Description

This mod gives the pioneer access to cheap versions of trucks, trains, and their stations in Tier 2, with fluid platforms unlocked in Tier 3. Also includes a slightly downgraded hover pack for ease of building and a recipe to produce weak batteries from solid biofuel (use my other mod, Synthetic Plant Matter, if you wish to fully automate biofuel).

<h4>I am very new to modding and may have done something wrong when putting this mod together, so please report any issues or bugs you may encounter on Github. I appreciate it.</h4>

Frequently Asked Questions

Start With Vehicles not working after update – what to do?

After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Start With Vehicles 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.

Start With Vehicles 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 Start With Vehicles v1.0.3 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.

Is Start With Vehicles compatible with other Satisfactory mods?

Start With Vehicles 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.
