00:00:00
hello guys and welcome back to another
00:00:02
beginners layout guide this time to
00:00:04
steal in the early game of satisfactory
00:00:07
and I really hope you find this one
00:00:09
useful because a few of you in the last
00:00:11
video said that though it was really
00:00:13
useful and you got what you needed out
00:00:15
of it you did find moments a little bit
00:00:17
too complicated and that wasn't helped
00:00:19
from it all being from a firstperson
00:00:21
point of view so that was my concern
00:00:24
from from the start and given that
00:00:26
feedback we are going to now trial doing
00:00:28
a twers set so we'll have a top down
00:00:31
view like this and I will also be
00:00:33
building on the floor as well so
00:00:35
hopefully we can flick between the two
00:00:38
to give you a better understanding of
00:00:40
the whole process and if you find this
00:00:42
easier please do let me know in the
00:00:44
comments below please give me this
00:00:45
feedback because we are going to be
00:00:47
doing next hopefully fingers crossed the
00:00:50
first episode of the guided playthrough
00:00:52
of the perfect Factory and so we're
00:00:55
going to break down everything about the
00:00:58
game through that and if you find this
00:01:00
particularly helpful then we will use
00:01:02
this system in that video as well but we
00:01:05
have four layouts that we're going to be
00:01:07
breaking down today this is one of them
00:01:09
this is the encased industrial beam
00:01:11
setup we'll be showing at the end but we
00:01:13
will get started with the other three
00:01:15
now starting off with the very basic one
00:01:18
so let's jump to it the first build that
00:01:22
we're going to do is really simple it's
00:01:25
going to be taking two foundaries and
00:01:28
we're going to produce from it steel
00:01:31
pipes and steel beams and you can set
00:01:33
this up straight away so the first thing
00:01:35
that you want is going to be to place
00:01:38
one Foundry and we're going to hold
00:01:40
control and immediately to the right of
00:01:43
this place another one this here is
00:01:46
going to have to receive the inputs of
00:01:49
your resources and this is going to use
00:01:51
90 iron ore and 90 coal per minute so
00:01:55
we're going to set the recipes so we
00:01:58
have steel ingots here here and steel
00:02:02
there again contrl c contrl v allows you
00:02:05
to copy and paste the recipes from here
00:02:08
we're going to be setting up our bus or
00:02:12
manifold I should say and we're going to
00:02:16
have one along the
00:02:19
top let's make sure that we've got our
00:02:22
conveyor splitter in our oh wait we
00:02:25
already have this is sub merger but
00:02:28
we're going to turn that to a split by
00:02:30
holding e or pressing e we're going to
00:02:32
place these directly on the top section
00:02:35
then below we'll place just in front of
00:02:39
the second inputs the second Splitters
00:02:43
of the manifold now the through line
00:02:49
needs to be at least a mark two because
00:02:51
this is
00:02:52
120 uh line and we have 90 items passing
00:02:57
through at any one point however the
00:03:00
conveyor or the elevator going into the
00:03:04
facility needs to be a mark one well can
00:03:08
be a mark one I should say so the idea
00:03:10
with this is that one of these will have
00:03:12
90 iron and the other one 90 coal so
00:03:17
imagine that coming from this direction
00:03:20
here okay so we have our foundaries here
00:03:23
each producing 45 steel ingots that's a
00:03:26
total of 90 ingots that we're producing
00:03:29
per minute now in front of the outputs
00:03:32
we are going to place two Constructors
00:03:34
so one in front of each one we're going
00:03:36
to place them about a foundation to a
00:03:40
foundation and a half in front of the
00:03:43
foundaries and you can see that these
00:03:44
are in line from the green output to Red
00:03:47
input line so make sure we do this on
00:03:50
both sides hold control so they're in
00:03:53
line here marked by that blue line and
00:03:57
from here we're going to select our
00:03:59
recipes the the first one is going to be
00:04:01
set to steel pipe and you can see this
00:04:04
requires 30 of the 45 steel ingots we
