<h1>Launch the Rocket!</h1>
<p style="text-align:center;">A total conversion challenge inspired by <i>Factorio</i>. Machines no longer have standard ports—you must master the use of <b>Loaders</b> to automate a complex new tech tree spanning over 100 items.</p>

<h2>Operational Protocols</h2>
<div class="factorio-grid">
<div class="factorio-item">
<b>The Loader System:</b><br>
Standard machine inputs/outputs are disabled. Use the <b>Loaders mod</b> to feed your assembly lines.

<b>⚠️ Mission Anomalies (Known Bugs):</b><br>
• Furnaces may report "No Power" (Ignore—they function without it).<br>
• Burner Mining Drills currently revert to vanilla models upon placement.<br>
• Powerlines and certain belt items (Jetpacks/Gas Masks) may appear invisible.<br>
• <b>Multiplayer:</b> Currently, only the host can view the custom MAM tech tree.

How to Install Launch the Rocket! on Your Server

1

Order Satisfactory Server

Order a Satisfactory server with at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended). For multiplayer: per 3 players.

2

Install Mod

Open the mod manager in the dashboard and search for "Launch the Rocket! ". Installation dependencies are installed automatically.

3

Restart Server

Restart the server so the mod is loaded. Players need to have the mod installed locally as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Launch the Rocket! not working after update – what to do?

After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Launch the Rocket! 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.

Launch the Rocket! 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 Launch the Rocket! v1.0.13 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.

Is Launch the Rocket! compatible with other Satisfactory mods?

Launch the Rocket! 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 Launch the Rocket! Server
