Where Does BATTLETECH Store Mods?
BATTLETECH mods live in a Mods folder in the game directory through ModTek. One folder per mod with a manifest inside.
Last updated
BATTLETECH modding runs on ModTek from a Mods folder in the game directory. Each mod is a folder with a manifest, loaded in dependency order at startup. RogueTech style overhauls and quality of life packs share the layout.
ModTek version gates the stack: game patches break the loader, loader updates unblock the mods. Keep a stable set for careers and an experimental set for new toys. Long campaigns deserve backups before overhaul experiments, since economy edits compound over hundreds of drops.
Where BATTLETECH stores this, by platform
[Steam]\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\Mods
One folder per mod with its manifest, loaded in dependency order. Update ModTek after game patches. Test overhauls on spare careers first.
Frequently asked questions
Mods broke after an update. What now?
Confirm the mod targets your game version in its manifest, since major patches break the loader first. Update ModTek before individual mods. Verify files to return to stock careers.
Are mods safe on a main career?
Yes for quality of life and mech variety, no for anything touching contracts or economy. Campaign balance mods can strand a career when removed, so test on a spare commander first.
