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 here in this channel.
If you need to access older log files, see https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_Logs

try using the mods off/mods on switch to trigger them to be reinstalled, and remember to have the game server off when you do so
i tried the mods off and on, server was stopped running and it still did not work, i reconnected the mod manager to the server files and still did not work

Key Details for SMMDebug-2025-10-15-03-00-05.zip triggered by @Sclicerthe path to the server is different now?
i think i had the wrong one at first but now this is the correct one,
are you able to transfer files to it with a standard sftp client?
the sftp from SMM?
ah at least this path tells you some errors
{"time":"2025-10-14T22:56:37.655002-04:00","level":"ERROR","msg":"failed to install","action":{"type":"install","item":"SkyUI"},"install":"sftp://user:pass@******/var/lib/pterodactyl/volumes/03730054-aab5-45cb-888c-5db7416464ac","profile":"Default","error":"failed to resolve lockfile: failed to write lockfile: failed creating lockfile directory: failed to make directory: permission denied"}
were these showing up in the UI too as you tried to do it?yep
so file permissions are preventing that path from working
idk about the original path and why it was somehow not reporting a failure to do put the files in there
im going to change permissions and try again
Thank you do much it worked
what permissions did you have to change for it to work?
Solution
i had to change myself to owner
chown -R user:user
im hope your pillow is always cool
