The following guide will show you how to add mods to your current Space Engineers World.



Step 1:
Log into your game panel and click 'stop' on your service.
Step 2:
Select File Manager from the icons
Step 3:
Once in File Manager navigate to /settings/saves/Your Loaded Worlds Name

Step 4:
Find the file called "Sandbox.sbc" and edit it using the icon
We suggest setting this as a favourite by clicking the star icon
This will add it to the Configuration Files for easier access in the future

Step 5:
Navigate through the file until you find the line:
<Mods>

Step 6:
Find the mod ID you wish to use
You can get the ID from the URL of the mod:
Steam Workshop::Energy Shields (steamcommunity.com) 

Get the ID Number from the last part of the URL: ?id="484504816"

Step 7:
Add the ModItem ID like so:
<Mods>
   <ModItem>
     <Name>xxxxx.sbm</Name>
     <PublishedFileId>xxxxx</PublishedFileId>
   </ModItem>
</Mods>
For example:
<Mods>
   <ModItem>
     <Name>297110720.sbm</Name>
     <PublishedFileId>297110720</PublishedFileId>
   </ModItem>
</Mods>
Step 7.1:
If you are adding more mods, it is done like the following:
<Mods>
   <ModItem>
     <Name>xxxxx.sbm</Name>
     <PublishedFileId>xxxxx</PublishedFileId>
   </ModItem>
<ModItem>
<Name>xxxxx.sbm</Name>
<PublishedFileId>xxxxx</PublishedFileId>
</ModItem>
</Mods>
Step 8:
Restart the server and the mod will load and install

Note:
If you are watching the 'Web Console' you will see the following line:
2014-08-1413:32:49.796-Thread:   1->        Up to date mod:  id =xxxxxxxxx
