Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is Necropolis modding?

Easier than ever now with BiE & Thunderstore, both for mod-makers and mod-users. BepInEx (BiE) is open-source and trusted by thousands. Thunderstore is also a well-established mod platform, and mod managers make everything quite simple and smooth.

What is the advantage of Thunderstore over manual BepInEx installation?

Basically Automatic vs Manual. Mod managers is the biggest advantage because they automate 90% of mod handling. Thunderstore is a battle-tested modding ecosystem that is actively maintained.

Will mods work in multiplayer?

Depends on the mod. Some work fine. Others need all players running the same setup. Check each mod's page. Or just wing it and watch chaos unfold.

My mods aren't loading. What now?

Check BepInEx/LogOutput.log for errors. Make sure files are in BepInEx/plugins/. Run the game once after installing BepInEx. Make sure your BepInEx is x86 version. Install mod dependencies. The usual troubleshooting dance.

Who owns Necropolis?

Paradox Interactive owns the IP. Harebrained Schemes made it. We're just the community refusing to let it die. No official affiliation. Just obsessed modders.

BepInEx Installation Guide

So you want to mod Necropolis? Bold. Pick your path: automatic (smart) or manual (masochist).

Automatic Installation (Recommended)

Get a Mod Manager

Download either Gale or r2modman. Both handle everything for you.

Add Necropolis

Open your mod manager, search for Necropolis in the game list, and select it. The manager will detect your Steam installation automatically. If it doesn't, keep the MM open and wait for a bit.

Browse and Install Mods

Search for mods in the built-in browser. Click install. That's it. The mod manager handles BepInEx, dependencies, updates, and load order.

Launch Through Manager

Always launch Necropolis through the mod manager. It'll load your mods and keep everything synced. Launching the game normally through steam will load the vanilla game.

Why Use a Mod Manager?

  • Automatic dependency handling
  • Launch modded or vanilla
  • One-click updates
  • Profile management (switch mod sets instantly)
  • No manual file shuffling
  • Built-in conflict detection
  • Easy enable/disable without deleting files

Manual Installation

For the brave souls who want full control or just enjoy doing things the hard way.

Download BepInExPack Necropolis

Head to the Necropolis BepInEx Pack on Thunderstore and download it.

Locate Your Game Directory

Find your Necropolis installation folder. On Steam: right-click Necropolis → Properties → Local Files → Browse. You should see Necropolis.exe in this folder.

Typical path: \steamapps\common\Necropolis\

Extract BepInEx

Extract the contents of the BepInEx zip file directly into your Necropolis game folder. You should now have a BepInEx folder and winhttp.dll alongside Necropolis.exe.

Install Mods

Download Necropolis mods from Thunderstore and place their .dll files into BepInEx/plugins/. Some mods may have additional files or folders - follow the mod author's instructions. Launch the game and your mods should load automatically.
