Some bookmarks to the different parts of the build:

Something I've noticed a lot of people starting out don't realize... they know to look at the purity of a node, but don't know that the bit on top of some nodes that you have to clear off is ALWAYS pure. If you're checking purity, make sure it's really the node you're looking at.

Beginner here. After watching part 1 and implementing it in my world, I tried my hand at building the factory lines you show here on my own. And man, it works, but yours look so much cleaner and use much less space. The first video helped me get in the right mindset for this game as well, so thanks for that.

[pastafizoolbysimon]

I was happy after your first tutorial and therefore came back to watch this second part.

Clearly understood and followed tips to run a basic parts factory and continued to make the assembler.. ran into problems and came here to watch this, expecting I'll understand things and continue in my game.

But now, watching this, my brain has exploded and it's 1.30am. So imma go sleep.

[Slick_Echo]

Hey, just getting heavily into this game and noticed on your rotor setup you put the 25 rods going to the wrong machine. Had the issue myself, accidentally put the 5 off of the middle splitter to the line going to the assembler instead of the screw makers. Just have to switch that line for anyone else who is having that problem.

[NightIceWolf]

TotalXclipse is really good at explaining all of this stuff. Another great Satisfactory youtuber is Scalti. He does really efficient build guides that are multi-storied and great to look at. ImKibitz is another great Satisfactory youtuber and he is more known for his massive bases/builds and let's play series. I learned so much from watching those 3 and implemented many of their ideas or builds into my own worlds.

[ManOfTheWildWoods]

In the rotor and smart playing you have some of the lines crossed. For the rotor you have too many rods feeding into the assembler (25) and too little into the screw production (20). The smart plating had the screw lines for the two assemblers switches, however when drawing out the schematic myself it looks correct. Regardless thank you for putting this together

[Bill-rbki]

Had two issues with the .sav file.

- All of the iron miners in the back were unpowered, had to run a cable over to the far corner of the factory.

- The smart plate smart splitter was sending everything to the overflow (middle) regardless of programming changes. I had to delete it and rebuild it with the same parameters.


Otherwise, phenomenal help and great ideas for me.

I recently got this game and my factories are so inefficient because I was just winging it. These guides have been so helpful for fixing up my garbage factories. Thank you!

[problemchild]

just a tip for anyone following this and having power issues, once you have enough tickets to unlock what you need, cut the power to the sink. by having it running the way he set it up ALL your machines never go into standby because you never saturate your belts. if you cut the power to the sink the belts will saturate and the machines producing like iron rods, screws, etc will shutdown and go into standby and stop using power until you pull items out of the storages which they will kick in long enough to refill it and go back into standby. Biomass burners only burn fuel if they *need* to (unlike coal and fuel that burn it 24/7). The devs designed them this way so that your able to make your parts and not burn as much fuel. Having the sink from the very start is nice for addons, but not recommended to be ran 24/7. if machines can go into standby and not draw power, you will consume fuel at a much slower rate.

[kingkhalagar]

Around 16 minutes he skipped showing how to hook the iron line up to the constructors. For those confused, just make a mainfold by bringing the iron line forward into a splitter that goes to both

[donworth]

I have REALLY been enjoying your videos of the perfect factory! They have helped me a lot in learning all the ins and outs of Satisfactory and factory building. Thank you!!! I got to the end of the smart plating and ran into the problem with the swapped rod feeds and spent a couple of hours trying to figure it out and finally did. Then I thought to come look at these comments and it seems lots of people picked up on it too. But I'm thankful for the challenge because it taught me how to troubleshoot the feed balances. You should just say it was intentional as a learning exercise for your newbie viewers! 🙂

[Bannedchan]

One thing i learned from this, using floor holes to go directly to machines on next floor. I had been using lines of Conveyor Walls to send materials up the outside. Looks cool but can get messy 😅

[Altekk]

Just got the game at christmas, have watched so many of your guides over the last few days and they have been extremely useful. Thankyou so much. Subbed!

[ndshiftgaming]

I just realized that's actually where I built my whole ficsmas factory. Great starter guide.

[stockluke]

I love this series as it's a clean build are /relatively/ efficient. In case of future versions of this series, the power requirement exceeds 8 Biomass Burners. I'd recommend covering Copper Sheets coal power prior to Smart Plating. This is a great 3 part series, love to see what other quality content you have to offer!

[jockel]

Dear TotalXclipse, your tutorials and architecting are awsome! I have already incorporated many ideas from you into my factory. Thanks for your work and please keep making great videos

[JulianSloman]

Note for underclocking that if you're not afraid of doing lots of small calculations (and care about petty energy savings) it's probably more effective to spread out the overclocking evenly. If you have one manufacteurer at 100 and one at 50 you could instead have two at 75 and due to the exponential nature of energy cost that would be _slightly_ more effective.

[Putrefax]

so at 16:30 i'm not sure how you balance the output from that remaining Smelter into the screws and rods line. You've got that one producing 21/min ingots, and 2 Constructors needing an uneven 1:2 split but not a lot of space to put it in.
