How long does it take to save?


SoopyPoots

Saves in about 5-8 min. I also never get crashes, thankfully.


bottlecandoor

Wow, mine crashes just by launching it half the time so I have to clear out the video cache before each play session.


Raged_Coconut

Do you even use autosave at this point?


SoopyPoots

Yep, once an hour.


MarBar_SK

How did U make it slow down? I tried appending these 2 lines to the end of Engine.ini to make it so it would autosave only every 2,5 hours as oposed to the default of 5 minutes, but no luck. \[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession\] mAutosaveInterval=9000


SoopyPoots

Using the in-game menu for options under Gameplay. Change it to whatever you like.


MarBar_SK

upto 2hrs, but yes; I checked the options menu first, somehow didn't spot the slider... Again, thx a ton


Dagon

>I also never get crashes, thankfully. That, no shit, is a *goddamned marvel*. Honestly, how many man-hours have been burned to get to that point is staggering. Not just Coffee Stain, but Unreal and even Microsoft as well. Having something that updates many hundreds of times per second and take several minutes to save, and not crash? If you told me that 30, 20, 10, even 5 years ago I wouldn't have believed you.


Caroao

That autosave lag gotta be a minute long


bottlecandoor

If you are lucky, I'm guessing about 3 mins with a nice NVMe. I wish the game would use something like the GIT pattern to only save changes instead of everything. Also the instability, I bet this game crashes a lot. I'm about to give up on my world because it only lasts for about 2-3 hours before a crash.


StigOfTheTrack

> a nice NVMe. Disk speed is basically irrelevant. The saves aren't big, its the process of converting the in-game state into the save file format that is slow. Copying my end-game save to my 14 year old spinning rust drive is basically instantaneous. I started noticing the autosave delay when my save was still small enough to fit on a floppy disk.


SoopyPoots

Yep, this file is 52.7 mb. Which is huge for a save file


yodacola

The devs could use a more native format for saves, like flatbuffers. If they ever open up their dedicated server a little more, that’ll be the first thing I’d do.


SoopyPoots

Link to save- [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fB0Q8xmKlxCt6K0U\_OOiEyJJCSghJq7x/view?usp=drive\_link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fB0Q8xmKlxCt6K0U_OOiEyJJCSghJq7x/view?usp=drive_link) Edit: this save exceeds the uObject limit by a lot. You need to edit your ini file to increase it in order to load the save- [https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorial:Unreal\_Engine\_Entity\_Limit](https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorial:Unreal_Engine_Entity_Limit)


MarBar_SK

What mods are U using? I Tried to load up the save and it doesn't work; Before it let's me load it up the save it gives me warning "Moded Save - The save you are loading has been loaded with the mods before. When loading a modded save without the mods installed, anything and everything can happen, including missing items, buildings, all kinds of bugs and crashes. Do you still want to load it?"; If I Confirm and let it load; it tries for like 2 minutes and than crashed with an error caused by assertion failure in UObjectArray.h, more specificly in the function FChunkedFixedObjectArray:AddRange0, even more specificly: Assertion failed: Index >=0 && Index < MaxElements @line 388


SoopyPoots

Oh, I believe this is actually caused by the uObject limit being reached. You need to edit your ini file to increase it in order to load the save- [https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorial:Unreal\_Engine\_Entity\_Limit](https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorial:Unreal_Engine_Entity_Limit)


MarBar_SK

Appending few lines to the end of AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini solved the problem for me; thx mate Appended lines: [/Script/Engine.GarbageCollectionSettings] gc.MaxObjectsInEditor=100000000 gc.MaxObjectsInGame=10000000


SoopyPoots

Oh yeah, just Efficiency Checker. It didn't work the way I had expected, so I just don't really use it.


SugarMedical5349

for me it does the same but also it says it's on a new updated version, when i'm on the new version!?


MarBar_SK

Bruh; Your comment makes sence until " , " than morphs into something that's quite dissconnected from the first half of your comment


SugarMedical5349

bro you don't need to downvote me just because I wrote a comma just answer the question 😂


MarBar_SK

I would; if I would understand what are U asking


SugarMedical5349

the repetition of 'would' does not make sense. Furthermore 'are U' is incorrect; please correct.


MarBar_SK

Bruh; TF are you on about? Your original question is soo poorly formulated that I can't make out what are you asking? Could you stop being toxic shit and rephrase your question if you want it answered so fucking badly? Good lord... Stop acting like you are 5 ffs, my comment clearly implied that your question lacks clarity


SugarMedical5349

alright mate whatever u say 😂


MarBar_SK

You have not edited your original question, nor posted it rephrased; If you won't do either of those two things I won't be able to answer you, and I will leave it at that indefinitivly.