00:04:07
receiving here and we're going to also
00:04:11
have our steel beams that require 60 of
00:04:15
the 45 and fly enough the 15 extra from
00:04:18
this Foundry so to do this we are going
00:04:20
to have to do a little bit of load
00:04:22
balancing but this is one of the really
00:04:23
simple ones we're going to grab our
00:04:26
conveyor splitter and place that right
00:04:28
in front of the The Foundry that's
00:04:30
feeding the steel pipe Constructor and
00:04:34
then we're going to grab our merger and
00:04:36
we're going to place that directly in
00:04:38
front of the splitter behind the
00:04:42
Constructor here from here because we
00:04:44
have 45 ingots coming through to the
00:04:46
splitter we can split it three ways that
00:04:48
would mean 15 in each Direction and so
00:04:52
15 on this Bel 15 on the middle one
00:04:55
would mean that we have 30 heading into
00:04:58
our steel pipe Constructor
00:05:00
and then we'll have a third
00:05:04
output which takes 15
00:05:07
ingots to the other foundaries line and
00:05:11
this is going to our steel beam
00:05:13
Constructor so it's receiving the 60 and
00:05:16
producing 15 per minute so this is a
00:05:19
really simple facility to get started
00:05:22
with I highly recommend placing down
00:05:25
your containers in front of it and then
00:05:28
as soon as you can upgrade reading to
00:05:30
Mark I belts which you will need for the
00:05:32
next build speaking of this we should
00:05:36
also bear in mind that you can unlock
00:05:38
the dimensional storage and I do
00:05:41
recommend doing that for this because
00:05:43
you will be using steel pipes and steel
00:05:45
beams a lot in this phase but there you
00:05:49
are we're going to set this up now with
00:05:51
some resources so that you can see it
00:05:53
all running and hopefully you'll get an
00:05:55
idea thanks to our second person over
00:05:58
there as to how this all
00:06:09
runs so for our second layout it's super
00:06:13
simple we are just going to do what
00:06:15
we've done previously and we're going to
00:06:18
triple it so we're going to get rid of
00:06:20
the the storage that we've just built
00:06:23
we're going to take away the bus for now
00:06:26
and we can leave that there and all this
00:06:29
is is going to require a few little
00:06:31
adjustments to what we've got so far we
00:06:33
going to Triple this up so we're going
00:06:34
to place four more foundaries two to the
00:06:37
left and two to the right for this so
00:06:41
that it fits mostly within the
00:06:44
grid remember to hold control while
00:06:46
you're doing this just for ease and then
00:06:48
we're going to place our four extra
00:06:52
Constructors now with this one there is
00:06:55
the requirement you can't go straight to
00:06:59
this one or at least it won't run
00:07:01
efficiently if you do without unlocking
00:07:04
the tier three belts this is your first
00:07:07
step really into the uh faster tiers of
00:07:12
automation because it jumps your
00:07:15
throughput of belts from 120 with the
00:07:18
mark 2 to
00:07:21
270 but for that you are going to need
00:07:24
to have your steel beams already
00:07:27
produced so that you can unlock them
00:07:29
which is why why we did the smaller
00:07:30
setup first and I hope you found that
00:07:33
useful but we're now repeating
00:07:35
everything that we've done so far so
00:07:37
make sure that everything's in line like
00:07:39
so then we're going to connect them once
00:07:41
again with all the mark one belts and
00:07:45
you could do this as two separate lines
00:07:47
but I just find it much easier to set it
00:07:50
up like this personally so remember
00:07:53
we've got steel pipes in the first one
00:07:56
with the merger and the splitter and
00:07:59
then over here we're going to be doing
00:08:00
the steel beams now there are all
00:08:02
recipes that are much better for
00:08:05
producing items like steel beams and
00:08:07
steel pipes but we are basing this
00:08:10
tutorial off the vanilla recipes there
00:08:12
is also the perfect guided playthrough
00:08:14
I'm going to call a guided playthrough
00:08:16
but the idea is that we are going to go
00:08:18
through the whole build of everything
00:08:20
