🚗 What is Clear Vehicle Paths?

Clear Vehicle Paths removes vehicle paths from your save map-wide, with one chat command, instead of making you dismantle them segment by segment.

Satisfactory 1.2 replaced the old recorded vehicle paths with a new path system. When you load a pre-1.2 save, the game converts every old recorded route into the new path segments — and if you had years of truck routes, that can mean thousands of leftover path pieces you no longer want, with no vanilla way to clear them in bulk. Offline save editors can't help either until they support the 1.2 save format.

This mod adds a single chat command that finds those paths and dismantles them through the game's own dismantle system — the same code path the build gun uses — so path networks rebuild cleanly and vehicles handle the change safely.

Clear Vehicle Paths does not add buildings, items, or recipes. It is a one-job cleanup tool you can install, run once, and remove.

⚡ Usage

Open chat (`Enter`) and type:

| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| `/clearvehiclepaths count` | Dry run. Reports how many path segments exist and how many are legacy (converted from a pre-1.2 save). Changes nothing. |
| `/clearvehiclepaths` | Dismantles only legacy paths — routes the game converted from a pre-1.2 save. Paths you drew with the new 1.2 tools are untouched. |
| `/clearvehiclepaths all` | Dismantles every vehicle path on the map, including paths made with the new 1.2 tools and standalone path nodes. |
| `/cvp` | Short alias — works with all of the above. |

Recommended first run: `/clearvehiclepaths count` to see what you have, then choose `legacy` or `all`.

⚠️ Before You Run It

- Back up your save first. The command dismantles paths in one shot; there is no undo besides reloading.
- Vehicles using removed paths will stop where they are and will need new paths recorded. That's the point — but it means your truck network pauses until you re-record routes.
- In multiplayer, the command always executes on the server, no matter which player types it — SML chat commands work that way. There is no host-only restriction, so coordinate with your crew before clearing.

---

🧩 Compatibility and Save Safety

- Removal goes through the game's own dismantle handling, so path networks rebuild and vehicle route lists are cleaned up by the game itself — no hand-edited save data.
- The mod adds nothing to your save. After running it, you can remove the mod and the save stays clean.
- `legacy` mode only touches paths carrying the game's own "converted from an old save" marker; it cannot misfire on paths you drew in 1.2.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How does it know which paths are "legacy"?

When Satisfactory 1.2 loads a pre-1.2 save, it converts each old recorded route into new path segments and permanently marks them as converted. The default mode removes exactly the segments carrying that marker.

I want a completely clean slate. Which mode?

`/clearvehiclepaths all` — it removes every path segment and every standalone path node on the map.

Will my trucks be touched? What about refunds?

Vehicles are never touched — only the paths they drive on. Removed paths do not drop refund crates; this matters less than it sounds, since vehicle paths aren't built from materials the way buildings are.

Can I remove the mod afterwards?

Yes. The mod only removes things; it stores nothing in your save. Install, clean up, uninstall — that's the intended use.

Does it work on dedicated servers?

Yes. The release is packaged for the game client and for dedicated servers on both Windows and Linux, which covers most hosted-server providers. Install the same version on the server and on every client. Any player can type the command in chat and it executes on the server — SML chat commands have no permission gate, so coordinate with your crew before clearing.
