How to Add Mods to Your Conan Exiles Server

Enhance your Conan Exiles experience by adding custom mods to your server. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of installing mods and ensuring a seamless connection for you and your players.

How to Add Mods to a Conan Exiles Server: Step-by-Step Guide

Adding mods to your Conan Exiles server is a great way to customize gameplay and introduce new features. Follow these steps to install and activate mods on your server.

1. Open the Steam Workshop and subscribe to the mods you want to install.
2. Navigate to your Steam installation workshop directory:
   Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\440900
3. In each of the numbered folders, there will be a .pak file. Keep this window open.
4. Connect to your Conan server using SFTP.
5. Create a Mods folder on your server here: /conan-exiles/ConanSandbox/Mods
6. Upload each one of your .pak files into this Mods folder. Do not include any of the numbered folders, we just need the .pak files.
7. Inside the "Mods" folder on your server, create a new file named modlist.txt.
8. Open the file and list each .pak filename, placing an asterisk (*) before each one.
   Example:

*modname1.pak
*mod2.pak
*thirdmod.pak
*you-get-the-point.pak

9. Save the file.
10. Restart your server.

And that's it! The mods should load, as long as they are compatible with the current version of the game and the other mods in the server.

Joining a Modded Conan Exiles Server

One of the best features of Conan Exiles modding is that players don’t need to manually install mods before joining a modded server. The game automates this process.

Automatic Mod Installation on Connection

1. When attempting to join a modded server, a "MOD MISMATCH" screen will appear.
2. Check both boxes at the bottom of the menu and click "Subscribe/Update All".
3. The game will:
   • Automatically subscribe to the mods in the Steam Workshop
   • Download and install the mods
   • Restart the game
   • Connect to the server automatically after the restart

Troubleshooting & Tips for Installing Conan Exiles Mods

If you encounter issues when installing or loading mods, here are some common solutions:

• Mods Not Loading
  Double-check that the .pak files are in the correct directory and the modlist.txt file is formatted correctly.
• Connection Errors
  Ensure all players have the same mods installed as the server.
• Incompatible Mods
  Some mods may not work with others or the latest version of the game. Always check for mod updates.
• Backup Your Files
  Before making major changes, create a backup of your server files in case you need to revert.
