We pick apart our Community Wiki and talk about unreleased content 

When scanning for ores, it would be useful to see whether they are used or unused.

06:30 we did have more cat photos on the page at the same time, but it was discussed & decided that there should only be one cat to avoid possible misconceptions that a given cat image represented a given stinger type.

From now on, every patch you release should have "Still no base defense" at the end of the patch notes.

I think the powerslug needs a different pickup animation where you pull hard on it (the time it takes to pick up) till it comes of so it has more reason why it takes so long to pick it up.

Coffee Stain looking at fan-run wiki: "So if that's true..." LOL

The wiki should be integrated into the hub computer terminals.

The math of seen in the wiki is just proof that engineers also do engineering in their free time.

16:04 I think the Powered Walls item is a little busted as described. What I would love to see instead is more of a Tesla Coil. A building that wirelessly powers everything in a large sphere. It would be a nice end-game building to have, and would reduce the need to spend so much time connecting production buildings to power lines. A Mk.4 Power Pole if you will.

Oh wow the fact that the wiki already fixed the stinger types is insane.

People who update the Wiki: "Write that down, write that down!"

Powered walls/foundations would be fantastic; 1:4 and 1:6 and 1:9 (1 pole per 9 machines for the 10 connector) those ratios are how many poles we have to have just to connect a small set of machines to any power source, multiplied by at least 2 just for the power lines. If the power connectors connected a power source/grid to a wall or foundation to provide power to the entire system of machines on that foundation grid we could eliminate potentially thousands of objects from our saves and wouldn't have to add thousands of objects to our saves just to hide the connectors and lines themselves. It would free up all that just for more creativity. Add more corner stuff!

Curved walls please 😊 Using the mouse wheel to adjust the curvature. Building in this game has gotten so good but building anything round or circular is problematic!

I would love a pilotable aircraft. There's already trucks, cars, trains and a jetpack, but you can't really fly around the map like a drone would. Maybe you could make it run off turbofuel or batteries? I dunno. Would be fun though.

coffee stain devs on the decision for slugs over stones "Is this horrific enough to turn gemstones into shards?" "Nah man, we need to grind up living organisms. make them slugs"

I love how coffee stain works so closely with their community and always are just funny throughout all of their videos. This game is so great!

That unreleased building on 14:04 looks DOPE.

You could Implement Remote Storage using a special Drone Terminal and remote control item to request a resource drop. The drone Terminal would have a conveyer port and with the Remote control item you can request one drone to be loaded with the Item type and amount you requested and it would fly to you to drop of a small container (maybe the size and capacity of a Personal Storage Box)

I love learning little tidbits about the development and how much impact the community has even behind the scenes with how things are named. These videos with you guys are always a treat, never fails to make me smile!

15:45 I mean lighting still absolutely obliterates my framerate at night from the tall floodlights. When they're in night mode as soon as night comes the framerate just dies. It doesn't seem to happen with ceiling lights, street lights, or even the wall-mounted lights, but those tall floodlight towers, every time.

Oh god now I'm worried about Spire Coast because I have a HUGE turbofuel setup in there with like, 100 fuel generators

Powered foundations could be really cool by when having constructors and other buildings sit on top of them they get powered. They could have it so power outlets stick out of the bottom of them to be powered, but also have these platforms not be able to be stacked on each other because of the power outlets. They could even be in the customizer tab of the Awesome Shop when you unlock parts of Caterium.

You know what would be really cool? A belt that matches the output of the Mk 3 miner.

19:30 Well, I used to have my factory in the Spire Coast. But over a couple days of playing I have moved my entire factory to a safe place. 👍 Thanks to my friend for helping me get the last stuff out of there yesterday!

Thanks Jace (and Snutt), helps a lot.

Im playing your game right now, this is the best timing.

i live for the day that they implement the concept of "Daisy Chaining" if i have 60 machines in a system (lets say 2 rows of 30, i should be able to have one feed in, and then chain all the rest of the machines together in series..

I love the portal reference in the backround.

13:20 well with that logic you wouldnt have different miners. The better ones do the same as the previous but quicker on top of overclocking. Also the mk3 miner being able spit out like 1200 per minute is useless until we get a better belt. so it makes me wonder why it was added.

