Kind of a light recap because really, I only engaged in two kinds of activity this past week: Acquired resources for the nuclear power plant, and built train lines to haul some of those resources into place.
Absolutely riveting stuff, no?

Satisfactory: Getting The (Nuclear) Family Together
One of the few times when loading a bunch of radioactive material into a storage bin is acceptable: When it’s in a location I absolutely do not want to build a factory anywhere near. -
Satisfactory: Skytrain On Purpose
Normally I try to stay close to the ground when placing rail lines. My blueprint-based system already has some “that’s not how physics or engineering work” flavor to it and I don’t like exacerbating that element by running the track hundreds of meters above ground level.
What you can’t see through the purple haze is the bottomless pit I skirted the edges of. But sometimes, needs must.

Satisfactory: Trigon, Take Me Away
I’m choosing to look at the upsides, here.
As of midday today I make the parts required to place the fastest belts the game has to offer. (Once I can unlock them… 10,000 iron plates? Really, game?) For bonus points I would also like to note that I’m nearly finished making all of the Nuclear Pasta I’ll ever need in the entire game, at which point I’ll be able to repurpose that entire massive copper ingot setup from a couple weeks ago.
I’ll unlock those Mk6 belts eventually.

Satisfactory: Phase 4 The Easy Way
Last week I completed production on the second-to-last thing I need to make all four Phase 4 shipment products. This week I completed the actual facilities which are manufacturing all four Phase 4 shipment products. Just a few hours of work… if you don’t think too long or hard about the fact that I’m at 219 hours into this save and there’s about an hour to go before I pull the lever to send everything skyward.
Yes, one of my actual goals this save is to give myself a grand view from the balcony of the Hub’s platform. So far: So good. But I’m going to rest on my laurels for a moment anyway.

Satisfactory: Out Of Control (Rods)
With last week’s power plant completion I was nearly at the point of kicking off production of the various Phase 4 space elevator shipment parts.
Nearly.
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like Hub. The only remaining part not already in production was the modest but expensive Electromagnetic Control Rod. So, armed with a few key alternate recipes and the knowledge of exactly where I wanted to construct the factory, I set to work… after complicating the task by doing some math and making a big decision.
