A help button with every shortcut, a Comments tab in the Planner, truck routes limited by their station — and the site now opens on your map.

2026-09-08


## What's new

There is a small round **?** in the corner of the Planner and the Map now. It opens a help dialog
listing every keyboard shortcut the page knows, with the right modifier for your platform, plus a
short description of what each part of the screen does.

The Planner has a third tab: **Comments**. It lists every comment thread in the open factory, and
clicking one jumps to its pin and centres on it. The selection ring learned **Arrange** — pick two
or more nodes, arrange them vertically or horizontally — and entries that cannot apply to your
selection are greyed out instead of doing nothing when clicked.

**Vehicle routes** got two corrections. The number of vehicles on a leg is editable again, and a
route's throughput is now limited by what its station can actually transfer, not just by what the
vehicles could carry in theory. Belt throughput, docking times and the numbers behind that are
written down in the Wiki. A station's fuel input also stopped counting as requested cargo — it was
producing a "no wagon for this item" warning on perfectly correct truck routes.

The factory overview separates station fuel and route cargo into their own categories, so per-route
in and out no longer hides among your raw materials.

Two smaller things: typing `auto` into a machine count now means the same as leaving the field
empty, and the Load balancer tab is labelled as version 0.5 — it is good, it is not finished.

## Why we changed it

If you come back every day to keep building, a marketing page is a toll booth. So the front page
changed: signed in, `/` now takes you straight to the map of the world you last had open, and the
landing page moved to its own address, still there if you want to read it. Signed out, nothing
changes.

## What we're working on

A **3D preview** for blueprints — turning an uploaded blueprint into something you can rotate and
look at rather than a list of buildings. And **FactoryJin**, a wishlist board with sections for
Satisfactory itself and for SatisfactoryBase, where you can post an idea, vote on other people's and
discuss them. Every comment area on the site, including that one, is getting a report option that
goes to a real person. A wishlist with votes attracts the kind of post nobody wants to read, and
"tell us and we will look" beats "we hope nobody tries".