Blueprints. Copy and Paste. Baked in the game, no mods. You got that perfectly balanced 17 constructors and... you now must build 2 sets.

Love you guys! Thanks for the videos =)

This was such a fun idea! Also seeing Jace and Snutt together at the same location is awesome.

I wouldnt Mind having like MK 2 of certain things. Perhaps doesnt change anything but maybe the size its more compact smaller. So instead of having a Huge one, the Mk2 would be like it became Efficient enough to make it Smaller and compact. So it takes up Less Room. Also Perhaps the Converter could still be used. Perhaps it would be something you need to Mix the Metal between the Sam ingots with another Metal to craft

Per the Powered Wall - This would be an INCREDIBLE Boon to a lot of factory builders, myself included. Now, I Am Not A Game Designer, but I think making it work would be very simple. You can have an "Origin Platform" with a big heavy-duty transformer box and maybe some cool-looking user interface stand or something, which comes with a standard 1x1 or 2x2 style foundation platform. Powered Foundation platforms themselves would look like normal foundations, but with a skin-change to give them a cladding of copper, maybe a big copper X in the middle of them. Powered platforms would all have to connect to the origin platform, which itself would be wired to your power grid. The platforms themselves should work exactly like standard foundations, everything from zoops to how they snap together. All powered platforms must be connected by other platforms to origin points in order to work. Powered platforms should probably cost resources you'd get from the mid-to-late game, giving Power-poles their time to shine in factory construction before you start building 'wireless' factories. Then any building which is constructed on the platforms draws power automatically, using the origin-platform as a source. The easiest way to deal with the problem is to make it so a building would snap-to the center of a powered platform, basically like an induction charger. You could do this with any building that draws power, including lighting fixtures. Or, if this seems too restrictive, make it possible for buildings to check what kind of surfaces they've been built on, when they're built. If they detect a powered platform, they will default to checking the associated origin point (Like checking to see if a power line has power, same code and same idea) for electricity input. This is my rough-sketch idea, but I think it has merit.

watching this vid 30m after release, and browsing the wiki at the same time. They are changing the wikis as we speak :P fucking cool!

You guys rock. Great vid, great humour. Thanks Snutt! Helps a lot. P.S. seeing you two together. It’s literally like seeing Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in the same scene in Heat. Pure chills.

Thanks for the spire coast reminder. Just started a new playthrough and thought building vertical with some extra ground clearance would make it "future safe" but it sounds like I better avoid that area entirely until the next update :)

Love you guys always !!!

A suggestion for the front page of the wiki, have "No Base Defense!" in all caps and bold and put a link to the video about that feature not being added, every week in the Steam Discussions someone make a thread about adding in a base defense, its getting annoying.

PORTABLE STORAGE/AIRDROP- if you have a drone on a storage unit, you can build a portable storage unit that you can select a specific drone port to drop off whatever its holding but only once like a single use airdrop. You won't need power for it because the drone could hover and drop a container you have to dismantle to gather your material. It would be a beacon you set down and it would explode as soon as the drone drops off the package

One thing I thought of, because of the mark 2 buildings. Is having recipes with a secondary output, which is more like recycled junk from the actual recipe. For example using water and ore, to get more ore, would also craft a small amount of concrete on the side. So the upgrade would be another output, where more things sometimes come out, but it still works the same as (for example) a constructor. It still builds iron poles, but look at that! Some material wasn't long enough for another pole. So you cut it into screws instead!

The powered wall actually sounds really cool, I imagine it working like a wireless charging pad where wall connectors attached to it would pull power. Would make for some clean looking builds

I love this game so much! Thank you for all you do to make it fun and ever evolving. It would be great if we could get something like Central Storage back into the mix. It would be especially helpful in those times when going out Hard drive hunting so you wouldn't have to bring some of every possible thing you might need to open one.

Can confirm that the technical details for the Save File entry on the Wiki is great; wrote a PowerShell script that can display some interesting bits and pieces.

Though I'm not sure how to implement it, I would love to see the powered wall. Some builds feel really cluttered by power cables and it would be nice to have an alternative. I would also love to see the converter make some sort of appearance, maybe being based on the speed of belts connected to it and having different power cost based on the ore you make, similar to the particle accelerator. One of the big limiting factors for how big you can build in Satisfactory is the rarer ores, simply having less you can use than iron or limestone. It also would create some rather interesting math problems; "If uranium is the limit on how many nuclear plants you can run, how much iron would you need to convert until something else runs out? What runs out once that becomes sufficient?" and i think that would be fun to solve.

