30+ Advanced Tips for Cleaner, Neater, Beautiful Factories [Satisfactory Game]

hello guys and welcome back to another satisfactory guide and today in response to your demands we have the encyclopedia of over 30 tips which were going to do hopefully in under 13 minutes for building super neat and beautiful factories in satisfactory update 3 so before we start if you do find this video helpful be sure to hit the thumbs up icon and don't forget to subscribe I also want to mention that this guide as well as others will also be posted on our website satisfactory tips calm when we launch it at the end of May this year so do check it out anyway we've got a lot to get through in the next 30 minutes and some of my favorite tips are right at the end so let's keep it short and jump right in so number one our first tip goes without saying but in case you don't know always build on foundations for both organization and expansion this is the only way to grow a big factory let alone keep it clean now when using conveyors try to stick to right angles as these looks super clean they're easy to do with the magic number to just place down a conveyor pole 2 steps from the next conveyor pole like so or you can use the mouse wheel to position the right turn in regards to both conveyors and wires where possible do not flip anything it's definitely easy to build a factory but if you want to have a clean Factory avoid clipping where possible for plan in advance where parts will be manufactured so they're near the required recipe is making logistics easier for example build a versatile framework factory near a steel factory or computers near a circuit board Factory tying into the last point reduce any extra items where possible use the highest tier conveyors having it one mark three belt is much cleaner looking than to mark twos and a mark one so keep everything up eight six using a single bus to transport items and then branch out to other places rather than lots of small buses or spaghetti conveyors to transport items trust me one bus looks much better also consider placing buses alongside roads and train tracks as they are the heart of your logistics why build a separate bus when you can run them all next door to each other it's just going to be much easier on this subject our eighth tip is to run rails alongside roads or have one above the other it's the same idea as the prior with buses our ninth tip is actually to integrate the last two points and why not have a rail running on top of a conveyor line which in itself is actually above a road it'll look super clean and intentional which is what you want with these factories you want them to look intentionally that way another popular one for me is feeding your structures from above or below it clears up the ground level making everything look clearer and cleaner out tying in to this last tip is don't settle for someone's I did work on it improve on it I often use manifold buses but check out this star that brain dog uses in his factories everything comes directly below the structure using conveyors and then gets fed back below it's really nice we also have capaco who we covered in fan Factory Friday the link is above he uses this beautiful style assembler setup that folds the output back on itself at 12 used walkways whether it's above the factory or alongside the the factory whilst it's being fed by an under fed system it looks great and it makes everything look cleaner also consider giving your factory a space of one or two foundations between factory sections it would just open up the space for yourself and make everything look cleaner and morale better yet we can compartmentalize them with walls in addition to this as it will allow us to keep items required in just one factory to one factory rather than tempting you to run a bus through the middle of it our fifteenth tip is to color coordinate areas or color coordinate piping you can do this on the foundations the walls or the structures but it will allow you to organize your area much better after all copper needing to get to the orange area is much easier to plot the logistics for then copper to that group of undesignated machines that somewhere in that group over there the next tip is to use glass foundations and curved foundations together to give your factory a cool-looking style look at this you can improve on this by actually making the curved foundations part of your factories resource bus which I use here tip number 17 use elements like glass walls or glass foundations moderately it's better to use them to accent parts of the factory draw the eye to there rather than to cover the whole Factory in glass plus it will save you a few frames as well moving on to cables cables all over the place are a quick way to make a factory look messy you don't want a web of cables I have a uniform approach to them place a power pole every two machines in the same spot along a line that's a beginner rule that's very useful now a nineteenth tip works on this further by placing poles on the walkways or even on top of splitters or mergers if it's the look you like of course but it'll be one less thing in the way of the factory floor tip number 20 as soon as you can upgrade power poles that means more cable points and less poles which means a nicer looking factory so upgrade them but even nicer-looking is tip number 21 purchase Wald power joints of the coupon shop and route them around your factory you can improve this by placing them opposite the structure power joint and have one for each structure now if these joints are at head height around the factory why not lift them up a few metres this is just going to make everything look cleaner because the less you see at head height the cleaner everything looks now we are going to return to the coupon shot shortly but whilst on the subject of power why not run the main grid underneath the factory using the bus that you're transporting items by of course the other option is to use train rails but inside one factory the bus method works just as well what's better than throwing cables not showing cables power structures from below or you can run the cables along the ceiling if you want and then bring them down now tip 24 returning to the coupon shop make use of all the new attachments walled conveyor joints are great and allow much tighter conveyor buses than the walled conveyors same with pipes not to mention all the things we've already covered such as the glass foundations the glass walls I could go on 25 consider building from one centralized storage location that way everything flows back to the center rather than building aimlessly outwards and then finding that you have to bring something back neatly to the factory tip number 26 pipes have two ways of being placed not everyone knows this so when you've got the pipe out hold down our and hover over the build option allowing you to choose what style of pipe look you want generally speaking I go for vertical twenty-seven pipes can look great underground using the methods we've already discussed but what about using the foundation frames give a great industrial look to the factory and definitely shouldn't be overlooked tip number 28 gives structures equal spacing a smelter per foundation or two foundations to a single assembler looks much better than them all crammed together that being said when building super compact factories think about how you're going to walk around it a clean well thought out Factory would have planned for you to be able to walk around the factory prior to cramming as much in as possible tip number 30 use alternate recipes to reduce the amount of resources you require in turn this will reduce the amount of structures and buses that you're going to need and moving on we have our bonus tips consider using mods mods that give you access to faster belts for example will reduce the amount you need same for mark two constructors if it doesn't break the game for you it could really add some cleaner options to your factory not to mention all the decoration alonzo which actually brings us on to the next one our final point is to find ways to use normal items in-game to accent your factory in clever waves use conveyors over gaps in the floor that you can't cover to make automated walkways or use wide doorways as supports for your factory get creative and it may just pay off so there you are guys over 30 tips to help make your factories look cleaner obviously you won't use all of them but hopefully a handful have helped you out now if you did find this video helpful be sure to hit the
