Satisfactory: 10 Best Mods For The Open-World Simulation Game
Simulation games fall under the perfect umbrella for the modding community. The open-ended nature of the format allows players to imagine new ways to expand what is already provided to them. One of the best games to dabble with mods in is Satisfactory, the open-world factory-building game by Coffee Stain Studios.
There are quite a few types of mods that players could look to adding, such as enhancing the look of the factories built or changing the way the game is played. Other mods simply add objects that can make creating factories more interesting and rewarding. No matter what players are looking for, there's a mod for that.
10 Decoration
The factories themselves can be beautiful by themselves, and sometimes they just aren't. To help with this, mods like the "Decoration" mod come in handy. Decoration does something unique as it doesn't actually add anything new to the game. Instead, it pulls different natural flora players can find in the game and allows the player to place them around the factory.
This means that 86 different trees, 84 different rocks, and 40 different corals have been made available to decorate the exterior of the factory to make it feel more one with the environment.
9 Fluid Extra
Those looking for more pipes to use and a packaging plant that isn't as costly should look no further than the "Fluid Extras" mod. The eight mods that are added in this pack are not so much new in terms of use but they have a unique look that can improve the aesthetic of a factory.
On top of this, two super helpful elements that are being worked on for the mod are the Mini Water Extractor and the A.I. Fluid Packer. The water extractor can fit into small amounts of water and can greatly reduce power. The fluid packer is still being worked on but will simplify the packaging workflow.
8 Teleporter
Moving around the map can be a bit time-consuming and tedious, especially when trying to get a task done as soon as possible. Something that could help is a device that can teleport the player around. In the "Teleporter" mod, players will unlock the ability to make a teleporter once they reach tier five.
When placing a teleporter, players will be prompted to give the teleporter a name. This is to help identify it when using another teleporter to try to get to it. It's important to note that the mod is not functional in multiplayer.
7 Passive Mode
Despite the focus on building factories in the game, there is a combat system implemented into Satisfactory that can reap some nice rewards supply-wise. With the various monsters lurking around the player, it's easy for some to feel like they can't just focus on the fun of the sandbox gameplay.
The "Passive Mode" mod completely gets rid of all of the monsters in the game as well as removes the toxic gas that exists near some of the plants and rocks. This is the perfect mod for those that just want some peace while creating factories.
6 Pak Utility Mod
Some mods are known for making games much more flexible and even more accessible to people and the "Pak Utility Mod" is no exception to this. The add-on gives players a ton of commands that can help the player see their factory from different perspectives but also allows them to experience the game in different ways.
Its primary command is "!fly" which allows players to take flight as they get an overhead look of their factory. There are also commands for keeping the player immune, unlocking all research, and getting rid of building costs. In other words, these are cheats.
5 Minimap
The open world is fun to navigate, but finding the way back home could be difficult. Why not have a map open at all times as the journey happens? In the "Minimap" mod, players can take full advantage of the world map while moving around the environment.
Once activated in the game's UI setting, players can press M to toggle it on and off. From there, players can drag the minimap anywhere they want it on the screen. Players can also use it to zoom in on specific areas of the map.
4 Logistics 2.0
There is a science to conveyor belts in real-life factories, so there should be a bit more flexibility in how the production flows throughout the player's system. Players who looking for a bit more flexibility with the belts in the game should install "Logistics 2.0."
This adds machines called the Itemthrottles that change the number of items that should pass through by minute, allowing for a more even production line that doesn't overflow. The Overflowtoggle simply checks for overflow and streamlines the movement process. The Overview Terminal controls the Itemthrottles.
3 MK++
Factories can always be more productive than they are and what can help is adding more buildings that can increase the efficiency of the overall output. That's where the "MK++" mod comes in. The main focus of the add-on is to add additional tiers to systems that are already in the game.
Many of the types of buildings received three new variants. This includes Constructor, Refinery, Foundry, Smelter, Manufacturer, Assembler, and much more. While efficiency increases greatly with each tier, players need to be aware of the power the more efficient tiers draw.
2 Ficsit Farming Mod
As of the writing of this article, the "Ficsit Farming Mod" is a few months outdated but there is no indication an update won't be coming to the mod sometime soon as the project was recently started. By installing this, players will be able to grow a variety of different crops from wheat to berries.
Growing these ingredients can help put together recipes that are also available for players to use. In addition to all the crops, various tools and buildings were added to the game including a greenhouse, a cooker, and a composter. With this, the game becomes just like other real-life sims.
1 Refined Power
Another mod that hasn't been updated in a few months as of the time of writing, the "Refined Power" mod is among the most used mods in the Satisfactory community. From the creators of the Ficsit Farming Mod, this add-on offers 26 custom buildings that can add different kinds of power sources to the game.
Those looking to power their factories with wind can now install wind turbines. Those who are looking to go solar now can install panels. Other power sources include water turbines, heaters, boilers, generators, reactors, and more.
