Level Instances in Satisfactory 1.1 - can it work?

how well do level instances work inside satisfactory? since world partitions and so on? cause i wanted to try out something but im unsure if it will even work properly due to world partition vs level instance. Someone told me it would be more of a flip of the coin whether or not having a level instance inside an already loaded level using world partition would be working.

Asset Dumper Unknown Bytecode 0x0C on /Game/FactoryGame/Buildable/-Shared/WorkBench/BPW_MAM

Trying to dump all assets, mainly because I want to be able to see all the textures and materials in the editor, so I've followed the docs here https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/CommunityResources/AssetToolkit.html When running the dump I get this is the log: ``` [2025.08.18-15.48.00:240][ 42]LogAssetDumper: Display: Serializing asset /Game/FactoryGame/Buildable/-Shared/WorkBench/BPW_MAM...

Anyone know how to edit the nodes of a Research Tree using just ContentLib?

I would like to remove a node from a Research Tree in the MAM. I'd also like to add a new node too. Is it possible to do this with a CDO using just ContentLib? Note: One day i'll look into how to use a full modding environment but for now I'm just using ContentLib....

Solution:

you should really use this if you're working with trees though, the headache is not worth it https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/EditorTools/SMLEditor/ResearchTreeEditor.html...

Using Phase Completion For Recipe Unlock

I have two recipes I want to unlock / become visible when Phase 5 of the Space Elevator is completed, but despite my best efforts I am a bit lost on how to make this work. I've done as much digging for info as I could and found discussions on how to unlock recipes with tiers and vanilla milestones, but nothing on phases. Is this possible, and if it is, how can I go about it?

Help Needed: Adding a Flip Button to Build Menu & Detecting Clicks

Hi everyone! I'm very new to Unreal Engine and modding, so I'm still learning. I want to add a simple button to Satisfactory's build menu that lets players flip conveyors, splitters, and mergers by 180°. Could someone please explain: - How to add the button to the build menu UI? (Do I need to modify an existing widget or create a new one?) - How to detect when it's clicked? (Which class or subsystem should I use to handle the input?)...

Help Jevla get set up, UE failing download

Cross post from Ficsit Labs, more info incoming!

Solution:

I had the same problem too. I fixed it by taking my laptop to my WiFi router and connecting it directly with an Ethernet cable. It might be some kind of WiFi issue—I'm not completely sure.

Persistent Download Issues with Unreal Engine CSS Editor Files

Dear Satisfactory Mod Developer Team, I hope you're doing well. I’ve been trying for several days to install the Unreal Engine CSS Editor files for Satisfactory, specifically: - UnrealEngine-CSS-Editor-Win64-1.bin - UnrealEngine-CSS-Editor-Win64-2.bin ...

Solution:

For licensing reasons we have to host the downloads somewhere that the GitHub auth controls. Could you try downloading it from a different device or over a different internet connection (ex. Public hotspot)?

MAM tree common to several mods

My next mod will be composed of several mods (like my Architecture+ mod). Items will be unlockable via a tree in the MAM. In the base mod (01), there will be the main tree. In the following mods (02, 03, etc.), I would like to be able to add items to the main tree of the base mod (01). The following mods will of course have mod 01 as a dependency...

Enabling Unreal engine plugins?

Hi all, I want to play around with building a Satisfactory mod that uses midi. It looks like Unreal Engine has a plugin system and a Midi plugin - https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/midi-in-unreal-engine However, when I try to enable this, I get an error that the plugin isn't compatible with the version of the engine and I need to rebuild it. I haven't figured out how to do that. The Satisfactory modding tutorials I've done so far have been absolutely fantastic. However, I haven't found one that covers enabling other UE plugins....
