sounds like probably the same issue as this https://discord.com/channels/555424930502541343/1427660144178892820
a fix hasn't been found yet
is this a new thing or only happened recently?
are you on windows, linux, or mac?
it is the same issue but i have a different thing in the log file then him
i havent used it for a while
and im on windows
post the whole log here please!
>factorygame.log
It seems SMM is failing to properly recognise your install, which may be relevant
Hit windows + r . Enter
%localappdata%/FactoryGame/Saved/Logs in the opened box then click on Ok. That will open a folder, send the file named FactoryGame.log from thereHmm looks normal. Weird thing is, SMM seems to be looking at your install as if it's a server
No idea why. I think there's a good chance following these instructions will fix it, though https://discord.com/channels/555424930502541343/1427660144178892820/1427678239056199821
