Nodding along, taking notes, then you get to the "small storage boxes along beams" bit and my co-op partner and I both went THAT IS BRILLIANT. Material stashes on-site without taking up the space of a regular/industrial full-up bin, and making them look neat besides? Heck yeah.
Fantastic video Tom, I love the advanced techniques you are showing off. Its worth mentioning that when doing up-lighting, the walkway T junctions don't interfere with the light, but the rest of the walkway pieces do. This allows you to put a walkable path over up-lights so they are flush with a buildings floor.
One of things I love about your channel is how you show what more can be done ingame without the need really of mods. I do know you use a few, but I know these things can be done without them.
Holy f***! Man.. if only I had the patience to try to design such good looking structures. But unfortunately I'm the floor planning/space efficiency guy. XD
As a new play how big do I need to build I see all these massive mega factories but to complete the game so you need these mega factories or are they being build by content creators to show case. I am just unlocking oil got my first couple oil gens but been couple about 100 hours in the game don’t seam to have enough resources to build these massive factories and feed them and know wonder do I really need 1000 computers a min or is this just items content creators do to show case there builds
Appreciate the lighting tips, especially the using signs as lights! That was genius! Really wish they wouldve added more smaller lights for indoors but this works great too
I watched this to see how you angled the sunbeam style signage, ended up watching the whole thing, great vid, so much cool stuff we can do now and I'm sure there's plenty that hasn't been thought of yet as well.
you can use the scrollwheel click to select whatever you're looking at (similar to minecraft), or you can use the hotbar. assign buildings to the hotbar by hovering over a building in the menu and pressing the button you want it to be assigned to. you can also hold down "alt" while scrolling to change through multiple hotbars.
You know, I saw the update trailer and stuff for update 5 but i didn't realize just how MUCH they added for customization. Amazing. Time to start a new world! I can't wait
I just thought of a great feature that Satisfactory really needs. You should be able to preset the settings of different things such as the signs so that when you place the sign, it would already be set to the right setting. Much better than having to copy paste them all the time. Same can be done to everything such as constructors. You could set them to the right production % and the item and then place them in the right spots without having to copy paste things. Doesnt seem like it would be too hard to add to the game either. Think of all the hours of copy pasting that would be saved...
This might just be the single best Satisfactory video I've seen. About 500 hours of gameplay in and this has given me so many ideas for 100s of hours more 😁
This video is one of my favourites and I can see myself coming back to refer to this while working on my mega factory or future saves. Excellent work - especially the power cables along ceiling beams.
I want to point out that using a lot of signs for fake light in close proximity are very GPU hungry atm. So be aware if you dont have beast PC. Its kinda pain to place and set them just to get removed becouse everything went blurry once a lot of them are placed. Learned that hard way sadly :D
How did you get the white accents on the roof of your factory at the beginning to be so white? They look to me like concrete foundations painted white, but the game wont let me get them nearly as brightly white for some reason? I can paint them other colors like blue, red, yellow, etc, but when I try white it doesn't get nearly as bright as yours.
Guys I have a Question I have made a 15 per minute Encased industrial beam factory and now I want to process 10 of them to heavy modular frames. How does it work that are going 10 encased industrial beam to process it to heavy modulare frames out of the container and the other 5 can still stay in the container Very thankful to get very soon a answer!!
Loving these architectural/building tips. Though I do wonder, how do you get all those beautiful designs while also not tanking your FPS or grinding your game to a near halt?
@TotalXclipse yay.., I have a similar one; however, it backs up. I didn't think to add the sinks around the outside. Your builds are inspiring, thank you.
"You can add depth to your roofs..." Not really a tip that makes much sense when your normal roof is a flat surface. Which mine almost always are, since it means I don't need to strip anything away if I build something on top of it.
Even with a flat surface you can add depth - doesn't matter if you use diagonals like me, or peaked roofs, you can make it work if you want to, just give it a try 😉
So what was your favourite tip? and do you have any others you'd recommend?!
the open shelter is definitely my favourite, you can use it as a temporar factory and it's look awesome ! good job !
all of them ..holy duck .. the elevator building is just amazing man
Beams with personal storage -- but ALSO -- CTRL replacing road barriers with walls!
Oh sorry! I'm guessing there's a rule about putting links in comments. Anyway, seriously, that angled wall trick is brilliant, thanks.

