- Choose Browse curated mods and click a mod to add it, or Add by ID and enter one or more Workshop IDs, separated by commas.
- Move mods up or down; the order of the list is the load order.
- Restart the server. HaruHost downloads the mods before it starts.
Mod maps

- Restart the server. HaruHost downloads the map mod with your other mods and starts the map.
The same mods on every map
On a cluster, add your other servers on the Mods card's Sharing tab so every map gets the same list. Active Mods (Base Config) on the Base Config card adds mods for one server only, on top of the shared ones.
From Discord
With the Discord bot, /mod add and /mod add-by-id add a mod, /mod remove removes one and /mod list shows them.
Updates and big downloads
Mods update when the server starts, so restart it after a mod updates on the Workshop. If Steam stops a large download partway, such as a map mod of several GB, start the server again and the download continues.

Why didn't my mod load?
