A tool used to load mods for the game Satisfactory. It's under development until Coffee Stain releases a proper Unreal modding API.
Join our discord server to talk about SML and Satisfactory Modding in general.

- Visual Studio 2017
- Git client (optional, but makes things easier)
When you download/clone SML, you will see 3 projects in the solution: Detours, BaseMod, and SatisfactoryModLoader. You'll want to build the SatisfactoryModLoader project. Make sure you build with the configuration options Release and x64! It will not work otherwise! When the SatisfactoryModLoader project is compiled, you will find an xinput1_3.dll file in x64/Release folder.
Take the xinput1_3.dll file and place it next to FactoryGame/Binaries/Win64/FactoryGame-Win64-Shipping.exe (the game install directory), and then click that exe to run. If everything went well, a console window should appear. It will disappear once and then reappear; then the game should be good to go!
Mods will be loaded from the folder FactoryGame/Binaries/Win64/mods. Pak files will be loaded from the folder FactoryGame/Content/Paks. If you have any random dlls that you want loaded when the game starts, place them in FactoryGame/Binaries/coremods. Keep in mind that the SML team won't accept bug reports or crashes when coremods are installed.
