Any details you can give me from that zip file @FICSIT-Fred
what problem are you having? there doesn't seem to be a crash

Please do not overuse my commands in public chat, as it can get spammy pretty quickly. You can DM me and it will work the same. If you're seeing this because you were using the
>mod command a bunch, it's much easier to just search ficsit.app yourself.No there’s no crash but just wanted to see if the log showed anything untoward. I don’t really understand what it all means.
Fred doesn't know everything about logs. Fred will tell you the same thing in DMs, btw 😉
Well I’m biting the bullet and doing a complete fresh install again. I even turned mods off and was having issues, this was after verifying files
What issues? We may be able to tell you more if we know more details
No crashes, just I can’t move after I place a BP, I use just-fly redux and it’s worked fine, everything worked fine prior to 1.0.0.5…and now 0.6.
I’ve a feeling it’s a mod conflict. But I haven’t got any mods installed that say incompatible.
I’ve tried disabling all recently installed mods, which wasn’t really that many and I had them installed prior to 0.5 update anyway.
In the Bp designer I applied a swatch, the bp I place down comes out all in black except the concrete floor and all my swatch slots are just solid black except for the chrome, caterium etc row.
If I respawn after this happens then I can move but cannot enable flying by dbl tap space. with
What I’ve recently done is done a fresh install of both satisfactory and SMM but I failed to delete the database of what mods are installed and enabled to which profiles as they all came up as they were before the uninstall.
I moved the bp files from the save game folder before uninstall and have placed them into new install save bp folder to see if it was just a case of buggy game files left over. Issue still occurs.
Oh and if I remember correctly issue still happens if I turn mods off in SMM
but only on this one save?
Well like I said I’m now on a new save but yes it’s still happening. Only thing I haven’t tried because I couldn’t be bothered building it all again is to actually build the bp from scratch in a clean save file.
I don’t know if it matter but I use mega printers as I need atleast 18m of floor going from the bp designer console area and don’t actually know if there’s a designer in vanilla or maybe a different mod that has that space, I don’t need a massive designer as I know one of the other designer mods does give you like a mk 5 that’s really massive
>verifysteam I'm assuming you've done this?
Yeah did that before doing the fresh install. Haven’t done it since.
Ok, next steps: call a priest, have them do an exorcism on your PC
/j, obvs. Sorry you're having trouble!
I think the smallest vanilla blueprint designer is a 32m cube so I don't think you should need a mod
lol trust me I’m ready to buy a sledgehammer. I do want to try one last thing, starting with a completely fresh install again, but besides just searching windows explorer for the words factory game and SMM is there a way I can fully remove every trace of satisfactory being installed so I can start again completely from scratch? I don’t mind as I don’t really do worldwide builds so I’m not loosing anything
fully deleting the steam directory should generally be enough... if you're doing that, not using mods, and still get the problem it'll be a QA site situation
But doesn’t app data folder contain stuff as well
I guess you could delete the config dir? seems unlikely that could be causing it tho
I know it may not se relevant but like I say, I want to remove every trace off satisfactory ever been installed including SMM as that randomly just closes if I uninstall a mod.
Sorry if I’m being a pain and I do appreciate the help.
SMM can't do anything with the game if its not running, because the game doesn't know SMM exists
the only way the game is affected by SMM is if SMM moves mods into its directory structure, so I wouldn't worry too much about the SMM bits
but if you're having weird problems there too, it might be worth a shot - though with how weird all your problems sound, I'd probably be considering an OS reinstall
I’ve literally just updated to windows 11 lol did that before reinstalling satisfactory after the uninstall
:NOOOO:
Yes, I’ve got a head shaped hole in the wall lol been banging it for hours
Well, I’m just starting a new save before I obliterate my OS, I’ve removed priority, controlled mergers, just in case and some others, including the mega printers mod i’m attempting to play the game as vanilla as possible and will see if issue happens again it could have just been a corrupted blueprin config file or something at least that’s what I’m hoping
Well I can confirm it’s not pcm causing the issue. Or mega printers for that matter
ok so after exhaustive testing i think i have narrowed down the possible culprits but i wouldnt mind if either the devs of the following mods or anyone if anyone else uses these mods could test in their game with the following conditions i'd be much appreciative.

4 input only in the same group
4 x adjustable splitters and 2 mergers
hide the default screen and put an info screen in its place
2 x merger
into a new thread, pls
Sorry was told to try putting it into exiswting thread
@Rdc74656 hi i am having the same problem and out of all the mods u used and identify there is only one crossover advanced logistics.
