Hey y'all welcome back to episode 15 of my Satisfactory Update 5 playthrough and on this episode we are going to be diving into some more of the Tier 7 milestones we still have to unlock hazmat suit and aeronautical engineering that's our plan for today as well as we're going to try to get a little bit more MAM research done um it actually looks like I've got a hard drive here that's ready to come out so we will dive into that here right away so sit back relax and let's jump into it so first things first let's have a look at this hard drive that we had got here we do have some alternate recipes for making concrete which is silica and limestone which I don't think that's necessarily a great combination to go with and then an alternate blueprint for pure Caterium ingots which I I'm not sure about this one either where it's 2 Caterium ore and then water run through a refinery and then we have an alternate blueprint for fused quick wire which is one Caterium ingot and five copper ingots gets us 12. that's actually you know a pretty good return on what you're getting in there that might not be a bad alternate for getting quick wire but i mean we've got tons of quick wire happening right now so I'll select this one just because that seems like a pretty good use of resources so alright so the next little bit of research I want to dive into is under the quartz tree and it is signal technologies and that is with the oscillators I did set up a quick assembler um just off to the side here that I've been manually loading some items in just so that we could start to get these processed out and we're going to start that research and that's of course only a three second research doesn't take too long to get there and then next is we have frequency mapping so i think this unlocks the map for us we need 10 beacons and 10 oscillators which I still have the oscillators getting made for so we'll be able to get that here right away and then we also get the explorer which is going to be 100 of the modular frames and 10 more oscillators so we're going to just let our oscillator production run here for a bit and and get those cranked out I'm still kind of chipping away at getting the black powder done to be able to unlock the sulfur tree and really there's not much other than Caterium where we need to be i need to you know chip away at getting some of this smart research done so that we can get our splitters done and super computers and power switch so there's still a few more things there that we need to be manufacturing okay so we have the next little bit of MAM research to do so we're just gonna come over here and we're going to quartz and this is going to be for frequency mapping i do have 10 oscillators and 10 of the beacons start research that's going to take five minutes for that to complete and then next we'll be working towards getting the explorer done and I also have I think I've got everything I need to be able to get the smart splitter done and that looks to be about all i can get done here soon so uh we'll wait till this one completes and then we'll get the smart splitter done and then the explorer done as well so one other thing that I decided while I'm kind of waiting for some research and stuff to finish that uh we needed to get build is a manufacturing process for some AI limiters I'm not going to need like a whole pile I don't think I'm going to need a whole pile of them but it's something that I'm going to need on a regular basis so I've taken a feed of quick wire over to this assembler and then we brought up some excess copper sheeting uh from the line that we're making the circuit I think it's the circuit boards it's down there so that's coming up here and getting fed into this assembler and it's only making five AI limiters per minute um but it's enough to just kind of get by with when we need them so that is a quick little assembly there it's just something that's going to run in the background it's not efficient it's not running really fast but it should provide just enough and we can always expand this later on if we needed to okay so we do have that one research done and as you can see now we have a map that we can zoom in and see I believe everything that we're kind of working on here it there's a lot of like big black areas yet that aren't really discovered additional power is there we are right here now I wonder if this actually shows like our setup this is the first I've dove into the map here at all and seen what's going on so there's my sulfur and my pure quartz we have our bauxite and our additional power there is also a coal node up here as well too pure Caterium node is way over there however I don't think that's the one I'm pulling from because I'm pulling from one that's just over by the elevator here so it's uh it's it's gonna be nice now that we can see okay what haven't we explored yet and as you can see we really haven't explored a lot of this map at all so there's still tons more that we could be exploring and checking out here for sure the next bit of research we're going to dive into is now the smart splitters so we're gonna start that research which was the AI limiters and then it's like reinforced plate or something like that that was needed for it it's another five minutes on there smart splitters are gonna be nice because it will give us the ability to set like overflows on things instead of it right now i'm just using regular splitters to handle overflow but it'll be nice with the smart splitters you can say you know what keep filling this until it's full and then once it's full send the overflow out of the splitter and so it's going to handle sending things to our awesome sink a lot easier alright while waiting for additional research I slapped together another quick little spaghetti mess of assembly here so we put a splitter now in on this quick wire line and we have it run into this assembler we're then also put a splitter over here and we're pulling some circuit boards into the assembler as well and then coming off of our cable storage i've brought an elevator up and another conveyor around that's feeding into here and this is making our high-speed connectors so now we have a manufacturing assembly line for being able to make high-speed connectors and AI limiters all of which are going to be needed to help us with our future research that's happening here okay let's turn in some research the analysis of smart splitters is now complete we can now manufacture smart splitters now if we continue on the Caterium line this is AI limiters and steel which we actually have already on us so we can get the main power switch that we can put in line and we can shut systems on and off with it so we're going to start that research next will be super computers which is