Adding Mods to Hosting a MP game

[left zealot]

As im hosting a game for me and my friends, and after learning that i can edit the server mid save, i noticed mods can be added, would adding mods to a midsave break the save entirely and require a fresh restart of the save entirely?

Some might cause issues, it is always recommended to make a manual backup if your User/Zomboid/Saves/Multiplayer folder when adding mods to a server

Most should be harmless and will work fine

How/Where can i find and do a manual backup before adding mods?

[eager ruin]

Go to “%UserProfile%\Zomboid\Saves\” and simply copy the Multiplayer folder

Or preferably, compress it into a zip file, then copy that zip file elsewhere

Now you have a backup
