Solution:
What you're doing wrong is using the mod manager at all - mods aren't ready for 1.0 yet

This is how you run Satisfactory 0.8.3.3 (on windows)

---- This only works for Steam, not Epic. I don't believe Epic has any option. ---- Note: This is mostly the guide from the wiki, with one new extra step at the end. SMM won't see the install when done my way, because I kept it as simple as possible. Note: When a line has something like [blablabla], copy and paste everything BETWEEN the square brackets, not the brackets....

FactoryGame Crash Log

Alright, Tried loading the game normally through Steam, Wouldn't let me because of the Mod Manager, Ok cool. Opened the mod manager and it stayed on the darkened screen of 1 game file install located but not where it thinks it is. Ok fine, I hopped onto the discord and found people having the same issue. I went in and deleted the mods folder. I closed the Mod Manager and loaded up, Same issue with file location. Ok uninstalled and reinstalled Satisfactory on Steam. Next issue popped up the same issue with plugin errors could not be found. So I went in, Deleted the plugins folders and revalidated files. Tried opening again and this error started showing up. I have even at this stage deleted the Mod Manager program from the computer and uninstalled and reverified my game another 2 times each and I'm still getting this issue. I have also updated my graphics drivers so I know that's not an issue....

Mod manager won't work

I uninstalled Satisfactory and mod manager Cleaned everything (deleted Factorygame folder) And still got that message attached. Thanks...
Solution:
Yes, this is expected, deleting your mods folder lets you launch the game through steam, SMM is broken and will need to be updated for 1.0
