Must-Have Gameplay and Quality of Life Mods
Infinite Zoop and Infinite Nudge by Sir Digby
These two mods are game-changers, especially for players building big factories.
Infinite Zoop: Removes the 10-foundation limit, letting you place foundations and walls endlessly in both directions.

Daisy Chain Everything
This mod lets you connect one machine directly to another without needing power poles. You can set up to 10 connection points per machine, making factory setup much easier.

If spiders scare you, this mod is perfect! It takes spiders out of the game completely, giving you a peaceful gameplay experience without eight-legged visitors.
Upcoming Quality of Life Mods to Watch For

- Enable or Disable Mods: The Mod Manager lets you enable or disable mods for different gameplays. Always start Satisfactory through the Mod Manager to keep track of which mods are enabled.
