As you continue expanding your base in the starting regions of Satisfactory 1.0, you’ll require more resources and an easy way to do that is by overclocking all the machines at your disposal.
By increasing the clock speed of machines, you increase their efficiency to produce more resources in less time. The best thing about this feature is that it can double the resources produced from a single piece of machinery and doesn’t require you to increase their counts.
How to Overclock in Satisfactory
To unlock Clock speed, you must achieve that through the Power Slugs Research chain in the Molecular Analysis Machine (MAM). You’ll need the following items to unlock the Clock speed:
- 1x Power Shard
- 50x Iron Plate
- 50x Wire
To unlock a Power Shard, you have to collect either of the Blue, Yellow, or Purple Power Slugs. They appear on the map in plenty, so it won’t be a hassle collecting these bugs. Then complete the Yellow Power Slugs Research first, it will take 3 seconds and unlock the Power Shard to craft it from the Crafting Bench or Constructor.
To craft Iron Plate and Wire, set up a process that will extract Iron and Copper Ore and automatically convert them to these required materials. If you don’t have an automated system, you can do it manually from the Crafting Bench.
How to overclock a machine in Satisfactory 1.0
To overclock a machine, all you need to do is:
- Go to a machine and open its interface (it can be a Miner or a Power Generator).
- Insert a Power Shard.
- You can either drag the slider to the right or enter a percentage to overclock the machine.
In the same way, you can underclock a machine — simply drag the slider to the left and the production rate will reduce.
However, make sure you have enough power to support overclocking machines in Satisfactory. If you’re running on limited power, be prepared for a Fuse Break and the entire production process will come to a halt.
The best machine to overclock in Satisfactory 1.0 would be the Miners. They will extract more resources such as Copper and Iron ore, which you can then put to use in different aspects such as manufacturing Iron Plates, Wires, Iron Rods, Screws, and a lot more.
