This article or section contains information that is out-of-date. The Crafting menu showing a list of things you can craft, provided you have the right Materials. For crafting in Conan Exiles, you need to build Crafting Stations and make sure you have the right recipes and resources. This type of item is crafted directly within the player's. Absolutely there will be more, I just am trying to get my mod up to a stable point so I can move on to more tutorials. More posts from the ConanExiles community.
This guide will show you how to add mods to your Conan Exiles server, and configure your server to load them.
Subscribe to the Mods on your Steam Client
The fastest and easiest way to get the mod information is to subscribe to them on Steam. This will cause the client to begin downloading and installing the selected mods automatically to the single player installation on your local computer. This has the side effect of getting all the mods set up on your client anyways, which you will need to connect to the server later on.
Once it's done downloading them, you need to find where the file are stored on your computer. They will most frequently be found at
/ProgramFiles (x86)/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/440900
440900
is the ID number for the game Conan Exiles on Steam. Each folder inside will be the workshop ID number of a separate mod. Inside those folders you will find the actual mods, all ending in .pak
; those are the files you will need to copy, the numbered folders are not needed, just the files inside the folder.NOTE: for future reference, you might want to make a list of the ID numbers, and what file name they correspond to.
XXXXXXXXX
= betterthralls.pak
, etc. It will make life a lot of easier in the future, if you have to remove, replace or update a mod.Create a 'Mods' Folder on the Server
In the
/ConanSandbox
directory of your Conan Exiles server, create a folder titled Mods
.Zip the files up, and upload them to your Server
Once you have all the
.pak
files, we recommend 'zipping' the files using a zip utility, and upload them to your server.You can use drag and drop in the file manager tab of your control panel, or FTP software. For any larger zips files, we recommend using FTP as uploads can be resumable in-case of any network problems. See the related article at the bottom of the page for more information on FTP.
Create modlist.txt
Config File
To actually enable the mods on your server, you need to make a text file which contains the file names of each mod. You can create this file on your local computer using any text editor, or even directly on the server using the 'Create File' button.
Simply name it
modlist.txt
. Inside it, add each file name with an asterisk in front of it, likePlace each separate mod on its own line.
Restart the Server
On the next restart, the server should load all the mods you have listed in the
modlist.txt
file. Your server now has mods on it!![Conan Exiles Modding Guide Conan Exiles Modding Guide](/uploads/1/2/7/5/127598604/574130189.jpg)

Conan Exiles offers a Dreamworld DevKit, that can be used to create a mod. Remember these mods work to sell on single player, there is no surety whether it will work well on multiplayer, but there is a different way of doing the same.
Below are two different methods, first is for using the mods on single player that works well without issue. But there can be a problem with game load time. Second using them in the multiplayer.
Method 1 – Using Mods in Single Player
You just need the mod file. Just move the same to Conan ExilesConanSandboxMods. The game will load the same. If you are not interested in creating the same you can go ahead with a subscription of Steam Workshop. The mod files are a single archive file with .pak extension.
Method 2 – Using Mods in Multiplayer
There are two ways, first running on Client Side and second on the Server side. If you want to use your client side mods on another server it is important that the server must have them running. Or else you won’t be able to connect. The server will notify you the list of mods your game is missing. Second is building a server with different mods and allowing other players to use them. For that follow the below method.
Collect all the mods with extension .pak and move them to a dedicated server folder. For example ServerModFolder/ConanSandbox/Mods/.
Next, you will need to create a text file in the same place which has a list of all mods with its full paths. For example modlist.txt. Below should be the format. Mod name with its extension and an asterisk before the path.
* ServerModFolder/ConanSandbox/Mods/Mod.apk
* ServerModFolder/ConanSandbox/Mods/Mod2.apk
* ServerModFolder/ConanSandbox/Mods/Mod3.apk
Next, when clients try to connect to your server, they will get a message box with a list of mods required. Without the mods, clients won’t be able to connect. You can also do this by using the PingPerfect server as mentioned in the game manual. You can use this tool to create a dedicated Mod folder that can be used on the server. The process is pretty simple. Just install the client, create the server and then access ConanSandbox folder via file manager. Create a folder Mods in it and upload all your .pak files with modlist.txt in it. Reboot the server once before using.
