How to add mods to your Conan Exiles server

Welcome to PingPlayers! If you're looking to spice up your Conan Exiles gameplay by adding some mods, you're in the right place. In this guide, we'll walk you through each step necessary to add mods to your server. Before we begin, it's very important to remember that you should shut down your server before modifying any server files via FTP. This helps prevent any potential corruption of your server data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Mods

1. Find and Download the Desired Mod:
   Head over to the Steam Workshop and find the mod that you want to add to your server. Click the subscribe button to download the mod directly to your PC.

1. Locate the Mod Folder:
   The downloaded mod files can usually be found at:
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\440900
   Here, 440900 is the unique ID for Conan Exiles. Open this folder to find your downloaded mods.

1. Connect to FTP:
   To upload the mod to your server, you will need to connect through FTP. If this is your first time using FTP, follow our detailed guide on how to connect through FTP. Make sure you have your FTP credentials handy.
2. Upload the Mod File:
   Once connected via FTP, navigate to /ConanSandbox/Mods on your server. Upload the downloaded .pak mod file here.

1. Edit the Modlist Configuration:
   Next, you need to add the mod's file name to the configuration template modlist.txt. For example, if you uploaded a mod named Simple_Minimap.pak, you would add the following line to your modlist.txt file:
   Simple_Minimap.pak
   Make sure to include one mod per line. Additionally, ensure you enable it to override the boot configuration.

1. Restart the Server:
   After you have uploaded the mod and edited the modlist.txt file, restart the server. Once the server has restarted, the mod should appear in the server list on the right.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while trying to add mods, consider the following common problems:

• Mod Not Showing Up: Ensure the mod is correctly uploaded to the /ConanSandbox/Mods folder and that you have added it to the modlist.txt file correctly.
• Server Crashes: Check to see if the mod is compatible with the current version of the game. Incompatible mods can cause server instability.
• FTP Connection Issues: Make sure your FTP credentials are correct and that there are no firewall settings blocking the connection.
• Mod is uploaded and set but server is not running: The mod may be incompatible or missing dependencies or it's a custom map that requires a a set path in the Map basic settings field.

With these steps, you should be able to successfully add mods to your Conan Exiles server. Enjoy a modified gameplay experience!
