This method serves as your world grid marker, allowing you to plan your factory and structures accordingly. An added advantage of this building technique is the ability to connect more distant structures to your primary foundation with perfect alignment.

You may need to incorporate a few ramps to address height variations, but in terms of direction and rotation, all your factories will align impeccably, making connections effortless.

The world grid remains consistent throughout Satisfactory. While it may feel a bit unusual compared to manually placing each foundation with rotation options, the structural alignment is invaluable as your factories grow in size.

Following the launch of Satisfactory 1.0, several new network issues have arisen. Although there are numerous improvements, if you encounter API difficulties with your servers in Satisfactory, consider updating your ports.
