well.. as i do own the game and ya’ll are a bunch of tight arsed people.
i came across this looking for where to put any mods manually for stellaris but managed to find where on my own after soem more manual searching.
@Matias now i will not go as far as telling you where to get said workshop files but i will say it is fully possible as that is what i am doing to edit a workshop mod to my prefferance and as it redowloads it whenever i try it with my custom files..
this is where to put said mod files/folders or however it is packaged C:\Users\#USERNAME#\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris
and before some piece of crap comes and complains about me being a pirate sympathiser (which there is no evidence of matias being one.. he could be truthfull and could be using a friends account.. unlikely.. but possible) either way i know how it is to be young and in a family that is poor but yer dad or mom whatever can barely afford to give you a computer and a game or two a year blah blah blah all that i know.. that is why i am trying to help a wee bit.. however if he is over 18 and he is still pirating without a second thought then screw him rightfully so. support the dev’s you like and the games you like.. but not everyone.. FAR from everyone can do exactly that. i want the newest dlc’s but i just can’t afford it cause they are so rediculously overpriced considdering they are just small dlc’s
Stellaris how to install mods
A mod (short for modification) is an alteration of the game and the objective of modding. Modifications can range from small tweaks to total conversions.
Содержание
Installation [ править | править код ]
Mods can be downloaded and installed from several sources:
When running Stellaris from Steam, the mod installation folder is:
From Paradox Launcher, the mod installation folder is:
Never install mods into the game installation directory (ie: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Stellaris\mod or
/.local/share/Paradox Launcher/games/stellaris/mod ), as the mods will not be properly loaded.
Check in the mod description the Stellaris version compatible with the version of the mod. If needed, rollback to an older patch, using “Steam Beta” tab in Steam or the “Game Settings” tab in Paradox Launcher.
In case of manual installation, the steps are usually the following (refer to specific mod instructions, if any):
If you *still* are having trouble, then use the launcher’s mod area to create an empty mod from within the launcher. Once created, go to the mod/ folder to see the structure of the newly generated mod and compare it with the structure of the mod you are trying to install.
Mods lists [ править | править код ]
Most mods are published on the Steam Workshop:
Modding
Modding, or creating mods, is the act of modifying the behavior of the base game (often referred to as vanilla), either for personal use, or to release publicly to other players, for instance via the Steam Workshop.
As with all Paradox games, Stellaris is moddable to a great extent. Motivations of modders may vary widely; better translation to native language, more events or decisions, better map, major overhaul, shameless cheating, etc.
This guide is intended to lower the entry barriers to the world of Stellaris modding. However, there is still a learning curve to it, and it cannot replace the need to read some working vanilla code, and do lots of trial and error experimentation!

Modding tutorial [ править | править код ]
There is a modding tutorial available which covers steps necessary to create a basic mod.
Mod management [ править | править код ]
The first steps of modding is getting to know where the mods are located, how they’re structured and what to do when uploading your first mod!
Mod folder location [ править | править код ]
/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod
Windows
…\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod
Mac OS
/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod
File and folder structure [ править | править код ]
Getting the structure set up correctly when creating a mod is essential for it to run properly.
This is the required structure inside the main mod folder:
Name
Required
Description
Example
name
Yes
Name of your mod.
name=»My Stellaris Mod»
path
modname.mod: Yes
descriptor.mod: No (Ignored)
The data structure is similar to the proprietary Valve Data Format. [1]
Example modname.mod file SomeMod.mod
Adding a thumbnail [ править | править код ]
The Steam Workshop allows for a preview thumbnail picture that’ll be displayed when searching for mods and as a preview picture if you haven’t uploaded any, otherwise it’ll be placed to the right of the preview pictures. It’s recommended to make the thumbnail 512px × 512px at minimum, which is used by the workshop frontpage. Additionally, the thumbnail file should be under 1 MB in size, otherwise, it will not be uploaded. Both JPEG and PNG are supported, and after 2.4, the image file must be named thumbnail.png.
You can always update the thumbnail at any time by updating the mod (unless you are only a co-author).
Creating a mod [ править | править код ]
You can use the game launcher to set up a mod structure for you by following these simple steps according to your launcher of choice:
#

Overwriting specific elements [ править | править код ]
Occasionally, it is possible to overwrite a specific game element without needing to replace the entire vanilla file. In some cases adding an element with a similar identifier (id or key) into another file will duplicate that element for the game. But in other cases, the version that comes first (First In, Only Served; FIOS)/last (Last In, Only Served; LIOS) will be used instead. [2] The order in which files are processed is based on ASCIIbetical order of the filenames. If the names are the same, they’ll be processed based on the displayed order in the launcher (or loading template). Before patch 2.5 the load order was the reverse-ASCIIbetical order of the mod display name, with vanilla always being first (if it’s at the top of the mod list, it’ll be loaded last). Note that if there are multiple mods with the same display name, only the one whose mod file comes first, will be used.
Note that this feature is not documented and thus might be subject to arbitrary changes between versions.
Common folder [ править | править код ]
FIOS – First in, only served.
LIOS – Last in, only served
NO – Cannot individually overwrite
Please note that not everything could be tested extensively.
Localisation folder [ править | править код ]
Localisation is likely LIOS
A guide for overwriting localisation can be found here.
Events folder [ править | править код ]
Events are treated as FIOS

