which mods aren't showing up? If it's just one it's probably a mod_info.json problem.

Where exactly are they not showing up? In the launcher? In game? Are your mods up to date?

Did you properly unpack the mods? IE You used the "unpack here" command?

Each mod's folder should look like the attached image. "Starsector/mods/ModName/mod_info.json". There should not be any ".zip" or "mods/ModName/ModName" going on.
