The core of Satisfactory lies in the automation of production, which is achieved by connecting buildings correctly. This proper alignment allows optimal resource extraction without any delays or downtime. For instance, let’s look at the process of producing iron plates: Set up a mine on an iron deposit. Connect it to the smelter using a conveyor belt, which enables the production of iron ingots. Connect the smelter to the constructor and select the production of iron plates. Finally, connect the storage container to the constructor, ensuring that all resources are placed in a dedicated storage space. For a simplified calculation of required buildings for resource production, consider using a production calculator​.
