Signs please

[Twentydragon]

One of the most glaring omissions from Satisfactory as it currently exists is the ability to write words on a plank of wood/plastic/metal, and stick/lean/lay it on something so you have a visible note for yourself.

It makes sense that, in a game where you can't easily see the contents of boxes or might have a large number of hyper tubes and conveyors going every which way, players would want or even need the ability to slap text on things in the world.

As it stands, the mental load of just having to try to remember where everything is granularly, what's being produced in which constructor/assembler, and what you were doing last time you logged off makes this game more exhausting than it needs to be.

It's about efficiency, right? Well, so are signs.

The new Power Switch can be used as a sign/label.

I've taken to placing a single unit of a materiel / ingredient on the ground next to storage/production buildings so I know what they need, or what they are producing at a glance. Sometimes storage containers are facing the 'wrong way' for the conveyor-sticking-out trick.

Or in front of each entrance point in a large bank of Hypertubes reminding me roughly where each one goes. A chunk of Coal for coal gen factory, Refined Quartz for that factory, etc.

But yeah, placeable signage, or digital 'billboards' integrated into walls/storage containers would be very welcome.

That sounds remarkably expensive.

Not so bad, just not early game.

Beacons make decent signs.

They make decent beacons, anyway. I don't think you'd actually want to label your hyper tubes or storage containers with them.

+1 to signs. Please and thank you.

[Cpt Buckshot]

id like signs also +1 or storage containers that have image of part your storing in it

[Kwillem]

Signs would be awesome! I love being neat, structured and organised. Labelling something is an essential part of my daily life and it would be very satisfactory to have it in game as well!

[dino_inc]

Or you can just use them as signs until we add that to the game in the near future. Soon™.

They mentioned signs in update 4, right here in the power switch description, so they definitely know of the need. Hopefully Soon™ is closer than whenever Update 5 happens.

+1 For signs! Please!

[Taco Cat]

if you want to see whats in your containers just make a belt as short as possible in front of the container so that 1 or 2 items are visible and you need no sign

[Deadly Peanut]

OP has a good suggestion/feedback. easy to use and read signs would be very helpful imho

suggestion: any player who supports this idea jump on this link drop a suggestion/feedback.

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

correct me if i'm wrong, but i understand this link is a primary feedback source for SF dev team. generally game dev tend to ignore steam forms, afaik

[baerra]

Anything you could ever suggest or want in this game actually already exists in mods, and there's one that does this really, really well and more. I don't see why it doesn't exist in this game, though, since it seems necessary.

signs would be cool !00 %
