Where Does DST Store Mods?
DST mods live in the Steam Workshop plus a local mods folder under the install. World files stay separate per the saves post.
Last updated
World files hold survival runs while mods change the Constant. Workshop subscriptions mount at launch with local mods beside them in the install tree.
The existing saves post covers world files; this one covers the mod side. Server and client mod lists must agree or joins fail. Mod configs persist per world rather than globally.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install DST mods?
Subscribe on Steam Workshop and enable mods in the Mods menu before generating the world. Server side mods need enabling on the server while client only mods stay local. Keep the mod list matched between host and guests.
How do I back up a modded world?
Copy the mods folder plus world folders from the saves post with the game quit. Mods travel as workshop items and local folders while worlds reference them by id. Removing a content mod deletes its items from the world.
