High Resolution Screenshot Export of Modeler

Often to take any kind of screenshot one has to zoom way out. Taking a screenshot then (after zooming out to get everything in view) everything is too small to be useful at that point. The abilty to export a high-resolution image of the build would be useful. Alternatively…. some kind of “notation” layer overlay to take and add notes freestyle, scribble in over the layout… etc. Basically a scratchpad layer… might be cool

Markings for completed parts of factory

The point of this software is to model factories to be built yes? This seems like a mission critical kind of suggestion for clarity of building. Perhaps as simple as color coding… a way to check off parts of the factory being models as built, not built… in progress… etc. I see two similar posts… I like both of them. I don’t think the form of implementation matters, just the ability to keep track somehow.

Edge scrolling while trying to connect buildings in large scale (or ability to dead end a path and pick it back up later without using an intermediate building)

With very large layouts, it gets difficult to connect buildings/outposts that are far away, especially if trying to keep it clean. The ability to either get edge scrolling while holding the connector line or better yet, place waypoints dynamically as you go would be really awesome

shapes for outpost input/output while inside it

The outputs/inputs of outposts are essential, but the version of them on the side means everytime you pan and move the screen, the connections there keep flowing and changing and moving. Id love to have some shapes/bldg/object that represents an output or an input attached to the outpost that i can put anywhere, to keep my diagrams neat and tidy

Dedicated Power Production Planner

I think Satisfactory Modeler would benefit a lot from a dedicated power production planner, not only power consumption summaries. Right now, the tool can show how much power a factory uses or produces, but it would be extremely useful to have a system where we can actually design power generation setups. For example: “I have 240 coal/min, how much power can I generate?” “I have 300 crude oil/min, what kind of fuel power setup can I build?” “I want to make a nuclear power plant, how much uranium, water, machines, and waste handling do I need?” “I need 10,000 MW of power, what is the required setup?” The feature could support different power types such as: Coal power Fuel power Turbofuel / Rocket Fuel setups Nuclear power Plutonium recycling or waste handling Geothermal power It would be great if the planner could calculate: Required generators Required resource input per minute Required water amount Required refineries, blenders, manufacturers, etc. Byproducts and waste Belt and pipe requirements Gross power production Power consumed by the setup itself Final net power output The main idea is that instead of only seeing how much power a factory consumes, we could also plan a full power plant from resources or from a target MW amount. For example, I could choose: “Crude Oil: 300/min” Then the tool could show different possible setups: Basic Fuel Power Diluted Fuel Turbofuel Rocket Fuel And compare how much power each setup produces, how many machines it needs, and how complex it is. This would make Satisfactory Modeler much more complete, because power production is a huge part of factory planning in Satisfactory.
