Issue getting Dedicated server running with mods.
Hello everyone,
This is a newbie question 100% but here we go.
- My friend and I went through vanilla satisfactory yesterday on my dedicated server on my computer.
- Now we want to start again with mods instead. I have the mod profile we want to use.
- For some reason I can't seem to get a proper server to load with the mods.
see screenshot one for the path
see screenshot 2 for the error message of : installation already exists.
- I have tried deleting the whole thing. deleting satisfactory dedicated server from steam and re-installing it.
But it just won't work at all and I couldn't find anywhere an answer to it.
Hopefully someone has a really easy answer for my dumb self to be able to fix it.
Thank you

Go to "Select Game Installation" at the top left of SMM and choose the server from the drop down box
Local steam/epic server installations are automatically detected
ohh yes I see that now
thank you
let me see what I can do with that
ok, now I still get that same message of installation already exists. If I select any other random folder, it just tells me there is no executable file.
I'm for sure missing something real easy
or should I just press Play Satisfactory from the Server in the drop down box
where are you selecting a folder?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer
if the server's already in the drop down box, it just needs to be on the same profile as your client - you shouldn't need to do anything in Manage Servers
from Other > Manage Servers
yes it is there.
but it's probably using the old vanilla server we had before
we want to run a brand new server from scratch with mods
are you saying you've installed a second server somewhere? because you don't need to, you can just start a new save on the same server
and if the server is on the same modding profile as your game, it'll have recieved the same mod installations when you added them for your client
ohhh nice, so I just need to start the satisfactoryserver.exe now
should do, yep!
since I put both profile on the same
I'm an idiot
thank you
let me try that real quick
no problem!
fingers crossed!
it works!!!!
thank you so much!
no problem, have fun 😄
it was just the profile thing I didn't get. now it's just to mirror both mod profile on both my client and my server.
