Currently the web user interface does not work in my experience. Don't enter mods by a comma separated list. It does not work. Instead you manually need to edit Sandbox_config.sbc (save settings) and add the mods here. It works for me.
Step by step:
1. Don't try to add mods through web user interface. Stop the server.
2. Edit Sandbox_config.sbc (save settings) through FTP and add the mods with the new format - the one not using the unsignedLong element.
3. Start the server.
You need FTP access and edit settings in the Sandbox_config.sbc (save settings) in /Instance/Saves/NAMEOFWORLD/.
Remember to stop the server while editing!
"All I wanted was a handful of mods, airtightness and a password without experimental mode lol."
If that is it, then you only need to edit Sandbox_config.sbc (save settings) at /Instance/Saves/NAMEOFWORLD/. For mods, see this:
Password is not recommended. Use the Steam Group option instead to limit users to your server.
Alway stop the server before editing saves. You will find the file in:
/Instance/Saves/NAMEOFWORLD/Sandbox_config.sbc
Edit Sandbox_config.sbc and not the Sandbox.sbc
Yes, always edit the specific save through Sandbox_config.sbc (save settings). SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg (server settings) is for the complete server and it seems not all settings are currently copied when creating a new save.
A notice: Right now the control panel interface inserts the mods only SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg (server settings) and not Sandbox_config.sbc (save settings). It also seems it inserts in a wrong format. Use FTP and edit Sandbox_config.sbc (save settings) only.
Do not try to add mods with the control panel interface. It will not work. I've reported it in a support ticket.
Hi,
Currently the web user interface does not work in my experience. Don't enter mods by a comma separated list. It does not work. Instead you manually need to edit Sandbox_config.sbc (save settings) and add the mods here. It works for me.
The above XML is SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg (server settings) and it has the mods element twice - one with the right format and one with the wrong format which is inserted by the control panel user interface. Step by step to fix:
1. Clean up the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg (server settings) and remove the two mods element and only leave it empty once.
2. Edit Sandbox_config.sbc (save settings) through FTP and add the mods with the first format - the one without the unsignedLong element.
You can find a guide below. Just remember - Don't enter mods by a comma separated list in the control panel interface. I've reported it as a bug with the control panel interface in a support ticket.
