In-game calculator

The Quick Search in-game N also serves as a simple calculator. The following operators are supported:

• .: Decimal
• + - * /: Arithmetic
• ^: Exponentiation / Power of
• %: Remainder
• ( ): Parenthesis
• sqrt( ): Square root

Other roots are possible using fractional exponentiation such as 8^(1/3)=2. The calculator enforces the order of operations.

Controller

Satisfactory used to have unofficial partial controller support using legacy leftover inputs from default Unreal Engine 4, but that functionality was removed in Update 8, as a result of the upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 to allow players to remap controls using third-party software in order to create their own custom controller layouts.

Official controller support may be introduced after the release of Version 1.0.
