We told you there'd be stuff to dig into.Wishlist here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5276140https://store.epicgames.com/p/satisfactory--core-values-exp...
True but damn is it a lot of work. Or maybe it’s less about the total work required and more like…the minimum work required.
A half-assed refinery will work fine, bottlenecks don’t really matter (aside from possibly cutting power) and any waste can be AWESOME Sinked. But with nuclear, you need efficiency and a waste plan.
This isn’t a criticism, by the way. I think the complication is very fair. The only thing i can think of that might make it less painful is having alternative uses for some of the single-purpose machines in the chain…not that I have any ideas of what else to use a particle accelerator for…
Oh for sure, that’s why it’s late game! It’s testing all of your skills that you picked up, and trust me after 5-6 factories I only now feel like I’m confident in knowing how to set it up. I remember I always wait for the alternate though that does not have sulfuric acid as waste, use the one that give sulfur as waste. Not having that liquid byproduct 100000% makes it better to work with, and then you aren’t tinkering with delicate backfilling. “Hm, so 42% needs to come from backfill, vs the rest from production, so the valve needs to be at…”.
Also it’s much easier to do plutonium at the same time as uranium. I hold off on all nuclear until plutonium is fully unlocked. Now with ficsonium you could wait until that, but tbh plutonium waste I think is 1000x less than uranium, so you can wait on it.
I’ve made it to the last phase, and stopped because of the realisation of how much work it is to finish that . One day. Maybe.
But
I am excited for this. Bring it.
I find that once you complete the final pieces once, then next time is easier, think I’ve “beaten” this game four/five times now.
I’ve given up on nuclear twice under similar circumstances…so daunting
But so much power!

That’s what I’ve attempted to do, everything I read said to not bother. I just always give up before I get there
