			A repository of common mods can be found here: [https://uralez.de/foaop/mods.php Mods]. Some additional ones may be found on the Discord, the Forums, or even be done by yourselves! Alas, there will be no guide on how to make mods yourselves, simply asking around on Discord should give you plenty of guidance to start working on them! (You can also just unpack the mods that already exist to see how they work.)

The first method of installing mods is to just unpack them and mirror the directories of the mod to the games directories. While this is a little bit easier, this is '''not advised, as this will overwrite the default files of the game''', making reverting the changes back to the base a lot more difficult - and in case of an update to the files due to a server's patch changing those exact files, overwrite the mod in question!

Method 2 is preferred, as disabling and enabling mods is very easily done with a config file - and updates to the server will not break the mods. It needs a little bit more set-up, but this is what the guide is for! In addition - if a mod should sit atop of another mod, because one mod changes a lot, another a little but they change mostly the same files, the config will allow you to designate a so-called "load-order".
