FICS*MAS is now active in Satisfactory on PC and, for the first time, on PS5 and Xbox, running from December 1 through January 18. The event mirrors last year with only small bug fixes and the option to turn it off from the main menu at Options > Gameplay > Disable Seasonal Events for players who prefer a year-round factory floor. For players who want to take part in the seasonal fun, the developer has launched a community competition that runs until January 9, 2026. Builders are asked to construct the ultimate FICS*MAS workshop or Santa’s Grotto and share it with the community via the official Reddit thread.