Do u use the nudge mod
I do yes comes in handy, please don’t tell me I’m going to have to remove that lol
I think I know the issue did u by chance when using the blueprint machine u use it when building the blueprint
I did in places. Thing is during the above EXHAUSTIVE testing lol I excluded the above 4 mods from a blueprint on the new save. I still nudged some things into position but made sure not to build anything with the mods listed. It’s a new save file and the blueprint has worked fine. Maybe it could be a combination of the 2?
I am thinking it is compinsion of the 2 and doesn't like it
But do think it is the advanced logistics mod as that is the only out of them 4 I use.
The annoying part of this is the fact the glitch doesn't show up until u shut down the game and reload
I know Andre has updated container screens to not have them show in a bp while designing but I haven’t had chance to test due to RL.
It must be something to do with any mod that allows buildable and changes default behaviour of merger/splitter compared to stock functions. I know someone raised an issue with PCM. Which does do something similar to advanced logistics.
Tell me about it, that’s why I felt like banging my head against wall as after initially building bp and testing without loading the save it worked fine so as you say you think it’s all working until you reload lol
The save file when the glitch happens is weird
Did you also have it where the colour scheme went to black for all buildings except foundation? That was something I couldn’t figure out either. It only happened once the glitch happened
Yep that is how I found this post
Very strange behaviour. I’ll tag developer of AL into this
They have not updated the code since u7
Which I think is pre blueprint.
@Mircea think we’ve confirmed a bug with advanced logistics when used in a BP post 1.0 update
My guess is that the blueprint dater is not saving correctly.
Well thank you for testing this as well. I’m leaving for work now and should be back to test more about 7pm UK time.
Didn't test it it just happen to have it happen on my saves twice and was semi repeatable
Well still at least you helped confirm what it was. Nice one just a shame it happened
Yep worst part is that blueprints are corrupted
Also at @SirDigby as we think infinite nudge might play a part as well
I'm not sure how Infinite Nudge could make matters worse. It just extends vanilla nudge
Think the error has to do with if loading the blueprint on the designer and if u use nudge to move it from out of bounds to back in bounds it doesn't like it
Ah. Not sure what I could do about that
No idea only think I can think of is to look at the doe of the blueprint
Just... don't do that 🙃
Yep the error only appears when reloading the game and after u have saved over 3 blueprints. So it is like it is missing data that cause it to mess up
See I’ve not really nudged anything in and out of bounds of bp designer but I do use infinite zoop and sometimes when laying foundation in designer I go a bit far….i don’t know if that’s a thing but I’m sure we would hear more reports if that’s the case.
I think it is more with the fact something is causing the blueprint save to miss dater on saving it which explains why it is black and only appears after reload. my guess is that there is minor error that happens in game that casus the blueprint to be glitched/corrupted/missing dater. the error may not even be in satisfactory.
Do you have any of the mods that adds various types of walls, floors, windows….even colour schemes?
Sure do have few and on the blueprints I was using had atleast 4 mods in it
Atleast 2 added extra things outside the base game
See in terms of the bp buildings being black once bp placed after re-loading I was unsure if it was one of the deco mods affecting things.
No that would not explain reload no git to be failure to save full dater no it is the blueprint it's self that got corrupted on save that is the issue
It could also be error on how the blueprint interacts with mods. Certainly if the mod was created before blueprints where a thing
It sounds like you know more about how the game handles bp’s so I’ll take your word for it. I haven’t tried duplicating error as I’m proud of my storage blueprint lol
lol u mean u just hope it doesnt haooen again
That as well lol. Thing is though I like the priority adjustment for mergers..and splitters but I know they’re classed as adjustable with the ratio which I don’t quite get.
Same I used them a lot just to speed it all up but I change the machine clocking to fit certain numbers
The only option is to save and check after creating blueprint
I’ll give it a go later I might just do it with just the mergers and nothing else and see what happens
saying that what graphics are u running on as that could be the issue
Nvidia 4070ti got everything as high as they will go but got dlss turned off as it was causing graphics issues with conveyor belts
Ok so after more testing, adjustable splitters and mergers do cause an issue if you set the rules and ratios while it is inside the bp designer. I just deleted them and no issue.
cant be that alone as i tersted it and works for me
Did you use both the mergers and splitters?
Just the splitters as don't see the point to use the merger in blueprint
Hmm could you just do a test with putting a merger in bp and see what happens? It seemed to be after I set the what to do if input was empty?
I did and it didn't croupt the blueprint but then I have lowered by settings from ultra to high
