FAQ

What SatisfactoryBase is, where its data comes from, accounts and worlds, sharing, ads and consent, reporting a bug, and how to contribute.

What is SatisfactoryBase?

A fan-made companion site for the game Satisfactory: an interactive map, a production planner and this wiki, built from the game's own data. It's a website you use alongside the game, not a mod or a save editor.

Is SatisfactoryBase official, or affiliated with Coffee Stain Studios?

No. It's an unofficial fan project with no connection to Coffee Stain Studios AB or Coffee Stain Publishing AB, and it isn't endorsed or sponsored by them. Satisfactory is their trademark; the game graphics, icons and names shown here are used as fan content to describe the game, and all rights to them stay with Coffee Stain. See the Impressum for the full legal notice.

What game version is the data from?

Satisfactory 1.2. Items, recipes and buildings come from the game's own official data export, converted with an open-source parser, so the numbers should match what you see in-game on that version. If a future game patch changes something, there may be a gap until the wiki is regenerated from a newer export.

Where does the map and resource-node data come from?

The interactive map's tiles, resource nodes and world-seed randomisation are built on open-source community projects that reverse-engineered the game's node placement and seed algorithm, rather than being extracted directly from Coffee Stain's assets. Full credits and licenses are listed on the Impressum page.

Do I need an account?

No – the map and planner both work without signing in, storing what you build in your browser only. Creating a free account (email or Google) is only needed if you want to keep a world (a saved playthrough with its own factories and map layout) long-term, access it from another device, or share it with someone else.

What is a "world"?

A world is a saved workspace tied to one of your Satisfactory playthroughs: its factories, the layout on the map, and its own resource-node randomisation ("seed") all live together under one world so they stay consistent with each other and with your actual save.

Can I share a world or a factory?

Yes. A world can be made public as a read-only link that anyone can view, and a signed-in visitor can fork a public world to start their own copy from it. Worlds are private by default.

Does SatisfactoryBase show ads, and what data does it collect?

Only cookies necessary for the site to work (your sign-in session, and your planner/map settings) are set automatically. Advertising (Google AdSense) and analytics only run if you actively allow them in the cookie banner, which you can reopen any time from the footer. Details are in the privacy policy.

Is the planner a substitute for building in-game?

No – it's a calculator and a co-pilot for planning, not a 3D construction tool. It works out recipes, machine counts and power for a production chain; you still build it in the game itself.

I found a wrong number or a bug – how do I report it?

Use the Report a bug button (labelled "Beta") in the site's navigation bar. It opens a short form for a title, a description and an optional screenshot, and sends the report straight to the project's public issue tracker.

Can I contribute to SatisfactoryBase?

The project is open source; reporting bugs through the button above is the easiest way to help, and the source code is public on GitHub for anyone who wants to dig into how something is built or propose a change.

Why do the wiki's numbers match what the planner calculates?

Both draw from the same underlying game-data package, so an item's sink points, a recipe's rate or a building's power draw is computed once and shown consistently everywhere on the site.
