Can't open Update 6/7/8/1.0 Release Saves

[budak7273]

Error SatisfactorySaveParser.Exceptions.UnknownSaveVersionException is thrown.

This is because the editor has not yet been updated to handle saves made in these versions of the game.

Instead, use another tool like SCIM - https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

An issue popup like the one below will be displayed:

There is no known ETA for @Goz3rr fixing this.

@budak7273 @Goz3rr I'm currently working on a fix, but in a new repo / solution, since I honestly don't like some of the parser code. But basically you should be able to transfer my changes when I'm done.

Since I learned from this repo how this wild file format works, please feel free to take something back.

I will write here again when I'm done, hopefully around this weekend.

@R3dByt3 Hey, great to hear the codebase has helped you, and thanks for keeping us in the loop. Have you seen the new parser branch? You might find the code there more agreeable.

It's not clear to me what Goz3rr's plans for the repo are, but I lack the save structure knowledge (and time) to continue this project.

@budak7273 Oh thanks for the info with the branch, I will take a look at this one (Silly me, didn't check that).
No problem, you'r welcome, that's what open source was meant to be.

[R3dByt3]

Ah yes don't mind me forgetting that I was still on my company github account.. sorry ^^

[budak7273]

The secret is out!!!! They're looking at SF stuff during work!!! Haha

[budak7273]

Any updates @R3dByt3 ?

@budak7273
Hi, sorry for the late response my initial success got a little bit delay so here is the current status:

• Instructions are all clear
• I was able to remove the zlib dependency
• NLog removed
• Files are starting to beeing read

I just stumbled on 2 little issues.

• First I had to prepare my colloquium so I lost 1 week of work (got this info on thursday)
• And I just stumbled upon a part of the file format where the community docs simply point to the satisfactory-calc-map in js/ts w/e; So there came a bunch of datastructures I didn't expect or knew about..

Currently I would shift the ETA by 2 weeks, so I can finish my bachelor first.
But I expect to be able to finish it.

@R3dByt3 Thanks for the update. Good luck with your degree, and no rush on this side. I'm sure some other changes will be needed for U8 as well, and there isn't a release date for that yet.

You might have already seen this, but some other people have also modified the codebase in PRs and forks. Their work could help with setting up your version. Also, there are a few other save editor devs on the modding discord if you want to bounce ideas off of others. A join link can be found at ficsit.app

[R3dByt3]

Yea thanks for this info as well, but I think I'm fine using the satisfactory calculator project. The discord like is anyway rly nice, thanks for this too.

I also hope that U8 does not break everything directly after again ^^'.

Since you seem well informed, do you know a proper way to get in touch with the SatisFactory devs? Because I'm sure, that I can implement a save game data structure, that will have a comparable file size without the use of compression. And by that this would cause the saves to load and save multiple times faster.

[AnthorNet]

A new save data game structure won't be compatible with the unreal engine ;)

[R3dByt3]

They could implement it very cheap on their own ^^'
Instead of writing so many duplicated data that a compression from 180 mb to 6 mb becomes possible
