Steps

  1. Subscribe to mods
    Open the Steam Workshop for Conan Exiles and subscribe to the mods you want to use on your server. Steam will automatically download the mods to your local PC.

  2. Locate mod files
    The downloaded mod files are located on your PC in the folder:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\440900
    

    Inside the numbered subfolders, you will find the .pak files – these are the ones you need.

  3. Create Mods folder
    Open your server in the file browser and navigate to the ConanSandbox folder. Create a new folder named Mods.

  4. Upload mods
    Copy all .pak files of your desired mods to the ConanSandbox/Mods folder.

  5. Create modlist.txt
    Create a new file named modlist.txt in the ConanSandbox/Mods folder. Add each mod with an asterisk (*) at the beginning – each mod on a new line:

    *ModName1.pak
    *ModName2.pak
    *ModName3.pak
    
  6. Restart server
    Save the file and restart your server. After restarting, the mods will be loaded automatically.
