This guide covers installing mods on your Conan Exiles server. For first boot and connecting, see Getting Started.

Conan Exiles has a strong workshop at steamcommunity.com/app/440900/workshop/.

Step 1: Subscribe and Find IDs

For each mod, note the Workshop ID from the URL.

Step 2: Upload Mods

Conan Exiles mods are .pak files. The simplest install path:

  1. Subscribe to the mod in your local Steam.
  2. Find the mod files at Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\440900\<WorkshopID>\.
  3. Upload the .pak file to your server's ConanSandbox/Mods/ folder via SFTP.

Step 3: Add to modlist.txt

Create or edit ConanSandbox/Mods/modlist.txt:

*\ConanSandbox\Mods\Pippi.pak
*\ConanSandbox\Mods\LBPR.pak
*\ConanSandbox\Mods\AgeOfCalamitous.pak

The order matters; some mods need to load before others. The mod authors usually document the recommended order.

Step 4: Restart

The server loads mods on boot. Players must subscribe to the same mods on their client.
