Description

FIFO Containers

FIFO Containers for Satisfactory!

FIFO Containers is a mod for Satisfactory, written in C++/BP using Unreal Engine and the Satisfactory Modloader, which add 2 new containers to the game!

Getting Started

After installing the mod, just complete the Tier 1 Milestone "FIFO Containers", the containers will be available in the build gun EXACTLY near the vanilla ones!

Current Issues

The FIFO Industrial storage behaves weirdly when outputting to 2 conveyor belts, it seems one is FIFO and the other acts like LIFO.
Modded conveyors with high speeds can cause the logic to go all over the place, I am not sure of what can happen, but I believe some items COULD be lost or COULD be duplicated
The code is a VERY naive implementation, so performance may not be great if you spam those containers

Help Wanted!
While the logic to get some FIFO containers running is not hard to implement, making it fast, secure and multiplayer is a different beast!
This is my first project both with C++ and Unreal Engine, so I'm pretty sure there is a lot of room for improvement!
The Future!
Besides making the code better I really wish to add in the near future a "Sequential Storage Container" that would push down the conveyor belts
one item of each stack it contains". I have no idea on how do to this right now :P

How to Install FIFO Containers on Your Server

Order Satisfactory Server

Order a Satisfactory server with at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended). For multiplayer: per 4 players.

Install Mod

Open the mod manager in the dashboard and search for "FIFO Containers". Installation dependencies are installed automatically.

Restart Server

Restart the server so the mod is loaded. Players need to have the mod installed locally as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

FIFO Containers not working after update – what to do?

After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether FIFO Containers has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.

FIFO Containers causing crashes in multiplayer – solution

Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use FIFO Containers v1.0.0 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.

Is FIFO Containers compatible with other Satisfactory mods?

FIFO Containers uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
