How to Update mods on a server?
Me and my friend have been doing our first multiplayer playthrough, and we went to start up today and now the server won't load because, "Mod has different version than server's." How do you >Update< mods? I've removed the list and re-added, didn't change anything. Does anyone know whats going on?

Do I assume correctly that you are hosting the server from the game itself?
If so - quit the game, verify your game cache to trigger the (buggy) workshop integration to download the updates and start it anew.

Restart the PZ server instance. It updates the mods automatically at startup.

How do you restart on non-dedicated? My only restarts that I saw were Soft Reset

Used to redownload mods manually via collection and restart Steam, will try this, sounds much easier, thanks.

I can confirm it worked, It is so much easier and doesn't take that long.

Just go to your game in your steam library, right click on it. Hit Properties. Local Files. Verify Integrity of Game Files

I did it.. My friend gave up and I can't really check if it worked. Thanks for telling me it in a clearer way. I'm pretty dense.

Trust me I am awful with tech, no worries! If your friend tries again and it still doesn't work I can see if I can remember the other things I tried.
