    Restart Your Server [#4-restart-your-server]

    Go to **Console** and restart your server. The mods will download automatically during startup.

    > 📝 **Note:** Mod downloads can take significant time depending on size. Watch the console for download progress.

    > ⚠️ **Warning:** Players must also subscribe to the same mods on the Steam Workshop to connect. Mods with mismatched versions will prevent players from joining.

    > 💡 **Tip:** If you are using modded maps, remember to add them to your `MapRotation.cfg` file using the mod's layer names.
