Huh, never seen this one before. Looks like your mod cache is corrupted, I think there's a button to clear it somewhere
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•3w ago
I'll give it a shot.
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•3w ago
I didn't see where to reset the cache...so, I relocated it. Afterwards, there was one mod that needed updated and I tried it. Here's the debug log:

that version is for the experimental branch, and I think you're not using that branch so you shouldn't need it
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•3w ago
I've got it set to steam... (I do have epic experimental installed). I just tried to update 2 mods this time...and, it still shutdown.

I think it might be because I have so many mods. I created another profile...and, it's working just fine.
sjhoward
sjhoward•3w ago
I don't have a good enough connection to download your zip at the moment (I'm basically in a field 😆), but what do you mean by "still shutdown"? Too many mods is generally not a problem
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•3w ago
It just closes up. I don't think it even did the updates.
sjhoward
sjhoward•3w ago
SMM closes?
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•3w ago
Oh wow, thanks for helping me. Yeah. SMM closes.
sjhoward
sjhoward•3w ago
Huh that's definitely unexpected, nothing in your original log suggests why @Mircea (Area Actions) any ideas why SMM would spontaneously close?
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•3w ago
I just added 7 mods to the game using the manual method and, it worked flawlessly.
Mircea
Mircea•3w ago
I am aware of it sometimes crashing while updating mods, but I didn't have time to look into it. Not sure if it's happening on some specific mod versions or just in general
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•3w ago
I can't tell you about specific mods...but, from the last debug, I had 394 mods (holy cow!) and after switching from my test profile (13 mods?) to my original profile, SMM crashed again - or, just shutdown.
sjhoward
sjhoward•3w ago
Ok 394 might be a new record
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•3w ago
I didn't know...everybody just keeps making cool as hell mods and I just have to hit the add button... 🙂
Mircea
Mircea•3w ago
Huh, so just switching to the profile causes the crash? That's new
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•3w ago
Yup. With that many mods, switching to the old profile caused a crash. @Mircea (Area Actions)
Mircea
Mircea•3w ago
Can you send your profiles.json from %appdata%\ficsit and the lock-<brokenprofilename>.json from <your game install dir>\FactoryGame\Mods?
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•3w ago
sure. just sec
Mircea
Mircea•3w ago
Just to manage expectations, I won't have time to look into it at least until this weekend
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•3w ago
No worries. Thanks for helping me. @Mircea (Area Actions) I just had a random idea to have winrar do an archive test on all the mod files. It found the following errors:

Since it crashes while trying to install some mods, that sounds about right, but SMM shouldn't crash from corrupted files, the only way I can see it crashing is a null pointer, or some threading issue
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•7d ago
Hmmm...wish I could help more. @Mircea (Area Actions) It's been a while. Any ideas? Maybe WAY too many mods??
Mircea
Mircea•7d ago
Haven't had time to look into it, sorry, uni has been keeping me busy. I'll try to check it when I get home in a few hours
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•7d ago
Cool cool...thanks!
Mircea
Mircea•7d ago
I'm not getting the crash, but I am getting this
No description
Mircea
Mircea•7d ago
Not sure why I'm getting that though, it usually happens when SMM doesn't get any version for the mod, but I've restarted SMM 3 times already and it's still happening
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•6d ago
Huh, that is weird. Do I have 2 listings for unique turbine?
Mircea
Mircea•5d ago
Oh, it was because I replaced my profiles.json with yours, so my server also selected that profile, which doesn't support servers But I could now reproduce the crash Hmm, and now it's not happening
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
You know,...it kinda happens that way with me too. It'll say there are updates and when I click on update, it brings up the window trying to connect or something...but, then it closes. Sometimes, it'll work just fine. Lately though, closes everytime. When I reopen, I no longer have addons that need to be updated. If I add another one, it'll pause for a bit...then close. Reopen, addon was not added.
Mircea
Mircea•5d ago
Since I can't reproduce it anymore, I made a build of SMM you can use that will show a message box when it crashes and saves the crash to a log https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TOL_aswzHFTVb3kD6P6LrYiuicYwngTw/view?usp=sharing
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
ok! excellent! I'll try it right now. Here's that log. Although, there was no message box. I grabbed a screenshot of what I had seen before it crashed.
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
No description
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
And that's it. After this crash, I deleted the log and ran the app again. I attempted to install your belt to inventory mod and here's the file
Mircea
Mircea•5d ago
The crash isn't going to be in that log, but in the file mentioned in the message box, which should be under %localappdata%\SatisfactoryModManager\crashes
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
No message box was shown...but, I'll check that location. There is no crashes directory.
Mircea
Mircea•5d ago
Try this build. It's not an installer, just the SMM exe directly, and you have to run it from command prompt, so that you can then copy the output from there after it crashes https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zjIX8DcOqgULIcFUB2_alDKLjTiB4ym_/view?usp=sharing
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
ok
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
Here's a screen export
Mircea
Mircea•5d ago
Looks like there should have been more, but the crash was so long command prompt's history couldn't keep it all?
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
damn. you're right. what about powershell?
Mircea
Mircea•5d ago
Maybe, or add > somefile.txt 2>&1 at the end of the command to just dump it all in a file
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
Ok. I'll do that. It's still doing something. I told it to add zoop machines and it's just sitting there saying "Apply one change" hovering over it gives me crossed circle sign... Shall I click on the close button?
Mircea
Mircea•5d ago
Yeah, you can close it and try again
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
something is still going on... going to quick lunch. 10min max
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
Just got back...it looks like it installed the mod. 😦 Here's the log file
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
took 7 minutes to install that mod?? LOL I dunno what to do. 😦
Mircea
Mircea•5d ago
It seems like it was just taking a long time to download some mods, but it should have been showing some progress
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
Just sits there. The play button is red.
PsyberWolf
PsyberWolfOP•5d ago
this version just did an update without any issue. Dunno if it'll help, but, here's the log file:
