Introduction
Mods allow you to expand the gameplay of StarRupture by adding new mechanics, content, quality-of-life improvements, or gameplay adjustments created by the community. Many StarRupture mods are distributed through community platforms such as NexusMods and can be installed both on the server and locally on the client.
Installing mods on your server ensures that the server environment loads the modified content, while installing them locally allows your game client to use the same files when connecting to modded servers.
Installing mods on the server
To install mods on your StarRupture server, first download the desired mod file from a trusted source such as NexusMods.
Before uploading the mod, make sure your server is stopped to avoid file conflicts during installation. Next, connect to your server via FTP using an FTP client. Once connected, navigate to the following directory on your server:
/gxxxxxxx/StarRupture/Content/Paks
Upload the downloaded .zip mod file into this folder. After the upload has completed, extract the contents of the archive directly inside the Paks directory. Once the files have been extracted, return to your server management panel and start the server again.
During startup, the server will automatically detect and load the installed mods.
Installing mods on the client
Some StarRupture mods may also need to be installed locally on the client. Most locally installed mods remain active when connecting to servers. First, download the desired mod from a trusted source such as NexusMods.
Next, open your Steam Library, right-click StarRupture, hover over Manage, and select Browse local files. Inside the game installation directory, locate the following path:
StarRupture/StarRupture/Content/Paks
Transfer the downloaded .zip mod file into this folder. After copying the file, extract the archive directly into the Paks directory. Once extracted, the mod will be loaded automatically the next time you start the game.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed mods for StarRupture on both the server and client. With mods installed, you can extend the gameplay experience with new features, mechanics, and improvements created by the community.
