Uploading Mods to mod.io

Packing

When you create a mod, one the steps you pass is packing.

It should be done for all types of mods that you want to publish: maps, trucks, etc.

Particular instructions to initiate packing of the mod vary depending on the mod type. For details, see the corresponding section of the portal that is related to the type of the modding entity you want to pack.

However, for all modding entities, as a result of packing, the game or the Editor will generate fhe set of .zip files. The location of these .zip files is also different for different mod types. See the corresponding section of the portal for details.

To create a new mod at mod.io, you will need to upload these .zip fles there.

Uploading Process

In short, the uploading process is the following:

1. Open the site of the game at mod.io:

   • For Expeditions: https://mod.io/g/expeditions.
   • For SnowRunner: https://mod.io/g/snowrunner.

   NOTE: To login to mod.io you can use authentication by the e-mail. And, during sign-in, use the same e-mail address that you have used during the activation of the MOD BROWSER in the Main Menu. See Registration and Authentication for details.

2. After sign-in, at the site of the game (see above), click the Add mod button, located at the upper right corner of the page.

3. Pass the Add your Mod wizard. You will need the .zip files that you have generated during packing at its 3rd step ("File manager").

   Please note that to upload a mod to mod.io correctly – you need to upload every .zip file of every platform as a separate file at the File manager step.

   Particularly, at the File manager step, for every .zip file from the set, you will need to:

   • Click Select zip file button.

   • Select single .zip file corresponding to a particular platform.
     For example, my_sample_mod_01_pc.zip. Or, my_sample_mod_01_nx64.zip

   • On the same page, select the platform of the file by the check mark.
     For example, Windows (for ..._pc.zip file). Or, Nintendo Switch (for ...__nx64.zip file).

   • Specify other fields on this page.

   • Click Upload & next to finish with the file for the particular platform.

   • Then, come back to the same File manager step (by clicking its number at the top of the page) and repeat the same operations for the next .zip file of the platform.

   NOTE: Depending on the Visibility of your mod at mod.io, your mod can be made available to the public (Public mods) or remain hidden (Hidden mods).

After successful creation of the new mod.io mod, you can Subscribe to it and Enable it in the game – see Usage of Mods from mod.io for details.
