Mod manager isn't working probably can't find game
The mod manager isn't working. It's giving me a no sign over everything. I think this is because it can't find the game.

Is in the log. The H: drive died, which is why the files aren't there. But they are in the D:\steamLibrary. I have no way to tell it to go there, though.

Best I could tell I didn't see this answered in the FAQs.

SMM queries the APIs of the EPIC and Steam game store apps to determine where your game is. If you moved its location after installation manually, your installer client will not know where it is. You will need to reinstall your game through your store client so that it is in a known location. This will not affect your saves.
Okay, but the H drive doesn't exist now.
I maybe could make a partitian and name it H:... but isn't there a way to just tell it to stop looking there? Reset things?
(Thank you for the quick response, btw)
Can you start the game through Steam?
If you can, generate a debug info right after
>debug
We need more information to help you. Before launching the game again, open the Mod Manager and use the "Generate debug info" option, then send the zip file produced in #help-using-mods. This ensures that your help request won't get buried and forgotten in other, non-help channels!

Of note, I get this when I go to steam.
But I'll hit yes.
That's Mk++ mod, which hasn't been updated for 1.0
You should be able to start you game if you delete the Mods folder located at
[GameMainFolder]\FactoryGame\I was able to start it regardless. Hitting yes started the game no problem.
Now to find the debug info...
Restart SMM, it should find the proper path

Oh! It did! Didn't even restart it... at least I think it is working.

I... am not sure I even had a lot of saves with it. I'm mostly trying to get Archipelago to work... if you are familiar. If not, it's fine. That part I should be able to figure...
