Satisfactorycombines elements of automation, resource gathering, and base building to create the most “satisfying” experience that a gamer can get. There are a lot of different items in the game that the player can slowly unlock through one of two progression routes.
TheNobelisk Detonatoris an item thatplayers can unlock fairly early on. It makes for an effective weapon against enemies, getting rid of swarms easily. However, its main purpose is toclear certain types of debristhat can stop the player from placing buildings or passing through cave openings.
How to Unlock Nobelisk Detonator in Satisfactory
The Nobelisk Detonator can be found inthe Sulfur MAM research tree, and it can be unlocked quite early on. There are only two required nodes to gain access to the Nobelisk Detonator research node, which costsx50 Black Powder, x100 Steel Pipe, and x200 Cableto unlock.
If you haven’t unlocked coal through the MAM, you can gain the ability to scan for it by unlocking the Coal Power Milestone, which costsx150 Reinforced Iron Plate, x50 Rotor, and x500 Cable. It is also a Tier 3 Milestone.
Since you need Steel Pipes to unlock this device, you’ll need to progress to theBasic Steel Production Milestone in Tier 3before trying to get the Nobelisk Detonator. Players need to complete phase 1 of project assembly and spendx50 Modular Frame, x150 Rotor, x500 Concrete, and x1000 Wireto achieve this milestone.
How to Craft Nobelisk Detonator in Satisfactory
Since the Nobelisk Detonator is apiece of equipment, it needs to be crafted at theEquipment Workbench. Players needx1 Object Scanner, x10 Steel Beam, and x50 Cableto make this item. However, to use the Nobelisk Detonator, players alsoneed to craft its ammo, the Nobelisk.
There are multiple types of Nobelisks in the game, each one getting progressively more explosive. However, the basic Nobelisk costsx2 Black Powder and x2 Steel Pipefor each piece. Thankfully, the production of the ammo can be automated through an Assembler. Since all variants of the Nobelisk require the basic version, it’s a good idea to automate it as soon as possible, so players can obtain the better variants as soon as possible after unlocking them.
x1 Coal and x1 Sulfur make x2 Black Powder in an Assembler, while Steel Pipes canbe made from Steel Ingotsusing a Constructor. Combine the two products in an Assembler and configure it to Nobelisk to automate ammo production for the Nobelisk Detonator.
How to Automate Nobelisk Production in Satisfactory
To create a supply line from the ground up for automating the production of Nobelisks, you’ll need to follow the given steps:
There isn’t a reason to optimize this setup, since you won’t use that many Nobelisks in your playthrough. However, if you really need to ramp up your production of Nobelisks, here’s what you need to do toobtain 60 Nobelisks per minute.
x8 Assembler
15 MW/Assembler
x2 Foundry
16MW/Foundry
x4 Constructor
x8 Reinforced Iron Place, x32 Cable
4MW/Constructor
This will give you a total output of 60 Nobelisks each minute, letting you amass a vast storage of the explosive devices. You can use these bombs on their own or unlock more of the Sulfur Research tree to gain access to better versions of the explosives. These can be crafted using your ridiculous storage of Nobelisks.
