130 hours in, i have built a turbofuel-powered oil rig. (more pictures and details in description) (lemmy.zip)

Here are the basic photos of the rig:

This is the plastic and rubber manufacturing:

The residue from that goes into the turbofuel refineries:

some of it is packaged, the rest gets burned in 8 2x overclocked fuel generators for power:

But that's not all! I had to do quite a bit of infra to get the oil rig working, like:

Oil pipelines:

A train network:

(the last picture is the view from the tower i showed off in my last post here.)

and a compacted coal production building thing:

here are the details about the input/output:

inputs: outputs:
480 crude oil 205.5 plastic
165 coal 92 rubber
165 sulfur 45 packaged turbofuel
4000MW

all machines working at 100%, with 0 waste.

please ask if you have any questions.

EDIT: here is the map

Wow I fucking suck at this game

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's no wrong way to play the game at all :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And yet I still suck 😭 I was 150 hours in before i interacted with SAM

Satisfactory isn't about timing or how fast you do things, it's about having fun and coming up with interesting ways to solve problems. I personally like to maximize everything, so for me I like to calculate out what is the max output this node can give me, and I'll spend DAYS just building out that one factory. Other people like to just burn through and unlock things as fast as they can.

If you're goofing around right now, then have fun and remain efficient! But I hope you aren't seriously worried about not being "good" at satisfactory. There is no good or bad, just building a sick factory that destroys the planet. If you're having fun, (and by fun I mean it should also feel like work lol), then you're "good" at the game :)

And yet somehow, I still suck 😭

Very cool, thanks for all the pictures! I'm using the same oil nodes but everything is close to the same place. I assume completing this felt really.. satisfactory (🥁)

What's next?

[–] Blisterexe 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It did, i'm going to build a 18computers/minute with caterium and plastic from the rig

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

dang, I'm making 5/min and I called it a day for now. That's gonna be a problem for future me!

[–] Blisterexe 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well, really itll be making 9/min, ill just sloop it. Also iv'e finished it, juts gotta pipe the materials to it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Biiiiiig. Nice!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is an EXCELLENTLY-detailed build. Me, I have trouble coming up with interesting details for a build that don't some how derive from its functionality, but with this, there's just so much FLAVOR. You make it look very natural.

[–] Blisterexe 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank you so much! And here i was worried i hadnt done a good job because i hadnt been able to convincingly add a crane to it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Heh, I didn't even consider that. It doesn't feel missing, to me. Also, not sure how you'd make a proper one anyway, unless you're really good at beam sculpting.

[–] Blisterexe 2 points 2 weeks ago

You can use angled beams and powerlines for good effect in those scenarios

The math in this post was for this project btw.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

wow your handwriting is awfully similar to mine

[–] Blisterexe 2 points 2 weeks ago

So bad? Lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is this your first pay through? My math was always add more and then see which conveyor belt was emptied and increase proficiency of that lol

[–] Blisterexe 1 points 2 weeks ago

This is my second plathrough, my first playthrough ended while i was building a hmf factory.
