I’m back after a pretty long break! You might remember my oil rig from a few months ago.

The factory turns 1800 iron ore, 750 limestone and 1000m3 of water into 20 heavy modular frames every minute.

The long building is 50 iron refineries, and the tower is most of the rest.

anyways, here are some more photos of the outside:

The refinery building is pretty funky as you can see:

There is also a battery storage unit, an antenna and some concrete refinieries:

Here are some photos of the inside of the main building:

I am especially proud of the load balancers in the back that turn the various amounts of iron on each conveyor into 6 full ones and one partway full one.

While the materials are acquired on-site, this site is still connected to the rail network I showed in the last post.

Anyways, I learned quite a bit from this project, especially that I should plan interior decor ahead of time, instead of winging it.

Here is the map of my world, the pictured factory is at the top:

Tell me what you think!

    Looks amazing. I’ve played tons of factorio, only tried satisfactory once for a little bit before going back to F, but after this post, I might have to give it another try.

    I didn’t realize it could look so pretty…

      The key is conveyor belt placement mode, you gotta set it to straight. That, and foundations to have everything aligned and level.

      I’d suggest looking at some building tips videos on Youtube. Builds look tons better when you align things properly, and there are some handy tools in Satisfactory like grid snapping and nudging that can help with getting everything just right.

      Yeah, imo satisfactory has the ability to have both worse spaghetti and prettier factories. The world itself is also just very beautiful and full of detail, especially if you have a good enough computer to turn on all the fancy lighting and graphics settings.
