Hey folks! For those new to Satisfactory with 1.0 a couple of people have pinged me asking questions. So first off, hello, I'm Scrubbles, I have with my latest factory now just over 2000 hours in game, I absolutely love this game. I'm a mod here, and for our newcomers welcome! So, this post was from earlier this year when someone asked how to do multiplayer. I want to preface everything by saying **there is no right or wrong way to play Satisfactory**. Everyone does it a little differently, from a spaghetti mess to perfect 90 degree angles. That being said, those differences have caused issues in our multiplayer games, so for those who are getting started - _if_ you are interested, here are some of the things my friends and I do while playing multiplayer. _Adjustments are welcome, and feedback. If people like this, I personally think it's useful to pin, but I don't want to self promote... so let me know if you think it's worth that_ ## Scrubbles' unofficial multiplayer "Rules" for Satisfactory #### 1) Clipping or No Clipping. This is a group decision, but we feel that it's more challenging and looks better if we force ourselves not to clip. (or at least avoid it at all costs). Builds are bigger, more complex, and it comes out looking nice  #### 2) Build buildings. Cover up your builds. Group builds will get _huge_ and there is a performance hit if you have all of your buildings out in the open. If you leave buildings out in the open, the engine has to draw everything, even in the low poly far away ones, it's a lot to draw. Walls make it much easier to draw, and will keep those framerates up. This doesn't really matter until Tier 3 or so, but after that yeah it's pretty important. (Our Gold Coast oil production can span the entire coast, and the game will have to show all of that if you don't build some nice buildings. Also it just looks pretty cool if you put some thought into it. #### 3) Private vs Group builds This is the big one you talked about and you just have to go over it. There are no good rules for "Don't touch my stuff" as all groups are different, but we have a good baseline of - If you want to take on a build - then awesome you should feel all empowered to do so. No one should come in and change your build, of course unless asked - HOWEVER - we all play at a different pace. We like to joke that this isn't work... but at the same time if you say you're going to produce 100 steel beams/min, I'm going to build my build based on those numbers. We have a pseudo AFK rule, if you leave the game and don't give a good time of when the build will be finished, there are no hurt feelings if someone else jumps in and finishes it for you. It was there for you, you chose not to log in one day, and that's going to have to be okay. - Also another unspoken exception we have, if you fuck something up, get the math wrong, or our favorite where sometimes conveyors/pipes don't "stitch" together there are no hurt feelings if someone comes in and fixes it. I can play 16 hours in a day when I'm really into it. Other folks may not log in once that day, it's just a thing we have to talk about and understand. I don't expect them to be logged in 16 hours a day with me to finish their build, but if they're AFK for a couple of days and I need it... well, yeah I may go finish it. ## Rail Network Those are the only "rules" we have. As for a rail system, I'd recommend personally that someone "takes charge" in planning rail and hooking up factories. Someone who has the entire network in their head on how things are moving. Everyone should be welcome to help, but rail networks get complicated fast and it's good to have a point (wo)man. A good way to help organize this I've found is to make a "Departures Board" of all of your trains, especially at hubs, so make any sense out of what is happening. Just like the real ones  You too can put some up that explains where resources are going in or out.  ## Hub Finally, make transportation and the Hub a big focal point. Make it fun. For our last build we made the Hub separate from our main construction, and moved all of our train hubs there. ~~That also made it perfect for building our warehouse~~ _(1.0 edit, I wonder what will happen with warehousing...)_, and on top of that we put the center of our hypertube network. Make it a fun place to stop in, and make it easy to craft new gear there if you get stranded. This is especially important in multiplayer so your friends aren't going "Where the hell did Scrubbles put the chest of Encased Steel Beams?!"  Also, make a good **todo board**, so everyone knows what everyone is doing. Try to make it easy and clean to understand. We chose this format  It keeps everyone aware of what people are working on and cuts down on duplicated effort. ## Server Maintenance Your factory server _will_ crash. It just will. Once our factory got large enough in Update 7 it happened probably once a day. Know that _someone_ is going to need to be on call - or you're going to all need access to the server and know how to spin it up if it crashes. Keep backups of the saves in a neutral places anyone can access so if someone accidentally nukes the server you can at least have the saves. (I personally recommend setting up `rclone` or something to sync your saves somewhere like google drive) ## Summing up Finally, always find ways to keep morale up. Ficsit demands morale be just high enough to remain productive. Give helpful reminders to your friends whenever possible.  That's all I have! Have fun on your next factory, and remember, _remain efficient_.

