This knowledgebase article will help you understand how you can easily add Torch plugins to your Torch server!
Before getting started, please make sure Torch is installed. You can install Torch with the click of a single "Install" button, found under "Non-Workshop Mods" in your game panel.
With Torch installed, we can proceed:
Step 1: Find the plugin(s) you wish to install from torchapi.com
Step 2: Click the plugin's name and click the label that reads "(Click to download)". Download the file to any location on your PC. Please leave this page open as you'll want to later take note of the GUID of the plugin, which can be seen at the top of your browser where the URL is.
Step 3: Navigate to your Space Engineers service in your game control panel. Ensure the server is stopped.
Step 4: Find "File Manager" (alternatively, you may use an FTP client), and navigate to the "Plugins" folder.
Step 5: Upload the previously downloaded plugin. It should be a compressed .ZIP file. You do not need to extract it, so just go ahead and upload the .ZIP file to the "Plugins" folder.
Step 6: Navigate to "Configuration Files" in your game panel, on the left-hand side. Find and open "Torch.cfg" by clicking the "Config Editor" button.
Step 7: Add the plugin GUID to the section that reads "". You can find the ID in the URL of the plugin you are downloading, as touched on in Step 2. For example, to add the ID of Essentials, take its ID, which is "cbfdd6ab-4cda-4544-a201-f73efa3d46c0" (no quotes). Add "<guid>" to the beginning, and "</guid>" to the end of the text so that it finally looks like this:
<guid>cbfdd6ab-4cda-4544-a201-f73efa3d46c0</guid>
You can repeat these steps for every plugin you wish to install. You can add the GUID prior to adding the actual plugin file if desired.
Once you are done, start your server! The plugins should now load.
