Installing mods

As in other games, it is also possible to install mods in Barotrauma. To make this work, you just have to follow a few steps and then you can get started. We’ll show you how to do it.

  • Open Steam on your PC and go to the Steam Workshop
  • Subscribe to the mods you want to use
  • Now open Filezilla and establish a FTP connection to your server
  • Navigate to the following path:
    steamapps\workshop\content\602960
  • Here you see a number of mod folders with their ID as name
    -> Rename these folders from the ID to their actual name
    -> You can find the ID in the URL of the Steam Workshop and the name of the mod in the filelist.xml in the respective mod folder
  • Now load all mod folders (that you just renamed) into the LocalMods folder on your server
  • In the game folder look for the configuration files and the file Config_player.xml
    -> Open the file
  • Search in the file for the following lines:
<contentpackages>
<!--Backwards compatibility-->
<core
name="Vanilla 0.9" />
<!--Vanilla-->
<corepackage
path="Content/ContentPackages/Vanilla.xml" />
<regularpackages>
<package>
</regularpackages>
</contentpackages>
  • Add your mods now here within this area
    -> Below is an example for illustration purposes:
<contentpackages>
<!--Backwards compatibility-->
<core
name="Vanilla 0.9" />
<!--Vanilla-->
<corepackage
path="Content/ContentPackages/Vanilla.xml" />
<regularpackages>
<!--Backpacks-->
<package
path="LocalMods/Backpacks/filelist.xml" enabled="true"/>
</regularpackages>
</contentpackages><contentpackages>
  • Save your changes
  • Restart your server

After you start the game, the mods should be available on your server. Have fun!
