Installing the Satisfactory Mod Manager

The Satisfactory Mod Manager streamlines the entire process — it handles mod installation, dependencies, and the Mod Loader (SML) automatically.

2. Run the .exe file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Adding Your Server to the Satisfactory Mod Manager

With the Mod Manager installed, the next step is connecting it to your server.

1. Open your server control panel.
2. Navigate to the Settings tab.
3. Take note of your connection details. The password is the same as your panel account password.

4. Open the Satisfactory Mod Manager.
5. Click Manage Servers.

6. Switch the Manage Server menu to advanced mode.

7. Set the connection mode to SFTP and enter the connection string in this format:

<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/

Important: The "/" at the end is required — make sure it is included.

john.doe@email.com:MySecurePassword@sftp.example.com:2222/

Your server is now linked to the Satisfactory Mod Manager.
