SMM U8 Rollback Progress
For those who have used SteamDB's depot repository to download back to Update 8, you may get an error about not being able to find the steam directory for the game.
At this time, there is not currently a known fix, best to just play through steam (as this launch an instance of the game you can use to play around while rollback progress is made)
Posting this because I'd like to contribute to the rollback patch to SMM...

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....

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
How do I fix this?

Solution:
(Known issue
TargetRename1.0 / smmsteam1.0 / Temp1.0PluginFailedToLoad) 1.0 has renamed the game target, preventing SMM from being able to automatically uninstall mods.
1. To remove mods, delete the FactoryGame/Mods folder from your game install directory manually. Here's how to find the game install directory: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_GameInstall
- SMM still won't work! You have to launch the game from Epic/Steam for now. Close SMM and don't use it again until we announce that mods are updated.
- If you are still having issues, also delete the Plugins folder then verify your game files to restore it: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#_how_do_i_verify_my_game_files
- If you're still having issues, make sure to post text or a screenshot of the next type of error you get!...
How to replace modded buildings in savefiles with vanilla versions?
Its likely the use of modded buildings from SS and other mods caused a lot of walls and foundations among other things to disappear from my savefile, shown here (no machines, factories or logistics broke luckily!!) Is there any easy way to do a conversion of my savefile to convert the modded versions to vanilla versions? I have also attached it if you want to help
2 Satisfactory installs were found, but all of them point to folders that don't exist.
