Just cant stop expanding my spaghetti’s

    My stages are:

    • Slow, inefficient and spaghetti factory but gets the job done, everything stuffed in a few boxes.
    • get output parts split randomly along belts to make the more complicated products
    • make a train, yay!
    • run out of power, aww…
    • bring out the spreadsheet, careful clocking and splitters to make “ideal” ratios of products to perfectly utilize maximum ore production
    • Get a healthy supply of smart splitters, use overflow and stop caring about perfect ratios.
    • retrieve products from “perfect” factories in spaghettified manner again to get the highest tier materials
    • remake the base with better ratios and better aesthetics.
    • sit back and realize you’ve spent 100 hours of your life on this, couldn’t be happier.

      I’ve got a similar set of stages but mine also include:

      Wondering if I should just restart at a new location, feeling intensifies when looking at the spagetti.

      Walking away looking for hard drives for three hours.

      Spending hours detailing a pipeline/belt system.

      Realising that the last extension of my factory wasn’t hooked to electricity/raw inputs, thus aggregating issues with previous stages.

      I highly recommend the Satisfactory Tools’ production planner, it makes it so much faster to figure out how much of what you need to achieve a particular result.

      It’s making going nuclear look actually reasonable, something I never managed to achieve in EA
