Создание и настройка мода в Stellaris
Кнопка «Редактор» (Mod tools)
Чтобы это сделать, запустите лончер игры, нажмите на закладку «Моды» (Mods), затем «Редактор» (Mod tools)
Кнопка «Создать мод» (Create Mod)
Нажмите на кнопку «Создать мод»
Экран создания мода
Введите название мода в поле «Доступные моды» (Available Mods)
В поле «Каталог» (Directory) укажите имя папки для Вашего мода (лучше, если это будет имя мода, только нужно заменить символ пробела подчёркиванием «_»)
Поле «Версия игры» (Supported version) не меняйте (оно просто показывает пользователям если мод устарел)
И, наконец, добавьте теги мода с помощью выпадающих меню.
Нажмите кнопку «Создать мод» (Create Mod):
Ваш новый мод в своей папке! Нажмите кнопку «Закрыть» (Close) в правом нижнем углу экрана и выходите из лончера Стеллариса.
Настройка файлов и папок.
Для того, чтобы начать, нужно создать определённые файлы и папки.
Папка «Common»
Это папка Stellaris/common, где хранятся все настройки Стеллариса. Здесь чаще всего можно найти примеры того, как сделать ту или иную вещь. Посмотреть, для чего какие папки нужны можно по ссылке http://www.stellariswiki.com/Modding#Game_structure
Папка Defines
Это папка Stellaris/common/defines, в которой находится удивительный файл 00_defines.lua
Папка Mod
Это папка Вашего мода. В ней будут должны находиться все необходимые для работы над модом файлы и папки. Для Вашего мода эта папка действует аналогично основной папке Стеллариса. Всё, что нужно – это поместить папки common and common/defines в папку мода

Стелларис как создать мод
Modding Stellaris is an easy and often a fun way to share your stories with your friends and the greater Stellaris community. Hello, my name is cbshing, creator of workshop mods such as Tomb World Start Systems and Cockroaches of Earth and an active modder since June 2017. For this lesson we will learn to share your Stellaris empires through creating and publishing a Stellaris mod. I look forward to seeing what stories you will share!
For this section we will step through on how to upload the mod you just created to the Steam Workshop.
Now add a description and upload images. If you used any dlc only content or mod content while making your mod, be sure to give those authors credit by adding Required Items or Required DLC.
Now that you have successfully uploaded a mod to the Steam Workshop, you are probably thinking «That was easy!». And you’d be correct in thinking so! The Paradox developers made modding Stellaris very easy, so don’t hesitate to share your stories with the world!
Thank you for reading this guide. I hope to bring to you a series of modding guides so that more mods can be introduced to the Steam Workshop and more people can have fun while playing Stellaris!
If you’re interested, you can find the mod created in this example at the following link on the Steam Workshop:
Cormathani Directorate
If you’ve shared an empire in the Steam Workshop using this guide, please leave a link in the comments below. I’d love to see your stories!

File and folder structure
Getting the structure set up correctly when creating a mod is essential for it to run properly.
This is the required structure inside the main mod folder:
The data structure is similar to the proprietary Valve Data Format. [1]
Example modname.mod file
Adding a thumbnail
The Steam Workshop allows for a preview thumbnail picture that’ll be displayed when searching for mods and as a preview picture if you haven’t uploaded any, otherwise it’ll be placed to the right of the preview pictures.
It’s recommended to make the thumbnail 512px × 512px at minimum, which is used by the workshop frontpage.
Additionally, the thumbnail file should be under 1 MB in size, otherwise, it will not be uploaded.
Both JPEG and PNG are supported, and after 2.4, the image file must be named thumbnail.png.
You can always update the thumbnail at any time by updating the mod (unless you are only a co-author).
Creating a mod
You can use the game launcher to set up a mod structure for you by following these simple steps according to your launcher of choice:
| # | Launcher v1 ( =2.4.0) | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Launch the game | |
| 2 | Navigate to the mods tab | |
| 3 | Click Mod Tools | |
| 4 | Click Create Mod | |
| 5 | Insert the relevant information and click Create Mod at the bottom | |
| 6 | Navigate to the mod folder and locate your mod folder | |
| 7 | Start modding! | |
Uploading and updating a mod
Uploading and updating a mod follows the same procedure, depending on your launcher of choice:
| # | Launcher v1 ( =2.4.0) | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Launch the game | |
| 2 | Navigate to the mods tab | |
| 3 | Click Mod Tools | |
| 4 | Click Upload Mod | Click Upload a Mod |
| 5 | Select your mod from the list | |
| 6 | Click Fetch Info and wait for a response | Select mod site |
| 7 | Insert description * | |
| 8 | Click Upload | Click Upload Mod |
| 9 | The launcher will now upload your changes and inform you when it’s done or if an error occurred. | |
| 10 | Navigate to the mod service of choice and locate your mod; Steam Workshop, visit the Workshop page, and locate the «Files you’ve posted» button by hovering over «Your Files» on the right Paradox Mods, visit the Mods page, login, and click «My uploaded mods» in the dropdown menu that appears when hovering over your name | |

Overwriting Specific Elements
Occasionally, it is possible to overwrite a specific game element without needing to replace the entire vanilla file. In some cases adding an element with a similar identifier (id or key) into another file will duplicate that element for the game. But in other cases, the version that comes first (First In, Only Served; FIOS)/last (Last In, Only Served; LIOS) will be used instead. [2] The order in which files are processed is based on ASCIIbetical order of the filenames. If the names are the same, they’ll be processed based on the displayed order in the launcher (or loading template). Before patch 2.5 the load order was the reverse-ASCIIbetical order of the mod display name, with vanilla always being first (if it’s at the top of the mod list, it’ll be loaded last). Note that if there are multiple mods with the same display name, only the one whose mod file comes first, will be used. For more see #Mod Load Order.
Note that this feature is not documented and thus might be subject to arbitrary changes between versions.
