How to Install Lumen/Global Illumination Toggle on Your Server
Order Satisfactory Server
Order a Satisfactory server with at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended). For multiplayer: per 4 players.

Restart Server
Restart the server so the mod is loaded. Players need to have the mod installed locally as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Lumen/Global Illumination Toggle not working after update β what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Lumen/Global Illumination Toggle has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.
Lumen/Global Illumination Toggle causing crashes in multiplayer β solution
Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Lumen/Global Illumination Toggle v1.0.3 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Lumen/Global Illumination Toggle compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Lumen/Global Illumination Toggle uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
Rent Lumen/Global Illumination Toggle Server
Play Lumen/Global Illumination Toggle on your own Satisfactory server with mod support.
