First-person open-world factory building game Satisfactory is about to get noticeably more festive with the arrival of its Ficsmas 2025 event. Starting today, December 1, and ending on January 18, it not only sees gifts dropping from the sky but also includes an Advent Calendar with holiday-themed rewards.
It is also accompanied by Satisfactory’s 2025 Ficsmas Community Competition, which runs until January 9, challenging players with designing the “ultimate festive scene.” The most impressive creations will earn their creators vouchers for the Coffee Stain merch store alongside game codes to share with friends.
Satisfactory Ficsmas 2025 Event and Community Competition
Satisfactory’s Ficsmas 2025 event has several components. If you head to the Hub, you’ll notice an Advent Calendar that allows you to open a new door each day between December 1 and December 25. Doing so yields rewards ranging from “resources and festive skins to FICSMAS recipes, decorations, FICSIT Coupons, piles of snow, and plenty more surprises.”
If you can’t log in during any of the days, there’s no need to worry, as the Advent Calendar’s doors can be opened retroactively while Satisfactory’s Ficsmas 2025 event is live.
Furthermore, you’ll notice presents dropping from the sky. Collecting them and running them through MAM research and production buildings also unlocks new items.
There’s also a FICSMAS Holiday Event research tree that lets you grab an additional 13 festive items. And, if you’re not feeling all that festive after all, the event can be toggled on and off from the settings menu.
Satisfactory’s 2025 Ficsmas Community Competition challenges players with doing their best at designing a “jolly construction that not only looks the part but also operates with peak factory efficiency.”
Split into two categories, one for PC, another for consoles, submitted entries will be judged “based on creativity, functionality, and how fully they embrace the FICSMAS spirit.”
To enter, you simply need to capture screenshots or record a video of your creation and share it on the game’s official Reddit community with the Contest flair. You can find more details in this post.
Satisfactory’s 2025 Ficsmas Community Competition runs until January 9. The winning submission receives a $500 voucher for the LizardDoggo merch store alongside a Xenobasher replica. The first 10 submissions receive three copies of Satisfactory to share with friends.
