Structure solution bug
I wouldn't worry about it. Efficiency Checker's FOV issue was only brought up as a comparison for what was actually happening to them ― there was a bit of a language barrier I think.

Hey there I tried opening satisfactory though SMM it said :the location of the game: Acceses denied
Also, come to mention it, are you sure the game is actually stopped? https://discord.com/channels/555424930502541343/555505343031934979/1357062584330748004

Internet (Ethernet) stops working when updating mods
I'm pretty sure SMM just uses curl to grab from a remote endpoint over HTTPS. That in itself shouldn't be responsible for a network fallover without that network having some serious issues elsewhere. But the fact that a check after restart shows no updates available suggests 1) They did actually update, your network problems elsewhere were coincidental symptoms of something else; 2) It didn't update, and something is still blocking SMM from querying the API. The SMM logs should help us get a better look at what SMM itself is doing.

Hey there I tried opening satisfactory though SMM it said :the location of the game: Acceses denied
So, that error is that something in the filesystem is preventing SMM from accessing the file
D:\\Program Files\\x86\\steamapps\\common\\Satisfactory\\FactoryGame\\Mods\\default-lock.json
. Check that the file isn't set to read-only. Either that, or a file/directory permission issue within windows (or some other process currently has it open ― it is only a simple text file, but check your AV hasn't quarantined it or something like that). As a last-resort, you could delete it, SMM might be able to recreate it then.15 replies

Big warning here: if you have selected one or more of the swatches as a default color group be sure to uncheck them before uninstalling otherwise you will not be able to load your save without the mod !

Is your Satisfactory install actually at that location? Also, you mentioned using an older version ― was that through steamcmd?

Build Menu Organiser ― Missing Items
11. Start the game, load into your main save, open the build menu, and notice that a whole bunch of random shit is in the wrong place, without rhyme or reason.
12. Take a shot. Or half the bottle. Whatever.
13. DO NOT EXIT THE GAME. Yes, you'll probably want to rage-quit, but you must hold the line. Just go punch a wall like a normal person.
14. Load back into your "temporary" save (yep, that one that now has 12 hours on the clock).
15. Repeat the process from Step 3 onwards. Rip & tear, until it is done.
16. Once you have broken free of the chains of The Cycle™, and everything is where it should be, you may want to restart the entire game (not just your save) at least 5 times to make sure that what you are seeing is, in fact, real. There is a distinct possibility that, due to the fact that you have now been awake for 48 hours straight, it is not, in fact, real.
17. Should reality be confirmed (suggestion: go grab another person to help with this ― no, not your cat, a real person), you may be permitted to sink to your knees and weep openly, thanking the old gods for granting you respite from horrors that not even Lovecraft could have imagined.
18. Hope you don't wanna install any other mods that add buildables lol.
19. Send a box of chocolates to your mental health crisis team; they'll have been through a lot with you over these past 96 hours.
20. You may now exit & uninstall the game.

Build Menu Organiser ― Missing Items
SOLUTION:
1. Start from scratch. New game, fresh save. [It will only be a temporary working environment, you can return to your main save later.]
2. Use
!unlockall
or AGS to make sure everything is available.
3. Open the build menu (/bm
in chat), make your first change. DO NOT make your second change yet: you will need to save and reload after every individual change that you make. Yes, everything. Change a name or number? Save and reload. Typo something and need to move it back? Save and reload.
4. Do NOT exit the game in between, or at any other point until this guide tells you to. OBEY
5. At this point, you'll probably want to go and grab that bottle of whisky you've been saving. Put on Lord of the Rings in the background while you work through customising the Build Menu. Yup, all 3 movies. Extended Edition.
6. Once you think you're done making your changes, make a separate save. Do not overwrite this save.
7. Type /copybm
in chat. Once the confirmation message appears at the top of your screen, load into your main save.
8. Type /pastebm
in chat. Once the confirmation message appears, save, and reload.
9. [While in your main save, open the build menu. Close the build menu. Save again. Probably unnecessary steps, but at this point, I'm doing voodoo dances in the background to keep this shit going, so the least you can do is open and close the fucking build menu.]
10. Exit the game. [If this is the last step that you're seeing, you probably wanna click through to the OP about now. haha, you thought this was over?]8 replies
