!@#$%! Facesit Coupons!

[King DaMuncha]

Half the stuff should NOT be locked behind !@#$% coupons!

Coupons should be for cosmetic crap only. NOT:

Walls
Conveyors
Walkways
Wall mounts
Foundations
Stairs
Rails

And then to unlock more of these things that you should be given as mile stones each coupon costs more than the last.

Special Vehicles, and convienience items are fine as coupons, but wall mounts?

Wtf is this thread
Every node needs to be dedicated to something. Dedicate a node or two for your sink and keep playing

I just emptied an entire crate of concrete and got 0 coupons

[PersonIDK]

Concrete is a very low complexity material, try modular frames, they are a good early game item to feed in for a good chunk of points. If you're later in the game then toss in some heavy ones. Each coupon takes more points than the last. I do not know the exact math behind it but I'm sure it's on the wiki.

Concrete barely gives any points, it's one of the most basic element of the game, and limestone is abundant. Go out and explore, find some quartz or caterium ore and establish a little factory just for the sink.
Here's all the items and the points they provide:

This is a stupid tip, no offense. Any base ore is worth almost nothing.

You should read fully:
"feed into constructor(s) into awesome sink, let it run passively while you play"

Quartz Crystal is good for 50 sink points p/unit, while most ores are only work 15ish p/unit.

You don't need Quartz until mid/late game, not until after coal & you're already producing Steel anyway, so Quartz Crystal is probably the best item you can pump into the sink until you need quartz.
------------------------------
Let's take modular frames as an example, they're valued at 400ish each, producing 2 p/minute in 1 assembler - That's 800 points p/min. Plus you need Frames to make plenty of steel-related items, including heavy modular frames.

Quartz Crystal is worth 50ish each, producing 22.5 p/min, so 1100ish sink pints p/min.

You're missing the point. Points/minute is a largely irrelevant metric (and not to mention a huge waste of power in the early game) because you don't need to be constantly feeding items into the machine in order to get the one-time purchases.

Heavy modular frames are 11k points each. Computers are 17k. Some basic exploration will find you more than enough of these items that you cannot use for literal hours to buy every unique crafting recipe. Processing these will take about a minute.

Or you could run your quartz line into the sink for 7 hours, using an immense amount of power presumably while you're still on biofuel. It's just not sensible.

There is plenty of time before Satisfactory reaches v1.0 for all of us to share our ideas with the devs.

You may wish to write a suggestion and submit it on the official Q&A. If you add the URL for that suggestion to your OP, it will make easy for anyone here on Steam to upvote it.

As stated by the Coffee Stain community managers during live streams and recorded videos, individual suggestions on the official Q&A that receive a large number of upvotes are going to be noticed by the devs and then considered by them. There is never any guarantee that developers will implement ideas from players, but a reasonable suggestion can influence their decisions.

Make overflow paths for your factory, dump into a sink. Doing that i pretty much unlocked everything fairly quickly save those statues, and im only on T6 atm.

[Juntoaxx]

It is not difficult to use the sink, use high level manufacturing items like the ones needed to unlock space elevator, after unlock pump those items in to the sink. After that I unlocked every cosmetic item in the sink in under two hours. They give huge points my average per minute was over 5 - 7 mil. I built those manufacturing processes and after the unlock they just built up resources.

Quite enjoy setting up the smart splitters to filter off excess to the awesome machine.