the high speed connectors as well as AI limiters which we have been manufactured so we'll be able to get that research done and then we're coming down to programmable splitters that's going to be super computers and heavy modular frames we don't have any manufacturing for supercomputers yet because a we still need to learn it and this one here isn't unlocked to us yet so we're not entirely sure what this is going to be so but we are making some significant progress here the other thing too on the quartz side of things is I do have everything i need for this but i've got to wait for our research to complete and then yeah it's just a matter of cranking out a whole bunch of oscillators and getting some more of the beacons to be able to get radar technology done and then radio signal scanning is another one that we can get taken care of but it's all just comes down to oscillators getting made and and whatnot so I might end up having to convert more like I'm still on a temporary assembly right now for the oscillators I might need to step this into an actual real production line alright the MAM research is complete the analysis of the power switch is completed let us move on and you know what I did go over and we did have enough of the black powder so we can research black powder that's done that now unlocks for us what do we got here the Nobelisk explosive which just needs some more of the black powder and some steel pipe then we have the detonator which requires uh five object scanners bunch of copper wire and encased industrial steel beams what else we got the rifle which is circuit boards and uh i think that's circuit boards yep circuit boards heavy modular frames and steel pipe all of which are being manufactured and then rifle cartridges which is a bunch more black powder and stuff well I don't have enough sulfur right now to be able to pull that off so what kind of at least they're unlocked we know what we've got coming up for this sulfur line okay let's go back now to quartz and this is gonna get us our explorer which is uh one of our first vehicles here so let's start exploring that and we'll be able to cruise around a little bit we've got to make sure we keep fuel with us for it but other than that I mean that's that's going to be making it easier for us to travel around the map rather than having to run everywhere where we've been going so that is a significant upgrade I'm a long ways away from the oscillators we might be grinding to a halt here pretty quick Caterium I can get this done I'm just waiting for some more of the the high speed connectors to be done and then we will get the supercomputers unlocked so we'll be right back all right research for the explorer is now complete I believe under alien organism there's another quick research that we can do and that's our object scanner improvements we're going to click that let's get that underway that one was a quick one and then there is one more hostel organism detection which uh this is just gonna take a little bit you know what I bet you we even have everything we need sitting in our chest right here for this so there's that one and this one and then that will complete our alien organism research 100% done so that is all taken care of so now we'll be able to object scan for any of the hostile creatures around back to Caterium I still need some more let's see how we're doing on the AI limiters we've got them started over here hopefully I have enough power to get across this just we just made it oh yeah we should have enough now not a problem so while whip quickly whip back over to the MAM here grab our quartz no sorry it wasn't under quartz it was Caterium research we were doing super computers, super computers are now unlocked that's another quick one that got done confirm next will be we need a whole bunch more uh high-speed connectors for being able to get the mark 3 power poles and then we need the super computers for that one we need super computers for the geothermal generators as well to use so we've got uh you know I did come across one of those geysers I didn't know what they were for apparently they're for geothermal generators of which I'm gonna have to try to figure out where that that geyser was make sure I marked that so that we can come back and put a thermal generator there so you know bit by bit we're getting really close like alien organism now is 100% researched we are sitting at 81% on Caterium mycelium i think is 100% done nutrients is 100% done power slugs is 100% done quartz we are now at 78% so there's still two more things to unlock there and then of course we've got our sulfur tree which we haven't really been paying too much attention to but other than that that's research so let's start diving into our Tier 7 as soon as I get back onto the ground here Tier 7 Milestones if we look at here hazmat suit we need to make the aluminum casing and aeronautic engineer also needs aluminum casing as well as radio control units so there's two different manufacturing lines that we're gonna have to get built for being able to get this complete so let's dive into that now alright before we get too carried away on diving into the aluminum casing manufacturing I did want to go through I made some modifications to things over here now to kind of improve the efficiencies of our aluminum manufacturing so I did modify my water situation here so make sure that they were definitely coming from a higher point than our water that's coming out of our alumina solution and aluminum scrap manufacturing so this is taking priority one now definitely um and I did clean up there was some clipping that was happening that I've got cleaned up that isn't happening anymore now so basically we're coming out with the water here i have put some valves online here to make sure that the water the fluid only flows in one direction and then uh the water is coming out of here as well and if we go down below you can have a look here I did put a valve in here as well too forcing the water to only flow this way so that these are always pulling from that and I've had no slow downs now here whatsoever all of the water is getting pulled out of here and then the rest of the water is coming from the two pumps then I did take uh a feed of quartz now I do have about 120 items per minute of quartz coming down this way that is getting turned into silica that's silica because to be able to manufacture all of the aluminum scrap that we've been making um we needed like 300 silica to be able to do that well this setup over here was only producing 100 so I needed to bring another 200 in from over here and to get 200 is i did have to overclock one of the um constructors over here to like one 133 percent and that's got us pretty close to we're like point one