renaming items
Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to rename the vanilla items but effectively have satisfactory still be vanilla.
I found a mod called
Rename everything - CL that does allow for that, I am able to rename items... But I am looking for something diffrent.
I am currently playing with my friend and brother, and I want all of us to have the same item names however, I don't want them to need to do any setup.
My first idea was to see if I can find where the item names are stored for Satisfactory, if they are stored in some DLL file or other recourse file, then I can edit it to change the names and switch that file out on their computers. However, I dont know if there actually is a location that holds all of the item names, and I also dont know if such a file contains other information that is important to the user and thus mess everything up.
If someone happens to have the knowledge on if this first method is possible, I would love to know what file it is and how I can navigate it. But I have a feeling that its not worth the trouble.
That leads me back to the rename everything mod I just found. I don't know if there is a way for me to rename all the items I want, and then setup their satisfactory installations to use those names.
To be clear, I don't want them to have to go through the entire process of installing a mod manager and getting the mod and configuring it. I am pretty good at BATCH scripting so I can replace and add any file or folder.
What I want to know with this approach is, from a technical perspective, what is needed to load a mod in satisfactory? Is it as simple as adding some things to a specific folder or are there also luanch arguments that I need to tweak? This is probably something I am able to figure out by myself but if anyone with the knowledge wont mind explaining that would save me lots of time.
Also, on the off-chance that it can be done completely server-side. I need to know10 replies