together and piece it all together
00:08:22
including all the logistics so that you
00:08:25
guys all get a good sense of
00:08:30
how the game runs and how to to piece
00:08:32
everything together so that you can
00:08:35
always refer to that if you need the
00:08:38
extra help I'm snapping everything to
00:08:41
the elevator belts here because it's so
00:08:44
much easier than setting up a dedicated
00:08:47
manifold above where you you snap the
00:08:50
elevators to Splitters it I much prefer
00:08:53
it these days and I highly recommend you
00:08:55
get into the the the swing of things
00:08:57
when it comes to using that so because
00:08:59
because we have three of each we've got
00:09:01
45 steel beam being produced per minute
00:09:04
and 60 steel pipes which means we can
00:09:06
run this with a mark one to our storage
00:09:11
just
00:09:14
like so next we are going to set this up
00:09:18
with the factory running just so that
00:09:21
you can get a feel for how it is you
00:09:22
know what I'm going to swap that round I
00:09:24
think it's going to be easier for us to
00:09:26
just run it using the Straight build
00:09:28
mode again if you're using the convey
00:09:30
straight uh different build modes you
00:09:32
can hold R to get the radial Arrow um
00:09:35
radial dial up straight allows you to do
00:09:38
90° angles with your conveyor bels but
00:09:41
not pipes but it works perfectly in this
00:09:44
circumstance so let's set up the
00:09:46
manifold the other end and guys please
00:09:48
let me know if you find this style of
00:09:50
guide a little bit easier so we're
00:09:52
getting a good mix of first person
00:09:55
building and then the overhead view as
00:09:58
it's being done as well
00:09:59
hopefully it's a little bit easier to
00:10:02
follow because I wasn't too happy with
00:10:04
what we had done with the iron setup the
00:10:08
other day at this point we are setting
00:10:10
up the manifold for the steel facility
00:10:14
and do remember that because this is
00:10:16
going to be taking
00:10:18
270 resources per minute that it is
00:10:21
going to require along the throughput
00:10:23
line which is the one going through the
00:10:26
manifold it will need to be a mark three
00:10:29
which means we have a throughput of
00:10:31
270 and then the conve that are
00:10:34
connecting these they only need to be
00:10:36
mark one again now just a heads up I am
00:10:38
flying very quickly with the advanced
00:10:41
game settings just so that I can quickly
00:10:45
fill these up now with a manifold items
00:10:48
split off sequentially and so the end of
00:10:52
the manifold will take longer to receive
00:10:54
the items that you need because it
00:10:56
prioritizes the ones in front at least
00:10:58
in initially and so providing you've set
00:11:01
everything up efficiently it will
00:11:03
eventually catch up uh with the
00:11:06
resources but you can warm them up just
00:11:09
by filling each of the buildables First
00:11:14
with the resources and that just
00:11:16
kickstarts the buffers because the
00:11:18
production buildings need to be filled
00:11:21
with resources before the items flow
00:11:24
through to the end one anyway let's see
00:11:27
it running and here you can see the
00:11:29
whole system running I highly recommend
00:11:31
doing this because steel pipes and steel
00:11:33
beams are really important in the early
00:11:36
mid game where it comes to building your
00:11:39
train lines and also those MK II belts
00:11:42
which will really help you start to
00:11:44
scale your system and get you prepped
00:11:46
for the markv belts which we'll be
00:11:47
covering with the encased industrial
00:11:49
beam setup which will be the one not
00:11:52
next not the next layout but the one
00:11:54
after that because the next one I want
00:11:56
to show you how you can build a really
00:11:59
smart clean Foundry setup that I do all
00:12:02
the time for my facilities just so that
00:12:05
if I need a lot of steel ingots in a
00:12:08
very short amount of time I can just set
00:12:10
one of them up and then I can distribute
00:12:12
the resources how I see fit so with this
00:12:15
running we're going to move over to the
00:12:17
next one now for this next one we are
