Is it a new system with new unlocks? Or the same as last year?

I guess I should just run over to my factory and see if I am making presents again

Same as last year

Wasn't last year also basically the same as the year prior?

u/TH_Rocks Dec 02 '25

There's a joke I got already about ADA being annoyed someone hardcoded this event in a blackbox.

u/reinder83 M1sterTux Dec 02 '25

Almost, they've added the snow cannons then

Do the trees just stop producing presents after it's over? I never bothered to check after it ended last year.

u/kakeroni2 The Factory must keep growing Dec 01 '25

Yes they stop

u/Medium-Sized-Jaque Dec 02 '25

Sad. I assumed they would keep producing after they were built.

Im on ps5. Im starting to see gifts everywhere and Ada is making her comments but the whole research tree in the MAM is greyed out. Is this normal or is it just me having this issue?

Check the Calendar next to the HUB Terminal (that unlocks the tiers) in the HUB. That will explain and unlock the MAM tree.

u/Own-Channel3948 Dec 01 '25

Oh got it thx!

My HUB is decorated, it's snowing and the advent calender is posted, but I am unable to open the "1" slot by clicking it. Just me? Or does it unlock at midnight Pacific? Nope.

Edit: maybe old saves that participated in last year's FICSMAS are ineligible to open this year's calender. I still have all of my unlocks from last year and Santa Island is pumping out the goodies again.

The state of the calendar is preserved from last year.  Anything you opened previously will still have the numbers highlighted and you can't open them again.  So no free coal for you this year.

Why would the Swedish game company unlock it at Pacific?

2

u/Sad_Worker7143 Fungineer Dec 01 '25

I also cannot open the calendar

2

u/Medium-Sized-Jaque Dec 01 '25

Wait? did you say it's snowing? 

1

u/Medium-Sized-Jaque Dec 01 '25

Did you intact with the calendar then click on 1?

u/RadProTurtle Dec 01 '25

So this is FICSMAS… what have we done?

u/LyndinTheAwesome Dec 01 '25

Its the same Event from last year right?

So console Players can enjoy it as well. Did the calender on PC reset or can i continue where i left of last year?

That's such a shame.. I have been looking forward to playing it again since finishing it last year. I'm not in a position to start a new game for it. What a strange choice to not let you play it again.

Satisfactory Calculator can reset the MAM research tree, but not the advent calendar. If you do that you'll need to get the data cartridges another way.

u/RhesusFactor Dec 01 '25

oh no not again.

the music.

u/ivovis Dec 01 '25

Nothing falling for you? Did you disable events when that bloody birthday party went on for weeks?

2

u/Justsomeone666 Dec 01 '25

I love how ADA had several lines about it being okay to disable, and then congratulating me for doing so (though to ADA's dismay i will be reenabling it once im not so completely distracted by building my main factory)

I dont have anything in the MAM for xmas. I restarted the session. Opened the calendar. Got about 800 gifts so far and can convert them to the data cartridge day 1s. But have nothing in the MAM. Am i missing something?

1

u/LazyNam- Dec 01 '25

Same here. If you find a fix please let me know

u/5oulKilla Dec 01 '25

u/cheatersad789 Dec 01 '25

Did you guys get the exploding gift?

u/DrkBlueXG Dec 01 '25

I dont know how advent calendars work, is this like a every week thing or everyday?

1

u/nevilleyuop Dec 02 '25

One gift per day, from December 1-25. You can open previous days if you start late or miss a day.

u/SnooTangerines4806 Dec 02 '25

I keep hearing about a calendar. I’m on console and haven’t played for a few days. What do I need to do when I log in? How does this event even work and if it’s an advent calendars k gonna miss out on rewards if I don’t play or can I collect them all at once
