With the new Trove patch released on June 23rd 2015 a new directory structure went into the game and with it the method for installing mods changed completely.

We were provided "override" folders to place our modified files into. This override folder is created as a sub-directory and must be manually created for each folder mod files are placed into.

For this new change, any files that went into the "Live\ui\" folder now go into the "Live\ui\override\" folder.
More examples of the new file structure:

Live\particles\VFX\Particles\override
Live\blueprints\override

A new modloader has been released that automatically handles this operation. It automatically sorts files into "override" for you, allowing older mods to work as well. Older modloaders are now obsolete in that they do not remove files, they can only place them.