Testing Mods [ править | править код ]
Certain, more obscure Console commands (that don’t show up if you type ‘help’ in the console) are extremely useful in the process of testing a mod and more specific alterations.
Troubleshooting mod installation [ править | править код ]
Multiplayer requires same mod list and load order for all players.
Try reload mods button in launcher. All installed mods > Reload installed mods.
Check if non-ASCII characters exist in the address of the mod folder.
Verify integrity of Stellaris installation files (for Steam right click on Stellaris > Properties > Local files > Verify). Warning: Verification tool does not check for any additional files put into the installation folder, and those might still alter the checksum. Check patch notes and compare your unmodded game (vanilla) with reference checksum.
Make sure your antivirus is not blocking the launcher. It might do so silently without a warning.
Check if your OneDrive ran out space or is disconnected if you are using it (you might not know that you are).
If you have a mod both as a local and as a workshop subscription game will refuse to load it. Remove or move one, including root Stellaris/mod/.mod file
Delete Paradox Launcher database files as they might be corrupted (backup first):
Purging all mods [ править | править код ]
This will reset your mod settings completely (nuclear option!):
Mod load order [ править | править код ]
Ordering mods incorrectly can lead to problems in game. Mods that edit the same game files will conflict. The following section will give general tips on load order and a general load order guide. Ordering mods correctly will reduce problems, but is not guaranteed to fix all problems.
Modding
Modding, or creating mods, is the act of modifying the behavior of the base game (often referred to as vanilla), either for personal use, or to release publicly to other players, for instance via the Steam Workshop.
As with all Paradox games, Stellaris is moddable to a great extent. Motivations of modders may vary widely; better translation to native language, more events or decisions, better map, major overhaul, shameless cheating, etc.
This guide is intended to lower the entry barriers to the world of Stellaris modding. However, there is still a learning curve to it, and it cannot replace the need to read some working vanilla code, and do lots of trial and error experimentation!

Overwriting specific elements [ править | править код ]
Occasionally, it is possible to overwrite a specific game element without needing to replace the entire vanilla file. In some cases adding an element with a similar identifier (id or key) into another file will duplicate that element for the game. But in other cases, the version that comes first (First In, Only Served; FIOS)/last (Last In, Only Served; LIOS) will be used instead. [2] The order in which files are processed is based on ASCIIbetical order of the filenames. If the names are the same, they’ll be processed based on the displayed order in the launcher (or loading template). Before patch 2.5 the load order was the reverse-ASCIIbetical order of the mod display name, with vanilla always being first (if it’s at the top of the mod list, it’ll be loaded last). Note that if there are multiple mods with the same display name, only the one whose mod file comes first, will be used.
Note that this feature is not documented and thus might be subject to arbitrary changes between versions.
Common folder [ править | править код ]
FIOS – First in, only served.
LIOS – Last in, only served
NO – Cannot individually overwrite
Please note that not everything could be tested extensively.
Localisation folder [ править | править код ]
Localisation is likely LIOS
A guide for overwriting localisation can be found here.
Events folder [ править | править код ]
Events are treated as FIOS

Testing Mods [ править | править код ]
Certain, more obscure Console commands (that don’t show up if you type ‘help’ in the console) are extremely useful in the process of testing a mod and more specific alterations.
Troubleshooting mod installation [ править | править код ]
Multiplayer requires same mod list and load order for all players.
Try reload mods button in launcher. All installed mods > Reload installed mods.
Check if non-ASCII characters exist in the address of the mod folder.
Verify integrity of Stellaris installation files (for Steam right click on Stellaris > Properties > Local files > Verify). Warning: Verification tool does not check for any additional files put into the installation folder, and those might still alter the checksum. Check patch notes and compare your unmodded game (vanilla) with reference checksum.
Make sure your antivirus is not blocking the launcher. It might do so silently without a warning.
Check if your OneDrive ran out space or is disconnected if you are using it (you might not know that you are).
If you have a mod both as a local and as a workshop subscription game will refuse to load it. Remove or move one, including root Stellaris/mod/.mod file
Delete Paradox Launcher database files as they might be corrupted (backup first):
Purging all mods [ править | править код ]
This will reset your mod settings completely (nuclear option!):
Mod load order [ править | править код ]
Ordering mods incorrectly can lead to problems in game. Mods that edit the same game files will conflict. The following section will give general tips on load order and a general load order guide. Ordering mods correctly will reduce problems, but is not guaranteed to fix all problems.
