  • Satisfactory: Diluted About It

    The Youtuber who goes by “TotalXclipse” posted a useful video recently about how to get 4x the generators out of a given amount of Crude Oil compared to using default recipes. Which is to say, normally your 300m3/min extracted oil ends up powering 10 Fuel-powered Generators. By adding a fair chunk of additional hardware (and unlocking two key alternate recipes) you can get that headcount up to 40 instead.

    Satisfactory video game screenshot: Aerial view of the Diluted Packaged Fuel power facility, from the Heavy Oil Residue refinery section to the Packaged Diluted Fuel creation/extraction section full of refineries and packagers, on to the water extractors providing the H2O to make the magic happen. Not shown: 40 generators being fed by all of this.
    This in-progress view shows the nearly-complete facility, it’s just missing the other fluid buffer and 20 more fuel generators. (The first 20 are mostly out of frame below the camera’s viewpoint.)

    So after years of playing this game and knowing that “everyone says” the Diluted Packaged Fuel alternate recipe is the key to great power (great responsibility is optional) and armed with a fresh how-to, I decided to give it a try.
