Sometimes hoverpacks do not work when first equipped, just unequip and requip it!
Adds 3 new hoverpacks, which are jetpacks that have a low power mode that allows you to hover in place, and consumes half as much fuel.
Hold SHIFT while flying to activate hover mode, or press CTRL+H to lock the hoverpack into hover mode.
When locked into hover mode, there is no jetpack drifting.
3 Hoverpacks:
Bio Hoverpack (Teir 2)
- Fuel: Solid Biofuel (10 to fill)- Burns fuel quickly, rises slow.
Hoverpack (Teir 6)
- Fuel: Packaged Fuel (4 to fill)- Equivalent to Jetpack.
Improved Hoverpack (Teir 7)
- Fuel: Packaged Turbofuel (4 to fill)- Burns fuel slowly, rises moderately quickly.
- Automatically gets a speed boost when flying straight for a few seconds while holding SHIFT.

How to Install Hoverpacks on Your Server
Order Satisfactory Server
Order a Satisfactory server with at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended). For multiplayer: per 4 players.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hoverpacks not working after update – what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Hoverpacks 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.
Hoverpacks 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 Hoverpacks v1.0.3 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Hoverpacks compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Hoverpacks 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.
