13 Need To Use Build Tips For Satisfactory Update 8

here's 13 build tips for building better designed factories in update 8 now this will cover some new tips thanks to some update 8 changes as well as some key older tips that are still beneficial to know whether you're new to the game or a seasoned Pro so if you do find that you learned something new in this video please do hit the thumbs up and if you do have any uh tips that yourself would like to share with the community do let us know in the comments below as well also I do want to say a huge thank you to today's sponsor which is War Thunder but we'll be talking more on that later now in Update 7 we received the blueprint designer this is allowing us to easily copy and paste designs and more often than not every Factory will benefit from using a few blueprints for example you can create modules that snap together to create working factories or build complex or repetitive Decor pieces to be used for the facade of your factories now even having a Refinery blueprint or 4x4 Foundation grid can be a great way to build factories fast do use them and if you're looking at specific blueprint designs for your factories you can also check out my video on must have blueprints in satisfactory I'll put a link in the description below to that now one big change in update 8 to blueprints specifically is the ability to lock and nudge in now smaller intervals These Blueprints so to do this lock the blueprint in place by pressing H and then you can nudge it using the arrow keys however now we have the ability to nudge it in smaller increments by holding control whilst the the blueprint is locked and then using the nudge arrow keys now most of these items can be nudged Left Right forwards and back but I do hope coffee stain plan for a vertical nudge option soon as well now possibly the biggest game change in update 8 other than Lumen which we will talk about shortly is the ability to delete whole blueprints in a single click to do this select the delete tool and cycle to the blueprint dismantle option by pressing R this allows you to dismantle whole blueprints in a single click which is great for rebuilding moduled designed factories or you can just go to the normal single delete and you can delete whatever you want and create variations to your moduled blueprints if you're going for a particular look or theme in your build you should also categorize your blueprints this is because you can use the radial dial holding E when you have a blueprint open this will allow you to cycle through the different blueprints in that category and consider categories for foundations or factory lines load balances and decorational pieces I have a so category that is just for light designs which has proven particularly fruitful with Lumin this can be very beneficial When You're Building because it makes it so much quicker to build and select different blueprints speaking of lighting you can now rotate signs directly on walls this can be great for producing various lighting designs but if you want to skip using copy and paste for lighting on signs you can actually create a blueprint to save time when it comes to placing your signs and lighting them up because they'll already have the lighting option selected now Lumin is a huge change to the game and can really make your stand out if you're using it but before we talk about that and whilst we wait for update 1.0 why not check out War Thunder today's sponsor it's the most comprehensive vehicle combat game ever made with over 2,000 tanks planes helicopters and ships spanning over 100 Years of

of Lumin now Lumin can make or break any Factory if you're choosing to use it in satisfactory it truly levels up the Aesthetics but it can require a lot of work because everything is so dark that being said if you go inside factories you'll notice there's this white fog so I highly recommend if you're building within a factory you use the command line r. fog space 0 then press enter uh and you can open this with the tilder key for those of you who don't know this gives you the truest lighting to work with within your factory and you'll also find that now you'll need to use a lot of signs and lights to lighten up an area but one thing you should also consider is the use of Shadows so do use buildables such as beams to block out light as this can be a great way to create depth using those Shadows to your advantage now signs don't have to be exclusively used for light either or signs for that matter they can also be used as walls whether lit up or colored I personally like to snap other walls into these to create some really interesting angles something that just gives your your factories a little bit of chef's kiss to it there are also two different options where when it comes to signs you can either use matte or glass texture now matte can work well for walls but if you're wanting a shiny reflective sign do use gloss as it can really make your builds pop also don't feel the need to use a particular color rather than using signs as Lights by turning up the emission you can choose to leave the emission on zero and keep the sign black black and glossy to create a Sleek looking wall texture now whenever we talk about building in satisfactory it pays to remember that there is a world grid it surprises me how many people don't realize this still you can activate it while placing a foundation on the World by holding control just remember to use 2 m or 4 M deep foundations as 1 M foundations will not be the same height offset as the 2 m and 4 M foundations though with a little bit of experience you can blend the different heights together quite easily now did you know that along with snapping some items there are also so ways to have infinite placement points in satisfactory thankfully it's been made much easier with the use of pillars placing them down horizontally you can place items such as walls on them without any snapping points this is great for blending walls and complex shapes together zup also came in update 5 it's a placement option which allows you to place up to 10 items such as foundations or walls At Once by clicking and then dragging them just press r with those items to engage in zo mode and now we just need sign zoing in my opinion barriers are probably the most versatile buildables in the game though and I've mentioned this a lot but you can use them to snap foundations to them or replace with the Walls by holding a control whil you have a wall placed on top of them this allows for easy freedom of building without needing to place down your pillars which can be a little bit more time consuming and the second most versa vertile item in the game I would argue are beams place these down and you can snap pillars to them to create diagonally placed building blocks alternatively use them as beams to create more depth in your builds or use them to block out light as I mentioned earlier so what do you think guys those are my 13 need to know tips in update 8 to help you build better and satisfactory whether that's faster placement better designs or just better looking factories now if you did enjoy this video please do
