How does one add mods to the server??

JDvanVuuren,

Mods for 7 Days to DIe are completely non-centralized. You'll have to hunt them down, download them externally, then use SFTP to load them to the server. The best place to go looking is the official Fun Pimps Forums, as a LOT get posted there. But do be warned 7 Days to Die is still in Early Access, and their build schedule is what's known as a Version Break schedule.

This means that when version X.X.X comes out, all mods made for X.X.X work, but any made for version X.X.Y don't. Also, any mod made for X.X.X won't work for version X.X.Y, normally.

To make your life a bit easier, you'll also want to familiarize yourself with and install the 7daystodie mod launcher (A seperate program) to organize your modded versions of the game.

Unlike other games that allow you to select and load mods and modlets during runtime, 7DaysToDie requires a separate installation of the game on the local side to run any mods you've selected. For example, if you're running a Darkness Falls server and separate Ravenhearst server, you'll have two copies of 7 Days to Die installed on your computer.

I REALLY recommend joining the Discord for 7 Days to Die. The game is great fun, but there are far less players of the game frequenting these forums, and I myself haven't done any serious play on the game since Alpha 16. I keep mostly current with my knowledge, but for any involved help I'll be sorely lacking.
