Satisfactory File Parser

This is an NPM TypeScript Module to parse Satisfactory Files. Satisfactory is a game released by Coffee Stain Studios.

The Module is written entirely in TypeScript and comes with Type Definitions. Currently, only the built JavaScript and Type Definitions are available. But if needed, the TypeScript source can be provided as well in future versions.

This parser can read, modify and write:

• Save Files .sav
• Blueprint Files .sbp, .sbpcfg

Supported Versions

The version support of the packages is indicated below. Some bugs might still be present, see Bug Reporting further down.

Game Version Files of U5 and below are NOT supported.

Game Version	Package
<= U5	❌
U6 + U7	✅ 0.0.1 - 0.0.34
U8	✅ 0.1.20 - 0.3.7
U1.0	✅ >= 0.4.16

Installation via npm

npm install @etothepii/satisfactory-file-parser

Usage of Save Parsing

I recommend parsing via stream, to save RAM. The binary data of the whole save will still be in memory, but the converted JSON can be streamed. (You can of course keep reading the stream in memory). The returned stream is a readable WHATWG stream of type string and represents a SatisfactorySave object. this object can be serialized again. WHATWG is used by default by browsers. Node js can use them using Writable.toWeb() and Writable.fromWeb() for example.

import * as fs from 'fs';
import * as path from 'path';
import { Writable } from 'stream';
import { WritableStream } from 'stream/web';
import { ReadableStreamParser } from '@etothepii/satisfactory-file-parser';

const filepath = path.join(__dirname, 'MySave.sav');
const file = fs.readFileSync(filepath);
const outJsonPath = path.join(__dirname, 'MySave.json');
const jsonFileStream = fs.createWriteStream(outJsonPath, { highWaterMark: 1024 * 1024 * 200 });     // your outgoing JSON stream. In this case directly to file.
const whatwgWriteStream = Writable.toWeb(jsonFileStream) as WritableStream<string>;                  // convert the file stream to WHATWG-compliant stream

const { stream, startStreaming } = ReadableStreamParser.CreateReadableStreamFromSaveToJson('MySave', file, decompressedBody => {
    console.log('on binary body data.');
}, (progress: number, msg: string | undefined) => {
    // a callback for reporting progress as number [0,1]. Sometimes has a message.
    console.log(`progress`, progress, msg);
});

stream.pipeTo(whatwgWriteStream);
jsonFileStream.on('close', () => {
    // write stream finished
});

startStreaming();

Consequently, writing a parsed save file back is just as easy. The SaveParser has callbacks to assist during syncing on different occasions during the process. For example, when writing the header or when writing a chunk of the save body. The splitting in individual chunks enables you to more easily stream the binary data to somewhere else.

import * as fs from 'fs';
import * as path from 'path';
import { Parser } from "@etothepii/satisfactory-file-parser";

// save is your SatisfactorySave object to serialize. In this example i read it back in from a json file.
const save = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'MySave.json'), {encoding: 'utf-8'}));

let fileHeader: Uint8Array;
const bodyChunks: Uint8Array[] = [];
Parser.WriteSave(save, binaryBeforeCompressed => { 
    console.log('on binary data before being compressed.');
}, header => {
    console.log('on save header.');
    fileHeader = header;
}, chunk => {
    console.log('on save body chunk.');
    bodyChunks.push(chunk);
});

// write complete sav file back to disk
fs.writeFileSync('./MyModifiedSave.sav', Buffer.concat([fileHeader!, ...bodyChunks]));

Old Save Parsing. Deprecated.

For reading a save file (.sav) and parse In-Memory, just pass a Buffer to the parser with the file content.

import * as fs from 'fs';
import { Parser } from "@etothepii/satisfactory-file-parser";

const file = fs.readFileSync('./MySave.sav') as Buffer;
const parsedSave = Parser.ParseSaveFile('MySave', file);

Usage of Blueprint Parsing

Note, that blueprints consist of 2 files. The .sbp main file and the config file .sbpcfg.

import * as fs from 'fs';
import { Parser } from "@etothepii/satisfactory-file-parser";

const mainFile = fs.readFileSync('./MyBlueprint.sbp');
const configFile = fs.readFileSync('./MyBlueprint.sbpcfg');
const parsedBlueprint = Parser.ParseBlueprintFiles('MyBlueprint', mainFile, configFile);

Consequently, writing a blueprint into binary data works the same way with getting callbacks in the same style as the save parsing.

import * as fs from 'fs';
import { Parser } from "@etothepii/satisfactory-file-parser";

let mainFileHeader: Uint8Array;
const mainFileBodyChunks: Uint8Array[] = [];
const summary = Parser.WriteBlueprintFiles(blueprint, mainFileBinaryBeforeCompressed => {
    console.log('on main file binary data before being compressed.');
}, header => {
    console.log('on main file blueprint header.');
    mainFileHeader = header;
}, chunk => {
    console.log('on main file blueprint body chunk.');
    mainFileBodyChunks.push(chunk);
});

// write complete .sbp file back to disk
fs.writeFileSync('./MyModifiedBlueprint.sbp', Buffer.concat([mainFileHeader!, ...mainFileBodyChunks]));

// write .sbpcfg file back to disk, we get that data from the result of WriteBlueprintFiles
fs.writeFileSync('./MyModifiedBlueprint.sbpcfg', Buffer.from(summary.configFileBinary));

Bug Reports or Feedback

So far this was just a private hobby project. But i figure some people actually use it. If you find a bug or have feedback about the parser, you can just hit me up on the satisfactory discord etothepii.
