What to study

Building in Satisfactory is labelled in the middle of the screen and drawn on the world itself. The only flat UI is two lines, 'Currently Building: Universal Vehicle Path' and a small pill naming the mode, 'Build Mode: Default', while everything else is the hologram: translucent chevron bands in cyan, green and yellow poured over both bridge decks so the vehicle path's direction, lanes and merge read at a glance before anything is committed, against road surfaces already printed with truck pictograms. The transparent hypertube crossing between the bridges makes the layering point: in this game a plan is not a separate screen you visit, it is a coloured ghost laid over the factory you already have, and the Build Gun in the pioneer's hand is the cursor. Frame at about 0:32 in the 1.2 Update trailer (Steam), manually extracted at 32.0s for the tightest framing: the scene-change pass caught the same build state 0.7s earlier (candidates/v0_0008.png at 31.3s) from a wider angle. No trailer caption, watermark or logo is burned into this frame.
