There are 2 fundamentally different ways you can install mods for Space Engineers.<br> In both cases, using a text editor with syntax highlighting such as '''Notepad++''' is recommended.<br>
+
'''Tip''': We recommend using a program with syntax highlighting such as [https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/ Notepad++].<br>
−
 
+
We also recommend the use of an FTP program such as [https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client Filezilla].<br><br>
−
== SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg ==
+
To install mods, please proceed as follows:
−
 
+
* If your server has never been running, please start it once.
−
The easiest method is via the <code>SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg</code>.<br>
+
* Stop the server and wait until the status is <code>Server not running</code>.
−
For this, however, the server must never have been started and a world generated!<br>
+
* Now connect to the '''[[FTP areas|Saves FTP]]''''
−
For you to have access to this file, the server must be in Advanced Mode.<br>
+
* Download the <code>sandbox_config.sbc</code> which you can find here:
−
After clicking on <code>SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg</code> in our web interface, <br>
 
−
In it, search for the line <code><Mods /></code> and replace it with:<br>
 
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
−
<mods>
+
/ConfigID/saves/Saves/World
−
</mods>
 
 
</pre>
 
</pre>
−
<br>
+
* Open it with a text editor and find the following line:<code></settings></code>.
−
The WorkshopIDs of the mods are then inserted between the above tags according to the following scheme:<br>
+
* Now delete the line <code><mods /></code> if it exists.
 +
* Now enter your mods according to the following scheme below <code></settings></code>:
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
−
<mods>
+
  <Mods>
−
     <unsignedLong>WorkshopID1</unsignedLong>.
+
     <ModItem FriendlyName="Name of Mod">
−
    <unsignedLong>WorkshopID2</unsignedLong>
+
      <Name>WorkshopID.sbm</name>.
−
    <unsignedLong>WorkshopID3</unsignedLong>
+
      <PublishedFileId>WorkshopID</PublishedFileId>.
−
    <unsignedLong>WorkshopID4</unsignedLong>
+
      <PublishedServiceName>Steam</PublishedServiceName>
−
     <unsignedLong>WorkshopID5</unsignedLong>
+
     </ModItem>
−
</mods>
+
  </Mods>
 
</pre>
 
</pre>
−
<br>
+
* With more than one mod, it looks like this:
−
Save the changes to <code>SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg</code> and start the server.<br>
 
−
The server will now download the mods from the workshop.<br>
 
−
 
 
−
== sandbox.sbc and sandbox_config.sbc ==
 
−
 
 
−
The second variant works after the server has already been started.<br>
 
−
For the <code>sandbox.sbc</code> and <code>sandbox_config.sbc</code> to be up to date, the server must be completely stopped. You will then find both files on the <code>Saves FTP</code> afterward.<br>
 
−
Download both files for editing.<br>
 
−
In both files, find the line <code><Mods /></code> and replace it with:<br>
 
−
 
 
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
−
<mods>
+
  <Mods>
−
</mods>
+
    <ModItem FriendlyName="Name of Mod1">
−
</pre>
+
      <Name>WorkshopID1.sbm</Name>
−
 
+
      <PublishedFileId>WorkshopID1</PublishedFileId>.
−
Mods are entered here according to the following scheme between the tags:<br>
+
      <PublishedServiceName>Steam</PublishedServiceName>
−
<pre>
 
−
<ModItem>
 
−
    <name>WorkshopID.sbm</name>
 
−
    <PublishedFileID>WorkshopID</PublishedFileID>
 
−
</ModItem>
 
−
</pre>
 
−
So with multiple mods it would look like this:<br>
 
−
<pre>
 
−
<Mods>
 
−
    <ModItem>
 
−
        <Name>WorkshopID1.sbm</Name>
 
−
        <PublishedFileID>WorkshopID1</PublishedFileID>
 
 
     </ModItem>

Save your files and upload them again to the <code>Saves FTP</code>.<br>
