After being sick for most of a week and a half I’m back on the Satisfactory grind, and…

…no. I’m not doing this. I’m not building a factory on the scale of my previous Crystal Oscillators site in the middle of the Northern Forest biome. Maybe if we had the ability to explode parts of the map itself, I’d think about it. As it is? That’s too much terrain going on. I’d have to start building dozens of meters above the median base terrain (whatever value that might be) and… no.

But I want those raw materials, so I’m going to do something I have actually never done before: Shipping copper and iron ingots via railway.

I did, in fact, run a set of rails all along the entirety of the Northern Forest in my current solo Satisfactory save.

And a bit beyond. Kind of.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You’re gearing up to start a new factory project. In the process of making sure you have enough materials to achieve the desired output, it comes to light that not only is there not enough already produced but in order to meet the supply that your desired output demands, you’re going to have to engage in a large transportation infrastructure build-out to get everything from everywhere to the best possible build site. “If I had a nickel,” as the meme goes.

And that’s how I ended up, this weekend, embarking on yet another large rail-network expansion project.

If it seems like I’ve become obsessed with power, well, you might be right.

At least if you’re talking about electrical power generation in my current Satisfactory solo save.

Remember last week, when I was in the process of rebuilding one of my Rocket Fuel generator arrays with a new blueprint-based system?

Now that it’s complete, I’ve… improved the blueprint. Hey: It’ll be helpful at some point! (Possibly not until I start a new save, though.)
