How to use the mod in dedicated server?

Open the "mods" folder. You will see a "dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua". Double click and open it using notepad. Start a new line, type: ServerModSetup("2328604820") where workshop-2328604820 is this mod's file name. (no need to input "workshop-". number only) for mod (workshop-xxxxxxxx), you may type ServerModSetup("xxxxxxxx") in each new line.

Or if you get a mods collection, you may type this instead: ServerModCollectionSetup("#######") where ####### is the collection id. You may right click any empty space in the collection page and copy the page link. The collection id would be the number string after " /?id= ". All mods in the collection will be automatically downloaded.