But efficiency was the only achievement, _and you never truly achieved it_. (but of course I am happy to have them, and I think I have to 100% it)

> Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country. > Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth. > I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades. > I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story. > With love and hope, > Taylor Swift > Childless Cat Lady

Hey folks, I'm lucky enough to be in one of the few places on the internet that uses LTO. I'm running LTO-8 tape. My current drive is kind of a dud, I'm interested in a new (to me) drive. Either internal in just an old desktop, or an external drive. I'm not afraid to shell out for it, but if I am I'm nervous to drop 2000 on just a random ebay seller. Anyone have any reputable sources? In the Seattle area if anyone knows a local one too.

Hey folks! Not sure where to put this, but since I'm doing this to install Bazzite soon, why not. I have a HTPC that currently has an NVidia card in it. Since Gamescope doesn't play nice with nvidia, I'm going to upgrade the GPU. I have a 6900XT in my primary rig, love the thing. here's the thing though, I was going to put it into my original HTPC, but it was too long by about 0.5 inches. Does anyone have either A) a recommendation on a GPU that can drive a 4K tv that is shorter than 12" or B) Know of any good sites that have a filter? It's a pretty intense machine, since the whole family uses it. I'm planning on about a grand for the new GPU, if it works like my 6900XT. Less is of course better, but I don't want this one struggling personally. Thanks for any rec's!

> Every day, we work to make our platform the best it can be, which includes regularly revisiting our terms and policies (also known as our House Rules) to make sure they meet the needs of our growing community and allow us to continue to support you. Today, we’re sharing a few updates that go into effect on September 15, 2024. > We’ve made some changes to our dispute resolution clause (section 11) for users in North and South America, with updates to our arbitration procedures for smaller matters and for coordinated or “mass” arbitrations (with 25 or more claimants). We have also updated the choice of law that’s applicable to the Terms. As before, the arbitration agreement includes a class action and jury waiver, which means we’ll be resolving most disputes in private, individual arbitration, and not in court. Please read this section carefully. We’ve added which entity acts as the merchant of record, depending on a buyer’s currency and location of your payment instrument. So, if you're upset at all you can't sue, you can't go to the courts, you have to sit in a an arbitration with someone we choose who (trust us) won't be biased. To add in, an annoyance for sure: > Effective July 29, our Adult Nudity and Sexual Content Policy introduces more rigorous guidelines regarding our prohibitions of nude or sexual content, as well as how to appropriately list certain mature content.

I think this was here a while ago, but I lost the post. If I remember, there was an extension where someone had built up a repository of poses, and then in the UI you could go through them and pick out the one you wanted for your image. Does anyone remember that? I have controlnet and can do poses, but finding them is a bear right now.

I know, lame post, but I wanted to say that Linux gaming has gotten soooo much better, to the point that I honestly think my games are running better than on Windows. I've played so many games, but notable ones are Halo: MCC, MS Flight Sim 2020, Satisfactory, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and right now I'm starting a full playthrough of Dragon Age. Dragon Age is notorious even on Windows for being a pain because it's such an old game. You have to install the 4gb patch, and even then it's a bit rocky. Not on Linux though! I did have to install PhysX but I googled it and saw it was 2 buttons to install on Linux! Now it's been rock solid and stable, with no crashes. Linux gaming may have a high bar to learn, but that bar is constantly getting lower! Exciting times!

I'm an ex incel myself, but I've been seeing a few users here exhibiting the tell tale signs. "I'm not attractive enough", "I don't socialize correctly", "I'll never find a woman" - all extremely unhealthy attitudes. Personally I burned through many friendships and ruined a lot of chances with women because I was in the incel community. The community warped my view of women so much that I made it even harder to meet women, I became my own worst enemy. I lost friends because all I could think of was how horrible it was that they had girlfriends. I have a friend who helped me out of it. She was the one who started calling out my bad behavior for what it was, and I started on the long uphill path out of it. I'm now married and stable for well over a decade, but I still think back to those days, and it depresses me seeing other people causing this themselves and not being aware of it. So, Lemmy, for those who have clawed out of it, what's your story?
