How to make an efficient Versatile Framework setup in Satisfactory

In Satisfactory, it’s important to have an efficient Versatile Framework factory up and running pretty early. In fact, you’ll use Versatile Frameworks throughout every phase of Satisfactory, including needing a staggering 2,500 of them as part of your Phase 3 completion. Here is how to make an efficient Versatile Framework setup in Satisfactory to cover your needs.

Best Versatile Framework Factory in Satisfactory

This efficient Versatile Framework setup for Satisfactory will produce a total of 10 Versatile Framework every 10 minutes, which will be enough to last you throughout all of Satisfactory. The only resource requirements for this factory is 240 Coal per minute, and a total of 360 Iron Ore per minute. Depending on the quality of nodes in which you setup this factory, you can achieve this with just a single Coal and Iron Ore Miner. Keep in mind you can also Overclock the Miners to reach the output you need.

Regardless of how you acquire the resources needed, here are all the buildings for the factory that you will need to construct to get this factory up and running, in case you want to add them to your to-do list:

• 4 Smelters
• 6 Foundries
• 14 Constructors
• 7 Assemblers

Once you have all the materials needed to construct the buildings, it’s time to begin building your Versatile Framework factory. Start from the point in which you have both your Coal and Iron Ore being brought in. First, let’s start with the Iron Ore. Send the Iron Ore into a Splitter that splits the Iron Ore three ways, then immediately reconnect two of the three using a Merger. This is so you will have 240 Iron Ore / min going one way, and 120 Iron Ore / min going a separate way.

In the direction that the 240 Iron Ore/min is going, place your 6 Foundries. Set them all to produce Steel Ingots. Make sure you’re also splitting your incoming Coal to go to each of the 6 Foundries, as well. The best way to input all resources into buildings is by using manifolds. Underclock one of the Foundries to 40% if you want pure efficiency.

Next, build four Constructors after the Foundries, and feed all of the Steel Ingots you are producing at the Foundries into the four Constructors, each making Steel Beams.

With all your Coal and 2/3 of your Iron Ore going to the Foundries, it’s time to go back to the other 120 Iron Ore / min and put it to use. Build four Smelters each producing Iron Ingots, and connect your 120 Iron Ore / min to it using a splitter manifold. Split the outgoing Iron Ingots with 52.5 units / min going one way, and 67.5 units / min going the other way.

With the 52.5 Iron Ingots / min, place 4 Constructors all crafting Iron Rods, with one of them Underclocked to 50%. Send 22.5 Iron Rods / min to 3 more Constructors making Screws.

Switch back to the other 6.5 Iron Ingots you’re producing, and have them all going into 3 Constructors building Iron Plates. Underclock one of these to 30% to be as efficient as possible.

Next, build 2 Assembler’s, with one of them Underclocked to 50%. Set both of them to produce Reinforced Iron Plates, then feed them with your produced Iron Plates using a splitter manifold, and then feed all of the Screws you are producing into them as well.

After these two Assemblers, place another 3 Assemblers, and set one to Underclock at 50%. Set all of these to make Modular Frames. Now, use Splitter Manifolds to feed your Reinforced Iron Plates and the remaining 30 Iron Rods per minute that you are producing from earlier into the Modular Frame Assemblers.

Finally, create two new Assemblers both running at 100%, and set them to make your Versatile Framework. Use Splitter Manifolds to feed them the Modular Frames you just setup, as well as all the Steel Beams you setup earlier. Each of these two Assemblers will create 5 Versatile Framework per minute, giving you the total of 10 Versatile Framework per minute.

This is the most efficient setup for producing Versatile Framework in Satisfactory. It should be all you need, but if you want to produce more for any reason, simply create an identical factory to the one you just built. Just keep in mind this entire setup will consume about 350 MW of power, which can be a hefty amount until you get Oil Production going.+
