How to automate power with Coal | Satisfactory 1.0 Masterclass

A Satisfactory guide on how to progress & build efficiently, while still making optimal & great looking builds. Today: No more biofuel gathering with infinite Coal Power.

Satisfactory is a first-person open-world factory building game with a dash of exploration and combat. Play alone or with friends, explore an alien planet, create multi-story factories, and enter conveyor belt heaven!

Construct
Conquer nature by building massive factories across the land. Expand wherever and however you want. The planet is filled with valuable natural resources just waiting to be utilized. As an employee of FICSIT it’s your duty to make sure they come to good use.

Automate
Construct your factories with gracious perfection or build intricate webs of conveyor belts to supply all your needs. Automate trucks and trains to reach your faraway outposts and be sure to handle liquids properly by transporting them in pipes. It’s all about minimizing manual labour!

Explore & Exploit
Venture on expeditions to search for new materials and be sure to put everything to good use. Nature is yours to harvest! You have vehicles, jetpacks, jump pads and more at your disposal to make the exploration easier. Equip the proper safety gear as well, just in case you run into the local wildlife.

Please help me out by liking the video! If you want early access to new content, consider becoming a member.

Note: ALWAYS leave yourself plenty of room to expand. You can build up to 12 Coal generators now (and you should), but soon you can scale this up to 24 (or more) with very little effort. Plan accordingly if you want things to look organized!

15:00 Just underclock the two water extractors to 75%. Then they produce exactly the right amount of water and do it for less power per liter.

I personally play the game at a slow pace, and aside from the initial rush to get to coal power for the sake of automation, I am not concerned with pumping out vast quantities of of items and racing to get the ship parts launched, whether it takes it 2 or 20 hours to finish a phase is of no consequence to me. My advice to others who are new to the game and enjoy a similar play-style, use the "waiting time" of ship part production to do some exploring. Mercer spheres, Somersloops, and especially hard drives quickly become very important commodities. Hard drives unlock alternate recipes, which can be critical in creating production lines that can be more efficient, less resource intensive, and/or more suited to what resources you have available. The loot you get from crash sites is also much more valuable in the early game, allowing you to do MAM research with items that you can not otherwise create yourself yet.

Man, I'm loving this series, you have a new subscriber. Great job, and thanks for your work.

Good stuff. I am glad you mentioned about using Noodle piping. I also will use Horizontal to Vertical as I have never had a problem with those if used in the right way. But I have seen problems often with Auto and Auto2. Typical when using floor holes which I always do so there is that.

Solve my power issues!?
My dear TDA, this will fuel my ambitions until the power issues are even bigger.

Mobs agression is not a part of Advanced gsme settings, its in settings menu

I find the early coal plant fluctuations are usually the water taking forever to equalize, rather than the coal.

Some patience is required, either way :)

[russelllogan]

Appreciate the time and effort in putting this series together. I found this coal setup dead easy, with zero flow problems, unlike the 3:8 setups. I would like to see how it is expanded. Not sure if that is in a later video. Liked!

We are producing about 4 per min you just leave game running on over night =D

[Altaree]

Can you please add episode numbers to the title?

[breakdownmofo]

I struggle with balancing the coal. The first two coal generators have 100 coal spare but the last two have always max. 1 coal... how can I balance this out?

[brimstone]

Does coal have any other uses apart from power generation?
After watching your previous video, I discovered some coal nodes in land, then set up a few miners and a biomass burner, laying a conveyor belt all the way back to my base in readiness. Then... I watched this video 😔
I should have watched it first, now I know you also need water I will be copying your coal power plants.

[MXKAMAL]

this is really a master class from a master but hope you inclde bp as possible pls we would love to use these too

[shawnp]

Did you handcraft the reinforced plates and rotors?

[afacelessname]

I always build short walls as I have a habit of walking backwards over the edge.

[randylahey]

My brain won't allow me to build floating structures

[anarchy....]

i dont understand why the fauna isnt attacking you?, its all trying to end me, even the lil bee things

[aplhagar]

I like your videos TDA but i feel like a satisfactory masterclass is much less useful than like for example the dyson sphere program ones because of how the game has some very different playstylea

[truth_hearts_]

highly inefficient. do 3 in a row, could be facing each of 3 row. feed with manifold. profit
