New Satisfactory Mac gamer - SMM cannot find install location

Hi, I purchased Satisfactory in the recent Steam sale and have really enjoyed the game so far. However, now I would like to use some mods so I installed SMM but it cannot find my Steam install location. I have a fairly unique installation on my MacBook Pro (M4 Max). Satisfactory runs great using Steam Windows installed on Wine along with several other Steam Windows games. I used a great resource to get Steam Windows installed and installing any Steam Windows games is now just a matter of doing a regular game installation on Steam. I am using the Mac version of SMM as I could not get Steam to run SMM Windows (as an external app). SMM Windows probably could run but will need some extra Wine parameters that is beyond my knowledge. r2modman runs fine though so I used those wine parameters with SMM (I found those on the Whisky forum) but it still did not run. ...

Moved game files to another ssd

One of my ssd was getting full so i moved Satisfactory to another ssd to clear some space but now the mod manager isn't able to install any mods anymore.

Solution:

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.

Internet (Ethernet) stops working when updating mods

Hi, I'm having this ** problem with the SMM, I check for updates, shows x available... and when I click update, it starts downloading but a few seconds later, THE WHOLE PC, losses access to the Internet (I'm using cable via ethernet, not wifi). The modem works fine (Since the mobile phones are connected to the wifi and have no problem). BUT, the Ethernet cable that I'm using in the PC is the one that stops working. I can't reconnect until I restart the PC. When I restart the PC, I use SMM and shows no update available (Even if I certainly know that of the 7, it barely started downloading just 1 before the problem happens). ...

https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#_launching_the_backup_copy

You WILL NOT be able to use SMM to manage mods for copies outside of your launcher’s folder, so make sure that you have all the mods you want and that the game runs at a level of stability you’re happy with. You may need to switch to an older version of SMM or install mods manually. Remember, we offer no support for this process - you’re on your own here....

Simple Portals Teleporter unable to link more than 2 Portal sets.

Hello @AndreAquila I am attempting to setup some portals but when I attempt to link a 3rd set either the 3rd set breaks or another set breaks. Initially I had two portals set; one that leads from my base in the desert to 0,0 and one the goes from the ground to the building I made in the sky above 0,0. When trying to link a 3rd set of portals from my grassland base to 0,0 the portal set will function one time and then break. I have had this happen a number of times now....

SMM Update Information

I am getting this issue, SMM shows my mods are out of date but when I go to updat them they are already on the latest version.

Solution:

OK, I fixed the issue but here are my repro steps in case this pops up again.... I've always used the Server Profile, and just launched the game via Steam versus SMM, however with these recent updates, I had to switch to my Client Install, manually check for updates, apply those updates, and then relaunch. This is what fixed the issue with SSM/Client discrepancy, or perceived discrepancy I guess....
