How to Install Mods on Your Conan Exiles Dedicated Server

1. Subscribe to Mods in Steam

1. Open Steam and find the mod(s) you want in the Conan Exiles Workshop.

2. Click Subscribe on each mod.
   This will download them to your single-player Conan Exiles installation — and it also means your client will be ready to join the server later.

2. Locate Your Mod Files

Once Steam has finished downloading, find the .pak files:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\440900

• 440900 is Conan Exiles’ Steam App ID.

• Each numbered folder inside corresponds to a mod’s Workshop ID.

• Inside each folder is a .pak file — that’s the actual mod.

• You only need the .pak files, not the numbered folders.

Pro tip: Keep a little “mod cheat sheet” of Workshop IDs and .pak names — it’ll save you pain later when updating or removing mods.

3. Create a Mods Folder on Your Server

On your Conan Exiles server, go to:

/ConanSandbox

Create a folder named exactly:

Mods

4. Upload the Mods

1. Zip up your .pak files into one archive (faster to upload).

2. Upload the zip to /ConanSandbox/Mods using:

   • File Manager in your control panel (drag and drop), or

   • FTP for larger files or slower internet (resumable uploads).

3. Unzip the archive on the server.

5. Create modlist.txt

The server loads mods based on what’s listed in modlist.txt in /ConanSandbox/Mods.

• Open a plain text editor and list each mod file like this:

*betterthralls.pak
*anothermod.pak

• Each line = one mod.

• Save the file as:

modlist.txt

Upload it to /ConanSandbox/Mods.

6. Restart Your Server

When the server starts, it’ll load everything in modlist.txt.
Join the game and enjoy your freshly-modded world.
