These console commands will change the way you play 1.0 forever

[@Rxckxt]

To add the commands to your game permanently follow these steps -press windows key -type or copy and paster %localappdata% (press enter) -scroll down to find folder FactoryGame (double click) -go into the saved file (double click) -go into config file -into windows file -file the white file labelled Engine (right click and edit with notepad) -scroll to the bottom and enter you console commands here that you wish to add. don't forget to add the value next to then that you want to console command to be in game. eg r.fog 0 (if you want it off permanently) - go to file in the top left, hit save - boot up your game and enjoy the console commands being on all the time. if at any point you stuff something up or you just don't like them and want to put your game back to default. just find the engine file, delete it. then verify your game files though steam or epic games engine. enjoy guys!

cheers mate

Doesn't work for me. Launching the game erases my lines(rewrites the file?). I tried setting it to read only and the changes stay but don't take effect in game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Console commands in game work just fine.

[@charlesgreen718]

@@bl00 Agreed, finding the same changing the engine.ini file just gets reverted

[@exelsiar]

Same as the other guys, the file refuses stay as set, or at least that was the case until I set engine.ini to read only mode. Might be worth double checking that's getting saved.

[@exelsiar]

-sigh- I take it back, while the file doesn't revert, the changes instead don't take effect.

"More realistic" as a train runs through a wall like a ghost lol :) Good video.

[@Rxckxt]

@@Lockteeno24 those walls your refering to are actually doors made for the trains, infortunetly my hands are tied if they bug out and dont do what they are meant to do.

@@Rxckxt I intended to write gate/door, but looked like my brain didn't work. I know it was a bug ;) I love your vids.

[@zwei-p1993]

4:05 I always imagined that the Hi-Res option in the photo mode should be able to do stuff like that, unfortunately it never worked out. Glad there's a command to achieve that.

[@BabyJeus]

I like your choo’s

[@HORNOMINATOR]

i really loved the morbide, contrast rich, black and white at night look so much its about my favorite biome, but it actually fits better into the candy look of the map

[@MadeInCanada2]

You missed the most important one... "Pause"

[@chaosbouncy]

3:23 I believe the command to turn off that remaining fog is r.atmosphere 0

[@makergaming2022]

Subbed. Will consider trying the fog command for screenshots. Night and day difference.

[@tehNashty]

Cheater! 😂 It will make your vids way better looking! I think that biome he was talking about was the swamp! Day and night! I hate that place...

[@combycat]

Nope, I have not been avoiding the swamp. My nuclear power plant is there! It sucks though, so I’ll redo it when I find an idea.

[@blubbla9915]

Clean and beautiful, thx for this information! love it!

[@TuberTugger]

How these aren't settings to toggle is beyond me.

[@jaye1967]

Thanks for the tips. I think they went a bit too heavy on the "atmosphere" of the swamp. I've found it perplexing how liberal game developers are when it comes to the use of fog, especially considering how nice a lot of game worlds actually look.

[@jmrumble]

I think maybe they set the defaults for a graphics card that can't render that far out memory-wise, so the fog is meant to cover the missing LOD so that when you can see it through the fog then it's been rendered in. As for the color grading, I have no idea what that's supposed to be for... It just seems from the example like it makes things darker and less vibrant. Mostly unrelated, but it would be awesome to see this game without the color grading on, rendered on an OLED monitor! (If phones with OLED are anything to go by, anyways.)

[@jaye1967]

@@jmrumble The color grading thing, and also the fog to a degree is part of the whole "atmosphere" thing. It's the same as when they choose color grading for movies to help set the vibe and the mood and induce a certain emotion in the audience. In this case it helps give a creepiness to the spiders, etc. I think after a few hours, though, enjoying the visually appealing world they created is better for some people.

[@jmrumble]

@@jaye1967 Oh like a movie score for creating suspense or relief, but then visual! But in this case too loud. That makes sense!

[@wigenite]

would have been nice to thave the stat fps command running when changing the LOD to see what if any impact it had

[@Rxckxt]

actually if you look in the top left of my screen during the changeover on the grading command you can see, i negligibly lost 1 fps, mind you i don't think that would help considering how vastly different everyone's pc specs are. this is more of a try it and find out, like all setting. i do like the idea in theory though.

