How to Install Steam Workshop Mods on Your Conan Exiles Server

How to add mods to your Conan Exiles server using modlist.txt and manage mod load order.

Mod File Structure

modlist.txt
ModName1.pak
ModName2.pak

Adding Mods

  1. Subscribe to mods on your Steam client
  2. Launch the game and enable/order them in the mod menu
  3. Find your local modlist.txt at <GameFolder>/ConanSandbox/Mods/modlist.txt
  4. Copy this file to your server's ConanSandbox/Mods/ via Files in the XGamingServer Panel
  5. Copy the corresponding .pak files to the same Mods/ folder on the server
  6. Restart the server

modlist.txt Format

One mod per line, prefixed with *:

*ModName1.pak
*ModName2.pak
*AnotherMod.pak

Load order matters — first line loads first. Some mods require specific ordering (check mod descriptions).

Important Notes

  • All players must have the exact same mods in the same order
  • Mod mismatches are the #1 connection issue — see Troubleshooting
  • After game updates, mods may need updating before they're compatible
