There are dozens of different resources inSatisfactory, all waiting for you to start digging them up.
Here’s how to get started automating your factory in Satisfactory.
One jot down of important resource you’ll unlock early on is fluids.
Below, we’ll take a look at everything you better know about fluids in general in Satisfactory.
One of the biggest differences between fluids and solids is their method of transportation.
it’s possible for you to’t put fluids into your inventory unless you package them first.
Head Lift
Because of gravity, fluids can’t travel very far vertically on their own.
If you need water to go higher than that, you’ll need to use aPipeline Pump.
Nitrogen Gas does not need head lift to flow upward, because it is a gas.
Fluid will always try tolevel out at its original starting point.
This same concept applies when using aPipeline Junctionto split the flow of a fluid.
A Pipeline Junction is essentially both a conveyor belt splitter and merger, but for fluids.
Fluids that pass through the Pipeline Junction will besplit evenly among all connected sides, equalizing where possible.
Say you have eight Coal-Powered Generators that each require 45 cubic meters of water per minute to function.
Since Water Extractors produce 120 cubic meters of water per minute, you need exactly three to provide enough.
To remedy this, you’ll need to place one Water Extractor at the other end of the pipe.
Valves allow you tolimit the flow rate of a pipeline.
Ultimately, youdon’t really need to focus on optimizing a pipe’s flow rate.
Here’s how to complete every Tier 4 Milestone in Satisfactory, and what they unlock.
