Every mod will have to be updated by the devs too.
how does modding work in this game if you don't mind asking I thought the game devs had a webpage with some tutorial links to unreal etc i didn't think you'd need a third party app for modding
>docs
Here is the modding documentation: https://docs.ficsit.app/
Here you can find all informations to start making mods
if you want a more layman's definition:
The SML - Satisfactory Mod Loader - is a helping layer that facilitates communication between the game engine and the mod.
Modding is still unofficial, but CSS was very kind and helpful in getting it to the point where its basically built as part of the game itself, just no official support for it.
As such, mods need to be built for a specific version of the game, and SML needs to know how to facilitate a mod integrating with the game. Both need to be updated to work - SML first, and then modders need to rebuild their mods for the latest version. (for a lot of simple mods, its just hit a button, wait for the process to be done, and upload) until SML is released to everyone tho it wont do anygood because that part is still needed
(that is a simplified explination taking a few liberties and a few 'jumps' in logic, but its the gist of the situation)
Hi, Andre. Can I ask you something? I've built SML dev with alpakit, your latest mods are loaded in the game but they're not working? What am I doing wrong?
as far as I'm aware, Andre has not realeased any V1 mods. He's released some U8 mods post V1 launch, though...
Oh, I misunderstood it then, one of his mods was tested in 1.0 so I though he released for this update
no 1.0 mods will release until the whole shebang is ready for them
does anyone know when mods will be ready? like roughly ?
>eta
The team is working on getting the tools updated for 1.0. There is no ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), nor will there be. See https://github.com/orgs/satisfactorymodding/projects/15/?pane=info for an overview of tasks with an overall status message. Watch https://discord.com/channels/555424930502541343/708384236159107129 for live progress updates.
We will ping everyone in https://discord.com/channels/555424930502541343/555428529903239178 when mods are ready.
