Mods
Most modern OXZ mods (Oolite 1.80+) can be downloaded and installed with the Expansions Manager, but can also be downloaded manually and installed in your AddOns folder (see here for specifics). The older OXP format can only be installed manually. Note that you can make some of the older box.com mod links work by replacing the www in their url with app, so it becomes app.box.com.
- The OXZ mod list can be found here.
- Mod lists for the older OXP format can be found here and here. Some of these can also be tweaked by following this guide.
