How to install mods on your Conan Exiles server

Conan Exiles mods can be installed from the TCAdmin Steam Workshop tool where available, or uploaded manually and enabled in modlist.txt. Players also need the same mods in the same order when joining.

Install from Steam Workshop

1. Open your Conan Exiles server in the control panel.
2. Click Steam Workshop.



3. Search for the mod you want, check the title and author, then install it.
4. Open Steam Workshop (installed) to confirm the mod is listed.
5. Restart the server after installing or updating mods.

Manual mod upload

1. On your PC, find the subscribed Conan Exiles Workshop content under your Steam library. Conan Exiles uses Steam app id 440900, so Workshop files are normally under steamapps/workshop/content/440900/.
2. Open the folder matching the Workshop item id and find the mod's .pak file.
3. Upload the .pak file to a Mods folder on the server using SFTP or File Manager.
4. Open Configuration Files and then Text Editor for modlist.txt.



5. Add one mod per line. Prefix each .pak filename with *, for example:

*ExampleMod.pak
*AnotherMod.pak

6. Save modlist.txt and restart the server.
7. If the server fails to start, remove the newest mod from modlist.txt, restart, and check whether it starts cleanly.

Add one mod at a time where possible. If several mods are added at once and the server fails, it is much harder to identify the mod or load-order problem.