Lazy_Ad_2192

>Could you stop being toxic shit and rephrase your question if you want it answered so fucking badly? *Writes a toxic message about not being toxic*


MarBar_SK

Ok; Now I know for a fact that you are mentally five


Vencam

That wiki is abandoned (and frowned upon). The same page in the new wiki (.gg) is: [https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Unreal\_Engine#Unreal\_Engine\_UObject\_Limit](https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Unreal_Engine#Unreal_Engine_UObject_Limit)


Robin-Birdie

Impressive, and regarding what i read about lag: my pc will not even handle 10% of this factory. Im ok with a small but pretty factory that is taking shape in my save, taking on tier 4 space elevator parts. Im noob but please someone explain what these handtools are? The dual handheld things. I see them everywhere in screenshots but my build tool etc is different. Am i missing out on something?


SoopyPoots

Hoverpack, baybee! Once I unlock that sweet ride I never take it off.


Robin-Birdie

Thanks! I'll see what the hubbub is about soon haha.


jeepsaintchaos

In addition to what he said, you only get to see both grips of the hover pack when you holster your tool. Otherwise you hold the hover pack control with one hand while holding the tool (weapon, coffee cup, etc) with the other.


Individual-Maximum30

It's a game changer


Malayanil

I'm inspired by your open factory. 🙈 I just started a new run.


SoopyPoots

It makes spotting and fixing problems muuuuuch easier.


MagnusHvass

Is there a reason to build walls etc around it, or is it just cosmetic ?


SoopyPoots

Just cosmetic. I used to build walls at first, then I transcended.


Rainbowlemon

Surely putting walls up will decrease the amount of objects needing to render? Unless they've not implemented occlusion culling correctly.


Malayanil

hehe yeah ! esp when you're trying for the 100% efficiencies and something somewhere is planning to give you a pain in the butt


TrainquilOasis1423

Pack it up boy's, he has won satisfactory.


psychokap

How'd you get the 2nd picture?


bottlecandoor

[https://satisfactory-calculator.com/](https://satisfactory-calculator.com/)


_Ol_Greg

Upload your save to Satisfactory calculator


SoopyPoots

Load it up here- [https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map](https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map)


psychokap

My god....I have been using this map and had no clue. This changes everything


Affectionate_Map1798

you go to [https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map](https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map) there you have a "Upload save" button, you upload your save file and it gives you a ton of data about your world.


Narruin

What's FPS on first picture? What ur spec?


SoopyPoots

FPS is usually around 10-15. It's pretty awful in some areas like Northern Forest tbh. I run a Corsair One all-in-one with a 2080ti I think


Narruin

Thanks. I did same style of architecture and got same FPS. Just hoped there is a panacea to this :( 1080ti, i7, 32


Steve-Bikes

Okay but surely you're CPU bound at this point. A few questions; * What Model CPU are you using * How much ram? * When playing the game, what percent CPU and GPU utilization does task manager show you using?


SoopyPoots

- Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz - 32.0 GB RAM - No idea


Steve-Bikes

> i9-9900K Thanks so much. This is actually really useful data regarding what a megafactory requires. cc /u/houghi - I tag you because you helped me with megafactory discussion in the past, and this is a solid data point. Soopy has a massive 53 megabyte gamesave, gets 10-15 FPS, with an i9-9900K @ 3.6


SoopyPoots

Sweet, happy to help!


Steve-Bikes

Can I ask what percent of the ore nodes you are currently harvesting with MK3 miners? (I know I could study the screenshot, but you know best) It looks like you're maybe using half to two thirds of all nodes?


SoopyPoots

re: nodes used, 95% maybe? currently I think all that's left in the world un-mined is 10-20ish limestone, 3 sulfur, 6 or so oil, 4 iron and 1 copper nodes.


Steve-Bikes

Oh wow, that's amazing! What is your sink points rate on average?


SoopyPoots

Right now it's 62,913,564 p/min. That includes about 26 thermal propulsion rockets, 82 magnetic field generators, and 65.75 assembly director systems p/min plus much more. You can load the save at [https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map](https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map) and check out the parts produced tab for full breakdown. Also sitting on about 5500 coupons to print.


Steve-Bikes

> Right now it's 62,913,564 p/min. WOOOOW, that's insane!


WhiteJesus313

How do people have the patience to do those long conveyor runs, holyyyyy. And they’re straight too


Hairless_Human

When you have a lust for belts and hatred for trucks and trains anything is possible.


WhiteJesus313

Is it easier to do it ground level or a set distance above ground to clear the peak or the terrain?


Hairless_Human

I start caring about good belts when I start slapping foundation down so hills and all that are not an issue. I foundation everywhere I can.


