Satisfactory 3x3

 

Playtime: 47 Hours

Watching some youtube I discovered the 3x3 challenge so I decided to give it a try... with some exceptions... I didn't want to build one single building, rather just till it was about as high as I could reach from the ground and then start a new 3x3. I built 7 pretty tall scrapers which I thought looked great! 

I wish I had done bigger buildings for the coal power. I managed to get 4 coal plants into a 3x3 and made it two tall so 8 per building. 

The tallest 3x3 building was 38 walls high for reinforced modular frames. 

I also wanted to be sure to do all the processing of everything at the main base. I really enjoyed setting up the barreling system for the oil. One fast belt going from the oil pumps with full barrels and another fast belt going back to the oil pumps with empty barrels. I gave up a bit on the 3x3 for the oil processing back at the main base. 

It was a bit frustrating how far water is from my base... I should have picked a better spot. 

The hub worked out well.

Satisfactory Restart

Decided to do a fresh play through on first start location. 

- Ended up just making floating platforms for whatever I needed and a central hub.

- The oil processing base ended up pretty big. 

- After completing all the objectives, I decided to make a nice indoor organized base but gave up pretty quick because there was no real goal. 

Playtime: 47 Hours

Satisfactory - Update 3 - 100%

Decided to checkout Satisfactory Update 3.

First time to try out having a central parts hub which I will defiantly have in every new game.

First time to play the desert map, it is a good start location. Lots of easy access to water... 

The pipes are a fantastic addition but it takes a while to unlock to them.
Having to have pipes for coal is a pain when there is no water near by. 

Playtime: 22 hours

Lego Lamborghini - 99%

 

I failed to get my own pictures because I moved right after I finished putting it together and left it in storage. 

Much better suspension and ability to see the transmission. 

Great color but there were some slight differences in the shades of lime on some pieces. 

Wish they could do better with the review mirrors. 

The rims were O.K. 

Wonderful that there were no stickers.

Umbrella Academy S2 - 85%

 

Great music.

Number Five and Allison Hargreeves were fantastic. 

Vanya and Klaus were terrible... again. 

Plot felt like a repeat of season one with a different backdrop.

Several unnecessary side relationships pushing agendas.   

Answered a few questions and made a few more.. So now aliens? Kind of a crop out... 

Seven Deadly Sins S4 - 80%

 

Been a long time since the 3rd season... 

Another slow start with a sided story that attempted to develop Diane and King but was mostly boring. 

They didn't really do anything with the power boost that Diane and King got from it. 

Gowther and the heart side story was pointless. 

Still huge power gaps but less so than season 3.

S4 is just a setup for S5... 

  

Eurovision - 87%

 

JaJa Ding Dong was quite catchy. 

There were several things that didn't much since.

Felt like yet another more polished version of Zoolander.

Got a little bored toward the end. 

POE ED Spellslinger - 75%

 

Created this build just because I wanted to at least try the Harvest league. Didn't really care for the league or the build so I only played to level 86. This is another Shavronne's Wrappings low life build which I didn't spend the time to get the $$... Spellslinger is easy leveling but not so much end game. I wanted to try Essence Drain for the first time but the Spellslinger version didn't really feel like I checked the box because it turns the two click play style into just another single click.
