Source bounds: supplied Official Satisfactory Wiki excerpts only. No edition, DLC, or New Game+ variant is identified; the excerpts appear to represent a mixed or unlabeled game version. Duplicate milestone sections from the Milestones and Tier 1 pages are retained as separate supplied tables. No patch coverage is inferred.
Counts describe the imported source tables. They do not establish complete coverage of every patch, DLC or upgrade variant. Multiple values remain labeled as listed values when the source does not identify their upgrade levels.

MAKE A USEFUL NEXT MOVE
Start here
Trace MAM progression
Use the MAM overview for how discovery initiates research trees, then consult the named research entries for their listed requirements and rewards.
MAM research and trees Blade Runners ZiplineReview power generation
The Geothermal Generator entry gives its geyser placement requirement and output ranges by geyser purity.
Geothermal GeneratorFollow HUB onboarding
The milestone passages show sequential HUB upgrades, their costs, rewards, and how Tier 0 opens later tiers.
HUB Upgrade 1 HUB Upgrade 2 Milestone tier progressionKNOW YOUR OPTIONS
Equipment & progression guides
Choose a topic to see how it works, where it helps and what to consider.
MAM research and trees
The MAM provides research-tree unlocks outside milestone progression, initiated by discovering items and completed using required items held in inventory.
Understand this choiceBlade Runners
Blade Runners are leg equipment unlocked through the Quartz Research chain in the MAM. They increase running speed by 50% and jump height by 100%, and dampen fall damage.
Understand this choiceZipline
The Zipline is unlocked through the Caterium Research chain in the MAM. Its research node lists 100 Quickwire and 50 Cable.
Understand this choiceStun Rebar
Caterium research unlocks the Stun Rebar crafting recipe, requiring Quickwire and Iron Rebar for its research node.
Understand this choiceMAM inventory-slot expansions
The Alien Megafauna research window lists Inflated Pocket Dimension as a reward that adds six inventory slots.
Understand this choiceSmart Splitter
The supplied evidence identifies the Smart Splitter as a three-output conveyor building with per-output filters and overflow handling. It is unlocked through Caterium MAM research; the cited windows do not show its research inputs or exact tree position.
Understand this choiceGeothermal Generator
A Geothermal Generator must be built on a Geyser and requires no additional input. Its output fluctuates with geyser purity: 50–150 MW on an impure geyser, 100–300 MW on a normal geyser, and 200–600 MW on a pure geyser.
Understand this choiceObject Scanner research modes
The supplied evidence describes the Object Scanner as scanning selected objects within a 250-meter radius and says MAM research unlocks additional scan targets. It does not establish specific mode rewards.
Understand this choiceDimensional Depot storage expansions
Alien Technology research expands Dimensional Depot storage to three, four, and five stacks per item type.
Understand this choiceDimensional Depot upload-rate upgrades
Alien Technology research lists upload upgrades of 60, 120, and 240 items per minute for the Dimensional Depot.
Understand this choiceMilestone tier progression
HUB milestones unlock buildings, recipes, equipment, and other rewards. Tier 0 upgrades are sequential; completing Tier 0 opens Tiers 1 and 2, and Space Elevator phases unlock higher tiers.
Understand this choiceHUB Upgrade 1
HUB Upgrade 1 costs 10 Iron Rods and unlocks the Equipment Workshop and Portable Miner. It also adds one inventory slot and a Personal Storage Box to the HUB.
Understand this choiceHUB Upgrade 2
HUB Upgrade 2 costs 20 Iron Rods. Its listed rewards include a Smelter, Power Line, Copper Ingot, Wire and Cable recipes, a Copper Ore scanner update, and a first Biomass Burner added to the HUB.
Understand this choiceCommon mistakes to avoid
MAM research requires inventory-held items
Research requirements must be in the player’s inventory; items held only in the Dimensional Depot do not satisfy the requirement.
Milestone inputs cannot be recovered
Parts inserted into the HUB Terminal cannot be taken back, so submitted milestone costs are committed.
Research and crafting requirements differ
The supplied Blade Runners windows show a Quartz Research unlock and a separate crafting recipe. They do not provide the research-node costs in the cited passage.
References & guide scope
A source-bounded reference to named MAM research unlocks and HUB milestone rewards shown in the supplied evidence windows. It records stated effects, costs, and progression conditions where those details appear; unsupported details are omitted.
- This reference is limited to the supplied passages and does not independently verify their latest patch status or DLC applicability.
- Some research-entry windows list node costs without showing every prerequisite or explaining the resulting item's full operation.
- The shopping-list passage flags itself as needing cleanup for Patch 1.1 accuracy; its Rotor progression claim is not used here.
- The windows do not establish specific Object Scanner mode rewards or Jetpack and Hazmat Suit milestone details.
