About: Satisfactory

Satisfactory is a first-person open-world factory building game with a dash of exploration and combat. Pioneering for FICSIT Incorporated means charting and exploiting an alien planet, battling alien lifeforms, creating multi-story factories, entering conveyor belt heaven, automating vehicles, and researching new technologies.
This Factorio like game has heavy automation, with automated mining, crafting, and you can even automate movement!

Top down + 1st person is an excellent mix. Really helps put the build into perspective
😄

The top-down view with the numbered grid is excellent, definitely make use of it going forward.

1600 hours in Satisfactory and I just discovered through this video that you can snap splitters directly onto lifts. I've been placing lifts, putting 3 splitters vertically to get the right position, then deleting and remaking the lifts

I love this game and its community haha

[bagel_deficient]

The overhead view is both extremely helpful, and pleasing to watch.

[idkidkk]

Hey, just wanted to say this format is sooo good and informative for all viewers. Having you to take time to explain both on first person view and top person view on one video is the best of both worlds. I also appreciate the time stamps you added for future use. Please keep it up and thank you for taking your time to produce and excellent up to date layout guides for satisfactory game. Side note: I've been watching other videos from other YouTubers. Your new format direction is what we need in YouTube right now.

[TheBoothy]

I did a slight variation on the steel ingot layout, if you move the foundries out just one step, to give yourself slightly more room in the centre, you can reduce the number of splitters and mergers by half, as you can place the merger at the midpoint between the apposing foundry outputs (so resulting in a curved belt from output to merger), with the splitters above as per your design. So just 3 mergers, and 6 splitters total. The lifts remain the same, and placing the input belts in straight mode, from lift to splitter curves around the foundry with no visible clipping. This also removes the slightly fiddly belt placement between the really close mergers/splitters. This adjusted layout still fits in a 4x4 blueprint.

[GokaiGoblin]

Might be a PITA but having a small window showing the top-down at the same time as the First Person view would improve this idea.

That way, you're getting both perspectives in sync and real-time to help give a better mixed perspective.

Beyond that, these look possible to compress and make them into blueprints... am I wrong? I'm not sure how big the Mk3 blueprint grid is 🤔

[TekJunkie]

As a new player, I really appreciate the attention to detail in these guides. The two player system is nice but just giving a top down view at the end is also enough. I find that the long form step by step instructions are the most important parts of the guide, along with any small detail that could be given, such as the flow rates and which version of the item is being used, which you have a pretty good job at so far! Kudos to you, good sir!

[DavidThompson-em]

I'm 70 love Satisfactory. Steel Production for dummies, Brilliant, just what I needed.

[waynejohnson]

I really like these kind of videos. I feel a bit lost sometimes and this helps me find a good order again.
One additional idea: Add the underclocking/overclocking percentage on the overview screen if applicable. I usually watch the videos before and when I want to rebuild them the overview is usually good enough but if there is underclocking in it I have to skip through all parts to find them. Not a big issues though.

[GaaraMeepo]

Today I learned you can set the underclock by output items! I thought it was just the % or slider you could use. Very useful tip.

[dragonblk]

I agree. Especially the top down view helps a lot. The 1st person view shows the details. Really good!

[mpmusicbox]

Thank you learned a lot from this video. The top down view makes it a lot easier to understand how it works

[ithreymesh]

This style is by far the best way I have seen explaining setups

[indoorjetpacks]

the topdown view is absolutely helpful to see. helps with putting down a lookout tower and just checking that things are close to aligned, but the mix is great, def also keep the first person perspective too

[Unmannedperson]

11:20: One tip I use for starting up a manifold factory is to bring each section online as you go. That way, the foundries/smelters fill up while you're building constructors, which fill up while you're building assemblers, etc. Once a building's downstream conveyor fills up, then the building fills up, which then idles the building so that further copies of that building down the manifold line get priority for materials. By the time the next section is up and running, what you've built already is saturated.

Just in contrast to say, building the whole factory then "flipping on the switch" to everything all at once.

[koolkevin]

Bought this over a year ago, just starting it in the next day or two (I know, slow as I always was!) The mix of both views is greatly helpful to both see it on the numbered grid and first person to make sense of the fitment of how it should look as we build it.
Thank you for doing it this way, it is IMO, the way to go!

[cobster]

in the previous video i was scrolling to the end of each build for the top view, building all i could see then going back to see the 1st person for the details :) so this is a perfect match :)

[Psykout]

Nailed the viewpoints on this. Extreme amount of clarity for newcomers. Keep it up.

[scottdowling]

Just hit the steel phase last night. What perfect timing 👌🏻 keep the massively helpful videos comming!!
