I gave it another look after you comment. I cannot find the advanced button. There really are not many user interactive options in my menu, except in the profile space =/. I've seen other report the menus missing as well.

Either it hiding in plain sight, and I am derp'ing hard, it's so buried I can't find it, or it's completely missing on my end.

Thanks for the insights. Normally I'm 100% good with releasing it when it's ready as well as not giving a date ahead of time. But I'm about the head out of the country for a week or so, and needed to know whether to bring my Steam Deck =). It sounds like it still has a ways to go, and I'll be back before it's release.

This has been working so far! Thanks for the suggestion. (I've had the same problem in more than 1 game).

I’ll give it a try. I’ve seen as a solution to multiple problems, so probably a good tool to learn.

Thanks. I think this it best general answer (don't solve my specific problem, but for sure answers how to best get help.)

From my many decades of windows gaming, I always run in borderless window mode if I think I need/want to tab out.

I'm running on a laptop, but it's fairly high end: 13th gen i9, 4070, 64GB of RAM, and only a SSD.

You can fit 4x generators in a mk2, which is what I am using as my base for the stacking generators. While a mk3 will let you squeeze something like 9 in a single blueprint, but you are really playing tetris at that point and it doesn't look natural. It's also only a little shorter than my 4x plus a 4x on top. Overall, I like the 4x in a mk2, as it scales more naturally.

I highly recommend building them via blueprint if you aren't already. The main benefit being that you can overclock them in the blueprint itself, and it will be built overclocked and with the power shards already in place.

Are you finding the new conveyor counters useful?

There are two easy ways to tweak the game without needing mods. You can kind custom craft a pseudo new game+ that way.

• Game settings/advanced game settings - can allow you to start with tech unlocked, hostiles set to passive, and a variety of other settings
• SCIM can let you easily edit your save game, including, but not limited to unlocking recipes, unlocked research etc.

I've been debating tweaking some settings for my second go (when 1.1 drops) myself. I think giving myself Manual Depot Uploader from the start of the game will really make the play though more fun without really altering the need to go exploring. I've been waffling on setting all the critters to retaliate only. I think I want to redo all of the crash sites to explore the new breakdown mechanic, but that's just me. I do want to see if there are new achievements with 1.1 before i tweak an advanced setting, but I guess I could spin up an old save for that if I cared enough.

Your game, make it play how you want to make it play.

They have announced it. Some info is here: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Consoles Ive run it on my Steam Deck, but I am not a fan of the controls. I mostly want a console release, because I want better controller support (and thus better controls while using my Steam Deck).

I might need to start doing things like that. My global rail is getting congested. Although playing with the wait times has helped a great deal.

I'd rather get lots of info, and have to re-watch, that spend 15 minutes listening to filler/fluff. You are also not talking so fast that I can't understand you, so all good.
