Install mods on Space Engineers server

Rent your own Space Engineers server at 4Netplayers.com

---

Tip: We recommend using a program with syntax highlighting such as Notepad++.
We also recommend the use of an FTP program such as Filezilla.

To install mods, please proceed as follows:

• If your server has never been running, please start it once.
• Stop the server and wait until the status is Server not running.
• Now connect to the Saves FTP
• Download the sandbox_config.sbc which you can find here:

/ConfigID/saves/Saves/World

• Open it with a text editor and find the following line:</settings>.
• Now delete the line <mods /> if it exists.
• Now enter your mods according to the following scheme below </settings>:

  <Mods>
    <ModItem FriendlyName="Name of Mod">
      <Name>WorkshopID.sbm</name>.
      <PublishedFileId>WorkshopID</PublishedFileId>.
      <PublishedServiceName>Steam</PublishedServiceName>
    </ModItem>
  </Mods>

• With more than one mod, it looks like this:

  <Mods>
    <ModItem FriendlyName="Name of Mod1">
      <Name>WorkshopID1.sbm</Name>
      <PublishedFileId>WorkshopID1</PublishedFileId>.
      <PublishedServiceName>Steam</PublishedServiceName>
    </ModItem>
    <ModItem FriendlyName="Name of Mod2">
      <Name>WorkshopID2.sbm</Name>
      <PublishedFileId>WorkshopID2</PublishedFileId>
      <PublishedServiceName>Steam</PublishedServiceName>
    </ModItem>
    <ModItem FriendlyName="Name of Mod3">
      <Name>WorkshopID3.sbm</Name>
      <PublishedFileId>WorkshopID3</PublishedFileId>
      <PublishedServiceName>Steam</PublishedServiceName>
    </ModItem>
  </Mods>

• You can get the WorkshopID from the url of the mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1698925282.
  In this example, the ID is 1698925282.
• Save your changes and upload your file.
• Start your server.

Tip: You can also download mods from Mod.io. To do so, replace Steam with mod.io.
Also replace the WorkshopID with the ID you get from mod.io. Note: You can find the ConfigID on our page under Game Server.
