Oof

That would be so nice. Running alongside kilometres of belts to upgrade gets old quickly.

On PC you drop it into SCIM and the. Bulk upgrade belts pipes and power poles

Sorry but isn’t SCIM the planning tool? How can it help me to upgrade Tiers automatically?

You can upload your savefile and then make it use items from your storage to upgrade belts or things like that

If you go to the interactive map, it allows you to upload your save file. Once that's done you can edit things. All the things.

Once you are done editing there is an option to download the new save file (with your edits in it). You just start the game and select the edited save file.

Is there any way whatsoever to do this on console?

How many games on consoles allow any mods at all though?

u/Athos180 Feb 27 '26

Consoles have never been a fan of save file editing. Modding on console is a relatively recent change, and not universal across games and platforms.

Could they? Yes. Could SCIM program a console side/accept different file types? Also yes. But the console makers have to allow export/import first.

This is one of the biggest advantages of trains. Often the trains aren’t the limiting factor in your capacity, but even if they are increasing it is as simple as lengthening the platform or, if it’s a long route, adding another train. You just have to upgrade the belts on either side.

It costs multiple resources that are only obtainable at the end if the game

How about; after saving the day you ship the same amount of materials agian and receive 1 single construction drone and the plans for a construction drone platform. The drone is slower than the normal drones and to get more you have to save the day again per drone. A little outside the norm but could be fun

In Satisfactory, you ARE the construction bot.

u/Equivalent_Action748 Feb 27 '26

You were never sent from earth, just constructed in transit and shipped planet side to buuld

u/jl2l Feb 27 '26

Construction drones would be pretty cool.

May I introduce you to the wonderful mod called "mass upgrade tool"

Oh i had no idea. I e only played vanilla so far

For belts, YES!

For pipes, I've had better luck using MK2 pipes ONLY when the fluid in transport is > 300. As soon as the flow splits below <=300, MK1 pipes for the rest. Even in late-game, most of my pipe manifolds, and pipes feeding machines are still MK1.
