The Caterium Branch in the MAM provides access to power and electronic technologies.
Upgrading Coal Power
This guide follows on from the Coal Power 101 guide, the focus here is about expanding coal power, in particular using overclocking and underclocking.
The message I hope to convey is by planning your coal power builds from the start, you can easily upgrade their power output with minimal effort.
Coal Power Tutorial
Coal power is the first time you use pipes to move fluids in the game. It is the simplest form of automated power (apart from Geothermal) however if you don't set it up correctly you can end up with power outage situations that can be frustrating to resolve.
Battery Factory
The Aeronautical Engineering milestone introduces the Battery production line. Batteries are primarily used by drones as their fuel source and hence why you need to create a battery factory.
Top 30 Best Ways To Make Fuel
This article is about the Top 30 Best Ways To Make Fuel! Actually, there's only two ways but there's many variants of those ways. The purpose of this video and is to tell a story about how much building is required for each process and how much power each process creates, there are pros and cons to each solution.
Pillars For Conveyor Belts
One of my favourite aesthetic techniques is using the Pillar Middle foundation piece for running conveyor belts and pipes.
Aluminum Production Line
Unlocking the Bauxite Refinement milestone in the Hub allows you to use Bauxite to create Alumina based products, the end goal being Alclad Aluminum Sheet.
Pioneer First Method
How many items per minute of "something" should I make? This is a question I get asked frequently and I respond by explaining my Pioneer First Method.
Spreadsheet Production Planning
I use a spreadsheet for planning my production lines in Satisfactory. I do this so I don't spend time during my streams doing maths and running around checking what machines are making what, I personally don't think it makes great viewing. However due to multiple viewer requests I did an impromptu crash course on how I use the spreadsheet and how it helps make decisions.
Train Fluid Platforms with Fluid Buffers
Train freight platforms will cease input/output operations when a load/unload operation occurs. This video shows how to use fluid buffers with train fluid platforms to ensure your production line will always receive fluid during load/unload operations.
Calculating Fluid Train Size
If you use trains to transport fluid then you are going to want to make sure the train can supply enough fluid to last the round trip. This video explains how to calculate this along with a working example.
Freight Car Targeting
Do you have a train station with freight platforms that are designated for different purposes? I'll show you how to configure a train to target specific platforms and ignore others.
