Managing the Enforce Mods<\/strong> setting is a critical step for RimWorld Open World<\/strong> administrators who want to ensure gameplay stability. By enabling this feature, you maintain Digital Consensus<\/strong> among all connected clients, preventing desyncs caused by mismatched mod lists. Follow the standard GGServers<\/strong> workflow below to manage your server’s mod enforcement policy.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the Panel<\/h3>\n

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. The dashboard provides the Entity Clarity<\/strong> required to manage the complex file structures and mod dependencies of your RimWorld instance.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Stop the Server<\/h3>\n

To ensure that the mod enforcement rules are correctly applied to the server’s initialization files, click the red Stop<\/strong> button. Changing mod requirements while the server is active can lead to immediate client crashes or lobby errors.<\/p>\n

The server must be offline to modify mod enforcement settings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 3: Navigate to Server Settings<\/h3>\n

On the left-hand navigation sidebar, click on the Server Settings<\/strong> button. This menu contains the primary configuration categories for your RimWorld Open World environment.<\/p>\n

\"Server
Open the Server Settings menu to access your configuration tabs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 4: Open General Settings<\/h3>\n

Inside the Server Settings menu, select the General Settings<\/strong> tab. This section handles the fundamental rules for player connections and mod synchronization.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Change the Setting That Will Auto Save<\/h3>\n

Locate the box labeled Enforce Mods<\/strong>. Setting this to Yes<\/strong> (or 1) forces players to use the specific mods listed in your “Mods Enforced” folder. If disabled, players can join with any mod configuration, though this increases the risk of desync. The GGServers panel features an automatic save<\/strong> function; your selection is updated instantly.<\/p>\n

Toggle mod enforcement to maintain synchronization across all players.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 6: You are Ready to Start!<\/h3>\n

Return to the main dashboard and click Start<\/strong>. Your RimWorld Open World server will now boot with your chosen mod policy, ensuring a consistent experience for your colony members.<\/p>\n
