← Decision Guides
1
Does Workshop work on the main branch?
- v0.107.1 added official Steam Workshop support. Steam handles discovery and download across devices.
- A mod can still be incompatible with the current branch even when Steam downloads it successfully.
2
Why does progress look missing?
- Modded and unmodded saves are intentionally stored separately to protect the original save.
- v0.108.0 copies the unmodded save into the modded area on first launch and explains the process, but later progress remains separate.
- Do not move or overwrite save files until branch, mod mode, Steam Cloud state, and backup location are confirmed.
3
Why does modded multiplayer report a mismatch?
- Match the game branch and version, then compare every enabled gameplay-affecting mod and its version.
- Cosmetic mods may be excluded from gameplay identity, but test without them if the mismatch persists.
- v0.108.0 improves sorting and error details, but identical gameplay mod sets are still the recommended baseline.
4
Safe troubleshooting ladder
- Back up saves, disable all mods, and confirm the base game launches.
- Enable one dependency group at a time and reproduce on the same branch.
- For multiplayer, have every player follow the same order; a local-only success does not prove the lobby is compatible.