two away from uh items per minute away from 200 items per minute coming out of here not enough to really significantly impact the overall production so then we have four of these um foundries that are now making our aluminum ingot so all the aluminum ingots are coming down here we have some going into storage and then if storage is full it then all dumps into our awesome sink eventually i will change that to an awesome or a uh a smart splitter so that or even this one here as a smart splitter and i can get i could guarantee then that everything just gets straight to the awesome sink if this is full and then of course we do have our smelters here that's taking care of the copper line that i have coming down here so that we have the manufacturing of our Alclad Sheeting and the alcad aluminum sheeting we're doing alright with it like I'm I can definitely step this up I've got more than enough production now I want to say what are we sitting at we are at we're getting 240 aluminum out of here now aluminum ingots where before i did this redesign we were maybe hitting 80. so our efficiency for the aluminum ingots is significantly higher now so this is the kind of the change that I did over here to make this more efficient and it was all based off of comments uh from Ron uh who had said you know what you're definitely gonna need some more silica double check your your fluid um and he actually has a really good uh video on his channel i'll put a link of it in the description uh on representing how fluid priority works because it's not just a combination of head lift and and which is the lower feed because if you've got some of the water pumps and stuff in there but his video does a really good job of explaining it so I'll show I'll put a link in that in the description of this one for sure so now it's time to get our aluminum casing manufactured alright aluminum casing was ridiculously easy to be able to add into our production facility over here so basically i slapped down a splitter out front here we're running a line into a constructor constructor is set to um aluminum casing and then the aluminum casing is just getting moved into this storage here boom aluminum casing is now manufactured so now it's just a matter of waiting for this to kind of stockpile a little bit for us so that we can go and turn in some milestones okay so our aluminum casings have been manufacturing away and we have enough now to turn in our hazmat suit let's select this we have aluminum casing we have quick wire and we have uh where's my filters there's the filters right there launch away we now can make a hazmat suit milestone reached with the new hazmat suit and iodine-infused filters you will be protected against uranium-based radiation so that's getting us steps closer to being able to get to nuclear power the next thing we want to dive into is the last milestone for Tier 7 which is aeronautical engineering which is going to be a bunch of casing which we already got the alclad aluminum sheets which we already have motors they're getting manufactured that's not a problem we got lots of access to that and then radio controlled units so we're going to have to be able to get this up and manufacturing and what does it require it requires aluminum casing a crystal oscillator and a computer system to be able to get that built so let's go build a manufacturing process for that okay like I had mentioned earlier we were gonna need to get an assembly line in here for being able to make the crystal oscillators so basically I've taken from my quartz storage here it's running into a constructor that's then getting turned into quartz crystals that are being fed into this assembler that is being combined with the copper cabling as well as some reinforced iron plating that is making crystal oscillators of which i have a small little pile of them just coming in if we need to grab some that we need to manufacture anything with they're going into storage and then they're also coming over to a radio controlled unit assembly so in this assembler we have of course the crystal oscillators being fed in i have a feed from our computers coming down and coming into here as well and then i've brought a conveyor all the way from our aluminum manufacturing with the aluminum casing that's wrapping around and coming in and loading up right in here so then these all exit out at this end we had 48 of the radio control units built so far i don't have a storage unit we could put quickly put a little storage unit down here for these just so that they're I mean not that it's ever going to back up because it's such a slow manufacturing process but we'll slap this down for now I'll throw a quick conveyor out into this just so there is some place for these to be stored so I think I still need another two out of this yet before we're ready to go so uh we're just gonna wait for these to finish manually manufacturing and then we'll be able to step out our final Tier for Tier 7 alright we've gathered everything up let's head over to the hub aeronautical engineering we're selecting this milestone in goes the motors there are 300 motors it requires which is wow that's a lot of motors for that and then 50 of the computers and then 100 of the alclad aluminum sheeting and then 200 of the aluminum casting launch away Tier 7 is now complete milestone reached aerial transport of resources is now possible with the use of drones ideal for shipping across long distances or difficult terrain ensure the presence of batteries at drone ports for optimal results a new project part enables progress to the next phase alrighty so now it's a matter of getting set up to work on milestones for Tier 8 and that is going to be nuclear power, advanced aluminum production, um leading edge productions and particle enrichment but we're gonna save those for to uh start chipping away on the next episode I hope you guys have enjoyed what we've done here so far let's just do a quick little recap we revamped the aluminum manufacturing facility to make it more efficient and got aluminum casing manufacturing over on that far side and brought back this way we have also created manufacturing for our AI limiters and also our high-speed connectors so we now have manufacturing for those two automating components we automated the crystal oscillator manufacturing and we automated the control unit and that's gonna hurt we lived I thought for sure i was gonna die there we automated the uh control unit as well the radio control unit that's where we're at right now we've made some significant progress it was a lot of little smaller manufacturing processes but uh all in all I think it came together quite nicely with that said guys I hope you enjoyed this episode reach down hit the like button on the video
