How to Get the Explorer Vehicle in Satisfactory

 

    

 

Unlocking the Explorer

 

     To rev up in the Explorer, you need to hit a few key milestones in the game. First, you’ll have to dive into the Quartz Research chain in the MAM (Manufacturing Analysis Machine). This isn’t a random task—Quartz Research is a big deal and requires some effort. Here’s the lowdown: you need to gather 10 Crystal Oscillators and 100 Modular Frames. These items are crucial, so stock up and get ready to research!

 

    

 

Building the Explorer

 

     Once you’ve unlocked the Explorer, it’s time to build it. Gather 5 Crystal Oscillators, 5 Motors, 15 Steel Pipes, and 5 Heavy Modular Frames.

 

    

     Now, let’s talk fuel. The Explorer is a hungry beast, but it’s versatile. It can run on a wide array of fuels from Leaves to Plutonium Fuel Rods. You’ll need to fuel it up through the red box in the rear. The more energy-dense the fuel, the longer your exploration sessions will last.

 

    

 

Driving the Explorer

 

     Once you’re fueled and ready, hop into the driver’s seat and hit the road! The Explorer’s nimble handling means you can tackle steep climbs and rough terrain with ease. It’s perfect for those tough-to-reach spots or just cruising around with style. Just keep in mind that running out of fuel will halt your acceleration and braking, so keep an eye on your fuel gauge.

 

    

 

     Automated Routes

 

 

     Feeling a bit lazy or need to set up a routine path? The Explorer’s self-driving feature lets you record automated routes. Just open the self-driving menu (hit Q) and set your path. It’s a super handy feature for those times when you want to focus on other tasks while your Explorer takes care of the driving.

 

    

     Every vehicle has its quirks, and the Explorer is no different. It’s known for a pesky bug where it might teleport to coordinates 0, 0, 0. If this happens, you’ll need to use a save editor to reposition your vehicle. To avoid this, park your Explorer on solid ground rather than a foundation, and you should be good to go!

 

     Getting the Explorer in Satisfactory isn’t just about adding another vehicle to your collection; it’s about transforming your exploration game. With its speed, agility, and ability to handle tough terrain, the Explorer makes traveling and discovery in Satisfactory a breeze. So gather your materials, fuel up, and start exploring the wild and wonderful landscapes of your alien world with your new best friend on wheels!