Loved it. Pls do more such stuff ^^

I'd like a choppa as the ultimate transport vehicle. Traveling large distances is a real pain

just discovered this game, you guys are my hero. the game is incredible.

On the topic of MK II Buildings, interpret the existing buildings as follows: Assembler is a MK II Constructor, Manufacturer is a MK III Constructor, Foundry is a MK II Smelter, Blender is a MK II Refinery. The Particle Accelerator, Packager, and The Fluid Extractors (Oil, Water) have no advanced variants.

powered wall is a good concept for people who build walls and roofs around their factories, but some people see the machines as factories themselves, with ladder and scaffolds, so it's really a gray area. one way or another, placing poles and connecting hundreds of machines side by side looks like the favelas of my home country, it needs 3x extra work to hide them and make the factory look "clean" and organized. A good idea is what the Daisy Chain mod already does.

you guys are the best!!

The regular buildings look great and your explanation makes perfect sense.

It's videos and content like this that separates Coffee Stain from other game developers. Our community is outstanding. Thank You!

Cool stuff! Very interesting to see how much has changed over the years too. Really bummed about not having MK.2 building. I understand why, Like explained - having all the work done for essentially the same building. But I do wish there was another way to increase production and speed on the Smelter & Constructor. Over clocking only goes so far, and for mega bases it just takes up so much room. Maybe Coffee Stain could come up with another idea for these two common buildings, and have like a late game addon structure for them that would increase their production rates without having to just make a brand new, bigger model.

Thanks future Jace. Helped a lot.

For the powered walls I think you could use the wall plug as a power input on them and maybe a line saying that in the description so its clear and it spreads freely to any powered walls touching a charged powered wall directly. In use I think they should be able to have a long reach to cover a large factory floor, but they need to make most a box of some type (not any shape, but a rough building outline, like looking at schematics of the powered area's footprint). Maybe balance the range by having a scaling rule for how many must be in the wall and/or connected to the foundations on each side to complete the circuit and power the floor. Could be complex, but I feel that should be a late or mid-late game unlock and by that point we are already doing complex stuff with manifolds and pipe/fluid management. To me the payoff would be worth the time investment to figure it out since it would really clean up the look of a factory and it would feel that more rewarding to get working right.

Thanks, Jace, helps a lot

To be honest I think powered walls should work in a way where you use wall connectors to power the walls and output from the walls. Would make it for a nice cleanup of wires around the factory. However, I believe there should be a way to route the "wires" inside the powered walls so you can have multiple power grids on the same factory walls.

RE: heat protection suit. Maybe there was a plan to have 'heat damage' near the geysers?

"move your stuff out of spire coast" So you're telling me I need to start a new world.

I'm chicken of the thought of building in the 'Retcon Zones'... (Especially the Red Forest...) Bless Arceus for Drones... Also, Suggestion: Assault Vest for Lizard Doggos that enable them to pack a Jetpack & a Rifle to aid you in the Combat... in addition to being able to train them to watch what the hell they're doing with Nuclear Waste. Or... is this part of the 'Future SAM Ore Content'...? (Imagines Lizard Doggo Partner lookin like a Armored Sci-Fi K9 Cop... Top Priority Target: Anyone who ever kills Lizard Doggos... even indirectly via Environment... Don't even think of tryin to say that the removal of the Platform under the Doggo onto a Jump Pad pointed into the Void was a 'build gun accident'...)

A nice alternative to cables would be a sort of tesla-tower, that distributes power in a sphere around it. Show the range in the blueprint and highlite the machines it’s reaching. And it would be so great, when we could get a half Fundation to connect halfpipes lower and upper part.

Speaking of the powered wall. I think the way it should work is that any power connector connected to a powered wall should work like a power connector. So making the walls a passthrough basically. So if you connect one power input on one powered wall, you can pull the power out of any other powered wall that has a direct connection to the input-wall. So yeah, power passthrough.

