Tutorial:Plan Your Factory

While playing Satisfactory, you'll need to build a pipeline of machines to produce a certain item. These pipelines can become quite complicated with all the different items to produce at different rates with different machines.

In order to visually plan your factory before you put in the effort to build it, you can use a simple library for diagrams.net to layout your production pipeline.


 * Diagrams.net (formerly known as draw.io) https://www.diagrams.net
 * Diagrams.net library, please feel free to contribute https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dU59D1vzXW-Yb76Oz_7-YHjKmvz1yh-E?usp=sharing
 * Diagrams.net library including examples diagraml, read-only https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oQQwq1sQSraeFwcVaVqvDkib4arQBlty?usp=sharing

Here's an example, planning a 3 GW power factory:



How to use the library

 * Import the library into diagrams.net (draw.io): click "File" -> "Open Library..." and select the `Satisfactory.xml` file
 * Drag items from the library to your diagram
 * Right-click on an item and select "Edit Data..." to adjust the input and output rates, if needed
 * Edit the multiplier number in the yellow circle to indicate how many machines you need
