USAGE.md

Note

Until such time as steamcmd supports openid auth, this repository will not provide a fully-automated means of fetching Docs.json.

Setup

1. create a docker volume for the Satisfactory Steam app directory docker volume create --driver local --opt type=none --opt o=bind --opt device="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_526870" steamapps_satisfactory
   • if this fails, it'll likely be due to the directory already having contents in it.
2. open in a devcontainer-supporting IDE (e.g. vscode)

Usage

1. Refer to steps 3-6 of Temporal_Illusion's Reddit Post for instructions on how to use steamcmd to download old versions of Satisfactory.
2. Refer to versions.json or README.md for the manifest ids needed in step 4
3. For each version of Docs.json required, after step 6 has completed run make exfiltrate
   • if successful, you should see that the version you wished to download is listed as true in the "currently_installed" column

Example

Modifying versions.json

1. Refer to the Satisfactory Wiki's archive of Patch Notes to obtain the version & release date for an unlisted version of Satisfactory.
2. Using the release date obtained in the previous step, refer to steps 1-6 of Temporal_Illusion's Reddit Post in order to download an unlisted version of Satisfactory
3. Copy the manifest id and version to versions.json as a new entry under game.windows.builds
4. Run make sha512
5. Copy the sha-512 hex digest of the appropriate file to the new entry you are adding.
