in satisfactoryPlayers build large-scale production lines to harvest materials on an alien planet and convert them to manufactured materials. Like most resource management simulators, efficiency is incredibly important to progression. Without a proper balance of supply and demand, even the most basic factories can begin to fail.
Using a facility shows several different metrics, including information such as how much power it consumes, and how long it takes to produce the next item. It is also a Productivity display That shows what the current productivity of the facility is, indicating how well the facility is functioning. Here are some tips and tricks for managing productivity from your factory.
As productivity work in satisfactory
The ins and outs of productivity
Productivity is measured as The Percentage of time a facility is spent using power (from different types of power generators) without stalling. All facilities have materials coming in and products going out, but a fine balance is needed to accomplish this well. If Too few materials are fed to the facility, It will stop And wait to get new things.

Similarly, facilities can only hold so many products before they need to be emptied. If the result is too slowFacilities will fill up and cannot produce more until their storage is empty. One of the best ways to avoid this is to Connect facilities to storage containersThat will automatically stop items produced by your facilities. Use Conveyor mergers or splitters Allows multiple products to be fed to a single storage container.
Is productivity important?
Where to find a balance
Although productivity is important to your factories, achieve 100% efficiency is not feasible Starting around mid-game. In the early game, it will be somewhat normal to see the productivity display show 100% on most of your facilities. However, once your plant reaches a certain size, There will be downtime Due to long-distance deliveries of materials or long processing times for different products. Especially when resources have to travel long distances to your facility, there will be waiting involved.
However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t aim to improve productivity. Carefully managing the inputs and outputs using conveyor belts can make improvements in even the largest factories. Make sure to keep in mind the splitters, mergers and multi-layered conveyor belts use Conveyor elevators To allow stacking of material supply lines. with a little practice, satisfactory Players should have no trouble maximizing their production output.
