How to Add Mods to Your Satisfactory Server

Adding mods to your Satisfactory server can enhance your gaming experience, allowing you to customize and expand the game in exciting ways. In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of adding mods using the official Satisfactory Mod Manager and connecting to your server through FTP. Remember to shut down your server before modifying any files to avoid corrupting your game data, and disable the Auto Boot feature to ensure your server stays off while you’re adding mods.

Step 1: Download and Install Mod Manager

First, you need to download the Satisfactory Mod Manager. Follow this link to get the latest version: Satisfactory Mod Manager.

Step 2: Manage Your Servers

Open the Mod Manager and look for the left panel. Under the "Other" category, select “Manage Servers.”

Step 3: Enter Your FTP Details

Fill in the required fields with your FTP details obtained from the PingPlayers website. Enter the following:

• Username: Your server FTP username
• Password: Your server FTP password
• Host (IP): Your server's IP address
• Port: The port used for your FTP connection

You can name this server connection whatever you want; it's just for your reference.

Step 4: Add the Server

After entering your details, let the Mod Manager load for a few seconds. Once the “Add” button becomes green, click it and wait for the server to be added. You should see it listed above.

Step 5: Download Mods

Now that your server is added, you can find the mods you want to install. Select the mods and download them; the Mod Manager will handle the installation automatically. Remember to check their compatibility on "View on ficsit.app" to ensure they have a “Server ✔.”

Step 6: Check Installed Mods

You can see the installed mods by changing the filter from “Compatible” (recommended) to “Installed.” This helps you keep track of what’s currently on your server.

Step 7: Install Mods on Both PC and Server

Select your game installation from your Steam profile and ensure you install the same mods both on your PC and on the server. This is crucial for them to work properly. Note that it takes a bit to load between them.

Troubleshooting Section

If you encounter issues while adding mods, here are some common problems and their solutions:

• Incorrect FTP Details: Double-check your username, password, host, and port to ensure they are entered correctly.
• Mod Not Compatible with Server: Ensure the mod you are trying to download has a “Server checkmark” on the mod’s page. If it doesn’t, it means it’s not compatible with your server version.

By following these steps and precautions, you should be well on your way to enhancing your Satisfactory experience with mods.
