It depends on the mod type:

1. C++ mods (.exe files)
Those are easy - just run them like you would regular Powder Toy!

2. Lua mods (.lua files)
Those are not-so-easy: first you got to move the .lua file next to Powder.exe wherever you unpacked it, and second you have to open TPT and into the console write

dofile('my-lua-mod.lua')

where my-lua-mod.lua is actually the file's filename. If you want to not do the second step manually, get cracker64's lua mod manager

When installing lua mods you usually have a long script.

Copy that script to your clipboard.

Then make a text file in the directory where you have Powder.exe.

Paste the script in that text file.

Save the file as....

Save the file as autorun.lua

Dont forget to change "Save as type" to all files.

It's lua if it's not an .exe file basically. It will appear as a bunch of code instead.

Just select the file > Right-click > Click on "Properties" > Under "General" section, you should see

For lua

Type of file: LUA File (.lua)

or for txt

Type of file: Text Document (.txt)

If you are wondering about exe file

Type of file: Application (.exe)

I'm using windows, I don't know if mac or linux work the same way but I'm sure they're not the same.

I have a question, how would you install multiple mods?

P.S. sorry if this has been posted already; I`m new to the forum

To install multiple lua mods you could do one of the following:
1. Create a file called autorun.lua (see @xetalim 's post) in your Powder Toy folder, and paste the script into it. Press enter to leave a space, and paste the next script in. Repeat until all of your scripts are installed.
2. Create autorun.lua and type this inside it: dofile("my-file-name.lua") Then, copy that line into another line (or however many lua mods you want) and rename the my-file-name section into the name of your lua mods. Save it, and when you run Powder Toy it should automagically mount all of the lua mods!
So you could end up with a file like this.

Help please, how to install mods.
