How to Build the Space Elevator in Satisfactory 1.0

 

     Hey there, fellow factory fanatics! Are you ready to elevate your Satisfactory game? We’re diving into one of the most important structures in the game—the Space Elevator! This towering beauty not only looks awesome but also unlocks tons of new tech to supercharge your factory. So, let’s get building!

 

    

 

Unlocking the Space Elevator

 

     To get started, unlock the Space Elevator at Tier 0 - HUB Upgrade 6. This is your gateway to constructing this massive structure. Gather your materials: 500 Concrete, 250 Iron Plates, 400 Iron Rods, and 1500 Wires. Once you’ve collected these essentials, whip out your Build Gun and let’s go!

 

    

 

Constructing the Space Elevator

 

     The Space Elevator is a gigantic 54 meters wide, 54 meters long, and an impressive 118 meters tall, covering an area of 2916 m². It’s not just big; it’s a statement piece for your factory! Find a nice flat area to place it, ideally close to your conveyor belts for easy access.

 

    

     Once you’ve selected the perfect spot, lay down that foundation and start placing your materials. Make sure everything aligns properly for a tidy setup! After you finish, step back and admire your handiwork—it’s both functional and a centerpiece of your factory.

 

 

How the Space Elevator Works

 

     So, what does this majestic structure do? The Space Elevator is your key to unlocking Tier 3 and beyond. You can only have one in your game, but if you need to move it, you can dismantle and relocate without losing progress. To send items skyward, you can manually load Project Parts or use conveyor belts for automation.

 

    

     Just remember, once you load an item, it’s gone for good—double-check before sealing that cargo! To launch your materials, drag the handle down in the UI: Load → Seal → Send. Then watch as your cargo platform ascends into the clouds—it’s an epic sight!

 

    

 

Project Assembly Phases

 

     The Space Elevator isn’t just for show; it plays a vital role in the Project Assembly phases. Here’s a quick rundown: Phase 1 requires 50 Smart Plating to unlock Tiers 3 and 4.

 

     Phase 2 needs 1000 Smart Plating, 1000 Versatile Framework, and 100 Automated Wiring to unlock Tiers 5 and 6.

 

     Phase 3 ups the ante with 2500 Versatile Framework, 500 Modular Engines, and 100 Adaptive Control Units to unlock Tiers 7 and 8. Finally,

 

     Phase 4 asks for high-tech goodies like 500 Assembly Director Systems and 250 Thermal Propulsion Rockets, rewarding you with the 'Employee of the Planet' Cup in the AWESOME Shop. Time to gather those materials!

 

     Phase 5 requires 1000 Nuclear Pasta, 1000 Biochemical Sculptor, 256 AI Expansion Server and 200 Ballistic Warp Drives. Pay attention to the fact that this is the final phase that will lead you to the end of your mission on the current planet.

 

    

 

Tips for Success

 

 

     Interact with the Space Elevator from any angle, thanks to its two terminals. When placing it, use observation towers to ensure it’s aligned perfectly. And don’t overproduce early-stage parts—you might find them scarce when you really need them!

 

    

     In conclusion, the Space Elevator is your launching pad to new possibilities in Satisfactory. It’s not just a massive structure; it symbolizes your progress and hard work. Gather your materials and construct your very own Space Elevator! Your factory will thank you, and you’ll be well on your way to unlocking all the amazing technologies waiting for you!
