Manually updating mods?

[pwntrain 0]

The title is pretty self explanatory here. Is there a way to manually update specific mods? Extinction core is not updating properly so we are unable to load into the server

[Kjarstin 22]

In your control panel, there is a little tick right under the server info near the top that says "Clean Mods folder", tick that and restart and it will force your Extinction to redownload and that generally fixes the problem, also the CleanSteamCMD one isn't a bad idea to do as well, as often the download problem with big ones like this current Extinction patch is Steam glitching, 

 

It has saved me a TON of time instead of manually recopying the mods into FTP, which is your other option.

Won't that delete the data involved with all the mods though? Everything we've built or tamed is part of a mod. or does it keep the data so all structures and tames stick around?

It should only delete the program files; the buildings and tames are part of your .ark data file so they shouldn't be affected. But it's a good idea to make a backup of the .ark file with FTP first just in case the server loads once without the mod (and thus wipes everything). That shouldn't happen, but it could if there's a burp at a bad moment.
