Day 176 of posting screenshots every day, of whatever I've been working on that day, until I run out of content or get bored

So, today's task, before I can start using Smart Plating at the new factory, is to upgrade the current one to match clock speeds. The current factory is downclocked by a factor of 12.5%, so that everything could fit on a Mk.1 belt, while the new factory is tuned for Mk.4 belts, I.E. a factor of 100%.

Since the Smart Plating factory is so old, I didn't have nerd docs for it, as I hadn't discovered Satisfactory Modeler yet, so I had to spend some time reverse-engineering the factory to make the above layout plan. That lets me easily see all the belts that need to be upgraded. Thankfully, I didn't make any mistakes, and it is possible to get this factory up to 100% by just upgrading belts, in place, and raising clock speeds.

So, with the plan mapped out, I'll start the upgrade from the two Miners, and work forwards.

Of course, since it's all just upgrading belts in-place, there's very little to actually show off. I DID grab before and after shots of the main output belt.

Also, a nice wide-shot of the whole facility, cause why not?

Moving back to the new factory, I can finish running the final belt line, with another little dip to weave it around the belts I'll need to run for the next factory, even though I don't QUITE know where they're gonna go.

And I can drop all the excess Smart Plating I had from the old factory and inject it into the new factory directly. Finally, a real use-case for a Priority Merger, even if it is just temporary.