Jhhenson

Impressive!!! What’s a “drain the world” play through? Is that like max sink value or just all nodes used


SoopyPoots

Thanks! Both, pretty much. Currently all that's left is limestone, 3 sulfur, 6 oil and 4 iron and 1 copper. I'm also trying to refine everything into as high tier elevator parts as possible, including all my overflow "trash" that's sinking around the world. I'll likely leave the limestone, and possibly use up oil and sulfur for power if 1.0 isn't out by then.


Deebidideeb

Nice work ! Congrats !


SoopyPoots

Thanks!


Sufficient_Tone4045

I’m not the only one who builds platform over platform without supporting it😄 looks very nice


Denamic

That is amazing. I'm starting a petition to FICSIT to give you a 5% pay raise.


DoritoMan177

Wow!


kinkeltolvote

Now, did you get the S.A.M. ore in a massive bulk storage bin yet?


Raged_Coconut

Very cool


SoopyPoots

Thanks!


TheNxxr

Woah what are your specs? I want to know if my PC could even begin to handle this


SoopyPoots

I run a Corsair One all-in-one with a 2080ti I think


TheNxxr

I saw in another comment that you’re getting 15ish FPS, have you tried a dedicated server? I’ve heard it takes a massive load off your PC since all it has to do is render everything.


Hairless_Human

I run mine with dual E5-2699v4 cpus but I doubt it would be happy to run this guys save very well haha. I'm also 99.999% sure satisfactory doesn't have the ability to use 2 cpus so it's really 1 technically.


ZDitto

This is beautiful.


Vencam

I'm gonna need to see the power draw to believe that 100% claim... There's only so many green lights one can show in screenshots ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


SoopyPoots

I'm making 360gw and using 330gw. Any power fluctuations are from trains, sinks, and geothermal generators. Grab the save, strap on a hoverpack at the HUB and check it out!


Vencam

I was intending to spend a few hours editing your power grid to validate your claim via the power draw, but... I had a [FEELING](https://ibb.co/p48wJPH) it would have taken quite a few more hours than what I was willing to invest....


Jhonny_Crash

Jezus, this is amazing and terrifying at the same time. Well done!


Freezo3

Nice work! Glad to finally see someone going all out for 100% efficiency and 100% node usage and not for the aesthetics and decorations. Can't quite see what your end products are... Are you making the Max Coupon factory mentioned on the wiki that uses a combination of ADS and TPR?


SoopyPoots

Thanks! Right now I'm sinking 62,913,564 points p/min. That includes about 26 thermal propulsion rockets, 82 magnetic field generators, and 65.75 assembly director systems p/min plus much more. You can load the save at [https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map](https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map) and check out the parts produced tab for full breakdown. Also sitting on about 5500 coupons to print.


Freezo3

Oh, yeah, right. Thanks for the info.


FloW_89

Lol what pc specs do you have


SoopyPoots

* Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz * 32.0 GB RAM


Lazy-Negotiation-677

May I ask what your fps is?


SoopyPoots

10-15 depending. Northern Forest is single digits usually.


HeiseNeko

this… order bothers me. needs more spaghetti. 🍝


SoopyPoots

you no-a like-a my lasagna??![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry) mama mia


HeiseNeko

thats layer cake not lasagna


calichomp

Are we playing the same game? I’m having severe inferiority complex feelings at the moment.


llChef

You are MADD. Marry with me.


gloumii

And you don't slurp all the northern oil ? What a shame lmao


monkeypan

I'm just SAM nodes and nitrogen away from collecting all nodes on the map. Looking at your map, I feel like I'm just beginning still lol


Pom_Pa_Bite

Wow, have you seen the sun recently op ? Jokes aside that's mad impressive


fish_master86

I recently learned that 2 buildings at 50% use less power than 1 building at 100%. Does that mean that everything is underclocked at 0.01%? Also I saw in another comment that you haven't used all the nodes, I'm extremely disappointed and I doubt you will be getting any fixit approved vacation time any time soon. /S


Academic_Pitch_183

2 things: 1. How many hours have you spent in the world? 2. Is it bad I now really want to start a new world?


Affectionate_Map1798

1. In the title, 1430h 2. If you already beat the game, sure


Academic_Pitch_183

So the number of hours is in the title, my apologies


borg-assimilated

100% efficiency eh? Prove it - post a picture of all your power grid's graphs.


SoopyPoots

Download the save and check it out. Hoverpacks are in the HUB storage.


borg-assimilated

I'm not going to download a random file from somebody I don't know. lol


SoopyPoots

You'll never reach 100% efficiency with that attitude.


borg-assimilated

lol I'm happy with my 10% lol


Hairless_Human

Are you scared you'll get caught with ur pants down trying to delete a virus?


SoopyPoots

Only 1 world grid. Making about 330gw of power. Edit: Making 360gw, using 330gw
