Lumen!!

Lumen should be off. Do not make a build that requires Lumen to be active, it likely won't get seen.

Time

Your build time is 2 hours (unless stated otherwise) and you should start as soon as possible.

You are required to be available at least 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after in case there are any issues with timings.

You should always attempt a build that you can complete in less than 2 hours, in case you have a game crash or other technical issues

Extra time is a buffer ideally at the end, to view other builds. Try to get started on your build as soon as possible! Then the remaining time to look over other builds.

Build space

The build grid is to 20 x 20 foundations or 160M x 160M - You are not allowed to go outside of this area. You can place scaffolding outside, but this needs to be removed by the end of your time.

Autosaves

Set your autosave duration to 5-10 minutes. Just incase as Satisfactory could crash.

Since the 1.0 relase, if you have experienced crashes. Try Adding -dx11 to your launch options in steam.

You can ask us in discord if you can't find out how to do this.

Blueprints

Small and non complex blueprints are allowed, but not to be abused.

If you would like to use the blueprint, you must make this before the event and send this for verification to DC

They are to help with something simple like wheels on a vehicle or to assist with something tricky, NOT to spam lots of objects.

Pixel Art is fine - 2D and simple blueprints, nothing glithcy or to achive an effect! Pixel art should be non-animated and 2D.

Naming your Signs

Please name the numbered signs with your twitch name (TIP: make it easy to read)

Don't forget to name your build, Feel free to add another sign if required and a description if required

Raid

Raid out to the next person at the correct time (all going well). Reminder you are required to be around 30 minutes before and 30 minues after your slot, just in case.

VOTE!!

Remember to vote. Voting should commence a few days after the event.
(Voting will last 1 week, so we can announce the winner)

Failure to vote, could lead to missing future events.

Pre-roll

(Affiliates only) Run an ad break 10-15 mins before you're raided to disable the pre-roll for everyone joining.

Loading

The save file should be ready before your raid is received. This will be located in the GG discord

If you need a hand with your save file location or finding the channel in Discord, please ask one of the Coordinatiors/Team in discord.

Saving

Save the game when your build time is over. Then upload to discord. DO THIS BEFORE LOOKING AT OTHER BUILDS!

Save the game as YOUR build/slot number. ie: pio_viii_09 for the 9th slot.

[tip: Save the game as this before you build, it will save you time later]

If you need a hand with location your save file location, please ask one of us in discord.

Mods

PAK & Sky UI Only!

Overlay

Browser Source This is unique to you and if you have taken part before this is already available in the dashboard.

If this is your first time, once you have been approved you can find this in your dashboard.

Nuclear items

Please use Nuclear items with Caution! It is not fair to radiate your build and spill out to others.

Colours and lights

Please do not change the default colour picker colours or lights. You can use custom colours, consider using a notepad of your colours to make this easier for you during your build.

Timer, bot and commands

The PIO_event bot should be automatically added to your twitch channel shortly after you register.

The bot will not talk unless one of the following commands is typed -

• !pio

  Shows event details.

• !now

  * Who is on now.

• !next

  * Who is on next.

• !piostart

  Starts YOUR timer and displays this on YOUR overlay only. Note: only the streamer can run this on their own channel.

•  

  If the command does not start, please try again after 2 minutes. This is a bug we are working on.

* These will be updated shortly to all be prefixed with !pio <command> - so as not to interfere with other commands

Clips

Encourage chat to make clips. Chat likes to be involved, like guessing what you are building.

Hotbars

You can set up your hotbar(s) before you start your timer!
