I try to mod but i cant acitvate the mod so i try to use an existing mod, the Steam Deathbringer Mod as example.
I deflate the mod and copy the files to C:\Users\hpr\Documents\AtomicTorchStudio\VoidExpanse\Mods\deathbringer
Give it a unique id and start Void Expanse, in Modlist i see the mod, with a endless spinner where the icon is. I can select the mod, but on save nothing happen, the dialog is still open.
Here is an error from client...log:
Exception System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\hpr\Documents\AtomicTorchStudio\VoidExpanse\Mods\deathbringer' is denied.

Try to run as admin, nothing change.
Reinstalled the game, nothing change.
Add the files to an .mpk, then i got an error popup on startup
Error loading mod from C:\Users\hpr\Documents\AtomicTorchStudio\VoidExpanse\Mods\deathbringer.mpk
Hello!
If I understood you correctly, you could use Steam mods, but cannot use local mods dropped to the folder "C:\Users\hpr\Documents\AtomicTorchStudio\VoidExpanse\Mods\" because the game cannot access/load it.
The game requires that you place only *.MPK-files to the folder "C:\Users\hpr\Documents\AtomicTorchStudio\VoidExpanse\Mods\". The MPK files are simple deflate ZIP without compression (none or zero compression level) which contains "header.xml" at its root.
Could you try please copying any *.MPK-file from Steam Workshop (without decompressing/recompressing/any modification) to this folder and confirm that the issue still persist?
Regards!
Thank you, now i found the problem: i compress my folder `hpr` instead of compressing the files within the folder ::)
I'm glad to help.
Enjoy the game!
