I have installed many mods and I don't know which one could be causing this.

We need more information to help you. Before launching the game again, open the Mod Manager and use the "Generate debug info" option, then send the zip file produced in #help-using-mods. This ensures that your help request won't get buried and forgotten in other, non-help channels!

I am using SML
>smmsml
SMM (Satisfactory Mod Manager) is the application that you download and interact with. It downloads files (mods) to where they should go, so that you don't need to deal with them, nor with the mods' dependencies.
SML (Satisfactory Mod Loader) is the mod loader (it used to load mods, now the engine does it thanks to the way mods are packaged) which provides APIs that mods use to cleanly interact with the game. It is implemented as a mod, and basically all other mods depend on to work. The Mod Manager will download it for you if you need it, you don't need to install it directly yourself.
You don't need to launch the game from SMM - if you launch from Steam or Epic, your mods will still be loaded. More info here:

In other words, I download the mods manually. How can I get debugging?
We don't provide support for manual installation here, for a range of reasons (among them: it's too easy to fuck up)
Here's a question: What problem are you solving by attempting manual installation instead of using SMM?
Maybe we can solve that problem a different way.
