How to install mods on your server
First, we have to create a file called modconfig.lua
- Create a file called modconfig and save it as .lua
- The following lines have to be pasted into the file
Replace STEAMWORKSHOPID with the number you can find in the link of the object.
modLocation = "" forceEnabling = false mods = { {workshopid = "STEAMWORKSHOPID1"}, {workshopid = "STEAMWORKSHOPID2"}, }
As an example: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2362565341
- Connect to your server, using the FTP Connection
- Paste the modconfig.lua in your galaxy folder: /galaxies/yourgalaxyname
- Start the server and the mod is downloading directly
- Once you connect to your server, your gameclient will download the mod aswell
- Have much fun with your new mod 🙂
