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.
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.
Verticality isn’t something you normally try for with Fuel Generators, and yet, here we are.
I’m happy to state that the original site’s power plant is now online and on track to running at maximum capacity. Why did I bother, though, when the Blue Crater’s power plant worked out just fine?
Yesterday an idea came to me. It was a tiny idea, but it involved spending a few minutes in the Blueprint Designer in Satisfactory. At the time, my Mk2 Blueprint Designer sat on a random square of floating foundation tiles a short jog away from my Hub space.
Then I thought, I can do better than this.
It’s been ages since I used those glass floors as roofing material. I’m quite pleased with how this turned out.(more…)
I took the week off from actual game progress, but not from the game entirely. Just, mostly.
Here’s a view of the (nearly) finished building from the back.
As previously stated, I intend to fully enclose as many completed factory buildings as I can stand to before I feel an overwhelming compulsion to do Literally Anything Else. This morning, as part of this project, I took on beautifying the Aluminum Works.
