Game Mods
Thunderstore
A mod-package directory divided into game communities. Its package and dependency structure helps players investigate what belongs in a particular mod setup.
Who it is for
Players using games and loaders covered by the relevant community.
What you can do
- Browse packages in a specific game community
- Review versioned dependencies and use a compatible separate manager
Why use it
- Community-specific package listings help keep mod-loader context visible.
Limitations
Use the correct game community and compatible manager. Dependencies can run code, so review project provenance and back up a working profile.
Check current pricing, regional access and account requirements with the destination before downloading or paying.

Use the correct game community
Thunderstore is a package host organized into game communities. It links to a separate manager; r2modman is another manager for supported Thunderstore games. Choose a manager that explicitly supports your game, rather than treating every package as a universal game addon.
Understand automatic dependencies
Thunderstore packages declare versioned dependencies in their manifest, and a compatible manager installs declared dependencies with the package. That helps assemble a setup, but does not prove compatibility with the current game build or with every other installed mod.
Read the package README, release notes and loader instructions. Check whether multiplayer requires matching packages on the host, clients or server. Manual installation needs the same dependency research; copying only the main archive can leave required components missing.
Test updates in a separate setup
Keep a record of package versions and a separate save backup before updating. Use a test profile where your manager supports it, and check one change at a time. Removing a shared dependency can break remaining packages, so review dependents before uninstalling.
