Goals and tips for level 4
After the completion of the first phase of the space elevator project SatisfactoryYou will unlock Tiers 3 and 4, both of which unlock Milestones with features needed to expand your factory and deliver more Space Elevator parts.

Satisfactory: Level 3 Progression Tips
Here is a guide to progressing through Tier 3 satisfactorily, including every Milestone in this tier, what it unlocks, and how to complete it.
While Tier 3 and 4 are unlocked simultaneously, Tier 4 Milestones require materials unlocked in Tier 3, so they should be completed in order. Below, we’ll take a look at each Tier 4 Milestone, how to complete it, and some tips for completing this tier.
Level 4 Major Event
Milestone Level 4 unlocks expanded factory infrastructure, blueprints, and automated wiring for the Space Elevator. All of these milestones use some form of steel, so you'll want to complete at least Key Stage 3: Basic Steel Production first one.
Here are each of the Level 4 milestones and how to complete them.

Build Gun Upgrade: Blueprint Blueprint Mk.1 Designer |
Blueprints are an extremely useful feature when building large factories. To use blueprints, first build a blueprint area using 15 modular structures, 25 cables, 100 concrete, and 100 steel beams. This will place Cube 32m x 32m x 32m That you can create. Once you have created it, you can create it. Save the pattern to a blueprint To be used elsewhere
This is very useful when creating repetitive parts of a factory, such as a smelting chain, fabrication plant, and assembly plant.

The Logistics Mk.3 Milestone unlocks a third speed of the conveyor, capable of transporting up to 270 items per minuteThis is important when you unlock. Miner Mk.2Which on pure nodes will produce 240 items per minuteWhich was more than the Mk.2 belt could handle.
action Industrial storage containers It is also very useful for storing large amounts of items, such as: concrete and Steel plate For making foundations or Steel beam For your Mk.3 belt

Advanced Steel Production Unlocked The most important building on this floor is the Miner Mk.2.. This miner is Twice as fast as Miner Mk.1Allows you to produce twice as many materials as the base model, which allows you to expand your resource nodes further and more fundamentally. Twice the size of your original factory–
Metal cladding beams, stators, and motors are all important materials that are later used in buildings, so it is good. Start stocking up on them now.. Automatic wiring system is The third component for phase 2 of the space elevator.So it's a good idea to start thinking about how to produce the 100 needed to complete this step.

Expanded energy infrastructure allows you to build Tower of PowerThese work similarly to utility poles, but allow you to: Extend the distance between buildingsIt is ideal for connecting your electrical system between multiple remote locations.
Another use of Power Towers is that they can be used as Use with ziplines To move much faster than using standard electric poles because Increase the distance between the polesBuilding power towers on slopes also allows you to move much faster between towers, resulting in faster travel between locations.

Goals and tips for level 4
Your first goal in level 4 is to complete the mission. Advanced steel production Important events and Unlock Miner Mk.2Then you should go around all your current nodes and Change to Miner Mk.2sThis will give you more freedom to design and expand your factory.
With an additional supply of steel, you can start a small factory that produces steel-only parts, such as:
Modular frame
–
Reinforcing steel plate
and
Rotor
Easily
Remember, the more machines you add to your factory, You'll need more power to give them.If you haven’t already, now would be a good time to build a coal-fired power plant to power your plant. If you already have a power plant installed, this might be a good idea as well. Expand to support future energy needs–
You also want to start building automated production lines for the three components of Phase 2 of the Space Elevator: 1000 intelligent plating, 1000 multi-purpose structures and 100 automatic wiring. You can use yours. Smart plating plant from phase 1 And let it slowly flow in as you build factories for Versatile Framework and Automated Wiring.
You will need a lot of iron for this process and in the future, so it is a good idea to set up iron factories wherever there is coal. These factories will be useful in the future and can be expanded in the future.
