EMBRACE VERTICALITY on a single floor in Satisfactory!

bad plays games Hello Pioneers I hope you're well my name is bed and this is the satisfactory design Solutions show the show where we try to get better at building factories and satisfactory today we're inside the black box which I'm going to use to build blueprints while blocking out other external stimuli uh mostly so I don't get distracted at the very beginning of our fixed career we're told to embrace verticality now I've always has assumed and I presume everybody else has too that they're referring to building additional floors building up towards the sky putting some walls down maybe some stairs a new floor more machines a new floor more machines what I've been considering lately is a methodology of using verticality on a single floor for the purposes of making design cleaner easier to build and easier to connect our machines up if you've watched my other satisfactory plus videos you know when I'm building I like to already elevate my machines I think it's pretty cool to have them on a stand and just be a focus of a build my new idea however was inspired actually by the game itself if you take uh something like a ramp and you put an assembler partially on it it builds itself these little stilts I couldn't figure out how to get it lifted up as high as I thought would be really cool so a friend of mine suggested just build it up as high as I want and put it on stilts maybe even using like painted beams so that's going to form the basis of my idea so let's give ourselves four 4 meter foundations to work with I like this it's nice and high up off the ground while still leaving enough room up above to do some design work okay so now let's put an assembler down doesn't really matter where but uh that looks good for the purposes of what we're doing here all right now I want to delete that so we can see our machine I love it a really cool feature of what we're going to be doing is that we're going to be able to run in line one set of belts that is to say we can have the inputs and outputs all going the same direction there now we've got our floating machine which looks kind of silly so let's just give it some stilts for this I'm choosing to use painted beams but you could use the steel ones if you'd like so I think I'm right I'm right below where I want this still yeah I'm right below where I want it so let's get out of the way and go up there Perfect all right let's do it again right here right there okay we'll do this on all four sides well there the machine looks kind of supported now which is a plus now let's talk about belt work now there's a few different ways we're going to be able to handle the next step which is belting and I'm going to show you one and then show you an alternative and you'll have to make up your mind which you like best I'm going to show you the two different ways that I've tried doing this and why I think one is superior this is sort of an arbitrary choice but I'm just going to pretend in my mind that the items are going to be flowing in the direction that we're facing right now which means the left input is going to be the first Port that needs to be split off from so let's do it let's start splitting the lines okay so first let's take a conveyor Mark 3 and drop it down and face it into the center now if the items are going from the left to the right this is going to be the first Port it hits and then it will hit the output Port which is in the center and then it'll hit the right input Port so this is the first one and the second Port is this one and we're going to go down and we have to go down two additional clicks Additionally you can go down four or you can go down six but don't go down an odd number because then it won't line up straight with Splitters and mergers easily so we'll go down one two 3 4 just so we can spread out a little bit for illustration purposes you can make this as small and compact as you'd like uh basically limited by how much clipping you're willing to stomach all right the last part's right here we're going to go down one two 3 four five six 7 eight perfect so there's our first input port and we're going to need to just choose where the items are going to come in meaning kind of in this left or right direction here I'm just going to choose the center cuz I that's what I would normally do so let's take a splitter and split that's perfect right there so we're going to put the Splitters up here and then we're going to pretend the items are coming from this direction and and now we'll split that off perfectly straight for the next one we're going to need mergers and we're going to want the flow to go yes to the left there okay so now we can get rid of all of those and all of these while the output will be merged now yeah okay and now next we're going to have it go right up here and this needs to be a splitter coming from that direction again there let's get rid of all of these there so now we've got our first input port on the top the output in the middle and the second input port on the bottom and that's kind of it that's kind of the whole idea this is the blueprint we're going to TCH touch it up just a little bit but this way you can just plop this down connect your belt so if you put these in line you can just have a straight line of the input belt going down here the output in the middle and then the second input on the top and I'll show you that in action just a minute but let's decorate it just a little bit so I'm going to put some painted beam feet on it just like this so it