Want to add some extra content to your colony? Astro Colony mods are distributed as .pak files, which you can add to your MintServers server by uploading them to a single folder. This guide shows you how.
⚠️ Important Warning:
Always stop your server on the MintServers panel before uploading or removing any files.
💡 Mods Are Still Limited
There are only a handful of mods for Astro Colony at the moment. Always read the description on the mod's page before installing it, as it will list any requirements or extra steps.
