20 Tips and Tricks in Satisfactory the Game Doesn't Tell you About

I've gathered together 20ish tips and tricks in Satisfactory that I feel are extremely useful to Satisfactory players. Sure some of these are pretty simple and a lot of you guys out there probably already know, but in my experience not everyone knows a lot of these including things that may seem basic to us everyday players. So I hope some of you out there get some sort of help out of this video. Also Did I miss a trick that you know of.. let me know here in the comments.

Another tip I've never seen someone mention, if you crouch you won't fall off an edge of a foundation, like in minecraft.

Just wanted to point out that you can place miners on top of 4m foundations. You usually have to remove at least one block to that you can physically see the node, then the miner will snap in place to the top of the 4m while you look at the node location.

You can enter formula when you configure your machines. Thus, in your example with assembler producing 5 motors per minute. Let's say you want for some unknown reason using three assemblers not one, underclocked to produce the same 5 motors per minute. You can just type 5/3 in each machine's clock settings.

If you use the calculator to figure out your machine settings, you don't even have to type in the result. You can just copy and paste the formula into your clock speed % or your items per min.

It’s very funny to me how the very first tip is something I have never discovered in my four+ years of playing this game, but the second tip was something I discovered in the first hour of my first save file ever. This game is so amazing in how it causes different people to play it different ways!

When you first started playing, it is unlikely that autocrafting on the bench was in game. This was put in in recent patches. I also used weighted items to craft when it first came out. Patch 4.0 is when autocrafting using spacebar was included.

Been playing this since like day one and literally placed my mobile on the space bar yesterday to hold it down, gentle tap here I come

Love that tip with the pillar and road barrier. So many spots where I want a catwalk to match up with one on the machine. As I start making blueprints for miners and such, that's going to be very useful.

21:00. It could also be pointed out that when you are adjusting output that is also a calculator. Say you know your input will be 30 ingots but want to spread those over 3 machines. You can input 30/3 and it gives you the result needed. Obviously few people would need that for such a basic calculation but we both know there are time it is far from basic. (7.5 stators and 7.5 rotors coming in, how many motors? Go out to get the N calculator or do the math right there.)

I spent 35 hours on my first serious world putting something heavy on my mouse cuz i didnt know about the space bar

One thing I love to do regarding the copy/paste tip, is for those with a mouse that has side buttons (e.g. I have a Corsair Nightsword), swap the hotkey commands of ctrl+c and ctrl+v to two of the side buttons. Makes for copy/pasting recipes even faster!

Day 1 of playing - I was about to put something on my space bar - you saved me the trouble :)

There actually were a couple of things I didn't know, thanks Phenixx!

I haven't played since Update 5. Learned a lot of new information. Thank you!

The thing with color was nice. Because I both want to try it out, but have mostly been too lazy to really do anything about it. But it seams like it have been made way easier and more convenient since it was added

I have played a lot of this and didn’t know literally any of these except for maybe the miner height adjusting by putting foundation under it

I usually use a resource bus, which is on the world grid. Normally, I have a smelter factory near my miner. I live with that the miner are not clean connected to it. More important is, that the bus, which is connected to the smelter factory, is on the world grid, so it is connected to my factories. If you want a more realist approach, use short routes of trucks between the smelter and the miner. Let the miner fill a storage near and let the trucks bring the resources from there to the smelter factory. Than bring the ingots with a central bus to your factories. You can connect additional smelter factories to the bus, to increase the amount transported.

The nudge feature got me gasping

Thank you for that! Learned quite a bit, despite playing Satisfactory for a long time!