00:12:19
doing my favorite way to process ingots
00:12:24
uh steel ingots that is and we're going
00:12:26
to find a location that is about halfway
00:12:30
let's bring it into here across a
00:12:32
foundation and it's going to be centered
00:12:34
on a foundation as well and we're going
00:12:36
to have the input the output sorry
00:12:38
facing the center we're going to place
00:12:41
two more directly after them next we're
00:12:44
going to find the same spot facing
00:12:47
inwards mirrored so we're looking at the
00:12:50
halfway point and we're going to place
00:12:52
three more in a line now I've done this
00:12:55
for many of my builds you can do this
00:12:57
much tighter but for this
00:12:59
um particular demonstration I thought it
00:13:02
would be best to give you a bit of space
00:13:03
so that you can see a little better
00:13:05
what's going on uh right now we are just
00:13:07
going to place mergers every time we see
00:13:11
that input line showing up and we should
00:13:14
have six of these now for this you are
00:13:18
going to have to have the tier three
00:13:19
belts unlocked and we're going to run
00:13:22
that tier three belt all the way through
00:13:26
this merger line and then we're going to
00:13:28
have our Mark ones going from the
00:13:31
outputs to the mergers and it should be
00:13:35
each line goes to an alternating merger
00:13:39
like so the idea of this is that all of
00:13:41
our steel ingots will run along this
00:13:44
main line and then you can distribute
00:13:46
them as you see fit but we are going to
00:13:48
also have to get our inputs for this
00:13:52
which is going to require 270 coal and
00:13:57
270 iron so for we're going to grab our
00:14:00
Splitters and I'm going to place these
00:14:02
three high above the merger and then
00:14:05
we're going to delete the first splitter
00:14:09
we're going to do this on top of all of
00:14:10
these and you'll see why in a minute
00:14:12
from here we need to connect them all up
00:14:13
with the Mark II belts again so we're
00:14:16
placing them in between you might be a
00:14:19
little bit tricky initially to get them
00:14:21
but I I promise you if you look between
00:14:23
them you should be able to get them in
00:14:27
between one another from here this
00:14:31
section is where we're going to get all
00:14:33
of our iron and all of our coal and
00:14:36
we're now going to add our Mark 1
00:14:39
elevators and they're all going to go
00:14:42
over this little Gap see this L-shaped
00:14:44
Foundry we just want the first elevator
00:14:47
over that little Gap and we're going to
00:14:49
do it on the other side as well um I
00:14:52
should mention I am using the no power
00:14:55
creative option with this build uh but
00:14:58
you will need to add power lines to
00:15:00
these if you're wondering why I'm
00:15:02
building for free and why I have
00:15:05
unlimited power that is why it's just
00:15:08
for the ease of doing this guide quickly
00:15:11
for you and hopefully not making another
00:15:14
25 30 minute one so you've just seen me
00:15:17
I should have mentioned the second uh
00:15:20
input is going to be facing above the
00:15:25
elevator that you just placed and it's
00:15:28
it's too two steps higher so this one's
00:15:30
its lowest stepping you can't get it any
00:15:33
lower without doing some crafty little
00:15:36
snapping Master workor which I'll talk
00:15:38
about in a future video but from here
00:15:40
you're going to go up not one but two it
00:15:43
has to go up two otherwise it's going to
00:15:45
clip through the elevator which you guys
00:15:48
might not be too keen on so do bear that
00:15:50
in mind we are using a mark one belt now
00:15:53
and all we're going to do is once you've
00:15:56
found the splitter you're going to click
00:15:59
on it and then you're going to run that
00:16:02
Mark one belt to the very
00:16:04
first uh elevator and then on the second
00:16:08
line above we're going to do the same
00:16:10
click on the splitter and then I've set
00:16:13
it to straight mode for ease we're going
00:16:15
to click on the second elevator we're
00:16:18
going to do this for each of them now
00:16:20
really quickly
00:16:22
[Applause]
00:16:25
[Music]
00:16:25
