How To Use The Jetpack In Satisfactory

Players will be doing more than just building production lines in Satisfactory. Exploration plays a big part in the game too, and when it comes to vertical traversal, the Jetpack is one of the most convenient tools players can use.

The Jetpack is an equippable item that, as you'd have guessed by now, lets players take to the air for a short duration. It's not quite built for long-distance trips like the Tractor in Satisfactory, but if you're looking to reach higher elevations or cancel impending fall damage, then the Jetpack's got your back.

How To Unlock And Craft The Jetpack In Satisfactory

Jetpack unlock from the HUB Terminal in Satisfactory — Satisfactory Jetpack HUB terminal

First, players will need to unlock Tier 5 by completing all the requirements for the second phase of the Space Elevator and researching Jetpack under Tier 5, which unlocks the necessary crafting specs for materials used for making Jetpacks. Speaking of materials, the ones you need for Jetpack crafting are:

5 Motors
10 Steel Pipes
25 Iron Plates
50 Copper Wire

The ability to craft Motors in Satisfactory is necessary to make Jetpacks, so make sure to research Advanced Steel Production in Tier 4 first. This is also the most complicated material in this list, as it requires Modular Frames, Rotors, Steel Pipes, and Concrete to make. It's best to set up some production lines capable of making these materials first. Once you have enough resources, head to the nearest Equipment Workshop and hand-craft your Jetpack from there.

In earlier versions of the game, the Jetpack used to be a Tier 6 unlock using more advanced materials like Plastic and Circuit Boards. This is no longer the case in the 1.0 version, making the Jetpack far easier to build.

Picking Jetpack fuel in Satisfactory — Satisfactory Jetpack fuel selection

First, equip your Jetpack from your inventory. Once you have it on, press and hold your Jump button to engage the pack's thrusters. The Jetpack can hold enough fuel for roughly three seconds of continuous use, and it will automatically consume any of the following items from your inventory to re-fuel itself once you land:

Solid Biofuel
Packaged Fuel
Packaged Turbofuel
Packaged Liquid Fuel
Packaged Rocket Fuel
Packaged Ionized Fuel

You can choose your preferred fuel type by opening the inventory and clicking on the cogwheel on the Jetpack if it's equipped on your back.

As mentioned earlier, it's great for reaching higher ground and reaching Power Slugs needed to overclock machines in Satisfactory. The neat thing about the Jetpack is that it can also be used to launch players forward when used together with high-speed conveyors and jump pads. Propulsion power depends on the type of fuel you use — the better the fuel, the stronger the lift.
