Managing Avorion mods
On an installed Avorion service, Mods searches Steam Workshop and manages the mod configuration for your selected galaxy.
Choose the right galaxy
Stop the server and check its galaxy name in Settings before opening Mods. The mod list belongs to that galaxy. Changing the galaxy name means you are working with a different mod configuration; it does not move your existing collection to the new galaxy.
If the Panel cannot find a configured galaxy name, it warns you and uses avorion_galaxy. Set the intended name in Settings, save it and reopen Mods before making changes.
Add and manage mods
- Open Mods. If prompted, select Initialise Mod Manager.
- Search for a Workshop mod and open its information to check compatibility and dependencies.
- Select Install to add it to the galaxy's mod configuration.
- Return to Installed Mods to enable, disable or remove entries.
- Start the server after finishing your changes.
Check the authors' instructions for any mods needed by players too. Keep a backup of an established galaxy before adding or removing mods that change its content.
