Satisfactory offers many ways to increase factory efficiency, including overclocking facilities with Power Shards. These shards can be crafted by collecting Power Slugs from the wilderness. Overclocking a facility increases its operating speed, power generation, and power consumption, so ensure that the power grid has ample excess capacity before attempting to overclock. Try collecting plenty of Power Slugs to fully power custom blueprints and boost production speed.
1. Power Slugs can be located all over the wilderness, typically in hard-to-reach places.
2. After locating one, hold E to pick it up.
3. Bring the Power Slugs to a Crafting Bench.
4. Locate the Power Shards section.
5. Power slugs have several Rarities, each providing a different amount of Power Shards.
| Icon | MAM Research Name | Produces |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Power Slugs | 1x Power Shard |
|
| Yellow Power Shards | 2x Power Shard |
|
| Purple Power Shards | 5x Power Shard |
6. Select the recipe for the collected slug type, then hold Craft.
7. Bring the Power Shards to any desired facility.
8. Locate the Overclocking section.
9. Place up to 3 Power Shards into their slots.
10. Drag the Power Slider to modify how efficiently the facility will work.
Note: Overclocking a facility increases the power it generates/consumes. Try overclocking generators first to provide more power.
