Movement/Rotation Is Relative To Direction Player Is Facing

Objects have a natural orientation (x, y, and z axis) that they will move and rotate with. Commands on the horizontal plane (x and y axis) will be based on what direction you are facing. For example move back/forth will always move an object away/towards the direction you are facing within the constraints of the object's natural orientation.

Tips

• You can use the dismantle tool (F) or unequip the Micro Manager to quickly deselect all objects.
• Objects modified by Micro Manage maintain their modifications, even if the mod is no longer loaded.
• If you are flying, you can use the Right-Alt key with Micro Manage to avoid key conflicts.
• Configuration files are located in \<Satisfactory Game Folder>/configs (must run with mod installed first to create default config files).
• For key/mouse names, see constants at bottom of https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Runtime/InputCore/EKeys/index.html

Known Problems

• Vehicles that are made larger or smaller can have unpredictable side effects when riding around in them and may even crash your game. Make sure to save before playing around.
• The statues that you get from the AWESOME shop are not modifiable with this mod. We recommend the Big Statues mod (https://ficsit.app/mod/EvreCbL2wrtpGG) for modifiable versions.

Snapping

Foundations that are flat rotated (spin) should allow normal snapping in all directions. Rotation in the Roll or Pitch directions will allow normal snapping in one direction but get a little funky in the other direction. Snapping also does not perform very well on foundations that are grown or shrunken.

Stuff Being Worked On

• Alignment, spacing, and other building tools
• Cut, copy, and paste tools
• Landscape (map content) editing tools
• Machine monitoring and management tools
