Important Notes Before Installing Mods

⚠️ Always install mods carefully, one by one, to avoid compatibility issues or startup crashes.

• There are two types of mods: XML-only mods and StationeersLaunchPad Plugin mods.
• Most newer mods require the StationeersLaunchPad Plugin, while older ones are XML-only.
• Always check the Workshop page for installation notes or required dependencies like BepInEx.
• Some mods only work on local servers and not on dedicated servers.
• Some mods must be installed on the server side only — read the mod description carefully.

How to Detect Mods That Require StationeersLaunchPad Plugin and BepInEx

Mods that depend on StationeersLaunchPad Plugin usually mention it clearly in the Steam Workshop description.

When a mod requires the plugin, you’ll typically see a warning message similar to the example below:

If you use such mods, you’ll also need to install both BepInEx and the StationeersLaunchPad Plugin on your own computer (client side).

4. Start your server again.

Installing StationeersLaunchPad Plugin and BepInEx on the Server

Tips and Warnings

⚠️ Always test mods one at a time to prevent crashes and data loss.

• Keep your mods up to date — outdated mods often cause startup failures.
• Always back up your server before testing new mods.
• When troubleshooting, temporarily remove mods to identify the cause of crashes.
• Client and server BepInEx versions must match for mod compatibility.
