The Silo catalog & provenance — one record per mod, provably real

The Silo catalog

One record per mod. Every source. Provably real.

Silo aggregates ModHub, GitHub and Nexus into a single canonical record for each Farming Simulator 25 mod — with the latest version found across every source — and hashes each build from its source, so an installed mod can be checked against the real, untampered one. This is the engine behind Silo's catalog and its Verified badge.

Mods scatter. The truth gets fuzzy.

A mod lives on ModHub, its author ships newer builds on GitHub, a mirror sits on Nexus. Which is the latest? Is the file you downloaded the one the author actually published — or was it repacked with something extra? The catalog answers both.

⌗

One canonical record

Every source for a mod is resolved to a single record, so you see the true latest version across all of them — not whichever site updated last.

✓

Provenance, not antivirus

We hash each build from its source. Silo hashes your installed copy and compares: a clean match, or the exact files that differ. It confirms what a mod is — it doesn't guess intent.

⟳

Fresh, and growing

An hourly sweep keeps versions and metadata current, popular-first. Coverage of hashed builds fills in continuously across GitHub and ModHub.

✓ Verified ◐ Modified ? Unverified — the three verdicts you'll see in the app, and on Browse.

Silo indexes public mod information and links back to each source — it does not host, mirror, or redistribute mod files. Downloads always go to the original source, whose own terms apply.

For mod authors

Own your builds in the catalog.

Provenance is only as good as its source of truth — and no one knows a mod's real build better than the person who made it. We're opening a way for authors to claim their mods, so your published builds become the canonical ones Silo verifies against, and your work carries the ✓ Verified badge users trust.

Claim your mods and confirm which builds are authentic.
Your releases become the reference Silo checks installed copies against.
Users can tell a genuine build from a tampered repack at a glance.

Author contributions — opening soon

Want in early? Watch or open an issue on GitHub — we'll announce the author onboarding there first.

For developers

A public read API.

The catalog is served by SiloAPI — a public, read-only HTTP API. No key, no account. Please be a good citizen (it's rate-limited); it aggregates public metadata and links back to sources.

Base: https://silo-api.hllmr.com

GET /stats GET /categories GET /mods?q=&category=&sort=&limit=&offset= GET /mods/:id GET /img/:id

The Browse page is built entirely on these endpoints — view its source for a working example.

For nerds

The whole system, by the numbers.

The only data we have is aggregate counts — no account, no telemetry, nothing about you or your library. Here's all of it, warts and small numbers included (it's an early beta).
