Official - **.zedmod file:** put it in `Mods//` in the game’s root folder. Official - **Folder:** put the whole extracted mod folder in the same place. If there is no `Mods` folder, create it. Official Main menu → **MOD Manager** turns mods on and off. All mods are on by default, and item ID conflicts are reassigned automatically. Local mods load before Workshop ones, and the same mod is not loaded twice. Official ## ZED ZONE mod types and folders | Type | Folder | | --- | --- | | Ranged weapon | `Mods/RangedWeapons/` | | Melee weapon | `Mods/MeleeWeapons/` | | Ammo | `Mods/Ammo/` | | Magazine | `Mods/Magazine/` | | Gun part | `Mods/GunPart/` | | Arrow | `Mods/Arrow/` | | Food | `Mods/Food/` | | Container | `Mods/Container/` | | Face mask | `Mods/FaceMask/` | | Mod pack | `Mods/ModPacks/` | Each type can add new items or replace vanilla ones (skins or full reworks). The Face Mask editor is not exposed yet. Official ## Mods in co-op and with other players - The host’s mods **sync automatically** to joining players. Official See [co-op](https://zed-zone.wiki/modes/co-op-multiplayer/). - Online Wanderers no longer carry modded items. Official - Loading a save that uses no mods no longer shows a false “Missing MOD” notice (Beta 0.9.99.9.7). Official ## Making a mod with the MOD Editor - Main menu → MOD Editor → New → pick a type. - Click **Import** to start from a vanilla item, then edit names and numbers (damage, fire interval, durability, reload time, range, noise, recoil, pellets, spread, ammo ID). - Load a PNG in the Texture Panel (up to 2 MB; larger than 256×256 is scaled down) and fill other languages in the Locale Panel. - Save, test in game with the console (`additem` and the mod’s ID), then publish from the Workshop Upload Window. From the developer’s manual. Official The editor gained repair recipes (Beta 0.9.95), mod sound effects (Beta 0.9.96) and disassembly products for ranged weapons (Beta 0.9.99.9.7). Official Full docs: [mod-docs on GitHub](https://github.com/IndieDev-LevenLiu/zedzone/tree/main/mod-docs). IDs you will need: [item IDs](https://zed-zone.wiki/data/item-ids/). ## When a mod breaks things Unsubscribing from a mod used to break inventory slots; Beta 0.9.98 fixed it and added a one-click cleanup prompt in the inventory. Official The log at `…\AppData\LocalLow\…\Player.log` records load results: search for `[ModLoader]`. Official See [save files](https://zed-zone.wiki/survival/save-files/) for the folder.
