6. Steam Workshop

Uploading Content

Mods can be shared by simply placing the output of your build into the mods folder of your installation (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes\mods). However, it will be much easier to share and update your mod if you publish it to Steam Workshop. Users will be able to subscribe to your mod to download it automatically through Steam.

Once your mod has been completed, built, and tested, you can upload it to Steam Workshop. To do so:

1. Make sure Steam is running and you are logged in.
2. Select Keep Talking ModKit --> Steam Workshop Tool from the Unity menu bar.

At this point, you will need to enter:

1. Mod Title
2. Mod Description
3. Supply a Preview Image
4. Configure Tags for your mod (used to search in the workshop)
5. Change notes for the update you are publishing.

Below the Workshop item configuration, you will see information about what is going to be published. You can verify that the build output folder is set correctly and contains the number and size of files you expect. When you're ready, you can hit the Publish button to push your changes to Steam.

Your workshop item will initially have a WorkshopPublishFileID of 0, which is fine because you have not yet published the item to Steam. Once you Create New Workshop Item and Publish to Steam, this should update with with a 9 digit ID.

You can check your Workshop item and make further changes to it by viewing Your Files at http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/. You can also view the Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes workshop here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/341800/workshop/

Your new Workshop item will initially be set to Hidden and will only be viewable by you. You can change the visibility through the Steam client or the Workshop web page.
