From using the planner to comparing recipes, planning power and closing loops — every guide follows the real game data and the solved numbers.
Using the planner
- Your First Production Plan — A Guided Tour of the PlannerEnter a target rate in the Satisfactory production planner, read the resources, buildings, power and flow it returns, then save, share and export the plan to Excel.
- Choosing Alternate Recipes — Reading Output per Machine, per MW and per IngredientCompare output per machine, output per MW and output per ingredient using the real numbers behind the standard and alternate Iron Plate recipes.
- Planning Power — From Coal to Fuel to Nuclear, Fuel Chain IncludedCompare the output and fuel consumption of coal, fuel and nuclear generators, and plan power together with the mining, refining, water supply and waste each option brings.
- When to Use Somersloops and Power Shards — Double Output and What It CostsCompare Somersloops and Power Shards by output multiplier, ingredient consumption, building count, units required and clock-adjusted power draw.
- Working with the Excel Export — Six Sheets and How to Migrate Your Own SpreadsheetUse the six sheets of the Excel export for construction, item balance, extraction and logistics, and migrate safely from a spreadsheet you built yourself.
Loops and fuel chains
- How the Complete Oil Recycling Loop Works and How to Build It300 per minute each of Plastic and Rubber, with Fuel circulating between the two halves of a fully closed recycling loop.
- How Diluted Fuel Power Works and How to Build It2,500 MW, following Crude Oil through Heavy Oil Residue and Diluted Fuel into Fuel-Powered Generators.
- How Turbofuel Power Works and How to Build It2,000 MW, using the power chain that turns Compacted Coal and Fuel into Turbofuel.
- How the Aluminum Refining Water Loop Works and How to Build It120 Aluminum Ingot per minute, reusing the Water that the Aluminum Scrap step sends back upstream.
- How the Packaged Diluted Fuel Canister Loop Works and How to Build It120 Fuel per minute: package the Water, then recover the Empty Canisters after dilution and use them again.
- How the Battery Water Loop Works and How to Build It60 Battery per minute, returning the Water produced along the way to the Alumina Solution step.
- How Nuclear Power and Reprocessing Work and How to Build Them5,000 MW plus 0.1 Ficsonium Fuel Rod per minute, following every reprocessing stage that starts from nuclear waste.