looks like it's got a little bit of a stand for satisfactory design Solutions I can fly but when I'm normally playing the game I can't fly so I'd like an easy way to get up and set the recipe so for that I'm going to use a ladder I don't use the ladders very much in the game so this seems like a perfect reason to try them out perfect now these little stilt legs look a little scrawny so what I'm going to do is give them a little bit more life so one way I like to do that is by building cross supports like this and the same on the other side and I think this turns out pretty cool I do go to the 9.48 6 9.48 6 there just like that additionally I like to have another support down here at the kind of the bottom there and have a support kind of like that and I think that makes it look really kind of sturdy and here I'd probably even do another horizontal one this way just like just like that there so that looks nice and supported nothing's clipping now when it comes to power I'm going to want to be able to chain these together so what I like to do is put the wall mounted power outlet right on the frame and I put it right there personally so it doesn't clip anything looks kind of cool and then I would Loop it around just like that remember the items are going to be flowing in the direction that we're facing right now which means you're going to be pasting a couple of These Blueprints in line this direction and so to stop the clipping we're going to put the outlet on this side so we can just connect them together now let's give them machine a pretty color I kind of like this bluebe a little darker yeah I like that now let's paint it up then maybe even paint the feet black just for some contrast and there we have it our first blueprint is done we have an elevated assembler that we're going to be able to chain together and built up really easily let's save it and then we'll go use it see how easy it is here we are on our new testing platform let's give it a whirl elevated assembler all right you can see the direction is okay going forward I'm just going to put it uh the bottom left foot right there right on that intersection all right and let's emulate making encased industrial beams so just kind of give them a little bit of space we got so much room in this game might as well spread out when we can all right all right let's see how many machines we're going to need so we're going to do encased industrial beams let's just say we have 120 Belt Line of concrete so we can run four sets of these for 24 in case industrial beams per minute so let's add one more all right now let's set the recipe and there we have it there's our four machines all right so now we got to hook all the machines up I mentioned earlier I was going to show you a few variations one of the variations I like to do is to have these instead of four apart just two and have them all in a line now what that means is that this belt here and this belt here well two of the belts anyway are going to be curved while the other one is straight and now I don't mind that if the belts are a little bit curved I'd rather have them curved and then have these in line just to make this part this belt work easier but I think this looks cleaner and so I wanted to show it to you first there and I put a storage container right here to catch all of our industrial beams now there we're getting 120 per minute beams 120 per minute concrete and we're going to be making 24 per minute case Industrial beams and now let's walk around our factory look at how gorgeous this is look at how clean up off the ground the belt workor is easy and automatic in the blueprint except for this connections of course you just need to bring the inputs and you get the [Music] outputs [Music] since this is a tutorial series I'm playing with Advanced game settings I don't need to power the machines but I wanted to take a minute to show you how I would hook it up since we did take the time to install the power outlets on there there perfect let me show you how I would do this differently the other way looks really clean I think it looks super nice and like that but I don't love it as much as I could because the output is between input belts that kind of drives me nuts so what I'm going to do is put the output on the very top like so we'll do this one next we're going to come down one two not four this is going to be a bit little bit more Compact and then this one's going to go down one two 3 4 and I'm going to run all of the Splitters Splitters and mergers excuse me right here in the center starting with a merger I'm going to go all the way up the murder is going to go that direction so we can hook our belt up all right nice and straight cool right yeah well now I'm going to put a splitter below it and another splitter below that so now these are going to be not straight they're going to be curved a little bit now I can see see some people hating that when you can have it straight like the last one uh why would you do that but the reason is when you're hooking them up this is way easier to access all three of the ports so I kind of like this method better well there we have it my first stab at our embracing a verticality on a single floor and how we can use it to clean up our factories and make them a lot easier to build I've set myself a very ambitious goal for my YouTube channel this year to hit 10,000 subscribers so if you're not already I would love it if you go down and hit the Subscribe button thank you for watching and I'll see you next time bye now bad play games games play games
