Thank you to Prosperous Universe for sponsoring this video, check out the game for yourself here: prosperousuniverse.com/?WhatDarrenPlays& The Blueprints, Logistcs map, Power map and more will be available Dec 26th around 5PM UK time.

@TheRezro 2 месяца назад

I personally would keep Copper Refineries, Keterium Refineries and Sheet Factory on one side. And Light Switches, Pumps and Sinks on another side. Especially as both Pumps and Sings go down. And it would simply look way batter having them aligned.

@ryangross5446 7 месяцев назад

"I said it wasnt gonna be that complicated, I straight up lied." This line got me lmao, love this series and this build is everything i was hoping for and more. Awesome video

@Recusant 7 месяцев назад

I'm an electrician. What you've done with your "cable runners" would be very similar to a bus duct if the metal beams themselves were the conductors rather than the wires. Each continuous cable going back to each disconnect (switch) represents a circuit. The room with all the switches is pretty analogous to a switchgear.

@bradcox2750 6 месяцев назад

I have no idea how you kept all of this in order as well as you did. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

@WhatDarrenPlays 6 месяцев назад

Thank you!

@ExRetribution 7 месяцев назад

Hey Darren, I thought I'd share a way to use power outlets vertically. You can use a beam horizontal across the floor, rotate it, and attach a wall outlet on either side, from there you just connect the outlets to each other, and delete the beam if you want.

@adamwalker3560 7 месяцев назад

I love the way you found simple, blueprintable power management options, and the belt cutoff is a really nice touch. We really appreciate all the hard work you put into these builds.

@JigglyTof 7 месяцев назад

Hey Darren! Regarding why your trucks are stopping at the Coal truck station, it’s because of the way recording the routes works. Basically, when you record Truck paths, you don’t actually have to stop and press the unload/load key, you only have to go through the « bounding » box of the truck station, and it will automatically create a « Stop node » for the truck. This is why they are stopping at the Coal (refuel) Truck Station. To prevent them from stopping, all you have to do is hop on all of your trucks, show the paths, physically walk to the yellow stop sign under the truck station, interact with it, and delete it. They should still get refuelled, but they won’t stop.

@WhatDarrenPlays 7 месяцев назад

Yeah I was actually experimenting with this, and once I noticed the node I removed it…. However it seems the trucks try to avoid the bounding box of the station, trying to go around or glitching through it, so I think I’ll probably just feed the coal over to the other stations, or, just let them stop on their way in as they seem to form a queue anyways which is fine, i was more worried they’d collide at the entrance or block it.

@JigglyTof 7 месяцев назад

⁠Hum, that’s weird. Could it be because removing the stop node now creates a slightly different path and the interpolation between the previous and next node makes it a bigger turn? To be honest I’m just speculating at this point. Trucks seem to work best when we are not looking at them unfortunately. Anyway, keep up the good work!

@danwarner7922 7 месяцев назад

Keep it up Darren, your attention to detail is phenomenal. FYI - The giant billboards work as an amazing replacement for those old vanilla lights with the 'fog rays'. The light bounces and does all the good stuff. I dont use vanilla lights ever anymore. Cheers & Happy Holidays!

@karlk7070 6 месяцев назад

This is the GOAT series of Satisfactory! For ppl keep asking "lock hologram", I think it is becoz you didn't mark this as Episode X, so there are new people hopping in every episode without context.

@9BallBory Месяц назад

New player here who is building along with you on the series, this is one of the most impressive series I’ve seen for teaching players. Yes the coal plant really challenged me as I had never even build a single factory before let alone that big thing but I felt very accomplished and still do when I fix something that messes up with it. I haven’t got to building the copper plant but I can’t wait, it’s gonna teach me so much stuff and take me 100 hours game lol but I’ve been loving it. And hopefully when 1.0 rolls around I’ll maybe start a new world and try my best to do things based on my own design to see what I’ve learned. Loving this though.

@CHEEKYLAD2002 7 месяцев назад

Wow, causually just dropping that it's a 7+ hour recording session! Makes me both happier at how slowly I'm progressing through the game and daunting at how I'm gonna struggle when I'm only committing a few hours a week to playing🫨 Loving the series though, so helpful and insightful as well as being enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work

@Fobbek 23 дня назад

Love the series. Thanks for all the hard work for our entertainment. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

@_JustMonika 7 месяцев назад

The amount of effort is crazy. I'm a big fan of doing power management, so this episode was extra interesting. On the mining enclosures, I actually think this one looks better than the closed ones you made, something about having minimum infrastructure on remote locations appeal more to me.

