Add mods to your Conan Exiles dedicated server with the Steam Workshop installer in the GTX game panel: search the mod, click install, and the mod id goes into your modlist file for you.
How to add mods to your Conan Exiles dedicated server
- Press STOP to stop your server.
- Open Steam Workshop on the main control panel in the game panel.
- Search for the name of the mod you want to install.
- Click Install. The mod installs automatically and its mod id is added to the modlist file (open it with the Text Editor to see it).
- Press START when you have installed all your mods.
Always install / uninstall the mods in the order you want to load them. If you re-arrange the order manually in the modlist.txt file, the mod order will reset back to default when you update the mods.
Update your mods
If a mod needs to be updated, you have two options:
- Update it with the updates button in Steam Workshop.
- Or create a mod update task under Scheduled Tasks in the control panel, so mods update on their own. Full steps: How to set up automatic mod updates.
Players need the same mods, in the same versions, as the server to join it.
Questions
How do I add mods to a Conan Exiles dedicated server?
Stop the server, open Steam Workshop in the GTX game panel, search for the mod and click Install. The mod id is added to modlist.txt automatically. Start the server when you are done.
Why did my mod load order reset?
You changed the order by hand in modlist.txt. A mod update resets it to the install order. Uninstall and install the mods in the order you want them to load instead.
