Space Engineers | Add Mods - Mod.io

Please note:

• Please be aware that some mods will require a New world to be generated for them to be Installed/Uninstalled.
• You must enable Crossplay before installing Mod.io mods - If you are unsure how to enable crossplay on your server please see this guide: https://pingperfect.com/index.php/knowledgebase/806/Space-Engineers--PC-XBOX-Crossplay-How-to-enable-console-compatibility.html
• With Crossplay active, the ModID box will pull mods from mod.io, double check before enabling that you don't have Steam Workshop IDs in the box
• Please note that only "NoScript" Mods are working on Xbox.

   </ModItem>
   </Mods>​

   
   For more than 1 mod, it should look like this:

   <Mods>
   <ModItem>
   <Name>451208.sbm</Name>
   <PublishedFileId>451208</PublishedFileId>
   </ModItem>

   </ModItem>
   </Mods>

8. Delete the "LastSession.sbl" file from the location Instance/Saves

Troubleshooting Steps

So you have just set up all the mods you wanted, but now you can't connect to your server? Just follow this guide

1. Have you waited long enough? To download the mods, unpack them and add them into your server can take a few minutes.
2. Are you sure you have formatted them properly? Even a single missing [ will stop it from working
3. Are all the mods you have added in up to date and/or still working/public?
4. Finally, remove all the mods and add them one by one to see which one is causing the problem
