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

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.

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 from Steam

Method 2: Using Steam Launch Option

This method allows for fast 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 (see Saves above), 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.
  5. This way don't have to rename files every time you want to change mods or play vanilla.

Method 4: Use Mod:Mod Selector Mod

You can run one script to choose your mod pack easily.

Method 5: Steam Shortcuts

This is very technical, but once you know what you're doing it's fast and flexible.

The explanation here is long so it's been hidden behind this toggle button:

Toggle Instructions

  1. A variation on method 3 above is to create (potentially multiple) shortcuts with different launch options, rather than setting a single launch option in Steam.
  2. First, remove any custom launch options currently set in Steam for Brotato.
  3. Get your paths ready:
    1. STEAM_PATH = The absolute path to your Steam EXE (eg: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe").
    2. PCK_PATH = The path to (and including) the PCK file.
      • It's easiest to have it in the same folder as Brotato.exe, as this lets you use a relative path.
      • But it can be in a subfolder, or you can use an absolute path. As long as the path is valid, it'll work.
  4. Create a new shortcut (right click > New > Shortcut)
  5. In the location field, enter: STEAM_PATH -applaunch 1942280 --main-pack PCK_PATH (then click Next and name your shortcut)
    1. This means: In Steam, run the game with the ID of 1942280 (which is Brotato), and launch it with the PCK file at the PCK_PATH location.
    2. Examples for the full shortcut path might be:
    3. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 1942280 --main-pack BrotatoSIFD.pck -- if BrotatoSIFD.pck is in the same folder as Brotato.exe
    4. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 1942280 --main-pack MyMods\BrotatoSIFD.pck -- if BrotatoSIFD.pck is in a subfolder called "MyMods"
    5. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 1942280 --main-pack "C:\BrotatoMods\BrotatoSIFD.pck" -- if BrotatoSIFD.pck is in a separate absolute location
  6. If done correctly, this is basically an alternative to method 3 but without having to keep changing the launch options in Steam.
  7. Documentation for Steam's applaunch command line option is here.
  8. Alternatively, you can use the Steam browser protocol and create a new shortcut that targets steam://run/1942280//--main-pack PCK_PATH.
    1. This is shorter than using the full path to Steam, but Steam will show a warning prompt every time to try to run the shortcut.
    2. It also only seems to work correctly with relative paths.
