| 1s | hey everyone my name is Jason I'm a |
| 3s | community manager at coffee stain |
| 5s | Studios last week we actually released a |
| 6s | teaser trailer for some cool new |
| 8s | features coming to update two new |
| 9s | features the priority power switch and |
| 11s | the power towers and if you didn't see |
| 13s | the teaser trailer it'll be up here in |
| 14s | the cards if you want to check it out |
| 15s | and Yeah and today we're just basically |
| 17s | going to be talking about what those |
| 18s | things are and how they work now a fun |
| 19s | little fact is actually both of these |
| 21s | features were kind of we started making |
| 23s | these way back in update four actually I |
| 25s | think the Power Tower model has been |
| 26s | done since back then |
| 28s | um and the priority power switch we've |
| 30s | leaked more times than a broken faucet |
| 32s | to be honest uh I remember uh there was |
| 35s | one video where we were talking about |
| 36s | new UI coming with resource Wells and |
| 38s | things like that and it was like there |
| 40s | was a two frames I think it was two |
| 41s | frames with the uh priority power switch |
| 43s | in the build menu and you guys caught it |
| 45s | so we'll equip the pressurizer we'll |
| 47s | plop that on there |
| 52s | it's nice for them to be finally |
| 54s | finished off and they're coming out with |
| 55s | update eight so that's exciting so the |
| 57s | first thing we need to talk about is the |
| 58s | Power Tower uh this big bad boy is going |
| 61s | to be unlocked in tier four in a new |
| 62s | Milestone called expanded power |
| 64s | infrastructure which is actually the |
| 66s | name of a milestone in tier VI that |
| 69s | Milestone is now going to be renamed |
| 70s | into Logistics mark IV and then this new |
| 72s | Milestone added to tier 4 with the Power |
| 74s | Tower and power storage will be moved |
| 76s | into it and that would be called |
| 77s | expanded power infrastructure and power |
| 79s | Towers have two attachment points they |
| 81s | have a top and a bottom there's a power |
| 83s | top and there's a power bottom |
| 87s | oh I'm just sitting there going don't |
| 89s | make the don't make the joke Chase don't |
| 90s | make the jokes don't say it don't say it |
| 92s | Power top and power bottom okay and the |
| 94s | different attachment points actually |
| 95s | have uh I think the top one has three |
| 97s | attachments to it and the bottom one has |
| 98s | four so the Power Tower can connect up |
| 100s | to seven uh connections at a time |
| 103s | um the top of the bottom attachment |
| 105s | points have different properties for |
| 106s | example if you uh click a power line on |
| 108s | the top uh attachment points and you |
| 110s | drag out you'll drag out a Power Tower |
| 112s | automatically in the same way that power |
| 114s | poles usually work when you drag a line |
| 116s | out of out of power poles and if you um |
| 119s | attach it to the bottom attachment point |
| 120s | that automatically pulls out a power |
| 123s | pole which is generally speaking what |
| 125s | you want to do when you're um working |
| 127s | with the power Towers you know use the |
| 129s | top attachment points for to cover a lot |
| 130s | of distance and then the bottom one is |
| 132s | to pull out power poles to nearby |
| 133s | factories another property of the power |
| 135s | Towers is that the top attachment point |
| 137s | when building out of that you can |
| 138s | actually build cables about about three |
| 141s | times as long as you can normally with |
| 143s | power poles so one of the main things |
| 145s | about this Power Tower is the ability to |
| 147s | quickly and easily run long power lines |
| 151s | uh a really long distance right like |
| 153s | great distances |
| 155s | um also it looks really cool you know |
| 156s | can you imagine these these power Towers |
| 158s | just disappearing Over the Horizon |
| 159s | across the desert I think it looks super |
| 161s | sick and this also means that the build |
| 162s | gun when dealing with power Towers |
| 163s | actually has a longer build distance as |
| 166s | well so that you can still build power |
| 168s | Towers really really far away it makes a |
| 170s | lot of sense for the feature so now |
| 171s | there are actually two types of power |
| 172s | towers and if you use the quick switch |
| 174s | radial menu you'll see them both there |
| 175s | as well so you can you know use Quick |
| 177s | switch for that and the two types are |
| 179s | one with a platform and one without a |
| 181s | platform and the entire purpose of |
| 183s | having the platform one is there's a |
| 185s | ladder on it you can climb up to the top |
| 186s | and then of course you can zipline |
| 188s | across the uh you know really really |
| 190s | long distances and this synergizes super |
| 192s | super well with the zipline Sprint mode |
| 195s | that we added back in update seven we |
| 197s | had this feature in mind when we added |
| 198s | that feature and now it makes way more |
| 200s | sense if you have the zip line with you |
| 202s | because because you couldn't be standing |
| 203s | on a Power Tower with a with a platform |
| 205s | and then pull out another Power Tower |
| 207s | with a plan form build it a long |
| 208s | distance zipline zipline Sprint mode to |
| 211s | get to the other Power Tower land on it |
| 213s | and then rinse and repeat and you can |
| 215s | just keep doing that and you can |
| 216s | actually run power lines quite far quite |
| 218s | quickly and so that's how the Power |
| 219s | Tower works next up is going to be the |
| 221s | priority power switch yeah we've got the |
| 222s | power top the power bottom and now we've |
| 224s | got the power switch very good okay |
| 226s | foreign |
| 227s | the priority power switch is an advanced |
| 229s | version of the power switch and it is |
| 231s | unlocked in the mam katirian research |
| 233s | and this thing is actually super |
| 236s | powerful it is the power switch they |
| 239s | told you not to worry about but uh |
| 242s | I'd be sweating I'd be sweating this |
| 244s | thing's crazy good let's get into it so |
| 245s | typically in satisfactory if your power |
| 247s | consumption exceeds your power |
| 248s | production and you have no power backed |
