Versions
How to Install Timelapse Cameras on Your Server
Order Satisfactory Server
Order a Satisfactory server with at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended). For multiplayer: per 3 players.
Install Mod
Open the mod manager in the dashboard and search for "Timelapse Cameras". Installation dependencies are installed automatically.
Restart Server
Restart the server so the mod is loaded. Players need to have the mod installed locally as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Timelapse Cameras not working after update – what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Timelapse Cameras 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.
Timelapse Cameras 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 Timelapse Cameras v1.0.9 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Timelapse Cameras compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Timelapse Cameras 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 Timelapse Cameras Server
Play Timelapse Cameras on your own Satisfactory server with mod support.
