Satisfactory Motion Sickness: Why It Happens & What Helps
Satisfactory is a first-person open-world factory game, and its options include a section named Motion Sickness. The Satisfactory Wiki's list of the Options menu puts field of view, camera shake, camera tilt feedback and motion blur under Accessibility > Motion Sickness. Steam also lists the game under Camera Comfort. The one thing missing is a head bob switch: the wiki's changelog says it was removed in Patch 1.0.

Why Satisfactory can trigger motion sickness
You spend long stretches in first person, walking, jumping and building across a large world. Camera shake adds movement on impacts and explosions, and the Chainsaw is called out as a source. Camera tilt adds more when the game moves you automatically, as in Hypertubes, and Coffee Stain gives it a strength slider. Motion blur is off by default. Because all of this is in one menu section, you can remove each effect without hunting for it.
- Camera shake from impacts, explosions and the Chainsaw
- Camera tilt that shows acceleration in Hypertubes and other automatic transport
- First-person exploration and combat across a large open world

Comfort settings in Satisfactory
Satisfactory ships a full set of comfort settings.
The Satisfactory Wiki's changelog says the Gameplay > Camera > Head Bobbing option was removed in Patch 1.0, and the Motion Sickness section lists no head bob setting. If walking sway is your trigger, the menu has no switch for it.
| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Field of View | Options > Accessibility > Motion Sickness | Raise it from the default of 90. The range is 60 to 120 |
| First Person FOV Modifier | Options > Accessibility > Motion Sickness | Adjust it if the held equipment looks too close after you raise the field of view. The range is 0.5 to 2 and the default is 0.5 |
| Camera Movement Feedback Strength | Options > Accessibility > Motion Sickness | Lower it toward 0 to cut the camera tilt in Hypertubes and other automatic transport. The range is 0 to 150 percent and the default is 100 |
| Camera Shake Intensity | Options > Accessibility > Motion Sickness | Off. Setting it to 0 fully disables the shake, including from the Chainsaw |
| Motion Blur | Options > Accessibility > Motion Sickness | Leave it Off, which is the default |
One guide explains these settings for every game: how field of view, motion blur, head bob and camera shake trigger motion sickness.

- Raise the field of view in steps from the default of 90, and lower Camera Movement Feedback Strength if Hypertubes bother you.
- Take breaks sooner than the game's default reminder every 2 hours, and stop at the first queasy signal.
