How do I install Steam Workshop mods?
Use the Workshop IDs and the variable provided by the server template (egg) instead of uploading random files.
ARK, Arma and several other games download mods from Steam Workshop. The syntax and separator depend on the server template (egg); its startup variable is the reference.
Step-by-step procedure
-
Collect identifiers
Copy only numbers from official Workshop URLs.
-
Read variable
In Startup, consult the help for WORKSHOP_ID, MODS or the equivalent variable and respect its separator.
-
Test one mod
Start with a single mod, boot and wait for the download to complete before adding the rest.
-
Check the load order
Some games require a specific order or map mod as a separate setting. Check out the official game documentation.
