Satisfactory Hard Drive Guide: Locations, Requirements, & Blueprints

(Estimated Read Time: 11 Minutes)

Crash sites scattered across the map are the source of hard drives in Satisfactory, but each has unique requirements for the items within to be obtained. So, today, we explore every hard drive location and their requirements biome by biome in our satisfactory hard drive guide.

All Satisfactory Hard Drive Locations

Image Source: Satisfactory Wiki In the following sections, we have organized crash sites by their respective biomes. While on this venture, hostile enemies and environmental hazards are likely to be encountered, so we recommend preparing for a bit of the unknown in addition to the listed requirements.

Blueprints

Image Source: Satisfactory Wiki Upon successfully gathering the contents of a crash site, a variety of items are rewarded alongside the coveted Satisfactory hard drive, granting the choice of two random alternative blueprints. Alternative blueprints offer powerful variants of standard blueprints and can greatly affect one’s progress. As of the official Satisfactory release, this choice does not need to be made right away. Many players choose to save and reload until they get the recipe they desire, but official methods remain RNG.
