The Discord

Most mods are stored in the official Discord in the # mod-share channel or in the rm-mod-database Github repository. Many mods reference RMML or Rusted Moss Mod Loader, which is also available in the # mod-share channel or on Github.

Rusted Moss Mod Loader is required to use .md and index.csv mods and is optional for .ini mods. RMML also comes installed with RMMM, which greatly simplifies installing and managing mods.

Steam Directory

Mods live in Rusted Moss’s Steam directory, Steam/steamapps/common/Mose. You can easily find this by right-clicking on the game and clicking “Browse local files”.

From here, you’ll find the mods folder. Some mod installation guides call this folder Mose/mods.

From there, you follow the mod’s install instructions. For non-RMML mods this usually means unzipping the install zip into the mods folder, making sure meta_info.ini is replaced.

If an install zip isn’t provided, then you need to open the meta_info.ini file in the mods folder and set mod_enabled to 1 and replace sniper_bnuy.ini with the file name of the mod.

[general]
mod_enabled = 1
[meta_info]
mod_0 = my_mod.ini

Rusted Moss Mod Loader

Rusted Moss Mod Loader (RMML) replaces the normal mod installation and loading process to fix a few issues. RMML comes with Rusted Moss Mod Manager, which lets you download mods from the internet, manage your mod list, and automatically disables mods in the event of startup crash.

RMML downloads are available in the # mod-share channel in the official Discord or on Github. You install by unzipping rmml_X_X.zip into the mods folder, replacing meta_info.ini. After starting the game, you can use the gear icon on the menu to open the GUI and download other mods.

If you want to install a mod manually, place it in the mods/rmml folder (in either the Steam or saves directories) and either enable it with RMMM or add your mod (as a relative path from mods/rmml) to modlist.txt in the mods folder.

If you are using RMML, do not install other .ini mods or modify meta_info.ini.
