Satisfactory Success 2

 

Same start location as my first success but this time I managed to complete the final turn in in only 51 hours! Compared to my previous win of 66 hours! I also went on to get the golden nut! I did leave the game playing a bit and played a bit more. Total game time to get the nut ~80 hours! 

David - 95%

 

Watched in the theatre with my family. Pretty good music and animation. Kids liked it. Fairly true to the bible, added / changed a little to make it more family friendly. 

Zootopia 2 - 95%

 

Watched with the family in theater. Pretty good, lots of laughs and just enough story. Really liked the Ratatouille reference. Pretty amazing how none of the animals have to eat. Good kids movie. 

POE LS Jugg - 100%

 

Fantastic clear, tanky and good boss! Best all around build played in a while! 

Very expensive build. Stacking int and dex is a challenge but didn't cost much to be an effective build and the sky is the limit. so very fast. Easy to get DPS in the millions. To upgrade this gear any more is 70 divs a slot so I quit after putting only about 30 divs into the build. Easy to get more currency just going for the Strongboxes. 

POE Elemental Reap - 90%

 

Very smooth through the campaign. It was a bit squishy until I got the Poet's Pen. Turned out to be the most popular build of the season. The breach tree started out good but didn't give much after a couple of patches. This build was expensive due to being so popular... Couldn't believe how much it deflated. The Dark Monarch cost me 6 divines but then wasn't worth but like 1 a week later. OK clear speed and could handle low level bosses ok but nothing uber at all.   

Catch up 2025

I got behind on my blog due to moving from Michigan back to Alabama. I could have kept up with it but I didn't. Watched lots of movies and played more POE. Not going to make a post for everything that was missed but here are some of the highlights:

POE 2

• Played a Deadeye during the Rise of the Abyssal season. Turned out to be my computer RAM was bad so the game played really smoothly. Flew through the campaign with the Deadeye and stopped somewhere around level 85. Got bored in the endgame. The abys was pretty good. Didn't bother to play another character. 

POE 1

• Played the Mercenaries league. It was OK. The mercenary is just there to provide another aura. RF Chieftain to level 95 and a Smite of divine judgement Trickster to level 90.  

Shows

• Dr. Stone season 1 and 2, working on 3. It has been pretty good but has fizzled a good bit in season 3.  Watched with my wife. 
• Solo Leveling Season 2 - 100%. Kinda didn't want to see the ants again, just like in Hunter X Hunter. 
• Jujutsu Kaisen - Season 1 and 2 with my wife. Really good anime. 100%
• Demon Slayer - Season 3 and 4 with my wife. Amazing anime! 100%
• Apothecary Diaries - Season 1 and 2 with my wife. 100%. Much better than I thought it would be. 
• Dan Da Dan - Season 1 and 2. 1 was good but 2 was not so much. By the end, I was just watching it for no reason... 
• My Hero Academia - Season 7. Really great, like 98%. Glad this show is coming to an end. 

Movies

• Jujutsu Kaisen Execution - Shoulda skipped it. Music and animation was amazing but otherwise to much review and preview. 
• Demon Slayer first movie with my wife. Too much backstory! Too much of a wait for the next one.. but the animation was really good. 
• Superman - Boring, calling out the number for what punch to throw was pretty dumb. 
• How to train your dragon live action. Pretty good.. 
• Wicked For Good - Watched with the family. Not my favorite movie.. 
• Lilo and Stitch - Live action. Watched with the family. Much better than I thought it would be. Maybe the best live action adaptation from Disney. Like a 95%
• Alien Romulus - 85%. Not a great movie but the dad jokes were good. Especially the one about why did the blind man fall in the well?... he didn't see that well!! 

I am sure I forgot some... 

My Hero Final - 98%

 

Great conclusion to a epic saga. Lots of cheesy moments. Classic ending, the bad guy is beaten, wait no he is not... hit him one more time, now he is done for sure! The baby boss was goofy. Otherwise amazing story. Good to have a few epilogue episodes. 

Gladiator II - 94%

Far better than I expected. Good tie in with the original. Managed to capture the Colosseum well. Not as good as the first Gladiator but that was a classic. Denzel Washington played his part well. Hopefully there will not be a third... Seems like it was a bit of a stretch to have this one.. the irony of being back in the pit and having to fight his way up again.. 

I watched this on the plane as I was flying back from Las Vegas to Detroit. 

Prison Break - S3 - 99%

Fantastic. Can't believe they killed Sara... Felt like they recaptured the essence of the theme. Quite a character shift for Brad Bellick, amazed they kept him in the show. Interesting that they kept Mahone too. Gretchen seems a bit inconsistent as a character. Overall, great season.

POE Phrecia Obshabi - 100%

Amazing fun build! Finally. Third time is a charm.. 

Amazing at mapping, not so much anything else. 

