• Mods that make use of other people's work without credited permission
  
• Mods that violate the Steam Subscriber Agreement or Klei's Content Guidelines
  
• Mods intended to circumvent metagame entitlements (I.e. skins, item drops, DLC or product ownership)
  
• Mods that contain copyrighted material of which you do not own or have permission to use

Any mod that makes use of art or assets not entirely created by the mod creator must include a link to where they are granted permission to utilize those assets either individually or under general license.

Modding Etiquette: General Guidelines

Take a few moments to read through and familiarize yourself with our modding etiquette guidelines.

• Please remember that modders are not required to support their mods; and while you are welcome to ask a modder to add, remove, or change parts of their mod, it is ultimately up to the modders whether they make any changes or not.
  
• Public mods must be complete and in working order with a full description of what the mod contains, with applicable screenshots and title image
  
• It is good etiquette to create Generation Options entries for your mod.
  
• Mods intended to be just for personal use should not be published for public use.
  
• Please provide permission details in your mod description if you would like others to be able to use your work. This may be specific names that have been allowed to use your work in another mod, general permissions for everybody and/or specific requirements for attribution.
  
• If you would like to modify and upload another person's mod as part of your own work, be sure to ask them for permission if none is specifically provided and provide proper credit as requested by the original creator.
  
• In the case where no permission is granted explcitly; it will be assumed that no permission has been granted.
  
• In cases where a mod has been abandoned, unfinished or no longer compatible and has updated and reuploaded by another member; unless specifically stated otherwise the original mod will be considered abandoned and permitted to be stay unless otherwise directed in the orignal mods description or the original author requests removal; at which time the original mod will require specific permissions be added to the mod to deny re-use of the mod and the reuploaded mod will be removed.
  
• Mods containing assets from other games or media are not allowed.

In addition to the Steam subscriber agreement and Rules and Guidelines for User Generated Content, we also ask that you follow our community guidelines and etiquette.

Trouble Shooting

I subscribed to a mod and now I can't start my game

If a mod breaks your game, unsubscribing will not fix the issue until you delete the mod folder from your local files.

To get to the local files, RIGHT CLICK on Invisible Inc in steam and select Properties. Choose LOCAL FILES and then BROWSE LOCAL FILES.

There will be a folder named "mods". Inside that will be a folder for each subscribed mod. Delete the folder for the broken mod and unsubscribe from it in the Steam Workshop.

If you don't know which folder it is, you can delete all of the folders in the mods folder. Next time you run the game, you can REFRESH MODS in the GAMEPLAY tab of the OPTIONS screen to bring back all your subscribed mods.
