Before We Get Started

To install Mods, the first step is to have a world already set up on your server.

From there, make sure you log into your TCAdmin user panel with the information we provided you within your verification email. Be sure to stop your server now. Next, go to configuration files. From there you'll see both configuration files, one for your SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg and one for your Sandbox.sbc file. Before you edit ANYTHING verify your server is stopped. If you open this file before the server is turned off, the time parameter in the world config file will become unsynced with the in game time, leading Space Engineers to believe that this is not the correct Sandbox.sbc file for your save. Therefore, your server will not start.

Modifying Your Sandbox.sbc

Once you've verified your server is stopped, it's now safe to open the Sandbox.sbc file with the text editor. Scroll to the bottom of the editor list or just hit Ctrl+F to open up the search function of your browser. Search for "mods". It should bring you to a line of code that looks like this:

  <ModItem>
    <Name>822950976.sbm</Name>
    <PublishedFileId>822950976</PublishedFileId>
  </ModItem>
</Mods>-->

To activate mod(s) remove the <!-- and the --> (leave items in between). Adjust ID numbers to mod you want. If you want more than one one apply the next mod as follows:

<Mods>
  <ModItem>
    <Name>822950976.sbm</Name>
    <PublishedFileId>822950976</PublishedFileId>
  </ModItem>
  <ModItem>
    <Name>294555339.sbm</Name>
    <PublishedFileId>294555339</PublishedFileId>
  </ModItem>
</Mods>

Once you've added all the mods you'd like, go ahead and save the Sandbox.sbc file by clicking "Save" in the top left hand corner of the text editor. From there, go back to your TCAdmin user panel and start your server back up. 

To verify this is working, click on your web console and it will open a new window. Within it will show the Space Engineers Dedicated console. It should prompt you with this message for every mod added:

Downloading mod: id = WorkshopID

Now that everything is up and running, all of your users will have access to these workshop mods upon joining your server. Great job!
