[p]We’ve noticed a recent increase in mod-related issues, including:[/p][p]❌ Unstable mods that can corrupt game data or save files
❌ Suspicious or fake mods that may threaten your account security or privacy[/p][p]To help you mod safely, we’ve put together this Mod Safety Tips.
Please take a moment to read through these tips — your game (and your ducks) will thank you![/p][p][/p][h2]Downloading Mods — Stay Smart, Stay Safe[/h2][p]✅ Verify the Source[/p]

[p]Stick to trusted platforms like the Steam Workshop or well-known, reputable third-party mod sites.[/p]
[p]Avoid unofficial or suspicious file-sharing websites with no clear reputation or moderation.[/p]

[p]⚠ Beware of Paid Mods[/p]

[p]Mods are meant to be freely shared by the community.[/p]
[p]If a mod asks for payment, it’s very likely suspicious or scammy — do not download it.[/p][p][/p]

[h2]👥 Choose Popular, Well-Supported Mods[/h2]

[p]High download counts and active user comments usually mean better quality and fewer risks.[/p]
[p]Be cautious with obscure or rarely downloaded mods with little to no community feedback.[/p]

[p]💬 Your fellow Ducklings’ reviews and ratings can be a great guide![/p][p][/p][h2]Installing Mods — Best Practices[/h2][p]💾 Back Up Your Saves[/p]

[p]Always back up your game save files before installing any mods.[/p]
[p]This helps prevent permanent loss of progress if something goes wrong.[/p]

[p]🦠 Scan Mod Files[/p]

[p]If a mod requires extraction or installation outside the game, scan the files with antivirus software first.[/p]
[p]This helps protect your system from malware or viruses disguised as mods.[/p]

[p]📂 Know Where Your Mods Are Stored[/p]

[p]Default Mod Folder Path:
\[Escape From Duckov Installation Directory]\\Duckov_Data\\Mods[/p]
[p]For Steam Workshop Mods:
Go to Your Files → Subscribed Items → Click Unsubscribe to remove them completely.[/p]
[p]Workshop Folder Path:[/p][p]\[Steam Installation Directory]\\steamapps\\workshop\\content\\3167020[/p]

[p]💾 How to Find a Mod’s Steam Page [/p]

[p]Each Workshop mod folder has a numeric name — that’s its Steam Workshop ID.[/p]
[p]To view the mod’s page: Copy the folder name (the ID number) and then Paste it into this link:[/p][p]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id= (Paste the ID at the end of the URL)[/p]

[p]🧪 Test One Mod at a Time[/p]

[p]Enable one mod at a time to easily spot conflicts or issues.[/p]
[p]Installing too many mods at once can make it hard to identify which one is causing problems.[/p][p][/p]
