Automate tractor deliveries to save time in Satisfactory

Satisfactory features tons of resources to collect which can often be at a long distance from each other. Transporting the resources from one place to another can be time-consuming, which is where the tractor's automated feature steps in to help. The tractor can be utilized to transport resources from one location to another if the starting point and destination have a truck station.

Players can even set up more tractors to deliver resources on the same route. Constructing a truck station will cost players x50 Cable, x15 Modular Frame, and x20 Rotor. Once players have set up a truck station at two locations, they can interact with them to set one as a sender of goods and the other as a receiver. Your tractor will often run out of fuel, which can stop the delivery midway.

To avoid this, attach a fuel resource to one of the truck stations to refill the vehicle so that the deliveries don't stop. Once you have assigned the truck stations, drive from one to the other and make sure to record the path. This is the only time you'll have to drive.

Once the path is recorded, you can enable autopilot, which will result in the tractor starting its delivery of goods on its own using the path you recorded for it.