17:49 shows the previous building they just said they had never seen XD well played

Thx Jace/Snutt helps a lot. Thumbs up. Out there are a lot of pioneers who would like to reduce the need of power lines. I'm sure. Nor am I. I like it to cable up the buildings usually with ceiling connectors a lot. My inner (Adrian) Monk cries, if I see wall/ceiling clipping power cables or wildlined conveyor belts in content creators videos. ;)

Very cool that you did this :D

the portal sign in the background is so cool

I love the test chamber sign in the background

17:00 - Power Pole MK4: uses the same wireless method of transferring energy (tesla style) as the hover pack. We could get rid of all the cables - and the logic is already ingame.

** I think the converter can be used to separate combined products such as sulfuric acid, for example, sulfur and water. Maybe it can also find use to separate alloying materials (iron and copper alloy) that will be added in the future. ** I would like to see both poweredwall and poweredfloor. It might even be nice if it does a small amount of damage when hovered over. This may require a new protective suit to navigate comfortably in electrical environments.

good job with satisfactory its super fun

Powered walls would be cool. There could be a circuit overlay on the same wall textures. Just add power inlet and outlet ports on the walls so the wall becomes a conductor. Then there is just a line, like the green lines drawn between the inlet and the outlets. The line goes away when not in power line, or inlet outlet, placement mode. Could require quick wire and walls can be upgraded without really changing in appearance. So we can select what walls become powered. Then we need to be able to add different circuits within the wall by an option on the inlets and outlets through the customization menu. So there can be light inlets and outlets as well as machines, or even blocks of machines.

I believe the model for the Quantum Encoder is shown right beside the Remote Storage in that wide shot. I hope that model gets used somewhere, I absolutely _love_ the style of that building.

The powered wall would be cool, but I think a powered floor foundation would make more sense. Maybe have a "console" conduit item for the power input, and then it puts out power to all foundations within a 2-3 foundation radius, as long as the foundations are physically touching. This foundation power should be more expensive and less efficient than existing conduits hence pushing it towards later game players. Overclocking increases the radius and power draw cost. Would be a pretty cool idea. Thanks again for the game!

On the powered walls, what it’s like a house, there would be “hidden wires” and could attach to the wall connecters so you wouldn’t have to run though the build to get power to the other side of a build

Powered walls do sound really cool. Here's my suggestion: * Powered walls and foundations are variants of current ones and take additional copper to build * Some kind of subtle addition to the texture that shows it's a powered wall, like a copper metal outline * Neighboring powered walls and foundations form a grid * Wall connectors can move power in and out of the grid Basically just replace wire connections between wall connectors with the wall and foundations themselves, i.e. in wall wire.

I would love powered walls! The way I would do it would be to have the wall have a visible power connector automatically as a part of itself, so players would see it and know how to connect it up. Like a wall connector that sticks out, but is just part of the wall building part.

I feel like adding any powered "Wall Outlet" could power the wall, the same way as a powered train station powers a connected railroad/station. As for making a powered wall, I'd have it so you could upgrade walls to a powered wall the same way you could upgrade your conveyor belts to the Christmas event belts at the cost of 1 cable or wire. Maybe, Even, Possibly, Maybe, Foundations could upgrade the same way? Might be a bit too easy if the walls/foundations could directly power each other, but you could put a "Wall Outlet" on a foundation?

The portal chamber 19 poster is so cool. Just ordered one!

Powered foundations should work exactly like regular foundations except they transfer power through touch alone. There would be no cable connections, so they have to be attached to one another by using more foundations and powered by placing a power building directly on it. Maybe another thing that could be done to balance it a little more is that it might only be able to hold 80-90% of the maximum power output.

For the concept of mk2 constructors and such, the way you circumvented that is through the alternate recipies, but i think the ability to use a higher tier crafter to make more efficient (power wise) production would be nice (such as an assembler with 2 iron ingot inputs can produce the same amount per minute as 2 separate constructors, but just at a lower power cost). I think that method would remove a bit of the randomness of alt recipies, and allow for players to decide if they want a more space/power efficient setup or a larger setup with lower tier hardware.

Thanks Jace, helps a lot

We love your game, Devs and community are just amazing, everyone at Coffee Stain, we thank you for this lovely piece of gaming. My hours are reaching 400, with 190 hours being occupied by my first save. Ty all of you, I am so happy to play this amazing game.

