Server crashing due to installing any mods

Dear forum members,
for some time now we have been creating and maintaining new ways to help game server admins with questions and problems as quickly as possible, e.g. our Guides section and the Nitrado Community Discord.

Therefore, we inform you that the Nitrado Forum will be closed on March 31, 2023. We are consolidating our community support to our Discord channel, which is faster and more efficient. We have also seen incredible growth in our community due to the hard work of our moderators and our bots. We are confident that this move will ensure that we provide the best support possible for our users.

Thank you to all members for your continued use of the forum!

Assistance with all questions concerning your Nitrado service can now be found in these spots:

    Hello,


    A friend and I wanted to play Satisfactory on a dedicated server from Nitrado and play it with mods.


    I noticed the web interface feature is still in development, so I cannot use this way to get mods to work.


    I did find via google that there is a whole Nitrado page on most popular mods in Satisfactory (Most Popular Satisfactory Mods | nitrado.net) and how to install the mods via the FTP.


    I installed the mods per the web page, but whenever I try to start the server, it shows it is Offline/NotAuthorized/etc. I notice on the web interface page that is shows "Server is online" but will randomly show the animation for "Server is shutting down" but stops after a few seconds. I then deduced that the server is crashing, as when I remove the mods and restart the server it works just fine.


    I did install the "normal" version of Satisfactory , not the "-Experimental" one underneath it. I assume the normal one is Update 5 right? The Experimental is currently Update 6, which will cause issues with mods and why I did not choose that one.


    I did try removing all mods and just installing the SML (Satisfactory Mod Loader) that I copied from my local directory and pasted into the Mods folder, as directed in the website I pasted above on Nitrado's official website. The server still just crashed.


    Has anyone had any success running a modded server via Nitrado? We'll play the vanilla game as it is great on its own, but mods like Smart, MK++ are just great additions and we would love to enjoy them with our long game play through.


    For reference, the only mods I wanted to use were: Smart, MK++ , Advanced Logistics, Underground Belts.


    Thank you for any support and guidance folks have.

    Having the same issue... the only reason I even bought a Satisfactory server was that guide on how to install the mods and now I am unable to do so.

    Support directed me to the forum saying they don't deal with these issues which seems odd seeing as it is the same company as the one posting the guide on their site...


    If anyone knows anything it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
