How to install mods

Method 1: KSA Mod Loader

1. Download the zip file for the mod.
2. Copy and paste the zip file into the ModSetup folder of KSA Mod Loader
3. Run KSA Mod Loader and select option "2" to install.

Method 2: Manual

1. Download the mod's zip that contains the class library dll as well as any dependencies.
2. Extract the zip folder so that the .dll file is inside a folder with the same nam as the .dll file.

       StarMap.ExampleMod
       └── StarMap.ExampleMod.dll
       └── ...
   

3. Put this folder inside of the game content files: "KSAInstallLocation/Content/, This folder should also contain the Core mod folder.
4. Lastly the mod needs to be added to the manifest.toml in the "KSAInstallLocation"/Content/ folder, the id needs to match the name of the folder, the .dll file, the name variable inside mod.toml.

   [[mods]]
   id= "core"
   enabled = true
   
   [[mods]]
   id = "[mod name]"
   enabled = true
   

5. When now loading the game via StarMap.exe or StarMapLoader.exe, the mod should be loaded and run.