[Applause]
00:16:31
and now that that's done we should be
00:16:33
able to place down a container and have
00:16:38
our output line remember it needs to be
00:16:41
270 so you're getting quite a lot of
00:16:43
items there and we're going to do the
00:16:45
same with the input lines really quickly
00:16:48
here so we should be able to bring it to
00:16:51
oh actually we could probably do it like
00:16:53
this so the first one's going to be one
00:16:55
high the second two high one two and
00:17:00
then we're going to upgrade these to
00:17:02
Mark II if you're using a miner make
00:17:05
sure or any way of merging them make
00:17:07
sure that is Mark I if you're having
00:17:09
more than 60 or 120 items on the line
00:17:13
yeah look at that that is much easier
00:17:15
we're going to grab it and just place it
00:17:19
grab it just place it and there
00:17:22
everything should momentarily start to
00:17:25
turn on which my other character up
00:17:29
there should be able to see running and
00:17:32
there you are everything is starting to
00:17:34
turn on and you can see that is warming
00:17:36
up pretty quickly we still have to wait
00:17:39
a little bit for the whole manifold to
00:17:41
to fully do its job and fully saturate
00:17:43
but we're we're probably at about 70 to
00:17:45
80% capacity at the moment and that is
00:17:48
how you produce 270 steel ingots per
00:17:51
minute using a really uh clean setup
00:17:55
there's actually a blueprint that you
00:17:56
can do from this to fit it within the
00:17:58
four 4x4 grid and uh looks pretty sweet
00:18:01
anyway we're going to move on to encased
00:18:03
industrial beams now which is our final
00:18:06
layout for this and guys please let me
00:18:08
know if you find this top down View and
00:18:11
this first person um view really helpful
00:18:14
then we will do this in the guided
00:18:16
playthrough which I hope to release
00:18:19
later this week in fact I would love to
00:18:20
have it out this week moving on to our
00:18:23
final build we're going to set up our
00:18:25
encased industrial beams this is a fun
00:18:28
little one it's going to take 120 coal
00:18:31
per minute 120 iron ore so you are going
00:18:34
to need to use the mark 2 belts and it's
00:18:36
also going to be taking
00:18:38
180 Limestone per minute that's three
00:18:41
mark one belts or three normal nodes uh
00:18:46
worth of limestone on a a Mark 1 minor
00:18:50
so for this we are going to start off
00:18:52
with the three steel foundaries we're
00:18:54
going to set them all to steel ingots
00:18:57
remember copy crl c contrl v and then
00:19:01
from here we are going to just merge
00:19:04
this time all of our steel together
00:19:07
along one bus like so this does need to
00:19:11
be a mark 2 belt for the the throughput
00:19:14
line cuz it's going to have 120 Steel on
00:19:18
it however one thing I should mention is
00:19:20
that this Foundry is going to be
00:19:23
underclocked if you don't have
00:19:25
underclocking available you can still
00:19:27
use this it's just going to stop and
00:19:29
start um so it won't run as efficiently
00:19:32
as it we'd like it to but I highly
00:19:36
recommend unlocking underclocking or
00:19:39
overclocking so that you can underclock
00:19:41
as soon as you have these available or
00:19:43
if not sooner um so this is going to be
00:19:46
set to
00:19:48
66666 7 so that we're producing the 30
00:19:52
steel that we need per minute as you can
00:19:54
see there so 45 45 30 that's 120
00:19:59
and from here we are going to grab a
00:20:02
splitter we will place it just in front
00:20:05
why not we're going to push this back a
00:20:07
little bit cuz I'm worried I won't be
00:20:10
able to fit this in now remember this
00:20:12
does need to be a mark 2 belt that's
00:20:13
connecting these and from here we're
00:20:15
going to add our two Constructors going
00:20:18
to keep them extra tight these are going
00:20:21
to be producing the steel beams so
00:20:26
they're going to need mark one
00:20:28
connecting them and that will produce 30
00:20:31
steel beams per minute and next we need
00:20:33
to produce 60 concrete and so for that
00:20:36
we are going to place two Constructors
00:20:39
here and then on the other side we're
