IT'S FINALLY HERE!

After years of waiting, and tons of work, debugging, changing everything, I've finally reached the stage where I'm ready to share the new Tools that many people have eagerly been waiting for.

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/

Features

This list could be so long, but I'll just point out a few big features that you might like:

• Support for any game version, different nodes, purities, recipe and power cost multipliers, etc.
• Fully automatic calculation, including power, overclocking, sloops, sink points
• But also, fully manual calculation, if you choose to do so - everything can be edited, nodes can be added by hand, connected by dragging resources from one to another, etc.
• Subplans! Convert a few existing nodes into a subplan, you can use them to represent blueprints, factories, outposts, whatever you want. You can even have subplans in subplans!
• Folders for plans - organise all your production into folders, you can have plans in a folder share settings, or even share raw resources, all plans taking from single pool of raw resources
• Marking nodes as done - as simple as selecting and pressing enter, a checkmark appears and you'll see that you have already built those machines
• User accounts - make an account to have all your plans and settings shared to the account. Single click is enough - you can login through Steam, Google, Discord or Github. Email/password combination is also available if you're that type of person. No more worrying about losing data when cleaning browser cookies
• Loading data from save - you can load your settings from your save, and have it automatically set all recipes and machines
• Panels - tons of panels to move around, or even undock and have free-floating windows. Programmers will see tons of similarities with IDEs, that's intentional
• Desktop app - fully offline-capable app you can install on your device, plan offline, data is synced to account when you go online (if you're logged in)
• Phone support - now possible to plan on phone and touch devices, UI fully accessible on those devices (as much as I could manage on those small screens)
• Customisation - fully customisable settings for almost anything you can imagine. Just check the settings in top right corner and see what you can set.
• Mod support - kinda experimental functionality, but in the future I hope to add modded recipes for popular mods - do you have a mod you want to add? Ask for it in Discord server!

Screenshots

Images can tell more than words, so here's a few screenshots of things you may find interesting

Closing words

I hope you enjoy this project as much as I enjoy working on it.

Old tools remain accessible at https://www.satisfactorytools.com/old/1.0/, but they will be there only for a little longer (I'm guessing around a month), before I retire them. Plans can be migrated automatically in new Tools.

Please do give feedback if you find something broken or if you like the tool. Join the Discord server for more info and a great community!

Special thanks to all the beta testers who provided feedback and made the tool to be what it is now. And I hope in the future it'll be even better!

The tool is fully free, and will never run any ads. If it saves you time, and you want to give something back, consider donating. Donations help me cover server costs and development time.

Stay efficient, and enjoy!

All of this wouldn't have been possible without the community, we also want to send a special thanks to -Doug, nova_tech, SpaceGameDev, and Temporal_Illusion.

They have been in charge of this whole setup and are the true MVPs of this very first community challenge.

You can also check out the Reddit thread for this if you want to send them some extra love.

When MOOD started working on the Board Game and we started collaborating with them, they made it clear from the beginning that they wanted to shape the game with the actual Satisfactory community in mind...

And as you can see here, these might be familiar faces to you and it’s because they are some of our amazing community content creators:

• Bitz
• Gaming with Doc
• TotalXclipse
• Satisfactory News

They were invited to visit the MOOD Publishing studio to get an early look at the board game!

We’re very glad they got this opportunity as we know they are very dedicated Satisfactory enthusiasts who can definitely give some good insight on how the board game can be a Satisfactory experience

During their visit, they were able to play through the game, building factories amidst banter and chaos unfolding as you would expect, minus the conveyor belt spaghetti

MOOD mentioned it was interesting to see how people who know Satisfactory so well approach something like this and they were really happy they got them all to be among the first to try it and they will take their feedback into consideration to shape things

What they got to play was the first manufactured sample of the preview

But of course, it has been a long process MOOD to get here, below you can see some pretty creative uses of cardboard in the early prototype versions!

Before the artwork started coming together and a lot of polish came in, there were plenty of paper pieces, rough ideas and placeholders in shapes you wouldn’t expect, as you can see here, Valheim standees were the first placeholders for the creatures

MOOD has changed things a lot since those early prototypes, different mechanics have been tested, changed, scrapped and reworked to figure out how to capture what makes Satisfactory work as a tabletop game. Just like optimizing your factory in the game, getting everything to work well takes a few iterations.

We wanted to share these behind-the-scenes images of the prototype version so you can also appreciate how far along the board game has come since, which you can compare with the trailer at the start of this post

And now that the campaign is out on Gamefound, You can click here to visit and support the game

We wish the best to our friends at MOOD with the campaign and we can’t wait to play this more ourselves.

Oh yeah and if you made it this far down the post you can also check out our latest video where we talk about the board game and other random stuff like extra details on the Core Values DLC Expansion we announced the other day hehe
