FAQ
▸What is the difference between WorkshopItems and Mods?
WorkshopItems holds the numeric Steam Workshop IDs of each mod. Mods holds the mod's folder ID inside the workshop download, usually the mod's internal name. Most mods need an entry on each line, but one Workshop item can expose several Mod IDs, so the two lists do not have to match in length: the mod author's installation instructions are authoritative.
▸My server fails to start after adding mods. What now?
Most failures come from IDs in the wrong field, or from Mod IDs that are not backed by Workshop content the server has available. Format both lists here, verify every configured Mod ID is documented by Workshop content the server actually has available, follow the mod author's installation instructions where a package exposes multiple Mod IDs, and check the server log for the first mod or content entry it cannot resolve.
▸Does this tool upload or store my mod list?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored.
