I love how you showed the factory with and without the alternate recipes, since most build guides just assume you have all the perfect alternate recipes
Great video and I love that you show the default recipes too. Thanks for explaining the manifold setup so well. It took me a while to figure out that the splitters will pass on the overflow instead of doing a hard split e.g. forcing 60 to always split at 30 + 30. It's definitely something new players will not understand from the get go. Your overall style and delivery is excellent, so you get a sub from me :)
Ive played before and none of this is new but honestly seeing anothers experience and examples of even simple factories helps conceptualise further designs thanks man!
Would love to see a modular frame factory next!! I need to do that but haven’t gotten to it yet. Just got done with my reinforced iron plate and rotor factories
I just found your channel and I immediately subscribed. Your videos are well put together, good information, and I absolutely love your time-lapse builds (and the music). Keep it up sir.
Nice stuff, alot of % tweeking on the machines but it works. Cool to see different style builds. You talk about manifold and load balancers. I'm a big fan of using the balancer method. It's not that hard to add small amounts to increase your builds. Any number of these work when adding to increase size. 2, 4, 8, 16. Using an mk2 miner and mk3 belts you'll need about 8 smelters. I always try to add a splitter before the load balancer so for future upgrades I can have a 2nd story with another 8 quickly increasing production. I have noticed with the manifold system there is more tweeking the machines also why not add a merger before the first machine to create a closed loop system from the last machine on the line? Anything the last machine can't use just goes back to the first and so on.
Thanks for the comments. With a manifold there is no need to loop back around - if the input is overproducing it will eventually back up until it is either slowing down the input source or being fully consumed. The machines run inefficiently for a few minutes until this equilibrium is reached, but then are efficient after that. Changing the % tweaking on the machines makes no difference between manifold vs load balancer. If I have 3 constructors making 40 screws a minute and feeding them into 1 assembler taking 100 screws a minute, it doesnt matter if what method I use to combine them onto the belt. And underclocking the machines to the correct % saves power and fuel compared to running them at full speed, but only part of the time.
I hope you find the time to continue or start a new satisfactory series Dekoba. I've always liked your videos and your play mirrors what most satisfactory players feel they can accomplish. You are missed by the comunity i have heard time and again that your guide video's were aome of the easiest to listen too and follow
Thank you for the kind words. I am still about, but youtube was a hobby and I had a couple kids which limited my time. I still make videos and release them from time to time, for satisfactory or on some of my other channels, but its been a long time. If I come back to game videos in earnest, there will be a lot of satisfactory but ill probably also branch out into other games for my own sanity.
Hey Dekoba, what method do you use to record your time lapses in the 3rd person? That would have to be a mod right? I don't think that's part of photo mode?
