Installing a Mod

To install a mod for Platypus Reclayed, it needs to be placed inside a specific folder within the game directory. That is:

Platypus Reclayed\Platypus_Data\StreamingAssets\<mod folder goes here>

For example, if you want to install our mod "Platypus Desert Mission" on a Steam install of Platypus Reclayed, you will need to copy the folder so that it ends up here:

\steamapps\common\Platypus Reclayed\Platypus_Data\StreamingAssets\Platypus Desert Mission

(Note: You can get to your Steam install location by right-clicking the game in the Steam Library, selecting Properties, then Installed Files and then clicking Browse.)

The game looks for a file called modmeta.json in the top-most level of the folder structure. In the example above, the path to the file should look like this:

\steamapps\common\Platypus Reclayed\Platypus_Data\StreamingAssets\Platypus Desert Mission\modmeta.json

If the mod doesn't show up under Add-ons or Mods in the main menu, then double-check you don't have an extra folder level e.g.

Platypus_Data\StreamingAssets\Platypus Desert Mission\Platypus Desert Mission\<mod files>

This can happen accidentally when unzipping the mod files with certain tools and means that the game will miss the mod file when it's searching.

You can add many mods to this folder and the game should pick them up automatically.
