  The key is conveyor belt placement mode, you gotta set it to straight. That, and foundations to have everything aligned and level.

    They just added straight mode for pipes too

      and the curve mode is amazing too, especially for aligning stuff with raiks

  I’d suggest looking at some building tips videos on Youtube. Builds look tons better when you align things properly, and there are some handy tools in Satisfactory like grid snapping and nudging that can help with getting everything just right.

    I really miss the days guides were text with images instead of YouTube, YouTube, YouTube. Blah blah typical Lemmy anticorporate views, but more importantly, I’d rather just read and have something I can CTRL+F instead of having to sit through a video. At least transcripts help.

  Yeah, imo satisfactory has the ability to have both worse spaghetti and prettier factories. The world itself is also just very beautiful and full of detail, especially if you have a good enough computer to turn on all the fancy lighting and graphics settings.

  Yeah at first during onboarding when you’re running like one smelter into one constructor on the ground with a wavy belt and spamming power poles everywhere it’s kinda goofy but when you start designing factories you can make some cool looking stuff.
