Update 0.6.2 Patch 2 – Mod Collector

Hello, Engineers!
In this patch we’re enabling mod collection downloading for the dedicated servers. This feature was introduced into the clients on the release of 0.6.2, and now it’s there for dedicated servers too. Admins can simply create a mod collection on Steam and then tell their server just to load the mod collection ID. The game will automatically figure out which mods to download, and from then on you can manage your server’s mods from the Steam workshop. We also resolved various issues with the player’s death handling, such as the corpses not loading correctly and the character getting disconnected from their character on respawn.

Enjoy the update!
