This page is work in progress.

Warning

All modding is currently unofficial, use at your own risk. Anyone can put any code they want in the files shared (including malicious code to hack you) so be careful with what you're downloading and don't download anything that looks suspicious.

Download links are moved to individual mod pages as those pages can only be edited by mod developers. While this does not guarantee safety, it ensures that the download link has not been altered by malicious parties.

Save File

Before modding your game, make a copy of your save files as it might get corrupted.

  • Go to %appdata%
  • Make copy of "Brotato" folder

Mod Installation

There is no official Multiple Mod Support at the moment. None of these methods allows running multiple mods in the same game.

Downloading Mods & Setup

  • Make sure to backup your save files.
    • This is an important safety measure, in case a mod unintentionally corrupts your save.
  • Download mods via Mods List table below.
    • The download links are on the individual mod pages.
    • The mod file will have the extension .pck, eg. BrotatoMod.pck.
    • If it's in a ZIP file, you'll need to extract it from the zip first.
  • Open the game's folder.
    • In Steam: Library > Right click on Brotato > Manage > Browse Local Files
  • Make a backup of the vanilla Brotato.pck.
    • Ie. copy and paste it, then rename the copy to Brotato-Vanilla-Copy.pck.
  • Now you're ready to use one of the methods below.

Steam-Browse-Local-Files.png Mod-installation-3-Alt.png

Method 1: Replace Vanilla PCK

This is the simplest method.

  1. In the game folder, delete the original Brotato.pck (after making a backup, as above)
  2. Move the mod's .pck file into the game's folder, and rename it Brotato.pck
  3. Run the game

Method 2: Using Steam Launch Option

This method allows for faster mod switching.

  1. In Steam: Right click on Brotato > Properties > Launch Options
  2. Add --main-pack modpackname.pck
    • Change modpackname.pck to match the name of any mod's .pck file
  3. Run the game from Steam

Example:

Mod-installation-6.png Mod-installation-1.png Mod-installation-5.png

Method 3: Multiple EXE Files

This method doesn't allow steam cloud saves, but lets you run any number of mods quickly.

  1. In the game's folder, duplicate Brotato.exe (ie. with copy & paste).
  2. Rename the copy to match the mod's .pck file.
    1. You might need to rename the .pck file first, it it already has the name Brotato.pck.
  3. Move the mod's .pck where .exe is
  4. Open the copied .exe.

This way don't have to rename files every time you want to change mods or play vanilla.

However, if you are using steam cloud, your save might not transfer between mods.

Mod List

The best place to find the mods you are looking for is the official Brotato discord's modding channel.