@mikecoad7270 7 месяцев назад

@user-cz4tv3eb9r 7 месяцев назад

Hey Darren, I think that the trucks automatically create nodes when you pass under a station you may have to go back into the routes and delete them

@waltdickerson5212 7 месяцев назад

You can manage the power lines a lot easier with priority power switches. Just run a main power line through the factory. Then put a priority power switch at each branch to the refinery block. The "A" circuit goes back to the main power line and the "B" circuit to the refinery block. You can then manage the priority power switches from any other priority power switch and turn off the switches remotely. It will allow you to eliminate all those power lines and blueprints for lines.

@R.o.T. 6 месяцев назад

(unsure if this was realized recently or not) the pit stop for fuel does work, you have to have the station set to load but not have anything in it. you could delete the stop on the truck path, but then the truck wont get the fuel, it has to dock for that

@Chaos_Inkarnate 7 месяцев назад

If you use a beam to cross the gap of the foundation, you can attach a wall outlet to that, makes it look like a floor connection, instead of having the cables going through the floor

@SMARTZ1985 7 месяцев назад

Priority power switches are like having a remote control anywhere you can tab into mains power you can build an additional switch and turn any other switch on and off. I think this would make it easy to do things like turn off belt locks while standing at the fluid buffers watching for the machines to fill up

@Mako_Shogun 7 месяцев назад

Hi Darren I don't know if it has been mentioned or if you know, but there is a way to take care of the outlet from the floor to a ceiling to not be a power pole like you are talking about around minute 39 of this video. If you use pillars and stack two on top if each other. So you can see one and one under that then delete the top one you can attach an outlet to the top of the pillar that will be flush with the floor after deleting the top one. 39:12. Then you delete the pillar, and and can put an outlet on the bottom of the foundation directly below then string them together 😊. Hope this helps. Excellent work otherwise

@millertime08 7 месяцев назад

I tried building a warehouse with a row of truck stations, I had a similar issue where tractors driving past a truck station would automatically load/unload. I got annoyed with that (and their incessant getting stuck / physics glitching) and deleted the whole thing lol (using trains now instead... love that they have an actual rail forcing them to behave) edit: by the way, thanks for this holiday-time episode! you're amazing, and all your hard work is very appreciated! hope 2024 is a great year for you

@PHErholt 6 месяцев назад

A little late, but if you turn on nodes you can delete the stop node

@shroomzy5000 4 месяца назад

Hey Darren, you figured out the wire clipping thru floor problem, you just only used it on the ceiling lol use the beams to place wall outlets on floor, thats what i be doing lol

@a.abdulaziz1679 7 месяцев назад

wow, what a nice surprize

@Appl_Jax 3 месяца назад

My biggest takeaway from this as a intermediate player, is that I'm grossly underutilizing awesome sinks. The whole "throw all the ore into the sink when 'off'" is genius.

@shimo_96 7 месяцев назад

To address the fluid buffers at the bottom of the build that don't fill until the top ones are full; this I think is because buffers fill according to head lift, so if there isn't head lift, the buffer will fill and its providing head lift will increase and cap at its max when its full. If there is head lift, the buffer will not fill until there is no more room in the rest of the system after it.

@AnthonyMalesys 2 месяца назад

@benwhite24 7 месяцев назад

OH YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@raelynne79 7 месяцев назад

So, the truck thing: if you drive even close to another station, you need to go back and delete that node before you save the route or it tries to pick up or drop off at every opportunity, not just the ones you planned. Super annoying and means you have to drive every route twice (especially if you're trying to do nice one way systems for your vehicles) because those nodes don't show up until you've completed the path. That said, I am in awe of the scope and planning of your builds. My current strategy is "as small as I can get away with" and "we'll finish the aesthetics later". Happy Christmas!

On one hand, it is the place I'm most familiar with, but on the other hand, materials at the other locations are supposed to be better...

@XeridoxVisualArts 7 месяцев назад

20:24 "Split Happens" ... I just found that really funny lol. Great video btw! I'm considering doing some vids on Satisfactory myself... I agree, lumen does look really good, except for the shadows...they're just too dark I think.

@CaioAletroca 7 месяцев назад

Good to see you tackle the lighting. I'm in my first playthough, not following you but picking inspiration in your builds. For now there's only one type of ceiling light and it sucks, and the popular mod that adds more lights doesn't work with Lumen. I went with the metal beam across the ceiling and display attached to it, no power and no extra nasty wires on top of it. And a plus that the metal beam painted as deep black looks like conduit, makes the ceiling more busy.