[@wigenite]

@@Rxckxt oh yeah, didn't see that up there, just so used to the in-game fps counter being over on the right side

[@willrun4fun]

Awesome. With a 4090 I was looking for a way to push out the LOD. To bad they never added the foliage to Nanite to eliminate the LOD issues altogether, but I guess they ran out of time or something. I will be sure to add these to my engine.ini config.

[@antoninmorlet6006]

Nanite is not a magical thing, it has a very negative impact on the performance, and it’s better to use classic LODs

[@mindrust8365]

Really amazing factory and train setup. Love the aesthetics also. What is your factory making in the swamp, is it a powerplant or something else?

[@CherylRichards-e9m]

man thx r.Fog 0 is a life saver the fog in the game in annoying

[@_skykix]

I love the gradient one 😮

[@Archivaris]

Fyi press the up arrow to select previous entered commands after you opened the command window. Only need to enter it once manually after that even after restarting the game the commands will still be there 😄

[@phreeesubz]

*Doing some research, i see the commends will reset when you close the game and reopen? is this true? do you have to do the commands every play session?*

[@Rxckxt]

@@phreeesubz look at my pinned comment will show you how to make them permanent

wow thanks, what are your graphic settings? your game looks great!

[@derekfelson5509]

Thank you! I hate the fog so much!

[@jakaloper]

Does anyone knows if we can disable that command thing ? I always hit that key while playing and it's annoying. I looked at the controls settings but couldn't find it.

[@joshbonney9624]

Thinking you might want to reconsider your LOD setting. I just popped over to your latest stream, and jumped ahead to 30 mins to see what you were working on. You were lagging SO hard, that I would consider it unplayable. Your "avatar" was lagging too, so maybe a recording issue? Sound was fine. (Edit:) Just happened to catch you talking about it. internet issue. Then you fixed it. Cheers

[@Rxckxt]

nah that lag was cause i had my settings all buggered up on my obs, if you check later in the stream its fine cause i fixed it

[@joshbonney9624]

@@Rxckxt Do you know the command for LOD of Terrain? I have giant terrain rocks turn into a single pointy triangle at like 40 foundations.... makes landscape look very odd

[@Rxckxt]

@@joshbonney9624 im not sure i had this issue once before myself and i think to fix it i had to delete the engine file as described in my pinned comment and i verified the game and i believe that fixed it

[@LurifaxDK]

Weird. Can't get the console command for colorgradient to work. The fog one works fine though. Edit: I save the edits to the engine.ini file and save it but the game erases those two lines when it launches.

[@IRDazza]

I disagree with the color gradient off. Makes the graphics cartoony and removes atmosphere. IMO . Same with Fog.. I like games to have atmosphere and would lve to see a mod that made graphics a little less "clean" and more realistic so everything doesn't look new and the same. Getting away from the default colours also makes it better. (Not everything has to shine and look new,)

[@kaiserarcher2342]

hay un comando para que halla mas reflejos en las estructuras, por ejemplo con los nuevos colores metalicos se ve de lujo

[@matthewcyr3894]

If you remove the color grading for the swamp with the console, does it remove it for all biomes or just whichever one you’re in when the command is entered?

[@Rxckxt]

if you go through an turn in on and off to test in every biome the only other one i noticed a difference was the northern forest and the difference was almost unnoticeable in my opinion. of course giving different screen colour settings and displays some other biomes may be more or less noticeable. i can only speak from my own experience.

[@wally7896]

would this make the other biomes way over saturated

[@Rxckxt]

no

[@briannabananna3972]

Hi Rxcktx, a little off topic but do you know of a console command or other method to force signs to stay on even when not in view? For context, I often use signs for lighting and since 1.0 they stop shining if you can't see them directly. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

[@Rxckxt]

that is a really interesting problem if you could join the discord and share some pictures of the it happening at distance so i can see it would be greatly helpfull. i believe there is a command but i will have to go digging for it although i fell like this is a setting issue

[@willrun4fun]

I have a console command for this one. I got it on the Satisfactory Q/A site. I can't post it here but can put it on the discord in a bit.

To the person in your lastest video looking for sign related console commands here is this discussion on the Satisfactory QA site questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e359f8772a987f4a8ae3ad this should help sort you out
