With Within X Rebirth, player-created content used to change that changes the way the game works is called an "extensions". In extension" and those that are in-use can be seen listed in-game via the main menu. Extensions are equivalent to within earlier Egosoft games, where player-created content is called took the form or "scripts" or "mods". Given that past familiarity, X Rebirth extensions are sometimes called mods and their creators are still refereed to as modders.
Please note that the use of of extensions or save game edits can break games either of themselves, after future game updates, or via conflict with other extensions. Consequently, Egosoft are not generally able to support modded/save-game editted such modified games (see here for further details). NZ Wanderer manages a fantastic, up-to-date list of many extensions, and their status, here (on Egosoft's However, do feel free to post any problems you may experience in appropriate threads on the X Rebirth - Scripts and Modding forum).
Unless noted otherwise, extensions are generally added to the extensions folder in the game's installation directory ( e.g. C:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\X Rebirth\extensions ).
Extensions can be subscribed to via the Steam Workshop. This offers connivance for the user in that the Steam will manage installation and updating.
Extensions can also be found on the Nexus website. This alternative route can take the player a little longer to use but it can offer the modder increased flexibility.
