In-Use Acronyms

These acronyms are still actively in use.

Coffee Stain Studios (CSS)

Coffee Stain Studios is the Swedish game studio that created Satisfactory.

Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML)

SML is a community-created mod that provides an easy way for other mods to register content, interface with the game, offer user-facing configuration options, and more.

Ironically, SML has changed so much since its creation that it is no longer responsible for loading mods. Thanks to the helpful folks at CSS, mods are now Unreal Engine plugins, and no longer require any special injection code to load.

Although it is possible to create a mod that does not depend on SML, they are very uncommon, as there are few reasons to do so.

Its public source code can be found on GitHub.

Satisfactory Mod Repository (SMR) aka ficsit.app

ficsit.app, or the Satisfactory Mod Repository, is the website at which mods, this documentation, guides, and more are hosted.

You can find the source code for the frontend and backend on their respective GitHub repositories.

Satisfactory Mod Manager (SMM)

Satisfactory Mod Manager handles all the steps of installing mods in Satisfactory for you! It works closely with SMR to function. SMM is only responsible for downloading the mods - it has no presence in a running game. SML is responsible for loading mod files at runtime.

Its public source code can be found on GitHub.
