How do I add mods? It's not working for me.

    I create the mods folder and put it in the mods folder and my win23>boostrap is

    {
    "assetSources" : [
    "../assets",
    "../mods"
    ],
    "storageDirectory" : ".."
    }


    I also tried doing mods/(folder) but the mod doesn't work.

    You have to path to the mod, not the mod folder. So, change it from...

    "../assets",
    "../mods"

    to

    "../assets",
    "../mods/ModName1",
    "../mods/ModName2"

    and so forth. Hope this helps!

    Well, what mod are you trying to install?

    Make sure all the directories are properly capitalized in the mods folder and the config file?

    I just installed the seed extractor mod and it worked fine. However, the seed extractor doesn't immediately appear in your crafting table. You need to smelt 1 cooked alien meat in the stone furnace for it to show up as per the directions on the mod page. Did you do that?

    Edit: A screenshot of my bootstrap.config and mod folder.

    I put the cooked alien meat in the furnace and it doesn't give me the blueprint.

    and yes all that is correct.

    What operating system are you using? Scour your bootstrap for accidental commas or anything different from the one in my picture. You have no idea how many hours I have spent banging my head on a keyboard only to find the problem was a single misplaced semicolon.

    I also used http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/smelting.55/ and it didn't work either...let me take a pic of my thing.

    Try temporarily removing the smelting mod from your bootstrap and don't forget to remove the comma after the seedextractor line. When I downloaded that mod the directories went:
    Which could be confusing it unless you fixed that.

    I tried it without the smelting mod.


    Nothing still happens when I smelt cooked alien meat.



    I'm honestly just confused at what I am doing wrong.
    Going on another server with the mod doesn't matter right?

    That smelting mod doesn't seem to have been created with this installation method in mind. If you followed the directions in its readme you may have overwritten files causing a conflict that prevents either mod from working. Did that happen or did you copy it directly to the mod folder? The seed extractor was a super simple install for me with no real complications so the only difference I'm seeing between us is that mod.

    Just a friendly warning, I am in no place to say this other then saying one word on threads happens to get reports. I'm only saying this because this happened to me D:

    But not even the seedextractor mod works for me.

    I don't care about the smelting mod, was just testing if another mod works.

    1 step at a time

    Okay, you made it seem like you were trying to get both working at once. You're not trying these in multiplayer are you? I'm not entirely sure they work on servers.
