Animation Help
So I made this entire crucible building in blender. After a bunch of research and animating this thing three different ways five different times... I finally got it into UE. I landed on, one armature, with 11 bones. 1 for the sliding car, 1 for the vertical motion, one for the crucible. 2 for the front and 2 for the back chains. 2 for a bezle curve for the front chain and 2 for a bezle curve for the back chain. The chains themselves are made with array modifiers which change the length bas...
Wwise installation issues?
Im following the guide to get my modding environment set up and im attempting to add wwise to my starter project. My issue comes up in this part of the documentation in the attached picture. The guide tells me to modify wwise if im missing anything and wwise is saying im missing "Windows_vc140". however when i click on "Modify Wwise" i see no way to install that sdk. Ive tried clicking though the modify step several times but that only removed the previous apple dependency. What am i missing?
Solution:
very old launcher
Unexpected crash after mod deletion
I made a mod for testing the Modding of Satisfactory. After im ready with all i create a new one (the real one 😉 ) and deleted my test mod from the games mod folder. After i loaded my test savegame i got a crash (see image below).
I just made Static Meshes. Nothing special.
I hope this is helpfull because the docs says that every object from a mod which is not there anymore will be automatically removed from the savegame/world....
Override dismantle event
I want to add some custom dismantle logic but when I add handling for the dismantle event, the machine is no longer destroyed. I tried to get the parent Buildable Actor and call Dismantle on that, but that didn't help. How do I make sure that default logic is executed even if I override the event handling?
Solution:
Right click the red node, and look for an option that says "add call to parent function"
Material for generated icon doesn't show
Coming back to this after the weekend, when using Beaver's icons generator, whether in batch mode or in raw scene mode, it doesn't show the material. I initially thought it was because Unreal isn't aware of the textures but after changing the placeholders with the real ones, it still doesn't show up
Space elevator parts MOD
Hi all, i need some help with creating a mod.
What i am trying to do is to change the space elevator amount needed for a phase (like the existing, broken mod). I think CDO (https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/BeginnersGuide/overwriting.html) is the way forward, but when using it the amounts does not get updated:
This function (in the image) will get called via chat option (the chat command works already)....
Ocean Material
Does anyone know what material is used for the new 1.0 oceans? I made a buildable with a child actor of class
BP_Water, and assigned the MM_Ocean material from the prototype folder where the new lake material is, but it doesn't appear to be the same. It looks like this compared to the ocean water in-game:Solution:
You'll need to tweak the properties of each instance of
BP_Water that you spawn. They have different material instances depending on which type of water you want to use, and several floats and linear colors to configure the materials.
Fixing Train behavior ?
Good evening, and sorry for my bad english, i try my best 😉
I hope this is the correct place to ask this, if not, i am realy sorry for this.
I've been wanting to fix a small issue for a long time, and I've finally decided to take the plunge.
I read a lot of things, but there are still a few questions I can't find the answers to.
I'd like to solve a problem that a lot of people are talking about regarding train behavior: "why are they not looking for an alternative path if the first path have a red light signal"....
Map textures for custom levels
As the title says, how would one generate map textures for a custom level, in the style of base game's textures? (see screenshot) In addition, how would one use said textures without having to reimplement map fog?
Material_UI_MapFog has non-parameter references to the four sliced map textures, but we do not have the actual implementation of the material in the starter project.
How to filter items from BP_Config_Property_Class?
Hey all!
Using the ModConfiguration class, I created the Section Properties using the
BP Config Property Class, it's limiting by the Base Class FGEquipmentDescriptor.
The issue is that I couldn't find any way to filter out even more items from that list....Solution:
For future references, basically how to achieve this:
Create your own Widget Class extending
Widget_CP_Base (you can copy the whole Widget_CP_Class)
- Here you will edit how the widget get the data and display it in the dropdown box (In my case I prepared the data in my game instance so I could re-use to validate the user input).

How do I get the building descriptor of a building that's not unlocked yet?
First, I used a Recipe Manager to get all recipes. I grouped them by "Get Produced In" which gives me a set of ~8 buildables (FGBuildable Class Reference). I then used the Recipe Manager's "Find Building Descriptor by Class", but it only returns Building Descriptors (FGBuildingDescriptor Class Reference) for constructor and assembler because those are the only buildings I can actually build in the game (things like the Manufacturer are not unlocked yet).
However, in my mod I would like to show icons of all available machines even if they're not unlocked yet. Do you have any idea how to achieve that?...
Solution:
Use
FindNativeClassesByType of class FGRecipe, it returns all recipes, unlocked or not. Note that there are still a few broken recipes in game (and possibly included with some mods), so you'll want to do IsValid checks on all recipes and descriptors before calling functions on them because they might be null or have have null data in them.
