Downloading a Zip
You’ve chosen to download a zip of the Starter Project repository.
The below box will help you decide which repository branch to download a zip of. It’s imperative that you download the correct Starter Project version or you will have to repeat some of the setup process again.
What Version to Download
This is the archived v3.10.0 version of the docs.
If you want to develop mods for a newer release, you should follow the latest docs branch.
To develop for 3.10.0, use this zip: https://github.com/satisfactorymodding/SatisfactoryModLoader/archive/refs/tags/v3.10.0.zip
Unzipping the Files
|
By default, Windows marks files downloaded from the internet as "blocked". You will run into problems later on because of this. To get around this issue, right-click the zip file and "unblock" it from the Properties menu before unzipping it. |
Unzip SatisfactoryModLoader-master.zip (or the -dev.zip) to get the Starter Project files.
If you’re encountering issues extracting the zip,
try using another zip extracting software
such as 7zip
or WinRAR.
You can move the directory later, and you can name the outermost folder whatever you’d like.
Make sure to read the notes on the Starter Project page about good long-term homes for your starter project files.
Next Steps
Now that all the dependencies are installed, you can move onto setting up the project.
