Satisfactory entered Early Access way back in 2019, but over five years of development later, it officially released in September 2024, with console versions following last month. For some players, Satisfactory FICSMAS 2025 will be their first, and Coffee Stain Studios isn’t ready to disappoint, as the game’s Christmas-inspired event enters its sixth year.
Straight from Coffee Stain Studios:
The festive spirit is returning to Satisfactory, rolling across the production lines with a cheerful clatter! Coffee Stain Studios’ fan-favourite and award winning factory-building simulator welcomes back its beloved free in-game FICSMAS event from December 1st to January 18th! The FICSMAS event returns this year for PC fans of the hit automation sim, and for the newly recruited console players.
During this limited-time celebration, players will notice gifts raining down from the sky, and a festive Advent Calendar with an unexpected twist waiting inside the HUB. By unlocking those daily calendar doors, players can enjoy an assortment of holiday decorations, including a shimmering FICSMAS tree and festive ornaments to adorn their well-crafted constructions.
Coffee Stain Studios will also herald the return of the FICSMAS Community Competition, where players are invited to put on their most festive construction hats to create the ultimate festive FICSMAS scene – a jolly construction that doesn’t just look the part, but also operates with peak factory efficiency. This year, players can construct their functional-yet-festive workshops for two categories: PC FICSMAS Build of the Year and Console FICSMAS Build of the Year.
Running from now until January 9th, entries will be judged on creativity, functionality, and just how outrageously they lean into the FICSMAS spirit, with lots of goodies to be won for both PC and console players.
About FICSMAS
Advent Calendar
- For each day from December 1st and 25th, players can open a new door in the HUB-located Advent Calendar packed with seasonal goodies to put to use.
- These goodies range from resources and festive skins to FICSMAS recipes, decorations, FICSIT Coupons, piles of snow, and plenty more surprises.
- For players who need a little guidance, a helpful hint button is located in the bottom-right corner of the menu.
- All doors can also be opened retroactively for the duration of the FICSMAS event, so no need to worry about missing a day, as your goodies will be waiting for you to collect.
Gift Drops
- Heads up! MASSAGE-2(A-B)b is getting showered with enormous parachuting presents, descending softly onto the factory floors.
- Collect these FICSMAS presents and run them through MAM research and production buildings to unlock new items.
New MAM Research
- The FICSMAS Holiday Event research tree is now live, packed with 13 festive items for players to uncover and complete.
Optional Event
FICSMAS is an optional event which can be toggled on and off in the settings menu.
Players interested in joining the Satisfactory FICSMAS 2025 event can do so right now, on both PC and consoles, and if you’d like to enter the competition, simply submit your creations on the Satisfactory subreddit r/satisfactorygame, with screenshots or a video showing off your creations – and don’t forget the Contest flair!
