100% Efficient Coal Generator Basics [SATISFACTORY GUIDE]

Greetings Pioneer.
First: Thank you so much for lowering the Outromusic-Volume.
Your Build-Tip: Thanks for the great Showcase of the Heightsystem.
You deliver great work, as always.
Big Fan. :)

water basic? more like super advanced.

It's been 3 years, but it's still the best guide video!

Why you didnt show the exact place where this location is? Im must search this by my own and waste time!!

Me: happy I built an automated 600MW spaghetti power “factory”

This guy:

👍

Hi! New to the game but I like it so far. Your setup looks great, but I just got the the level of coal, so I'm a little confused by whats happening in your water tower. It would help to see the tower without the skin, or a how to vid on the whole setup for newbies.

I’m sorry to say, but I would’ve liked step-by-step, at least as far as the pipe connection to the upper factory

Very nice video, indeed. I'm a fresh newcomer in Satisfactory, just 44 hours, tier 4 under work to unlock everything. I got some basic questions, if someone want to reply. First is, (consider i don't have mark 3 stuffs about conveyor belts but just mark 2), from a single resource node of coal, how many coal power generators you can feed? i've tried to feed 8, but too slow input of coal. the other struggling is the water pump. Looks like there's no way to feed (apart doing the overclock) more than 2 coal generators with a single water pump, if you connect 3, is 120mq/minute against 50 + 50 + 50 of the coal generators, so after some, a couple of power generators runs with no water and the power line in the graph become not flat but a like a saw teeth. Any suggestions, please?

Yo thanks helped a lot

not very helpful

Can you make new guide for this setup?

I’m still confused on the extra 60 pipe- is that coming from the “key pipe” that gets connected to the vertical pump, or does the pipe that comes down from the water tower split in two on the sandwich level, leaving one to make the run to the generators and the other to go straight to the last generator? If all pipes are connected and equal, what makes you have to specify that last one getting its own pipe?

this didnt work for me i built it pretty much 1to1 and the 2 generators on both ends were not getting enough water

I don't understand the physics behind lol, why do we need it elevated?

Confused. When he said the pipes all connect at the start by the key pipe, the pipe on top of the key pipe isn’t connected?

I couldn't get mine to work properly after building almost the exact same thing, and watched your video multiple times over to see what i was doing wrong. I think it had to do with the layout under the water tower, cause shortly after that it's working just fine.

Coal is probably my favorite power source in the game, completely self sufficient, no waste generated, cheap to make late game, it’s perfect

Does this pump height mechanic still work in update 5? would love to know before I actually do it lol

Your guide was not helpful and it did not work.

At some point it switches to 3 pipes. Why do you have to hide it and you just cat show it? like lmao?

It would be helpful to see you build this system.
Your videos are awesome, but this is the only one that is prebuilt. where as I learn alot from you by seeing how you actully do the build.

I love your soothing and calm voice and way of explaining. Your videos are a pleasure and the explanations are on point! Thank you!

I'm able to place a water extractor with 1m foundation blocks all around it, and then build a platform up and over the extractor, with two coal plants, and then another layer overtop that and using the soft overlay/overlap feature to stack two more coal plants within the smoke stacks of the layer below it. The end result is a 1:4 ratio of extractor to coal plant, with all four coal plants directly on top of the water extractor. It does require each building to contain a single fluid tank, and several pumps. But its super-compact and stays 100% filled on water, all from a single extractor.

This seems to prove that at least some of the calculations in this ~2yr old video are a bit off on the current update. But still another really amazing video from Scalti. I've already used these videos to reproduce stator and reinforced plates factories... both of which look fantastic. I love the general design methodology, which once you "get it" becomes a lot easier to arbitrarily create other factories.

wish you actually showed the build and not a through-the-wall explanation of the tower. Great guide other than that

Question: if i put a coal generator 3km from my base cuz the wate ris there, and use a ton of power lines and poles, will the energy make it to my base?

Sounds like you could benefit from scripting

i like that first row of coal plants, its waiting to be expanded!

Whats your alternate recipes you prize over the rest.... ? So wondering alternate recipe tier list?

Great job with this!♥ i have a question, for the coal did u use Conveyor Belt mk2 or mk1?

where is this?

I'm going back and watching all of your videos Scalti. They are great builds and very clean/efficient. Sometimes a mind boggle but that's my lack of understanding and not your presentation. Super calm and easy to watch, the number 1 content creator for Satisfactory builds.

I have a dream, that one day, no man, no matter the color of his skin, will ever pronounce "et cetera" as "eck setra" or "eck cetera"...

Will this guide be updated for Update 5?..

how did he power this factory??

I just can't understand how he put the pipes above one another and how he split the water inside the tower with the fluid buffer t.t

God damn your builds are so neat! I love the way everything is tucked away. Wo der what your main factory looks like.

Best satisfactory channel bro

Hi there, How did you place the pipes in the first pump column with the fluid buffer?

REALLY wish I could see INSIDE the water tower on the build after the explanation. I still am not full grasping how you too 4 pipes down to the water extractor. You also explain after they go through the water extractor the split to three pipes.... what??? Removing the walls of the water extractor tower would have been very helpful sigh

Very good looking and clever built! I've spent quite a time in order to do something similar with the pipes and while I managed, the only thing that I still struggle is showing the water indicator on the small pipes going out of the tower. Any tips how can I have it there or else they don't make any sense like this.

i would love to see how you did piping in the water tower.

when splitting my coal, by burner 8 the coal is running dry, what am i doing wrong. mk 1 miner on a pure node with mk 2 belts

you're taking 360m3 of water from 3 water pumps but the pipes can only hold 300 how does this fully work i need an explanation i Beg

I just moved my coal generators from your exact location in hopes of a better node area, I'm gonna move back lol

reduce your bass jesus fucking christ I can barely understand you

Dude shows sandwitch idea. My brain: 🤯

I did 2 mk 1 miners on 2 normal coal nodes for 120 coal/m but it seems like my coal cant keep up with the coal generator demand. My water demands are able to keep up just fine but the coal cant seem to do the same. Anybody else have this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Still rocking mk1 conveyers on most of the line, maybe if i make the whole line mk2 it'll help?

Edit: figured out it was in the build itself, wasn't properly distributing the coal to the generators

Visiting this video to try and help me improve my power system as my current system is/was greatly lacking in efficiency.
I tried to follow the video best as I could given the location and scale of the build is different. I’m hauling a single power bank ( 8 coal generators and 3 water extractors). I have a Mk1 miner on a pure node, that leads to a mk2 belt to the first splitter and from the first splitter on I’m running mk1 belts. I’m not getting the full efficiency as demonstrated in this video. A believe a large part of that is my water system as I don’t feel I have a full understanding of it as well as it’s super spaghetti. Any help from some fellow pioneers would be appreciated.
