Install mods on a Satisfactory server with SMM

Satisfactory Mod Manager (SMM) installs Satisfactory mods on your server without copying files by hand. The program runs on your PC and connects to the server over SFTP. This guide shows how to add your SMM server with the credentials from OuiPanel, the OuiHeberg game panel, then turn on your SMM mods.

Get your SFTP credentials

SMM needs your server's SFTP credentials. In OuiPanel, open Configuration › SFTP Access.

Information	Where to find it
Host	In Host / Server, the address between sftp:// and the colon. Example 203.0.113.10.
Port	The number after the colon in Host / Server. Example 2022.
Username	The Username field. Example client.1a2b3c4d.
Password	Your OuiPanel account password. It is never displayed.

SFTP has no separate password. It's your account password, which you can change with Change account password. Never share it.

Connect your server to SMM

Open the server manager

In SMM, click Manage Servers in the left menu.

Enter the SFTP credentials

A window to add a server opens. Fill it in with the information from OuiPanel, then confirm.

SMM field	Value to enter
Type	SFTP
Host and port	The address and port from OuiPanel
User	Your SFTP username

Select the active server

At the top left of SMM, open the list of game installations and pick the server you just added.

If you manage several servers, give them different names so you don't mix them up.

Install the mods

Browse available mods

The mod library fills the right side of SMM. Use the search bar to find a specific mod.

Click the enable button next to each mod you want. SMM uploads the files to the server, in the FactoryGame/Mods folder.

Disable a mod	Files are removed from the server.

Restart the server

Once your mods are chosen, open Console in OuiPanel and click Restart.

Restart the server after every mod you add or remove. Without a restart, the server may not work properly.
