Description

IE: Lite is an optional add-on for [Industrial Evolution](https://ficsit.app/mod/MkPlus), but can also be used as a standalone mod. Much simpler and more straightforward, this mod just adds one tier of machines which can be unlocked by completing vanilla milestones.

How to Install Industrial Evolution: Lite on Your Server

Order Satisfactory Server

Frequently Asked Questions

Industrial Evolution: Lite not working after update – what to do?

After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Industrial Evolution: Lite 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.

Industrial Evolution: Lite 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 Industrial Evolution: Lite v1.5.5 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.

Is Industrial Evolution: Lite compatible with other Satisfactory mods?

Industrial Evolution: Lite 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.
