Learn how to install Steam Workshop mods on your Squad dedicated server.

Squad supports Steam Workshop mods that can add new maps, factions, vehicles, and gameplay modifications. Here is how to install them.

Find Mods on the Steam Workshop

Browse the Steam Workshop for Squad and find the mods you want to install. Copy the Workshop ID from each mod's URL.

Open the Startup Page

Log in to the XGamingServer Panel and select your Squad server. In the sidebar, click Startup.

Enter the Mod IDs

Find the Workshop Mod IDs or Mods field and enter the mod IDs, separated as required by the field format.

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.