I would like to see some kind of powered floor/wall, not for buildings, but for the hover pack! It could be powered with a building variant like train networks (normal powered wall/floor with some kind of fuse-box-like structure on one side?), and maybe also act like train networks in allowing you to connect multiple grid connections and transfer power between them. It wouldn't necessarily be practical to use to power buildings (though you could zoop up a line of connection enabled powered floor next to a wall for some cool looking connections), but it would be nice QoL for say, large factory floors where finding and plugging holes/dips in the electrical grid powering the hover pack, which can currently be a pain.

"Pull your stuff out of Spire Coast" You say things like this Jace, when many players use that as the primary oil source; nowhere on this map are as many oil wells as in Spire Coast! And it is neatly available as my railroad tracks go through the Great Canyon towards the desert-spanning Gigafactory!

I feel like the powered walls should act like intended, but the floors either needed to be connected by a special connector, or you would need special powered floors. Also for balancing, maybe the wall has a specific range of floor tiles, or maybe there could be something like a repeater tile that resends the power to more tiles around it, and once again for balancing it could have a trait where it its self doesn't transmit power to the buildings above, or you could even add a battery tile. I wonder what that does? Eh, I'll let you figure it out.

i'd love those eletric wall/power wall (i really dont remember the name lol), because something that i find extremely annoying when building factorys is to power all machines. I like things perfect simetric and organized so everything must be in the same distance in all factorys and that take a lot of time. u could even make eletric walls gives some cool efect/animation to make things more beautifull and futurist in the factorys :)

Powered walls/foundations should be simple and intuitive to use. The KISS idea is this: If a wall with a power outlet is tied to a power generation source then any other "connected " wall/foundation with a power outlet connected to a consuming device/machine will be able to leverage that connection without having to explicitly run a cable. In this context "connected" means there are one or more wall/foundations that build a path between the outlet connected to the power source and the outlet connecting the consuming machine/device

The way they said they don’t know what the Quantum Encoder is makes it sound like they know what it is and are planning to use it in a future update and don’t want to hint at it or deny it. Same go’s for the Quantum crystal.

I found interesting the part of adding sth that could destroy the machines (or broke them in order to make them useless if you not repair them or sth) and you should use some defensive constructions to maintain safe the factories

For powered walls maybe have it be like a powered pillar that you attach foundations to and it provides power to all items on said foundations within a grid range removing the need for wires everywhere

Thanks Jace and Snutt, very cool!

Man, i don't even play satisfactory, but these dev content are quite fun to watch

My only wish for now is a dedicated key for each action (keybinds), using the hoverpack with C (crouch) is a pain... I have my shift and ctrl keys binded for sprint and guides and it messes me up... plus using my stream deck keys for custom hotbars toggles would be awsome!

I got to the powered wall and had to say something. Just saw the other day that the pioneer had some sturdy steel toed rubber boots. A powered floor that powered all the machines on the floor/foundation/roof would be amazing. Can connect them on the outside via the systems in game as is update 7

My God how I love Coffee Stain

I really dig the idea of powered foundations. Like, make it kinda expensive or something (caterium ingot, concrete, reinforced plates, and quartz?) so that its only used where you actually put your machines but can feed power directly to the machines that are on it.

We did enjoy it!

I think a good concept for mk2 production buildings would be a double input of a constructor/smelter or even combine the two as this would help with the item limitation of the game near late game and only for single input buildings so the assemblers and manufacturers would stay the same because turbo motors dont require as many manufacturers producing lower tier items but low tire building are needed en masse if that makes any sense lol

talking about the "powered wall" what I picture in my head is the "internal electrical/pipes" from the Ark mod Structures +. There were a few jenky issues with that, but they had to work within the confines of the base game programming, BEING a mod... but as the creators of this game you'd be able to implement it much cleaner and more successfully. If you already have the concept mapped out to the point of ending up in a build, I definitely vote "yes" to less wires in my factory. Just make sure passing power from generators to floors/walls, and from wires to walls / back to wires is easy and intuitive (again, see Ark for examples to avoid; base game is nightmare inducing)

I like the idea of powered walls and foundations. I think they should be a later unlock and have cable added to the cost so it would make more sense and buildings could get power directly from foundations
