Update 5 INFO
Status (2022-01-14): Acxd ported the whole mod. Our lights are back!
Info from x3008x: I stopped modding (too many projects) and I am searching for modders who want to continue my work (details on my discord). My mods will NOT work in update 5, because there were many changes in Satisfactory, the mods have to be ported.

Frequently Asked Questions
X3-Lights / Cheap Lights not working after update – what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether X3-Lights / Cheap Lights 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.
X3-Lights / Cheap Lights causing crashes in multiplayer – 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 X3-Lights / Cheap Lights v1.1.4 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is X3-Lights / Cheap Lights compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
X3-Lights / Cheap Lights 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.
