Where Does Satisfactory Store Mods?
Where Satisfactory keeps mod manager mods and configs on Windows and Linux, apart from saves.
Last updated
Satisfactory mods live in a Mods folder inside the install tree: downloaded paks plus per mod configs, managed by the community Mod Manager. Saves stay in LocalAppData FactoryGame, so mods and factories back up separately.
The manager tracks versions and dependencies, which hand installs skip at their peril. Major game updates break pak compatibility until mod authors rebuild. Proton on Linux mirrors the same install relative layout under compatdata for app 526870.
Where Satisfactory stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Satisfactory\Mods
Pak files plus per mod configs in Mods. Manage versions through the Mod Manager; hand drops skip dependency checks. Saves live separately in FactoryGame.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/526870/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Satisfactory/Mods
Same install relative layout under Proton for app 526870. Replace the library parent with your own path. Dedicated servers keep Mods beside their own binary.
Frequently asked questions
How do I install Satisfactory mods?
Install through the Satisfactory Mod Manager, which drops pak files into the Mods folder and tracks versions. Hand copies work the same way when the manager is down. Launch with mods enabled in the manager profile.
How do I move Satisfactory mods to a new PC?
Copy the whole Mods folder with the game closed, plus the SaveGames tree for factories. Mods travel as paks, progress in saves. A new machine needs the mod manager again before the copied set loads.
