How to use the jetpack in Satisfactory 1.0
As you progress through your build of the Space Elevator you will eventually come to a blockage. You will need to complete the second part of the Elevator’s production before you can open up Tier 4 and Tier 5, but when you do there are all manner of new goodies without your reach, including oil production and the super-cool new method of travel, the Jet Pack.
How to get around faster in SatisfactoryBy this stage, you will likely have already built the hypertube for speedy travel between areas of your factory that may be located further away. I stupidly built my main base at the start way too far away from my coal-powered generators and spent a stupid amount of time running between the two. A Hypertube lessened that pain as you can just jump into one and sit back until you emerge from the other.
If you develop Blade Runners too you can also run faster and jump more, indeed, you should definitely try to unlock these before you start wandering too far from home base, even if only to just do things faster.
The jet-pack though opens more more of the world than ever before – those rock piles with tantalising alien megafauna on them that have previously been out of reach can now all be scooped up and explored. In short, you really need the jetpack.
How to get the jetpack in Satisfactory
Once Tier Five is unlocked by completing Phase 2 of the Space Elevator, go to your base hub and select the Jetpack milestone. You will need to construct 50 motors, 1,000 cable, and 1,000 iron plates to complete the tier and unlock the Jetpack. I had the last two lying around spare from my factory but I had to make the motors from scratch.
Once unlocked you can construct the jetpack from your engineering bench. You will need 25 iron plates, five more motors, 50 wire, and 10 steel pipes, So nothing that should hold you back really.
Once crafted you can slot the jetpack in the Back slot in your inventory.
How to fuel the jetpackThe jetpack needs fuel to run and will refuel when you are stationary on the ground. It takes a variety of fuel but you can set one type of ‘preferred fuel” by clicking the cog in the inventory. The jetpack will then aim to draw from that resource automatically from your supplies. So if you set it for Solid Biofuel, that is what it will then try to use.
The jetpack comes with no manual so you put it on and then are left to work it out for yourself. Basically you will be using and tapping the jump button (space) to gain altitude up to its maximum.
Where the jetpack comes into its own however is via horizontal travel as once you are in the air you can basically fly forwards by tapping the spacebar at the same time and cover great distances quickly. It works even better if you jump off a ledge or building to gain some extra altitude.
