Hope fully OK for me to post here too. Been a haul, and want to share.
2km x 2km floating main belt stack with elevator at the center, with 4km outer to hold radar towers. Foundations are as low as I could get with this perimeter, and stay flat. No trains, trucks, coal power or nuclear. Also, I'm sure I missed it, but I haven't seen anyone do vertical belts. Filter spiral, because I've put things on the wrong belts too often, and one sink for every ten belt overflows (gets clogged otherwise). Point and laugh, but it's been my happy place for a long while. I'm sure I'll be back, but this pioneer has constructed her last for a while.

EDIT: Most have probably moved on, but if you see... Thank You! Finishing left a bit of hole in me, and interacting with all of you... Felt really good! I hope you all Save the Day!

I tried flushing down various different items down the toilet and since I have already gotten all the alternate recipes, I thought why not. Why should I not flush down a hard drive. And it works, I dont know how to feel about this

Anything helpful I should know too ?

This happened a few minutes ago as well while climbing a ladder
I don't even know what could've caused this bug

30 hours in and now I know a mk2 miner will pull 60 from an impure node instead of being capped at 30. I was going to bring one conveyor belt of 240 from this area to an area with pure iron nodes and smelt it there, but now I might just bring all three pure iron mines to this area to smelt since there is so much space.

That being said, I went back to my first iron area and man that math is all wrong. I love that this game doesn't really punish you per say since at a point you have a wealth of resources to tear down and rebuild, it just depends on how big you want to go.

On my first playthrough, just started phase 4. I've loved playing this game, but once I got aluminum and the hoverpack it all of a sudden got very overwhelming. I put signs on all the storage containers, but I still end up flying around forever trying to remember where those damn iron rods are kept, for instance...

The screen shot is from "old town" where its basically all iron/steel production still is. I have a separate refinery section, an aluminum plant, and power section (those are all much better compartmentalized and layed out). But the production of the late-game items gets so complicated and interwoven I'm getting frustrated.

How do you even remember where everything is?

so, the main problem here is that i am new, its my first satisfactory main game, with 80 hours, and i wanna start with the trains now in fase 4, sooo, i wanna learn how to do waiting zones for trains to wait and not fill all the main lane i tried everything but i dont know, so i am gonna ask you how do i repair it, you can send photos of your solutions if you wanna help me more

final edit: so, thank you all for helping me or make me laugh with that invincible meme, i downloaded the mod, and now i am happy that one train used one of those extra lanes :3

Tough choice here, unsure what would benefit me on my x50 play through.

Look, I'm the self professed and claiming to be "slowest satisfactory player in the world". I spend as much time drooling in a static mode of paralysis as I spend actually building something. I have no idea if I'll, in the end, have the grit or will to see this folly of a project through. But in the mean time, have a blast and laugh at me, would you, while you gaze upon the root of my future brain aneurysm. I give you... the skeleton of what is meant to become my "nitro rocket fuel + other stuff" temple. To be continued... hopefully...

So I've "saved the day" a bunch of times using the gazillion-Km-cross-country-stacked-belt-method. I decided to change it up and try out a mass truck fleet.

The newest updates have made a huge improvement over the past; I didn't have any trucks randomly dumping their cargo at the wrong station! yay! Unfortunately I keep running into a glitch where the entire system grinds to a halt because 1 vehicle gets confused.

A vehicle just stops, for no reason: All the vehicles have fuel... the routes have all been running for hours..... nothing has been changed... nothing is blocked... nothing new was added... and yet a vehicle stopped. I can take over in manual and drive forward to clear the jam, but wow that's annoying to do over and over. :-/

Is there an obvious solution to vehicle stoppages?

About five months ago, I made this post saying how much I sucked at building in this game. Soon after that power plant, I had to drop the game for personal reasons.

Now that I'm back, I decided to start anew and make the best use of the advice you guys gave me. And honestly, I love how it turned out to be!

Specification:
6x Water Extractor running at 83.3333%
8x Coal Generators running at 166.6667
Assemblers and Trucks configured to produce a little over 96 Compact Coal per minute

I've never done such a large project before - and I know a lot of folks here wouldn't consider this a large project. But previously the biggest thing I did was a 50,000MW Nuclear plant.

After 1602 hours, this was my first time making Rocket Fuel, and I'm extremely happy with how this turned out!

I’ve posted about this before but here’s our current factory, we’ve been playing for a few days now and we’re nearly finished with phase 2 of the space elevator. I decided to try a multi-tier suspended platform to make all our resources on, which is what you’re seeing here (Floor 0 is the resource nodes and smelters, Floor 1 is smart plate production, and floor 2 is steel, auto wire, and versatile framework production.)
Sushi has come so far already with their work on designs and optimizations and I’m so damn proud of them, they’ve even surpassed me mostly

People only post pictures of their super big awesome well organized factories, and I don't blame them for flexing, but its depressing to compare them with what I've done! This scene is from a section I'm working up the courage to re-build, but until then, I would appreciate it if you could share pics of any deep dark secret spaghetti factories your using. Thanks!

I built these a while ago but was flying over the red forest and re-noticed them. Just fun little outposts to fly out the baux rather than ugly belts thru the forest. Thought I would share

I don't recall ever seeing this rainbow before. I'm in the desert, mass harvesting all the nodes, when suddenly a rainbow appears. Love it.

I'm starting to fill in my Phase 4 factories and built a 2-way rail loop around the dune desert. Now I'm adding rail stations for the factories and I'm running into a problem. This is how I'm currently placing my signals (with signals also at every endpoint seen here). The rail stations are placed at the top, with entrance on the right (see the arrows for direction of travel).

My problem is that trains can't simply pass each other because they share a block. What's the most effective way to resolve this?

Photo dump of my latest project on a new save. Random nodes, all pure. This is my computer and electronics facility. Also some bonus spaghetti and a shot of the cathedral which houses the phase 2 factory.

I began to build a Aluminium factory, belting the Bauxite to a single location when i thought.. "Why don't I just blow this place up?" (There's nothing left)
