    Have you destroyed the hole factory yet?

    Also are you upgrading all belts or only upgrading them to deliver exactly the material amounts you need?

    You are welcome.

      My stages are:

      • Slow, inefficient and spaghetti factory but gets the job done, everything stuffed in a few boxes.
      • get output parts split randomly along belts to make the more complicated products
      • make a train, yay!
      • run out of power, aww…
      • bring out the spreadsheet, careful clocking and splitters to make “ideal” ratios of products to perfectly utilize maximum ore production
      • Get a healthy supply of smart splitters, use overflow and stop caring about perfect ratios.
      • retrieve products from “perfect” factories in spaghettified manner again to get the highest tier materials
      • remake the base with better ratios and better aesthetics.
      • sit back and realize you’ve spent 100 hours of your life on this, couldn’t be happier.

        I highly recommend the Satisfactory Tools’ production planner, it makes it so much faster to figure out how much of what you need to achieve a particular result.

        It’s making going nuclear look actually reasonable, something I never managed to achieve in EA

      I mostly use belt speeds based on need myself, I find just going for top speed belts introduces potential issues with things not feeding correctly and overflows triggering prematurely… Besides, I find it more pleasing to see a line of slow build items moving to their destination than one at a time rocketing at ludicrous speed across the factory

      Though, if we could literally rocket propel items from one area to another, that would be a different story …