Build is based on getting Shrines and extending the duration with the idols. 

With the overlapping buffs the DPS goes well into the millions and you can get from one side of the map to the other in less than a second. It is so fast you can't control it!

I repeated the same build as the scavenger for leveling with Power Siphon so got to maps in about 4 hours again. 

The Squire and the Resolute Technique Ephemeral Edge each cost 100C so I had just enough to get rolling as soon as I got to maps with the real build. 

Super tank. Can steamroll a T17!!! 

Lots of unpredictable fun!

The Voice of the Storm was the most expensive item needed to complete the build at 2 divine. 

So a total of about 5 divines to steamroll a T17 is very cheap!

Wicked - 80%

 

Shockingly, Ariana Grande did a fantastic job with Glinda. 

Music was OK. 

Didn't like how they tried to make the animal silencing be like racism...   

Started to watch this movie with the kids but realized they hadn't seen the original Wizard of Oz so we watched that first and then went back to this. 

Will probably watch the next movie but not really looking forward to it. 

POE Phrecia Scavenger - 85%

 

This was the most popular build.. Power Siphon Mines. 

Had enough from the first build to buy the 50% movement boots and the tabula. 

The second smoothest leveling ever. From start to mapping in 4 hours. 

No problem killing the Searing Exarch. 

Pretty good DPS but really squishy.. Could clear T13s pretty smoothly but forget T16s... 

Could have put more time and effort and I am sure I could gotten to where I could be T16s but didn't feel like it was worth the push.  I was gonna quit for the league but then I saw the build I wish I had seen before starting this build! So I gave up on this one too. Managed to get about 200C worth of random loot which was enough to get a good start on the next. 

POE Phrecia Commander - 80%

Leveling was a major pain... Till I got to A8 and got very lucky landing the Tectonic Slam of Cataclysm on my Cruel Labrinth. Then I found my first divine right after that.. So then everything was very smooth until I got to the Searing Exarch.. Brick wall. I was able to kill the Eater of Worlds deathless but I couldn't but a dent in the Searing Exarch. So, I played the build to level 89 and gave up.

Good starter build except for the slow leveling. 

Pretty great clear speed. 

Cyclone has very low top end DPS. Doesn't feel like it has any hope of any end game. 

Not a fan of the map/idol system. At first it feels ok but then it feels like a lot of unrewarding content. 

This new ascendency isn't really anything special.. Just a big endurance charge build. 

Satisfactory Nuclear Setup

 

5 Nuclear Power Plants all going 100% with no waste, no alternate recipes. Copied from TotalXclipse but it is not on his page anymore.. 

From my main base.. I belt in:

• Heat Sinks (5 per minute)
• Copper Sheets (50 per minute)
• Concrete  (141 per min)
• Stator (15 per minute)
• Steel Beams (18 per min)
• Quickwire (200 per minute)
• Sulfur (105 per minute)
• Uranium (150 per minute)
• Iron Plates (10 per minute)
• Quartz (30 per minute)
• Lots of water... Each reactor takes 240 per minute, then more for the acid and 

• The Steel Beams and Concrete are combined to make Encased Industrial Beams at 1 Assembler 
• The Copper Sheets and Quickwire are combined to make AI Limiters at 2 Assemblers 

• The AI Limiters assembler outputs are each fed to an assembler to combine with the stators to make Electromatic Control Rods (2 Assemblers)
• The Sulfur is combined with Water to make Sulfuric Acid at 2 Refineries. One needs to have a 10% output increase. The water to one of them is partially piped in from the overflow of the non-fissile uranium production.

• The Sulfuric Acid connects to the 3 blenders limited to 30 per minute each which all make the Encased Uranium from the raw uranium and concrete. Each blender connects the acid back on itself after the limiter providing the 10 sulfuric needed to needed to make it 100%. 

• Encased Uranium is directly output to each of the 3 Manufactures  which combine the Encased Uranium with the Encased Industrial beams and Electromagnetic control rods. These three are evenly split out to each of the 5 Reactors. 
• 120 Nitrogen Gas is combined with water and 10 iron plates per minute to make Nitric Acid at 1 Blender
• The Nitric Acid is fed into a 100% overclocked blender and combined with 100 Silica per minute, Sulfuric Acid, and the Uranium Waste to make Non Fissile Uranium. The overflow water goes back to the sulfuric acid refinery.
• The Non-Fissile and more Uranium Waste are combined to make Plutonium Pellets in the 1 Particle Accelerator. 
• The Plutonium Pellets are sent to 3 Assemblers to be combined with concrete to make Encased Plutonium Cells
• The Encased Plutonium Cells are sent to 2 manufactures and combined with steel beams, electromagnetic control rods, and heat sinks to make Plutonium Fuel Rods
• And finally the Plutonium Fuel Rods are resource sinked
