Load Order

DayZ mods must be loaded in dependency order. Citadel lets you drag-and-drop to reorder mods in the dashboard. The load order is reflected in the server's -mod= launch parameter.

Auto-Detection

When adding a server, Citadel scans the installation directory for existing @ mod folders and automatically adds them to the mod list.
