Satisfactory Production Amplifier: Output Doubling & Power Surge
Wondering what is the best Satisfactory Somersloop use? Slotted into machines, each Somersloop acts as a production amplifier, doubling finished goods without costing extra raw materials. Here is how the Satisfactory Somersloop multiplier and the 4× power surge work.
Building Slot Costs & Power Surge
Each manufacturing machine requires a fixed number of Somersloops to achieve 2× output. While active, the machine consumes exactly 4.0× its baseline power.
| Building | Sloops | Base Power | Amplified Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| Constructor | 1 Sloop | 4 MW | 16 MW |
| Assembler | 2 Sloops | 15 MW | 60 MW |
| Manufacturer | 4 Sloops | 55 MW | 220 MW |
| Refinery | 2 Sloops | 30 MW | 120 MW |
| Blender | 4 Sloops | 75 MW | 300 MW |
| Particle Accelerator | 4 Sloops | 500–1,500 MW | 2,000–6,000 MW |
| Quantum Encoder | 4 Sloops | 2,000 MW | 8,000 MW |

Top Priorities: Best Items to Double
Thermal Propulsion Rockets, Nuclear Pasta, Ballistic Warp Drives, and Assembly Director Systems. Doubling these cuts hundreds of factory hours and millions of raw ores.
Halves your manufacturer footprint and saves thousands of steel pipes, encased industrial beams, and modular frame sub-assemblies.
Drastically reduces circuit board, high-speed connector, and caterium quickwire factory line requirements.
Eliminates the need to duplicate complex rotor, stator, radio control unit, and packaged cooling system sub-factories.
Waste of Sloops: Never Amplify
Raw ore is virtually limitless across the map. Wasting 1 Somersloop for 30 extra iron ingots is heavily inefficient compared to advanced components.
These items should be eliminated entirely using alternate recipes (Cast Screw / Stitched Plate), not amplified with precious finite Somersloops.
In 1.0, Somersloops cannot physically be slotted into Miners, Oil Extractors, Resource Well Pressurizers, or Water Extractors.
Power Generators do not accept Somersloops in 1.0. Construct dedicated Alien Power Augmenters to multiply grid capacity instead.
Satisfactory Alien Power Augmenter: Global Grid Multiplier
Built with 10 Somersloops, each Satisfactory Alien Power Augmenter gives you 500 MW of clean base electricity plus an instant +10% to +30% capacity boost across your entire connected power grid.
Alien Power Augmenter Specifications
Tier 9 Alien Power Generation & Global Grid Boost
Flat Clean Electricity
Each Augmenter generates 500 MW of clean baseline electricity with zero fuel required. Connect it directly to your primary power grid with a single cable.
Global Power Amplification
Multiplies the total electrical generation of your entire connected power network by +10%. On a 20,000 MW turbofuel grid, one Augmenter gives an extra +2,000 MW bonus for free.
Matrix Supercharging
Inputting Alien Power Matrices (manufactured from SAM Ore) at 5/min supercharges the Augmenter, boosting the grid percentage amplification from +10% up to +30%.
Augmenter Stacking Math (50,000 MW Nuclear Grid Example)
Augmenters stack additively. Constructing 4 Alien Power Augmenters (40 Somersloops total) on a 50,000 MW Nuclear Grid yields:
