Adding Music

[HumanMirthquake]

Hello; is there a way to add music to the game? The current stuff is great; I just would like to add more. Thank you!

As an example, They Are Billions had an entire orchestra for their soundtrack, I think they are Bulgarian and quite good.

No, he's implying that you're not playing Satisfactory because Satisfactory has plenty of sound effects, but you are saying that it is seriously lacking in sound effects. Sound effects and music are different.

The thread is about music which is a sound effect.

Nope. Music and sound effects are pretty much always treated differently, especially in gaming. That's why you usually get two volume sliders. Music, and sound effects. Sometimes a master as well to adjust both in tandem. They are both sound, but they are absolutely considered different by just about every single game out there. At least when they have sound options. Music is, well, music. Sound effects are everything else that's not music. Footsteps, gunshots, machinery, monsters, etc.

How old is Winamp now?

That used to be Winamps battle cry way back in the early naughties

I get way more crashes when playing a playlist while Satisfactory is running. First the app stops playing, then soon after the entire machine locks up. Other times it just goes brrrrrrrrr without warning. Doesn't happen if I'm not playing music. I thought about using a Steam playlist, but adding songs to it seems to be beyond my technical ability (or they just don't know how to enable drag and drop).

Try swapping to PotPlayer or VLC. They will probably work better.
Personally I prefer PotPlayer because comes with a dark skin by default while VLC skins are kinda wonky since years ago.

For me this kind of falls in the realm of VoIP or in game browsers. Always feels like a huge waste for the developers to make their own unless there's some critical function that needs it.

So much easier to just turn on VLC in the background.

Sometimes location based audio can be critical, or the game is so dense that you literally need the wiki up while you're playing, but in general I've always preferred third party solutions.

I'm not poo-pooing the benefit of having music scalable to game activity, it just doesn't seem particularly relevant in this case.

Is any of Satisfactory's music event based?
