Installing Mods and Plugins

Customising your server with mods and plugins is what makes it yours. This guide covers the installation methods for every game we host.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem	Likely Cause	Fix
Server crashes on startup	Incompatible mod version	Check mod supports your game version
Mod not loading	Wrong directory	Verify the file is in the correct folder
Players can't join	Client missing the mod	Ensure all players install required mods
Server lag after adding mods	Too many resource-heavy mods	Remove unnecessary mods, tune performance
Workshop mod not showing	Incorrect Workshop ID	Double-check the ID from the Steam URL

Test Before Going Live

Always test new mods during off-hours. Some mods conflict with each other or require specific load orders. A quick test restart can save your players a lot of frustration.
