You cant play with mods on 1.0 yet!

If you're trying to launch the game without mods:
1.0 has renamed the game target, preventing SMM from being able to automatically uninstall mods for you.
1. To manually turn off 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
- Even after you do this, SMM still won't work, and you will still get the "invalid installs" error message! 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 have issues launching the game after this, also delete the FactoryGame/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, post the next error you get!
-# Responding to smm1.0 triggered by @frostedfirei still get this error because i do not have a mods folder so i cant follow this guide
Solution
i understand it wont work but my error isnt saying invalid installs? will i just have to wait an dsee if it changes when support for 1.0 releases?
If you can play the game through Steam but SMM isn't working for you, then everything is as it should be.
this is your error, right?
2024-09-11 15:52:46:469 [ERROR - FRONTEND] 1 Satisfactory install was found, but it points to a folder that doesn't exist. "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Satisfactory"
indeed, understood and i was misunderstanding, apologies for being an absolute plum
no worries, at least you actually posted in #help-using-mods instead of #satisfactory 🙃
enjoy 1.0 and keep your eyes on #announcements for when stuff changes
I updated the bot message to minimize confusion, it says "folder that does not exist" now instead of "invalid installs"
thank you should cut down on us idiots annoying you haha