00:20:41
going to place our merger let's do it
00:20:45
just there and we're going to place our
00:20:48
other merger facing towards the steel
00:20:51
line just here and we're going to do two
00:20:54
from here we're going to also grab
00:20:57
another Constructor so so we need four
00:20:59
Constructors for the concrete so let's
00:21:01
set them to concrete and from here we're
00:21:03
going to grab our splitter and we're
00:21:07
going to fead it into here and with this
00:21:11
setup we have 60 60 60 we actually
00:21:14
need uh 90 on each line so the way that
00:21:18
we're going to arrange this is we're
00:21:20
going to place a splitter here and a
00:21:23
merger either side and we're going to
00:21:25
run the mark one belt and split it
00:21:28
between between those two and then on
00:21:29
the other side we're going to use now a
00:21:31
mark 2 belt and connect it to the first
00:21:36
from the first merger to the set of
00:21:39
Splitters here and the second one we're
00:21:41
going to have to move it across
00:21:42
originally I made this a little bit
00:21:44
cleaner but uh we we we don't have much
00:21:48
room in fact I'm pretty certain we're
00:21:50
going to have to expand this out anyway
00:21:52
but we're going to run this into this
00:21:54
Constructor line you can already hear
00:21:56
the constructors producing that concrete
00:21:59
and then from here we're going to place
00:22:03
two assemblers and they're going to be
00:22:07
oh we might just squeeze it in we might
00:22:10
just manage it it'll be tight but I
00:22:12
think we can do it we're going to place
00:22:13
it just here and just look at
00:22:17
that perfect from here we will add our
00:22:21
elevator in fact let's start with these
00:22:23
ones we we'll do it from here just to
00:22:25
make it a little bit easier for us so
00:22:27
we're adding our elevators feeding into
00:22:30
here and we're going to have our
00:22:31
Splitters going along to the top of the
00:22:35
grid these can be Mark ones as it's just
00:22:37
30 resources that we need so I'm going
00:22:40
to now connect the steel beam line to
00:22:44
the Splitters and we're going to add
00:22:47
another manifold and this is going to
00:22:49
take the concrete that we're producing
00:22:52
and run it into our assemblers now the
00:22:56
assemblers need to be set at well one at
00:22:59
100% and one at 66. 6666 7% or what you
00:23:05
can do instead is just set the output to
00:23:08
be five per minute on each one just to
00:23:10
make it easier and copy and paste and
00:23:14
that way they can be evenly distributed
00:23:16
and you don't have to worry about any
00:23:17
kind of balancing last but not least
00:23:19
connect them together we're also going
00:23:21
to add the manifold line here that we've
00:23:24
done previously and remember this is 20
00:23:29
so you're going to need Mark two belts
00:23:31
now this is going to take a little bit
00:23:33
of time to warm up but it should start
00:23:36
producing almost immediately and we're
00:23:38
just going to merge our encased
00:23:41
industrial beams into this line now it
00:23:44
is important to get encased industrial
00:23:46
beams set up as soon as you possibly can
00:23:49
because they are what are going to allow
00:23:51
you to run mark four belts and that's
00:23:55
where the game really starts to scale
00:23:58
so for me M 4 and the trains really
00:24:02
allows you to bring in a lot more
00:24:03
resources per minute to your factories
00:24:05
and allows you to build much larger
00:24:08
dedicated lines rather than these small
00:24:10
factories that we've been doing so far
00:24:12
we'll give it a few moments to turn on
00:24:14
now and uh see what it looks like from
00:24:16
above again let me know what you thought
00:24:18
of this guide if you like the new style
00:24:22
with the top down view alongside the
00:24:24
first person view let let us know
00:24:26
because we're going to be doing the
00:24:28
perfect guided playthrough to help you
00:24:30
guys learn and it might be really useful
00:24:32
to do a two-player system for that but
00:24:35
guys I hope you found this useful if you
00:24:37
did please let me know in the comments
00:24:39
below special thanks as always goes to
