I tested 4 methods for fluid byproducts in Satisfactory U8
69,546
Published 2024-06-15
For completeness sake, I will say that there is a fifth method: Send the byproduct water to a different production building (e.g. a refinery on Wet Concrete or a coal generator). I did not include this in the video because I wanted a solution that did not involve setting up any unrelated production lines.

A German explaining Satisfactory, you know this is going to be good. Great vid man, I can't wait for 1.0 release!
-
"Let's just sink them." Spoken like a true German engineer. Efficency at its finest! Great video, happy to sub.
-
for a channel with just 325 subscriber, this is incredible production value. Well done! The point was brought across expertly, with some entertainment along the way.
-
Very cool video. I've been playing quite a while and my solution to output water is...limestone. Make it into concrete and either use it or sink it. I really like the Headlift Reset idea and I will be using it going forward. Thanks for this!

Underrated channel
-
A funny german, a high quality channel, with clear explanation on complicated things in satisfactory? WOW subscribed, you are so much underrated!
-
just as a note: the ficsit plumbing manual is a bit outdated. Update 7 fixcet alot of the pipe problems, but in update 8 the problems were back again. lets wait till 1.0 to see what the pipes will do then. Great video thow, i liked watching it and loved your solutions.

Its wild that when unconcerned with necessity for support, practically everyone starts building sky islands for their industry

I don't even play or watch Satisfactory videos. Somehow, this came on my YouTube recommended, and your video editing for a channel with almost 900 subs is incredibly impressive. Great work, sir. I wish you luck on your endeavors.

Small YT channel producing quality content? I love to see it. Ive never played or ever wanted to play Satisfactory ever. But quality video and made me interested.
-
This is one of the most high-quality Satisfactory (but also any game) videos I've ever seen. I love the format! Can't wait to see more of this.
-
Amazing post! Thank you. I think the most valuable thing here was the whiteboard. Ahem, I mean the test setup, where you identified what would cause stalls and then verified them. I had no idea that input starvation would behave differently than output clogging. Neat. FYI: I invariably use the boring method since the pipes behave so differently from reality and they're so unfriendly in terms of debugging what's happening.

My solution was to use packagers to shift it to conveyors. Smart splitters keep constant supply of empty containers to the waste water and the overflow of empty containers is routed to water extractors to get fresh water. all the filled water containers are routed into an industrial storage before being dispensed to the factory. it does use a lot of packagers to i'm using a significantly more power but it's robust and handles aluminum backing up and Bauxite running out like a champ.
-
That whiteboard joke earned my like and subscription. Well done
-
dude just two mins in, im hooked, great production. I am already in love with this, talk about taking a game seriously! Please keep at it.
-
As a fellow min-maxing german: I have never been so proud. (Also this channel actually deserves more attention, let's hope the YT algorithm does its thing)
-
Great video! As a long time Satisfactory player > 3000 hrs, pipe mechanics have been a bit of an enigma and I've always tried to keep it simple. The optimized fluid buffer approach that you demonstrated is urging me to be more creative with the pipe mechanics.
-
After numerous failures I've adopted a sledgehammer approach. I package everything then unpackage it directly into the machine. This is the only way I've ever found to make machine runs that never fail or lose efficiency. It costs power and machines but it saves my sanity and for anything that MUST NEVER FAIL its really quite effective. My understanding is that under the right situation all of these except for the split method will eventually fail under the right circumstances.

The level of production from a person with 1.6k subs is amazing. Looking forward to more content!!
