Everest vs Satisfactory Mod Loader

Everest is a free, open-source mod loader and modding API for Celeste. It lets players use mods with custom maps, texture replacements and code-driven additions such as sound effects, graphics, dialogue and campaigns, without changing original game files. An in-game updater and dependency downloader help manage mods. The cross-platform Olympus installer can install mods with one click from its Download Mods section or GameBanana, or from ZIP files and folders; players can also switch between Everest and vanilla Celeste through Olympus or the title screen. Everest supports Windows, macOS and Linux and works with Celeste from itch.io, Steam and Epic Games, but not the Windows Store version. Enhanced Debug Mode offers live map reloading, code and asset reload shortcuts, an improved map viewer and console logging. The project is MIT-licensed and maintained by volunteers. Olympus is actively being worked on and may fail, and the project directs users to the Celeste Discord’s #modding_help channel for bug reports and questions.

Satisfactory Mod Loader is an unofficial tool for loading mods in Satisfactory. It provides a framework to help mods work with game systems and with one another, along with helper features for mod developers. Mods can be written in Unreal Blueprint or C++, and community libraries also support JSON files. The Satisfactory Mod Manager installs the loader, mods, and dependencies, and connects to the Satisfactory Mod Repository; the project recommends using the manager rather than installing SML manually. The repository says uploaded content is checked for malware before approval for download. SML is designed with multiplayer support in mind, and its developer says it makes no connections to external networks. The project also says uninstalling the loader will not cause loss of items or progression. No required dependencies are listed. The project includes source code, an ExampleMod demonstrating utilities, editor utilities, and the Unreal project used for mod development. Windows clients and servers are supported; Linux support is listed for servers, while Linux client support is marked N/A. Controller support is untested. The project displays a GPL-3.0 license and directs users to Discord for discussion.
