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
Backups
Before modding your game, make a copy of your save files as it might get corrupted.
- Go to
%appdata%
- Make copy of "Brotato" folder
Separate Save Files
If you launch a mod through Steam, you can keep using your Steam cloud save and all its unlocks. However, if you launch a mod outside of Steam (eg. by running an EXE directly), a separate save file will be used instead. You can view both at %appdata%\Brotato
. The folder with the long numbers contains your Steam save. If you have a folder named "user", that's the folder that gets used if you run the EXE directly. You can copy and paste save data between them if you need to (just be very careful if you do this, as doing this could accidentally overwrite your proper save file, so it's best to keep your main save backed up in a totally separate folder just in case).
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.
Method 1: Replace Vanilla PCK
This is the simplest method.
- In the game folder, delete the original Brotato.pck (after making a backup, as above)
- Move the mod's .pck file into the game's folder, and rename it Brotato.pck
- Run the game from Steam
Method 2: Using Steam Launch Option
This method allows for faster mod switching.
- In Steam: Right click on Brotato > Properties > Launch Options
- Add
--main-pack modpackname.pck
- Change modpackname.pck to match the name of any mod's .pck file
- Run the game from Steam
Example:
Method 3: Multiple EXE Files
This method doesn't allow steam cloud saves, but lets you run any number of mods quickly.
- In the game's folder, duplicate Brotato.exe (ie. with copy & paste).
- Rename the copy to match the mod's .pck file.
- You might need to rename the .pck file first, it it already has the name Brotato.pck.
- Move the mod's .pck where .exe is
- Open the copied .exe.
This way don't have to rename files every time you want to change mods or play vanilla.
However, you won't be able to use your Steam cloud save (see Saves above).
Method 4: Use Mod:Mod Selector Mod
You can run one script to choose your mod pack easily.
