Satisfactory Calculator (SCIM): The Ultimate Save Editor
The **Satisfactory Calculator Interactive Map (SCIM)** is more than just a map; it is the most powerful administrative tool available for the game. It allows you to upload your save file, view your entire factory layout, delete bugged structures, and even move players who are stuck in the void.
1. Fix Stuck Players
If a player falls through the map or logs out in a vehicle that disappears, you can use SCIM to edit their Z-coordinate or teleport them to the HUB.
2. Delete Ghost Structures
Sometimes, dismantled machines leave behind invisible hitboxes. SCIM allows you to "lasso" an area and mass-delete these bugged entities.
3. Blueprints
You can import massive "Megaprints" (community blueprints) directly into your save, spawning entire rail networks or factories instantly.
How to Use SCIM with a Dedicated Server
Dedicated servers do not have a GUI to upload saves directly to SCIM. You must download the file first.
- Navigate to your Supercraft **File Manager**.
- Go to
/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server/. - Download the latest
.savfile (e.g.,MyWorld_autosave_0.sav). - Go to Satisfactory-Calculator.com.
- Drag and drop your
.savfile onto the interactive map.
Common Editing Tasks
| Task | How to do it on SCIM |
|---|---|
| Revive Dead Doggo | Right-click the Lizard Doggo icon on the map -> "Update Health" -> Set to 100. |
| Unlock All Alternate Recipes | Go to "Research" tab -> Patterns/Recipes -> Click "Unlock All". (Cheaty, but useful for creative runs). |
| Move a Crate | Find the "Death Crate" icon -> Right-click -> "Teleport" -> Enter new coordinates. |
| Mass Dismantle | Use the "Lasso Tool" (Polygon selection) to draw a circle around a factory -> Select "Delete" -> Download modified save. |
Important: After editing, you must download the Modified Save (usually named save_CALCULATOR.sav), upload it back to your server's save folder, and Restart Server to load it.
Advanced SCIM Features
Production Analysis
SCIM provides powerful tools for analyzing and optimizing your factory:
- Production Statistics: View real-time output from all buildings, machines, and production lines
- Recipe Calculator: Check which recipes are most efficient for your current production setup
- Power Consumption: Analyze power usage across your entire factory network
- Bottleneck Identification: Quickly find underperforming machines or constrained production lines
- Resource Flow: Trace materials from extraction through to final products
Mass Operations
Use SCIM's selection tools to make large-scale changes efficiently:
- Batch Deletion: Select multiple buildings of same type and delete them all at once
- Area Selection: Use lasso tool to circle large factory sections and delete entire production lines
- Replacement Building: Find and remove broken or bugged structures that no longer serve purpose
- Grid Operations: Select all buildings on specific foundations or elevations
- Paste Operations: Copy and paste building layouts between different areas
World Modification Tools
Beyond fixing problems, SCIM allows creative modifications to your world:
- Resource Spawn: Add new resource nodes anywhere on the map
- Creature Spawn: Spawn creatures or remove them from specific areas
- Slime Pool Placement: Add new fluid pools for water, oil, or sulfur
- Item Creation: Spawn any item directly into your inventory
- Building Teleport: Move entire buildings or factory sections to new locations
⚠️ Warning: Use world modification tools carefully on multiplayer servers. Creative changes can disrupt other players' experience. Always backup before making major modifications and communicate with your server community.
Troubleshooting Common SCIM Issues
Save Won't Load
If SCIM displays errors or fails to load your save:
- Corrupted Save: Your save file may be damaged. Try loading a backup or using SCIM's repair function if available
- Save Version Mismatch: Ensure you downloaded the latest SCIM version compatible with your Satisfactory version
- File Size Limit: Extremely large saves (>500MB) may exceed SCIM's processing limits. Try a smaller save or wait for full processing
- Browser Compatibility: Some browsers have issues processing very large saves. Try Chrome or Firefox for best results
Edits Not Applying
If changes made in SCIM don't appear in-game after uploading:
- Incorrect File: Ensure you downloaded the Modified Save file, not the original
- Server Not Restarted: The modified save won't load until server restarts and loads the new file
- File Permissions: Check that the save file has correct read/write permissions on the server
- SCIM Version: Verify you're using a compatible SCIM version for your save file
Lost Progress After Edit
If your world state appears different than expected after SCIM editing:
- Expected Changes: Review what you modified in SCIM to confirm it matches intended results
- Backup Recovery: If something went wrong, restore from your original save backup
- Partial Corruption: Some edits may cause localized issues. Use SCIM's inspect tools to identify problematic entities
- Machine Deletion: If you deleted important machines by accident, they cannot be recovered except by loading a backup
Best Practices
Safe Editing Workflow
- Backup First: Always download and keep a copy of your original save before any edits
- Test Locally: If possible, test modified save in single-player mode first
- Make one or two edits at a time and verify each works correctly
- Document Changes: Keep notes on what you modified and why, especially for server administration
- Communicate: On multiplayer servers, inform players of planned world modifications
Server Integration Tips
- Server Offine: Perform all SCIM edits during scheduled server restarts or maintenance windows
- Quick Upload: Use SFTP for faster file transfers compared to browser upload
- Verification: After restart, verify changes took effect by logging in-game
- Rollback Plan: Know which backup to restore if edits cause unexpected issues
