Where Does Against the Storm Store Mods?

Where Against the Storm keeps Thunderstore mods and settlement saves on Windows and Linux.

Last updated

Against the Storm mods live in the BepInEx tree inside the install: plugins for mods and config for per mod options. Settlement progress and meta upgrades sit in saves apart, so back up both halves.

Confirm the Steam AppID on SteamDB before scripting Proton paths. Game patches break mod compatibility regularly, so note working version pairs before updating. Copy with the game closed for clean restores.
