Clean and Compact Constructor Build [Satisfactory Guide]

Hello guys and welcome to another series that I'm going to run alongside the super-efficient build guide. This series will focus on how to build clean factories.

In this guide, we will be covering how to build a clean and compact constructor layout for the 5x5 challenge.

Also, a written guide of this will be available on:

5x5 Challenge Rules:
- Everything you manufacture must be done on a single 5x5 grid.
- Power generators can be placed on a separate 10x10 grid.
- Hub, Space Elevator, Miners/Extractors and Vehicle depots/Train Stations can be placed outside the grid.

So if you do like these builds or find them helpful why not drop me a thumbs up and if you want to see this factory in action why not join me on twitch for our 5x5 build challenge on Wednesdays and Fridays from 6pm BST.

Your videos have been a great help and inspiration. While I love being as efficient as possible, I am always drawn to clean, visually appealing builds, even if it means sacrificing some potential output numbers.

Please continue with this, and the other efficiency build series.

Thank you, @TotalXclipse, for all your guidance and support!

The merging of walkways and glass make a delightfully clean looking factory.

I didn't know this 5x5 challenge was a thing. Surprisingly, I recently just found a nice 5x5 layout of the refined energy mod involving coal with the steam power, which was also super clean.

My factories are always a mess, this is great stuff, thanks!

Nice video friend. Appreciate the content as always. Under clocking might solve your ratio problem if you have the vertical space on your 5x5. Will jump in Friday to see what you’ve cooked up!

[LiLBitsDK]

hahaha Total so cute to see this ancient video :D lets builld glass foundations so we can see the items on the belts... oh lets also cover the glass with walkways :D

[Random_Gamer]

Very clean and compact indeed! Keep the content coming! Soon to hit 20K!!! Then You are 1/5 of the way to the magic number ;)

I've been doing a similar 5x5 for a while. Same general layout, but the constructors are spread out just a little from each other. Also, I bring the input down the center, and split it in the middle of the center tile, to another splitter between each pair of constructors. Lets me have a bit of verticality inside the room. I run the merge/output line at ground level.

I love seeing 5x5s for new ideas.

Curious how many refineries and manufacturers (respectively) can be squeezed into a 5x5.

[felixselwyn]

Love to see any ideas for building clean builds.

[shreyasgopal]

So clean. Awesome build! But in this case this is specific to a production chain that splits into 8 constructors right? Or you could oversaturate the line.

I see this as quite useful for something simple like screws and wire.

[TheCrogdor]

How did you record building the factory with the camera above the factory?

[StoneyK]

Can you squeeze this block of 8 into a 4x5 if you really want?

[nakilad]

Can an Awesome sink be placed outside the 5x5?

[dynamitemamoo]

where about did you build it on the map?

[felixbertoni]

Somehow I feel the urge to play satisfactory x) But I have too much work to do :'(

That said, using smart/programmable splitter, I'm pretty sure it is possible to keep a nearly perfect production ratio ^^

[shadowhound]

but that was only one layer? I was hoping to see a 5x5 tower that would make everything that you needed in satisfactory.
