderful times indeed! Thank You for showing us how to use this most awesome tool!
I used it today to design a factory using two different recipes for steel beams to reduce iron requirements and machine requirements without needing more than a node worth of limestone. It helped a lot!
This tool makes me realize that ive done my math TOTALLY wrong and that the factories ive built really could have been so much bigger xD Guess its time to demolish my creations and start over again. Thanks lol
Can potentially layout an entire playthrough with the modeller although anyone doing so would be wise to use the outpost option to section things off and avoid a single page becoming insanely busy
This modeler is a great tool, it's the loop back of water that gets confusing, but now you have shown how the spurgers are supposed to work it should help.
recycling water is just too unstabile. personally i just dump it into wet concrete for the sink. this way your factory run consistent and you dont have to worry about fluctuations and production having hickups.
@@MrLarsgren the priority splitters & mergers always use the top connections(input or output side depending on if it's a merger or splitter) as the priority. So to recycle water use a priority merger. The water coming from the factory goes into the top input and the bottom input goes to your water extractors to make up the difference. I've you figure these little details works perfectly every single time.
Hey man this popped up in my feed and I wanted to say THANK YOU for pointing out this awesome tool! I've been using the satisfactory tools calculator which works well for calculating stuff backwards but I found the modeler to be more useful for comparing alternate recipes and also just helping me understand the process of making stuff better as I have to build it one step at a time in the modeler. Some of the factories I made using other calculators I missed some things... probably because they just spit out a solution without me having to figure out much on my own. One question: Have you figured out how to calculate backwards? Like say you want to make 8x modular frames and figure out how many resources you need for that, is there a way to do that? Or do you just set the max resources and then set a part limit on the output?
Great program. Been using it a lot lately. A bit tricky to figure out at first but once you 'get it' everything is great. In active development on Discord. Developer will hear your feedback and ideas and bug reports and new versions are released regularly.
Borrow from like tools where the I/O is an explicit dot, making it easier to do multiple connections. e.g. pipes, concrete going/coming to multiple places.
Oh that would have made planning out my weapons factory much easier. And heavy modular frames are easier to plan when you can just say how many machines you want.
Ya know, I'm honestly curious if there is a program like that for other factory games like Satisfactory. Like Dyson Sphere Program and such this is amazing!!
This tool looks amazing to start understanding the concepts and ratios. But how does it factor in belt speeds or does that not matter? Early game I want 100 screws a min, how much iron, rod, and ore to achieve the goal.
I should add, that is the type of question I would ask of the software. Given a desired output rate calculate backwards to reach that goal. But poking around in the software it’s doable by clicking around and experimenting.
My biggest issue with all of the Satisfactory Calculators is that they don't show how the heck you're supposed to get 33 items to one machine 8 to another and 2.5 to a third. Does this calculator address that type of problem in any way? Is there a load balance calculator anywhere?
I'm working with the calculator, but I'm a bit confused about how it determines output quantities. Working backwards from each machine, I noticed that there wasn’t a value displayed until reaching the ore, which showed a value of 60. How is this initial ore amount set? Using that 60 ore, the calculator indicates it will produce 2.5 modular frames, but if I want 10 modular frames, do I need to adjust the ore input until I reach that output? For example, I tried setting the assembler limit to 10 in the calculator, thinking that would fix the output to 10 modular frames, but nothing changed. It seems the 'limit' might just cap the output, regardless of input amounts. Assuming that’s correct, I then set all inputs to 1,000, which did result in 10 modular frames. Is this the best way to control output for a specific quantity, or am I missing a more efficient method?
It doesn't seem to have a storage though... That's what I do. I have the ore, put it into a storage, then into the smelter, then another storage, into the next building and yet another storage container. I mostly do that, so if my power fails, then I have a buffer of some sort.
Get ahead of planned power outages! Storage mid production line is just a bandaid for a larger problem that won’t go away unless you fix it. Expand that power plant!
I hope such a question can be forgiven but how do you convert how many machines into a operating speed % or target amount? like at 6:03 there is 26.67 refineries.. so on one hand that's 26 at full speed and a 7th at ???? speed? and while that might be one way to handle it, how do people break that down into running all 26 or 27 machines at the same speed likely using underclocking.. but I have no idea how I'd convert 26.67 refineries needed into run 27 at X speed/output. thats like one of the biggest trips I've had when trying to figure out a layout ;w;
The speed of the last one gets set to whatever the decimal portion of the number is. So 26.67 would be 27 refineries with the last one set to run at 67%.
I really wish Steam didn't count apps like games as far as "play" time. It totally messes up previous 2 weeks time spent in games and most played games.
I was poking around in some Steam settings recently and I'm pretty sure you can hide specific games from your play time and history. I was probably going to do it with this one for the same reason.
Dear Sir, you asked for comments. As an elderly person, it is very difficult for me to understand you. You speak very fast. The times you don't, it's much easier. Please, slow down, because I think I can learn a lot from you, and there is a lot to learn in this game. Thanks.
