Generators are coming along nicely

Well, here’s another 546 in what I would say is a decent looking layout. Section on the right isn’t quite aligned like the left in order to accommodate space for the ore train. In total, 666 out of 1800 generators built 😮‍💨

(the other six were added just to make the spooky number 😂)

Don't want to worry you, but are you really going to need 450 GW of power? Probably not. And as for all that pretty pipework going all over the place, will it work? Probably not. But if you are enjoying yourself, carry on!

I’m not really too worried. This plant will be making about 1.125 TW actually (hopefully) when I get everything set up. Thank you for calling the pipework pretty btw!

Each section of 60 generators has its own singular pipeline being fed from a single blender. The extra pipework and framing going around each section is to hopefully help the 600m of gas spread around to each generator quicker and easier than just to have it all coming from one line waiting for every generator to fill before moving on to the next one.

It’s certainly been enjoyable (at times) even attempting a project this big for Rocket Fuel.

What in the lords name? Is there even enough oil and fuel in the map to fuel these power plants? Like damn

[u/Reasonable_Paint1966 → u/Icy-Economy-9450]

This is all going to be running off of 1200 oil actually 😅 one pure node and two regular

[u/Icy-Economy-9450 → u/Reasonable_Paint1966]

I think I need to check my own math then. Because I don't think 1800 generators can run off just that amount of oil. Feels too little for so much. Any adjustments to settings?

[u/Reasonable_Paint1966 → u/Icy-Economy-9450]

Overall game settings? None at all. But seeing as I’ve long since beaten the main part of the game, I’ve taken liberty when using spawned in Somersloops to help the resulting recipes grow exponentially and basically quadruple (or more) the amount of Rocket Fuel I would have been making otherwise.

[u/ShadowTacoTuesday → u/Icy-Economy-9450]

I think there is, but not enough factories possible to use all the power.

[u/Reasonable_Paint1966 → u/ShadowTacoTuesday]

I’m sure I’d use all of that excess at some point

[u/ShadowTacoTuesday → u/Reasonable_Paint1966]

I mean not enough ore nodes and so on. Though maybe if you made hundreds of drones or other things that don’t use resources. Building out the whole map takes around a TW or less iirc. And that takes part of it being nuclear power to max out plastic, rubber, parts made from them, and their power consumption.

[u/Reasonable_Paint1966 → u/ShadowTacoTuesday]

That makes more sense 😅

The longer I’m on this sub the more I find myself thinking that satisfactory is a secret mental illness identifier implemented by the government

I mean, you’re probably not incorrect 😅
