The reason this recipe is so good is that you can take a steel beam and turn it into a large amount of screws so can be used as and when needed without sacrificing space for logistics. I’d argue this is still the best screw alt in game, unless you need the coal elsewhere but perhaps for your end game build you want to get rid of screws entirely. Doing so will boost production and reduce your steel consumption versus the steeled frame recipe. My fourth favourite recipe available in the early tiers is Bolted Frame but only if you partner it with the steel screw recipe in tier 3. Iron is the most freely available resource so where possible we will save copper for recipes dependent on copper, and use where possible iron as a substitute. This is also useful late game if you’re trying to maximise your steel elsewhere.Īnother old Recipe that’s great especially if you partner this with iron wire.
#Satisfactory alternate recipe tier list update#
This recipe is still available from update 3, and is a good recipe if you’re tight on space or power.

Note that as this is specific to update 4, these recipes may well be balanced and changed in upcoming patches and updates. I should mention that we will go from the lower tiers to the later tiers in order and as recipes are unlocked based on your tier level, to increase your chances of unlocking each recipes, you should research the hard drives as soon as you unlock the tiers for these items. That being said we'll be going through my favourites, you can even find my video on the recipes here:īest Alternate Recipes For Satisfactory Update 4 Afterall, someone maximising the production in game will need different recipes versus someone who's trying to build the most items with the smallest footprint. Well, I can't say for sure which are the best as it really does depend on your game plan. So you want to know the best recipes in Satisfactory Update 4. Some of the best recipes from update 3 have dropped off the list and we have some new contenders for the best recipes. Would also require a huge increase in power consumption, but my fuel plants are expanding and not dropping my coal plants, yet.Update 4 has arrived and with it, there's a lot of talk about the best alternate recipes. Hmmm, I will have to give this a try and see if it conflicts with any of my copper producing needs. actually now that I think on it some more the Alloy recipe would only require ~200 ore/minute, so if I have the 480 ore coming in I could get ~1000 bars output. I am currently with the Mark IV belts and can easily bring in 480/minute iron and copper ore. I do believe there are some Alt recipes that actually work out worse than the original, but I guess it all depends on the situation and available resources/products at hand. If the research option shows up for Pure Iron Ingot, should I go that route with water being pumped in, keep the Alloy recipe, or just stick with the 1to1 smelter original option? I have the alt recipe of Iron Alloy Ingot which seems like a nice output bonus even though I would have to truck in copper from enough sources a bit further away. I am starting to set up a much larger facility just for the mass production of iron bars.
