cant launch modded satisfactory "SMM cant launch this install"
After trouble shooting i cannot seem to figure out the problem. My innitial assumption is that 'Structural Solutions' is conflicting with another mod but when it is disabled the game is still unable to launch through the mod manager. see the attached zip file for debug info

triggered by @Quebechttps://ficsit.app/mod/TrainTable ― as per the modpage, this mod does not work on dedicated servers.
mod removal did not solve issue
Could you please re-upload this file. It seems that the archive is damaged, and cannot be opened.
let me know if this works

Potentially a cert/firewall issue. Are you able to run the server and connect without mods loaded at all?
let me try right now
server works perfectly fine without mods
when mods are on. launching satisfactory through steam returns a "cannot join modded server on a vanilla client" message upon opening server manager
so i cant launch my client as modded at all

"SMM can't launch this install" is not an error and is not related. It's a server, use the normal means of stopping/starting the server
You need to install the mods client side too
>multiplayer
In general, assume all players need the same set of mods installed to play together. There are some exceptions. Learn about those exceptions, and how to identify if mods are multiplayer compatible, here: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#MultiplayerSupport
is that not what SMM does?
i have connected my server through SMM and it has been running according to the console
but i have no way to open my modded game which from my understanding is accessed through SMM
SMM can install mods on any sides it can connect to including the server
To manage client mods, switch to that install, and select the same profile
ahhhhhh bingo
going through that right now let me have a try
alright that worked but im getting a crash each time i try and join the server
Post the debug info for it then please.

Something is causing the replication reliable buffer of
[UActorChannel] Actor: FUR_Subsystem_C /Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level.Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.FoundationsUnderRailways_FUR_Subsystem_C
to be overburdened! The limit is 8 but there were 325 items.
This crash tends to happen when joining a multiplayer game with a lot of content. It can sometimes take a while, ex. a certain number of buildings placed or schematics to be unlocked, for the problem to actually appear. Try the following:
- Installing the "Fix Reliable Buffer Overflow" mod created by the SML team to mitigate one of the most common causes of this crash
- Removing mods that introduce lots of recipes or schematics (HUB/MAM/shop unlocks) or Mod Savegame Settings.

currently able to launch modded satisfactory but after waiting through a loading screen after joining the server it boots me back to the main menu
Sorry I've been on mobile the whole day and can't check
Think you've just got to cut down on content and stuff to replicate then yeah
