The save file, blueprints and production plan is now available. Check the description for the link. I plan on streaming the cosmetics and truck stations tomorrow.
Some factory patch notes
-UPDATED: I added some valves to the pipes to "guide" the water correctly into the factory. It was getting a bit backed up, but this fixed it.
-UPDATED: For the refineries, it seems my trick with the Mk3 belt on bottom and Mk4 belt on top might not work. It is true that the belt with higher volume will overflow first, but the "waterfall" method of feeding each overflow into the next line is messing with that priority. I've adjusted it so that each overflow splitter just feeds onto a seperate single line that goes into the container, and this is working. Will be shown in stream and updated in save file.
-FIXED: There were some Iron Rod machines not connected to power
-FIXED: A Reinforced Iron Plates output belt wasn't hooked up.
-FIXED: An elevator lift for the Iron Rods wasn't actually connected, but was placed facing the wrong direction.

That’s the most entertaining Manscaped ad I’ve ever seen on YouTube 😅 ❤😂

[mnxs]

"I need to go organise my storage containers." 😂😂😂

Best ad ever! You had me literally lol'ing, not easy! 😁

[xXSoul-ReaperXx]

41:36 I love the truck just getting airtime in the background

[SpikedVanlife]

that manscaping ad was unexpected and hilarious. I like the stacked machines look with the platforms better than other designs I've seen with pillared machines hanging above them without some sort of "platform" for it to sit on. You can also pause the first 2 or 3 machines once they reach 100 ore to get the last machines to fill up quicker.

The Manscaped ad is NEXT LEVEL 😂😂😂 I laughed so hard

[grobisam]

I wish we could like the video twice for the amount of efforts you put into each of these videos.

[yanlucas]

I was NOT expecting this Manscaped ad LOL. Man, youre the best

[Tom_McCall]

Hi Darren. You placed a merger at 1:08:07, but its output is facing the wrong way, meaning the conveyor lift going from bottom to top isn't connected. Hope you can find it. It's on the top floor near the two stacked containers for reinforced iron plates and rotors. Hope this helps.

You can use the SEARCH BAR as a CALCULATOR?!

EDIT: You can paste FORMULAS into the MACHINES?!

This game.

I absolutely hate copying people and not doing games blindly -

but I started watching you after getting deep into the game. and now it is fun to see your process, ideas and planning vs. how I approached the game blindly.

feels like this is an easy game to research and fall into the meta for- where as the real fun (for me) is discovery, mistakes and fixing + improving.

Don't let what people say effect what you want to do for a video! You make great content, and most of us here realize that. If you want to put a whole factory into 1 video, do it! Or if you like doing a general factory video and cosmetics on a stream later, do that!

Just wanted to tell you to do what you want, and don't let the comments drive it. I'd still think 63, 000 people, that have already watched the video, would watch it regardless the length of it! Keep up the great work.

[Destroyer-kiln]

I’m just getting into satisfactory and this game is wayyy more in depth then I thought and it’s actually amazes me how guys like this are genius’s like dude is making a genius factory from formulas and is making it peak efficiency. And the fact you can use the search as a in game calculator and then paste your formulas in aswell amazes me that the devs thought of that. I applaud this dude and his very satisfying factory.

[grimbostink]

Darren once again showing all other Satisfactory channels how it's done! Your tremendous work in every single video is never unappreciated. Thank you for being so dedicated to helping me finally reach mid game!

[maxortiz]

I love this game. I love how there’s a lot of right ways to set up your factories but no real “wrong” way. Even spaghetti hell is still technically an acceptable way to complete the game. My factory looks completely different from yours and I use different conveyer balancing techniques, architecture/building techniques, and recipes, but I really love your approach! Personally, I put in the extra effort to make sure all my world resources are fed into one gigantic mega factory via a network of world spanning trains, belts, and roads, but that’s just what I felt like doing. When I scrap my factory and start again, it never looks the same, but I always try to make an effort to put in a more aesthetically pleasing touch. I’d say the only thing that’d irk me about your factory was the conveyer belts on the floor, I’d lift those up more because I don’t love constantly having to jump over belts, but that smart splitter technique for balancing belt loads is something I’m gonna have to try out. Amazing video

[TRPLD]

I think it would look really cool if you'd build some kind of glass and steel encasing for all the open belts. Really love the factory with the colors, it is refreshing to have a bit of more color variation every once in a while! Keep up the great work!

[TheBongMedic]

I just wait and check every now and then whether you uploaded a new video or not...I never watch such full videos but I just love to watch your videos...just addicted to them.. Thank you so much for your hard work.

[girlskylark]

I’ve been struggling to find satisfactory content that helps my beginner ass level up AND THIS HAS BEEN IT. It’s gotten me so excited to explore future tiers (currently Tier 4 going on 5, never been higher) This video is so instructional even if you don’t mean it to be lol I’ve learned so much. Thank you!

[Mgsgenesis]

This looks great, like the way you colour the foundations based on whats going there,
Little things like that help alot i find

[moxzy]

You do a level of planning and forethought I could never imagine doing. specially with being so precise in the belt work. that is actually just insane
