Adding Mods to a Conan Exiles Server ​

Tip

You can also upload the mod files using an FTP program. Here you will find instructions on how to establish an SFTP connection.

Warning

Make sure the mods are compatible with your current server version. Incompatible mods can prevent your server from starting.

Steps ​

  1. Subscribe to the desired mods in the Steam Workshop.

    • Open the Steam Workshop for Conan Exiles and subscribe to the mods you want to use on your server.
    • Steam will automatically download the mods to your local PC.
  2. Locate the downloaded mod files on your PC.

    • The mod files are located in the folder:
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\440900
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\440900
    • Inside the numbered subfolders, you will find the .pak files – these are the ones you need.
  3. Open your server in the file browser and create the Mods folder.

    • Navigate to the ConanSandbox folder.
    • Create a new folder named Mods.
  4. Upload the .pak files to the Mods folder.

    • Copy all .pak files of your desired mods to the ConanSandbox/Mods folder.
  5. Create the modlist.txt file.

    • Create a new file named modlist.txt in the ConanSandbox/Mods folder.
    • Add each mod with an asterisk (*) at the beginning – each mod on a new line:
      *ModName1.pak
      *ModName2.pak
      *ModName3.pak
      *ModName1.pak
      *ModName2.pak
      *ModName3.pak
  6. Save the file and restart your server.

    • After restarting, the mods will be loaded automatically.

Info

All players who want to join your server must have the same mods installed.
