Four steps. Stop the server first, ActiveMods is read on startup.

1
Copy the Mod ID
The Mod ID for this mod is 1153476101. Use the Copy ModID or Copy Install Line button in the sidebar.
When a Steam Workshop mod is installed, SteamCMD fetches the workshop item by this ID on first startup. No manual file copies needed.
2
Stop the server, open GameUserSettings.ini
1. Log in to your server panel and STOP the server.
2. Navigate to the config directory, usually: ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ (or WindowsServer on Windows hosts).
3. Open GameUserSettings.ini and find (or create) the [ServerSettings] header.
3
Add or extend the ActiveMods line
Add a single ActiveMods= entry inside [ServerSettings]. Mod IDs are comma-separated. The order matters: mods later in the list override earlier ones.
Single mod
```
[ServerSettings]
ActiveMods=1153476101
#Merfolk
```
Multiple mods (load-order matters)
```
[ServerSettings]
ActiveMods=1153476101,111111111,222222222
```
The # line is a comment, INI parsers ignore it, but it keeps your file readable when you have many mods.
4
Restart the server
Save the file and start the server. SteamCMD downloads the workshop item on first boot, expect a brief startup delay on the first run. Subsequent restarts are normal speed.
For map mods, also set ?Map= in your launch parameters, for example ShooterGameServer Ragnarok?listen?....
