Satisfying Satisfactory Factory Guides

howdy! i wanted to put together a collection of clean, highly readable charts for some of the factories i create during my satisfactory playthroughs. hopefully they help you, whether youre new to the game or not.

the symbology used on these charts is completely arbitrary, so sorry if there's like, an understood flowchart "language". the layout too is arbitrary, these are simply meant to be legible guides for you to use. also, you may see that splits/merges in the diagrams use more than 3 inputs/outputs. this is because they are not meant to be specific guides, but rather a placeholder for whichever split/merge method you choose to use in your build.

this guide contains:
- basic split guide
- iron parts
- copper parts
- steel parts
- crude oil parts

- reinforced iron plates
- modular frames
- rotors
- encased industrial beams
- computers

(12/28/2024) sorry! this guide is NOT complete. i got super burned out after a big playthrough. maybe ill come back to finish out all the recipes, but for now, check out this super cool guide by ForestG, which contains blueprints for even more recipes than those included here:

[Diagram Blurb]
Higher splits would just utilize a multiple of those shown here (i.e., 1:8 would use 2x 1:4, 10 would use 2x 1:5). Higher splits into a prime number however will combine some of those shown here (i.e., 1:11 would combine 1:6 and 1:5).

The basis of prime splits is to add 1 more output and split based on that (5 -> 6), but then send the extra output back to input.
