Adding smoke emitter on object

I've been trying to make a small decoration mod that adds a variant of the new fan buildable. It's supposed to emit smoke, but the Development Guide doesn't really cover that so if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Trying to export a model into Blender

Hey guys, i'm trying to import a model into blender. I've followed the guide to extract game files (https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/ExtractGameFiles.html), but when loading into blender, the model is low-poly. It might be an error on the importing, as i'm also not good with blender. What should i try?

Solution:

Okay, sorry about that, i used a LOD3 (which is low quality) instead of LOD0.

FGRecipeManager::GetAllRecipes() always returns empty array for clients

Early and Free Blueprint Desingers scans all recipes to find one content-tagged in order to determine which to make free. This has to happen client side too, otherwise clients think the recipe costs more than it truly does. However, this function always seems to return nothing (no warnings) on clients, even waiting and trying again later. How else can clients get a full list of recipes? Or is there another approach that should be taken here? ``` [2025.06.16-02.48.16:186][149]LogEarlyAndFreeBlueprintDesigner: Warning: [/EarlyAndFreeBlueprintDesigner/RootGameWorld_EarlyAndFreeBlueprintDesigner]: 0 recipes returned? trying again later in load [2025.06.16-02.48.17:191][315]LogEarlyAndFreeBlueprintDesigner: Display: [/EarlyAndFreeBlueprintDesigner/RootGameWorld_EarlyAndFreeBlueprintDesigner]: # recipes to scan: 0...

Solution:

looks like mod content registry isn't empty for clients, so using that

Crash when hooking player inventory widget appearing on the main menu

This one's a bit weird... - Custom Player Inventory's config widget has a player inventory widget for previewing purposes. - If I hook Construct using the new SML hooking system, it results in the attached crash when I visit the config from the main menu, no matter what the hook code is. - The crash doesn't happen from the game world (and the hook works correctly) - If I remove my hook, the player inventory widget alone doesn't crash the game from the main menu...

Request to Become a Mod Developer

Hi! I would like to become a Mod Developer, but I don't see the "Become a Mod Developer" button on my ficsit.app profile. Could you help me enable SDK access? My profile: https://ficsit.app/user/DPsWruHNfqe2K9
Thank you!...

Solution:

Creating an account on ficsit.app (SMR) is a good first step, but you will need to also "create a mod" I suggest starting here: The "SDK" or as we call it "SME" Satisfactory Modding Environment doesn't require someone to approve you. https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/BeginnersGuide/index.html...

My mod Multipurpose Generator not working in 1.1 only on server and multiplayer

This mod works very well in single player but @ChristmasChrist told me that the game freezes as soon as he places a conveyor in it.

Extracting full source code

How can I get the full source code for certain game .cpp files? I want to learn more about the mechanics of saving blueprints by the blueprint designer and for that I want to see the full source code of FGBuildableBlueprintDesigner. I may also need to extract source code of other files.

Solution:

That's the neat part. You don't. CPP compilation is a one way process to turn human readable code into machine instructions. Using the headers, pdb files, and a decompiler like ADA or Ghidra you can figure out what those machine instructions are and attempt to map them onto human readable variables and functions. But you don't ever get the actual .cpp unless someone gives it to you....

Wwise build error

Hi, I'm trying to build UEVR enhancements for 1.1. However I'm getting a strange error seemingly related to wwise. Visual studio manages to build the project completely, even after a clean. But when trying to Alpakit it fails. The mod has been updated to support 1.1 so it should compile properly. I'm also able to build the example mod fully so I'm really not sure what I have missed during the update process. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you...

Solution:

Managed to fix it in a way. Ended up deleting the whole starter project and redoing setup. Clearly something in the cache was broken but not entirely sure what broke. Anyway it's no longer an issue for me, but not exactly a nice solution

Help Packaging The Example Mod

Running the Alphakit for the Example Mod results in the UE editor returning the follow error code LogAlpakit: Error: [Package ExampleMod] RunUAT.bat ERROR: Visual studio and/or AutomationTool.csproj was not found, nor was Engine\Binaries\DotNET\AutomationTool\AutomationTool.dll. Can't run the automation tool. LogAlpakit: Display: [Package ExampleMod] BUILD FAILED LogAlpakit: Error: [Package ExampleMod] Packaging failed with ExitCode=1...

Solution:

Seems that was the issue, a corrupted ue editor. I think what happened was some type of issue arised because I installed a newer editor version ontop of the previous one. So what i had to do was uninstall the previous editor and reinstall the newer editor and thats what fixed the issue.

ToDo List Assistance

If anyone has a moment to assist researching Functions or Properties associated to the ToDo List.

Weird glitches in 1.1 unreal editor

I've finished setting up the tools for 1.1 mod dev, but when I open the .uproject (after integrating wwise, and compiling the project on VS) I get a small warning and no matter what I do the editor then goes crazy (see screenshots)

Solution:

Caused by an nvidia option (MFAA) see: https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/black-screen-weird-acting-of-ue-5-flickering/569292/5...

Can't get ContentLib RecipePatches to work

I can't manage to get ContentLib RecipePatches to work, I tried to copy the example from the docs, but the recipe for Solid Biofuel stays unchanged. SchematicPatches work just fine (in fact I made the milestone for Solid Biofuel free so that I could test it). Here are the example given and the change I was trying to use (neither works) and the working Schematic. The path to the folder of the recipes is:...

Solution:

I just figured out the problem, when I created the file automatically it used LF instead of CLRF that it uses when I create it manually, that's why it failed and the issue was inperceptible.

An item with the same key has already been added. Key: FGServerRequestHandler

I have completely wiped and redone every step multiple times and yet that error will not go away along with a few involving wwise. Output log attached:

Solution:

This problem was caused by not properly backing up the old Unreal Engine version when updating from 5.3.2-CSS-66 to 5.3.2-CSS-68. In the future, the process for backing up the old engine version is covered here: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/UpdatingToNewVersions.html#_back_up_your_old_engine To fix this problem uninstall the CSS custom Unreal Engine version, delete anything left behind in the old install folder, then install it again.

Satisfactory Crashes After Packaging Mod

I was following the modding documentation on creating a mod https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/BeginnersGuide/SimpleMod/gameworldmodule.html#ModReference and after packaging a mod with alpakit (I have it set to launch the game after packaging) It starts loading satisfactory, but before it can load up the main menu the game crashes. The Satisfactory loading screen shows up, but only for a second before crashing.

Build fails for FactoryGame in Visual Studio

I've been following the modding documentation (https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/BeginnersGuide/project_setup.html) and doing everything as instructed. I downloaded the files and integrated them with Wwise. I've selected the Development Editor option in the dropdowns, however when I go to build FactoryGame the build fails, just giving me the code 6 error and 1 warning. The warning says "Modules must specify an explicit precompiled header (eg. PrivatePCHHeaderFile = "Private/Widgets/ProjectedResultColumn.h") from UE 4.21 onwards."...
