Windrose has no official mod support, on the server or in the game. So there are no mods to install on a Windrose server on Wilderack, and the Mods tab doesn’t offer any. You can still shape your world a lot with the game’s own settings.
What the developers say
The developers’ FAQ says mods are used at your own risk. They can’t promise mods work with the game, and they can’t look into problems that happen when mods are installed. They suggest backing up your saves before trying any mod.
The dedicated server guide doesn’t mention mods at all. There’s no mod folder, no mod loader and no Steam Workshop for Windrose.
Some players share game mods on community sites. Those are made for the game on your own PC, not for the server, and nobody checks that they work with a dedicated server.
Why we don’t offer Windrose mods yet
Every mod in our Mods tab comes from a source that the game supports, with versions we can match to your server. Windrose doesn’t have one yet. Installing unsupported files on your server could break your world after the next update, and the developers couldn’t help you fix it.
When the developers add official mod support, we’ll add it to the Mods tab and update this page.
What you can change instead
The world settings cover most of what people use gameplay mods for:
| You want | Change this |
|---|---|
| An easier or harder game overall | The world preset: Easy, Medium or Hard |
| Tougher or weaker enemies | MobHealthMultiplier and MobDamageMultiplier |
| Tougher sea battles | ShipsHealthMultiplier and ShipsDamageMultiplier |
| Shorter or longer boarding fights | BoardingDifficultyMultiplier |
| Harder bosses | CombatDifficulty set to Hard |
| Enemies that scale with your crew | Coop.StatsCorrectionModifier and Coop.ShipStatsCorrectionModifier |
| Shared co-op quests | Coop.SharedQuests |
| Exploring without map markers | EasyExplore set to true (“Immersive exploration” in the game) |
The config reference explains each one, with ranges. The easiest way to set them is to create the world in the game with the settings you want, then bring it to your server.
On the server side, you can also set the password, the server name and how many players can join, in Settings.
If you try client mods anyway
Mods on your own PC don’t change the server. If you try them:
- Back up your single-player saves first. The developers recommend this.
- Turn them off before you report a bug to the developers.
- If you can’t join your server after installing one, remove it and try again. A version mismatch can look like a connection problem.
Your world on the server is safe either way: we keep a safe copy every time it sleeps and every 10 minutes while it runs. See backups.
Questions
Can I install mods on my Windrose server?
Not on Wilderack today. Windrose has no official mod support, and the developers say they can't look into problems on games with mods installed. You can still change difficulty, enemies, ships and co-op rules with world settings.
Will Windrose get mod support?
The developers haven't announced official mod support for the dedicated server. If they add it, we'll add it to the Mods tab and update this page.