I'm so amazed the designs you build, keep up your fantastic structure design. love the storage idea at the end, that look epic and brill ❤
My goodness, that build looks amazing!
“You can also use signs as signage.” 🤯 😉
Very nice looking setups!
they should just put different light options ...makes not sense to do all this work for a simple feature
That hexagon beam shot..... bro how do you even get your factory in those funky shapes O.o
Patience, a lot of patience
this is cool and all but WHAT IS THAT TOOLBAR MY GUY? put down like mk 5 belts and the good foundations.
Best Satisfactory tip ever. Use signs as signs. Very clever idea there. 😁
You have so much cool ideas that i didn't see anywhere else, thank you!

Using signs as signage... You mad lad!
🤣 about time right?
Massive fan of what you have done with the beams in the cross or hexagon sections. Its all really useful though
the indirect lighting on the coated concrete floors don't work for me could u explain me why ?
I have a love hate relationship with beams. So much steel spent on them just for a good look.
At 7:40, how do you get those tall windows without the frames? Is that also in the AwesomeShop?
Appreciate the lighting tips, especially the using signs as lights! That was genius! Really wish they wouldve added more smaller lights for indoors but this works great too
How exactly do you make that pipe design?
i have 600 hours and i didnt know any of these techniques
Still trying to figure out how I can get the valves to do that-
any video on how to those type of roofs from the start i can't seem to figure it out
how do you make a beam go diagonal?
You can use signs for pseudo lighting, a todo list, or for signage. That last one is mind blowing.
Got em! 🤣 I mean to be fair who uses signs... As signs 🤪
I watched this to see how you angled the sunbeam style signage, ended up watching the whole thing, great vid, so much cool stuff we can do now and I'm sure there's plenty that hasn't been thought of yet as well.
How are you changing items without opening the build menu?
you can use the scrollwheel click to select whatever you're looking at (similar to minecraft), or you can use the hotbar. assign buildings to the hotbar by hovering over a building in the menu and pressing the button you want it to be assigned to. you can also hold down "alt" while scrolling to change through multiple hotbars.
Superb guides!
While I knew most of the techniques of building I haven't used it in such a creative way!
Need massively improve here. ;-)

Wow, what a fantastic ending storage design, i love circle designs, i want to try something like that also. Keep up good work !
Add beans.
I'ts impressive but i don't think i'll have that much time to implement...
I can't even get to the point where I need to start adding trains before I just start a new build...
You are the boss

They're just white concrete foundations
You are a design genius.

Very thankful to get very soon a answer!!
Just use a splitter to send 5 items to the storage then have the other 2splitter outputs run to a merger then on to the next factory.
@@TotalXclipse alright thanks for the fast answer
Loving these architectural/building tips. Though I do wonder, how do you get all those beautiful designs while also not tanking your FPS or grinding your game to a near halt?
I've got a good pc (which helps) but I will be moving over to a dedicated server when they allow for mods 😊
@@TotalXclipse Fair though saying that without anything to measure by lol. I've got a Rizen 3800X and a Radeon 6700XT & 32GB of sys ram.
How in the heck did you tuck that double automated gate at 2:35??? It's seriously cool. Awesome tips. Thank you!
Place down a barrier then open up the gate - hold ctrl and replace the barrier with the gate 😊
@@TotalXclipse Appreciate the reply! I'm going to try this after work tomorrow. Cheers!!
That RGB eye is a masterpiece!
Any plans on making a video of that storage area?
Yep
@TotalXclipse yay.., I have a similar one; however, it backs up. I didn't think to add the sinks around the outside. Your builds are inspiring, thank you.
This time with sound? 😉
🤣🤣🤣 I hope so

Tip 20 - if you want to build pretty building install Sims!
