FlexFuel Drones
Drones and Drone Ports now accept packaged liquid biofuel!
Description
FlexFuel Drones
Update: Fixed for patch 1.2!
#(Note: My mod doesn't require an update, but go get the latest version of ContentLib!)
#(HUGE thanks to the ContentLib Team for updating their mod after 1.2 released on Stable so that mine works again too! You guys rock!! πββοΈ)
So -- what is it?
FlexFuel Drones is a lightweight Satisfactory mod that enables Drones to use Packaged Liquid Biofuel as a valid fuel source β because who says drones canβt go green? (Oh yeah, that's right... Coffee Stain Studios did! Whoops!)[](https://ficsit.app/mod/5T4Z1exTKPDbWF)[](https://discord.gg/azC9UtsJ2K)
π Features
- Adds Packaged Liquid Biofuel to the list of compatible drone fuels.
- "FlightSpeed" and "TravelSpeed" are set to match batteries. Seemed fitting since they're both "green"...ish?
- UPDATE (1.2): Burn rate / fuel usage seems to be equal to regular packaged fuel now. I've marked the mod as working for now, but I'd like to release an update and see if I can figure out where to adjust this back to 1.1 rates (roughly half way between batteries and standard fuel)...
- Seamlessly integrates with the base game thanks to the awesome [ContentLib](https://ficsit.app/mod/ContentLib) mod made by Nogg-aholic and Robb! (Thanks, guys!)
- No additional configuration required β just install and play! When you unlock drones (or if you already have), this update will be ready for you!
π Requirements
- Satisfactory 1.2 on Stable Branch! (Yes, the latest update! I have confirmed my mod works with 1.2!)
- [Satisfactory Mod Manager](https://ficsit.app/)
- [ContentLib](https://ficsit.app/mod/ContentLib)

Frequently Asked Questions
FlexFuel Drones not working after update β what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether FlexFuel Drones 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.
FlexFuel Drones causing crashes in multiplayer β 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 FlexFuel Drones v1.0.0 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is FlexFuel Drones compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
FlexFuel Drones 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.