| 250s | up in storage your entire power Network |
| 251s | would just shut off right we've all |
| 253s | heard that sound we old no one love it |
| 255s | what the power priority switch allows |
| 256s | you to do is gate off different sections |
| 258s | of your factory into different like |
| 260s | power grids sort of as defined by the |
| 263s | priority power switch and then it will |
| 265s | allow you to assign each of those gated |
| 266s | off segments a priority so that if the |
| 269s | power were to fail it will start |
| 270s | switching off the segments with the |
| 272s | least priority in your factory so as to |
| 274s | stabilize what your power production can |
| 277s | actually maintain long story short it |
| 280s | makes it so your factory doesn't shut |
| 281s | down entirely so the way that this works |
| 283s | is if you go up to the priority power |
| 284s | switch you open up its menu there'll be |
| 285s | a fuse sequence Tab and in it on the |
| 288s | right hand side there will be like all |
| 290s | of your priority power switches that |
| 291s | you've built and a bunch of fuse groups |
| 293s | right and then you can just simply drag |
| 295s | and drop your priority power switches |
| 297s | into whatever group you want them to be |
| 299s | in and so when there isn't enough power |
| 300s | in your factory your fuse groups will |
| 302s | start turning off from lowest priority |
| 304s | to highest party lowest priority being |
| 305s | fuse group eight highest party being |
| 307s | fuse group one and it will turn off |
| 308s | everything within those groups one by |
| 310s | one until your factory stabilizes and an |
| 312s | easy way to remember these fuse groups |
| 314s | is that fuse group one is for your |
| 315s | number one priority buildings so you |
| 317s | want them to stay on as long as possible |
| 319s | okay so a good use case for these for |
| 321s | example is you might want to keep power |
| 323s | production buildings Infuse group one |
| 325s | that way they are the Lost buildings to |
| 327s | shut down because if you lose power to |
| 329s | your power production buildings it can |
| 330s | be a real pain generating power to get |
| 332s | your power production back up and |
| 334s | running again another cool feature with |
| 335s | these bad boys is that you can actually |
| 336s | modify the priority setup of any |
| 339s | priority power switch from any switch |
| 341s | regardless of whether they are on a |
| 343s | network or not a network at all so you |
| 345s | can just pop a priority power switch |
| 346s | down in front of you and manage all of |
| 349s | your priority power switches from |
| 350s | anywhere if you want not only that but |
| 351s | the priority power switch is in the fuse |
| 353s | menu have little like toggles on them |
| 355s | right you guys see a little slider there |
| 356s | and that is to turn on or off remotely |
| 359s | any priority power switch from anywhere |
| 362s | across the map and I think this is a |
| 364s | secret little gem of a feature so this |
| 366s | means that like even if you're not |
| 368s | relying on the whole like automatic trip |
| 370s | feature to to save your factory from |
| 372s | shutting down it's such a great way to |
| 373s | turn on and off distant uh factories |
| 375s | that you don't want to to take up power |
| 377s | anymore if you don't want them to you |
| 379s | can just do it from anywhere I think |
| 380s | this is a really really really powerful |
| 383s | um extra feature a little bonus feature |
| 385s | to get here with the priority power |
| 387s | switch now depending on how you've built |
| 388s | your power grid in your factory right |
| 390s | now and how neat and tidy things might |
| 391s | be in order to utilize the priority |
| 394s | power switch you may need to rework some |
| 396s | stuff if you want if you want these |
| 397s | benefits ideally you want to isolate |
| 399s | your different factories with as few in |
| 401s | and out points as possible preferably |
| 402s | only one in and out point so you can |
| 404s | just put one switch down there and |
| 407s | turning that on and off will turn that |
| 408s | whole segment on and off so anything |
| 410s | that's super interconnected is going to |
| 412s | struggle because it's going to be hard |
| 413s | to organize all those power switches uh |
| 415s | priorities power switch does not mean |
| 417s | you'll never lose power to all of your |
| 418s | buildings if for some reason uh first of |
| 421s | all not everything has to be in a fuse |
| 422s | group you might leave some stuff off to |
| 424s | the side and therefore it won't |
| 425s | automatically trip the other thing is if |
| 429s | for any reason whatever fuse group you |
| 431s | have your power in power production in |
| 433s | for some reason somehow doesn't get the |
| 435s | power it needs then it will still shut |
| 437s | down too so it's still entirely possible |
| 438s | to shut down your entire uh Power |
| 441s | network but overall the priority power |
| 442s | switch is a super super handy little |
| 444s | tool which will drastically reduce the |
| 446s | amount of total factory-wide blackouts |
| 449s | that you'll be experiencing if you take |
| 451s | advantage of it and I highly recommend |
| 452s | you give it a go in update it's |
| 454s | definitely definitely worth it I think |
| 455s | and it's really not that hard to set up |
| 457s | like you might just need to rework some |
| 458s | power cables but it's like it's super |
| 460s | worth it such a great little feature |
| 462s | it's like you got the big Power Tower |
| 464s | it's like the dad and then you got power |
| 466s | party power switch good little boy he |
| 467s | only got a little little pet on the head |
| 469s | I don't know what the I'm talking |
| 471s | about I'm too tired and yes that's |
| 472s | pretty much all I wanted to talk about |
| 473s | today so if you like those two features |
| 475s | leave a like and a comment down below |
| 477s | thanks coffee saying Studios for |
| 478s | Designing amazing features it helps a |
| 480s | lot you can do that let them know that |
| 481s | you appreciate their work and uh yeah |
| 484s | I'll catch you guys next time have a |
| 485s | lovely weekend take care bye |
