How to downgrade Satisfactory?
Want to continue my playthrough of Satisfactory Plus but it crashes cuz im in 1.0 version. How do I redownload Update 8?
Solution:
It's possible to use SteamCMD to go back to previous versions of the game. This only works if you own the game on Steam - there is no alternative for Epic. For Epic, you must back a backup of the game files before the update occurs (so turn off auto update to make this easier!)

SML 3.10.0 Access Violation, Internationalization\Text.cpp
Even post-RR&D update (and I've tried launching without any of their mods), I'm still getting an immediate crash on launch. Works fine when rolled back to 3.9.1. It also works on my minimal dev profile, so it is just a "conflict" with an un-updated mod somewhere. Usual log vomit attached.
I've tried it a couple of times, going through a few possible suspect mods. It of course resulted in different things immediately preceding the fatal, but the one consistent has been:
```...
Solution:
Alright, found a culprit: Factory Skyline is dud. Tried it on its own with just SML, no launch (same stacktrace as the second one above). Seems its already been reported to their GH too (https://github.com/cepheidqq/FactorySkyline/issues/80).
Can't use mods since 1.0 (yes another post)
Hello everyone,
I know this is the kind of messages you see spreading all over but i tried to gather as much info and answers on that subject here and on the web before asking.
SMM is up to date, SML can't update past 3.7.0, trying to update it higher gives a compatibility error, launching the game reports an SML error "plugin not found", i only have this version installed, verified, cleaned and reinstalled game & SMM, still got issues....
Solution:
Two options, as I see it: 1) If you are sure there is nothing of the old versions left installed, you could close SMM, then remove that installation entirely from SMM (delete
installations.json from %appdata%\ficsit), then restart SMM, which should automatically rediscover the install. Since you only have SML installed, this shouldn't pose any issues. If, following this, it still thinks you're on the old version, you likely do have old content remaining, and will need to progress to option...Out of curiosity? Does the stock exchange mod support modded items? Like refined power’s solar panel
I’m looking at the mod page and I like the mod idea, but I want to know if I can trade modded items with other players assuming they have similar mods to me. Like would I be able to trade Solar panels to someone who has refined power installed or would the game not let me. I would like to know before installing the mod.
SMM Issue
My brother reinstalled Satisfactory on Epic. Now when he launch's his game threw SMM it loads up fine but when he try's to join our server the game say's SMM is not installed. He has tried uninstalling and reinstalling SMM but still the same thing.
Solution:
Ok. I had him delete the mods before. I am havign him reinstall the mods for the server after he restarted the loader. I will let you know if he gets a diffrent message or if it worked.
Game/server crashing after working perfectly fine

Solution:
Filter your mods by Dependency (top-right menu), then select SML
refined power no buildings

Solution:
If you have any bugs, suggestions or need help with any of Refined R&D's mods you will probably get more help on their dedicated discord server.

game crashed after 4 minutes
I play with mods and have the problem that my game crashes every 4 minutes but yesterday it worked fine
Solution:
fixed it was the hoverpack
Circuitry - Advanced Signs UI too big for screen
Does anyone know how or if you can resize the UI for Advanced sign settings in the Circuitry mod. I'd like to try it, but when I open the UI, all the important stuff is off the side of the screen. I've already adjusted the UI text size down to half of what it is, but that makes no difference.

Extra Paint Finishes can affect equipment color

Before using chainsaw: purple color
After using chainsaw: red shiny finish
It doesn't affect functionality but can hopefully be fixed...

I can't downgrade my version of Satisfactory
I need some help with Satisfactory Mod Manager. I want to downgrade my game version to use older mods, but the new interface has changed, and I can't figure out how to do it.
Does anyone know how to select an older game version in SMM or another way to downgrade Satisfactory on Steam? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!...

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
Long loading times
I am encountering very long load times (2-4 minutes) for a 3mb save, when my previous even 8mb saves loaded in like 10 seconds. I haven't had a chance to write my mod that pulls in more specific information, but instead made a python script that just parses the log file and finds big gaps between log entries. I quickly as possible started the game and loaded a save file, then exited, so it should only capture what's happening on load.
I am avoiding binary searching to find the culprit as I have 104 mods and this may take longer 😅...
Solution:
I guess this is a kind of memory leak ... but it's a save file leak ... caused by me against myself :LUL:
