Why aren't my shapez mods working in CE?

shapez CE uses a completely different format for mods, so mods need to be specifically written for Shapez CE.

Where is my mod folder for shapez?

For shapez obtained from Steam or Epic Games Store:

  • Windows: %appdata%\shapez.io\mods
  • Mac: /Library/Preferences/shapez.io/mods
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/shapez.io/mods

For shapez Community Edition: [1]

  • Windows: %appdata%\shapez-ce\mods
  • Mac: /Library/Application Support/shapez-ce/mods
  • Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/shapez-ce/mods

Notes

  1. shapez CE uses app.getPath("userData") from Electron APIs to determine location of mods and savegames. More information can be found in the documentation.
