## <font color="red">Server related questions</font>

In `user/mods/`. If it's not located there, create a folder `mods` in the `user` folder of the server.

### <font color="orange">Can i play with friends on SPTarkov ?</font>
In order to play with your friends, you need to buy an Escape From Tarkov copy at https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/preorder-page
**SPTarkov will never hold multiplayer capabilitys.**. So no you will not be able to play with your friends using SPTarkov. Even if you find videos that show people playing with other people on it, it's not made by SPTarkov tarkov team, and it's absolutely not related to it too.
### <font color="orange">Where is the `bots_f`folder?</font>
## <font color="red">Building from source questions</font>

`C:\This is a bad directory name\modules\project`
See below for a good example of a directory structure.
`C:\SPTarkovDev\modules\project\`

For cleaning this folder, open the windows start menu and search **%temp%**.
Open this folder and look for **Battlestate Games**. Delete this folder and it's done!
### <font color="orange">Can i use the underbarrel grenade launcher ?</font>
No you can't, the grenade launcher is having issues when reloading which blocks your character of doing anything else in a game. It's not meant to be useable, otherwise it would be available on the official game.
