Slow Smoke
Slows down building smoke effects
Description
This mod slows down the smoke particle effects given off by factory buildings. I think it looks much better slowed down - but don't take my word for it, try it yourself!
Buildings affected:
- Biomass Burner
- Smelter
- Foundry
- Coal Generator
- Fuel Generator
- Nuclear Generator
You can change the speed in the Mod Configuration page.

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

Frequently Asked Questions
Slow Smoke not working after update – what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Slow Smoke 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.
Slow Smoke 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 Slow Smoke v1.2.0 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Slow Smoke compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Slow Smoke 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.
