Coming from Factorio...

8 Upvotes

Hello, DSP players.

I did a search of the forum but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. So I'm a Factorio player let's say (~3k hours) but of course I've played DSP and satisfactory in the past. <100h on each.

I last played DSP in 2023 so probably a lot has changed. I'm not interested in spoilers or anything like that, but I'd like to ask the community what sort of tips in terms of keyboard shortcuts and other quality of life tips would you advise for me coming back to a fresh run of this game?

I'm by now so used to the Factorio controls (q for pipette for example) and I was recently thinking how much hotkey-related stuff I take for granted in Factorio that a new player probably doesn't know.

So I guess I'd like to know your best tips for someone like me?

Website to quickly surface entire production chains?

I'm sure this would be wasted on veteran players who know all recipes, depencies, etc off by heart

But for a non-veteran / returning player like me, I'm often trying to decide whether a new component should get its own independent "factory", or just be integrated into the factory for something its a component of. I decide this by checking what the component is used in.

The in-game way to do this works fairly decently (in the Replicator menu) BUT this only shows what the component is used in if I have researched those technologies!

So I currently go to https://dsp-wiki.com/ which shows it for all irrespective of technologies unlocked - but this requires a fair bit of scrolling and clicking for a lazy person like me

I thought, surely somebody has build a website where you select any item, and it then instantly shows you everything its used in on the right, and everything needed to make it on the left - and even to multiple levels (i.e. Deut used in Strange Matter, which is used in Graviton Lens [used in....], QCL
