ASKA servers utilize the powerful Thunderstore modding tool and BepInEx to allow users to install both local and server-side mods. By adding mods to a server, users can enjoy the increased variety and quality of life that mods have to offer. With mods such as increased building storage, autoignite, or max perks, users can enjoy a more relaxing experience, all with the added benefits of a dedicated server.

Note: Some mods are only installed locally, check mod description to determine if server installation is necessary.
