Where Does Oxygen Not Included Store Mods?
Where Oxygen Not Included keeps Steam Workshop and local mods on Windows for backup and moves.
Last updated
Oxygen Not Included keeps mods under Documents in the Klei tree: Workshop downloads and local folders side by side, with an enabled list deciding load order. Colony saves sit in their own save files directory beside them.
Major game updates disable the mod list until authors rebuild, so screenshot working sets before patching. Local mods override Workshop copies with matching names. Copy with the game closed for clean migration.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install Oxygen Not Included mods?
Subscribe on Steam Workshop or drop the mod folder into the local mods directory. Workshop items update with the game; local copies need hand updates. Enable entries in the Mods menu before loading a colony.
How do I move a modded colony setup to a new PC?
Copy the whole mods folder with the game closed, plus the save files directory for colonies. Workshop subscriptions need resubscribing on the new machine. Mod configs travel inside each mod folder.
