how to update mods manually?

[user44]

i am trying to join servers that have the mod Upgrade Station / Augment Station / Salvage Station mod. When I join the server, i craft one of the stations but am unable to place it anywhere in or outside of my base.

I feel that the mod is somehow out of date. How can I manually update the mod?

Best thing to do would be to delete that specific mod folder from the directory and then let it auto install it again when joining

The way I check to see if a mod needs to be updated is, go to 'create/resume game', then the 'mod settings' tab, then click the 'get mods' button, that's the unintuitive part.

From there you should see an 'installed mods' tab at the top, which will show you all the mods you have installed. If a mod is fully up to date it will have a small blue box with a checkmark and say 'installed'. If it needs updating it will have a small blue box with a recycling symbol and say 'out of date'.

If out of date just click on the mod and then click the 'update' button in the top right of the screen. Kind of a faff, ngl. The game used to do this automatically, but one day just stopped.

It sounds more like an issue on the server end, if you're joining a server that runs that mod you auto download latest version when joining the server. If the mod is in wrong mod order then it will behave like what you're describing, if the mod is out of date then the server owner needs to restart the server so it can download latest version.

If it's not a server end issue then do like the friedegg described, only uninstall the mod, quit game, then go back in and reinstall the mod.

Haven't seen ASA updating mods on it's own even once but ASE did, just took sometimes forever until you could finally play.
Can't understand why they didn't keep that automatic mod updating system from ASE. Doesn't make sense to remove one of the very few things from ASE that worked perfectly fine.
Doing Mod updates per hand causes so many new issues, apart from ppl not knowing they have to, 'cause there's no hint either.
Like sometimes instead of the mod updating, it just uninstalls itself without the "are you sure" prompt, had that happen a couple of times now.
