Lobby automates launching some of the popular mods, alternatively you can one-button launch mods from http://zero-k.info/Mods

This page is a (potentially incomplete) list of currently available Zero-K mods with instructions on how to run them. A list of authors, preferred method of receiving feedback, and a brief description of the mod can also go here; a long description should probably get its own linked wiki page.
  
(if launch button fails, or you want to customize it, you can "download sources" and then proceed with [[Custom Modes]] )
+
For instructions on how to '''create''' a new mod go to [[Mod Creation]].

Open custom room and type following lines:
+
TODO
 
 
<code>!password p</code> this puts password on a room (required for next step)
 
 
 
<code>!game Unit Level Ups v5</code> (enables mod)
 
 
 
<code>!password</code> removes password
 
 
 
 
 
now you can change type of room to coop , teams or ffa as desired
 
 
 
mod can be quite intresting combined with chickens
 
 
 
when playing against AI, adding zombies option helps AI units to grow faster
 
 
 
<code>!setoptions zombies=1,zombies_rezspeed=500,zombies_delay=15</code>

This is a silly gamemode, and it doesn't change much, except for the fact that most of the units you have loved are gone now, leaving only dirtbags and other terrible units for use!
 
 
 
Create any room, click on advanced options, open the "Start" tab, and copy-paste the next long string into the "disabled units" text area:
 
 
 
<code>factorycloak+Iris+Bandit+Rogue+Outlaw+Felon+Racketeer+Vandal+Aspis+factoryveh+factoryhover+factorygunship+factoryplane+sparrow+factoryspider+factoryjump+kodachi+blitz+ogre+minotaur+cyclops+emissary+ettin+factoryamph+factoryship+Athena+Ultimatum+Scorpion+Dante+Merlin+Funnelweb+Detriment+Shogun+Reef+Scylla+staticmissilesilo+Aegis+Picket+Lotus+Urchin+Newton+Stardust+Stinger+Gauss+Desolator+Lucifer+Cerberus+Hacksaw+Razor+Thresher+Chainsaw+Artemis+Antinuke+Trinity+Starlight+raveparty+zenith</code>
 
 
 
After the units have been disabled, as soon as you start the game, panic is guaranteed. See if you can make any value from literal dirt!
 
 
 
Advanced Dirt Wars can have air units. However, the game doesn't need to get that complex. Still, if you wish to see air units in this ridiculous gamemode, then repeat the same actions, except copy-paste the next string. It adds gnats, harpies, and transports into the game. Keep in mind, the author of the idea haven't tested the air unit edition yet, and he may use feedback.

For further horrors, turn on Commshare and Team Commander Ends options. That will make the last relatively useful unit to be the least viable in the game. Have fun surviving.
 
 
 
Compatible with the Unit Level Ups mod.

Unit tweaks:
 
Cheaper dante. Dantes cost as much as a crab or a desolator.
 
Simply enter this in advanced options, unit tweaks: e3N0cmlkZXJkYW50ZSA9IHtidWlsZENvc3RNZXRhbD0xNjAwLH0sfQ==

Long-range scorchers. A possible source of inspiration for Storm Troopers. Also answers the question, "What happens when units who's damage falls off with range gets infinity range?"
 
Enter this in advanced options, unit tweaks: e3ZlaHJhaWQ9e3dlYXBvbkRlZnM9e0hFQVRSQVk9e3JhbmdlPTk5OTl9fX19

Pacifist FFA but: No fog of war.
 
Simply enter this in advanced options, unit tweaks: e3N0YXRpY3JhZGFyID0ge3NpZ2h0RGlzdGFuY2UgPSA5OTk5OSx9LHBsYW5lbGlnaHRzY291dCA9IHtzaWdodERpc3RhbmNlID0gOTk5OTksfSxwbGFuZXNjb3V0ID0ge3NpZ2h0RGlzdGFuY2UgPSA5OTk5OSx9LH0=
 
The mod makes it so that Owls, Radars, Sparrows, all have infinity sight range.
 
It was one of the only game modifications that was capable of keeping 5-6 out of 7 players in a normal FFA match by 1 hour mark. Test it out yourself, and see how it works for yourself. The results of this imaginary scenario are impressive.
