Steam Workshop

Steam Workshop is a feature of Steam that simplifies mods discovery and installation for players.

Installing a mod

1. Find a mod on the Stellaris Steam Workshop
2. Click "Subscribe"
3. In the Stellaris launcher, click the "Mods" tab and check the box.

Uploading a mod

Mod upload is managed from the game launcher:

• (Optional) Define an image banner and tags in .mod file.
• Launch the game launcher and go to the "Mods" tab
• Click on the "Mod tools" button and select "Upload mod" within the window that opens
• In the menu, select the mod you wish to upload and click on "Upload"
• After upload is finished, mod page will open inside the Steam client. Copy the URL (ex: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=123456) and open in your favorite browser, as it's easier than using the Steam client integrated browser.
• Add a description, screenshots or videos, and edit change notes.
• Once everything looks fine, make the mod public!

Mod file before upload (MyMod.mod):

name="MyMod"
path="mod/MyMod"

Mod file when downloaded from Workshop (mymod.mod):

name="MyMod"
archive="mod/MyMod.zip"

MyMod.zip will contain a generated descriptor.mod which is identical to mymod.mod.

In order to update a mod, hit the "Fetch Info" button before uploading the mod.

Troubleshooting

• Manage button is always greyed out: activate Steam Cloud Synch' for Stellaris (Steam -> Settings/(Preferences on mac) -> Cloud -> Enable cloud sync), it is required to upload mods.

Limitations

The workshop has a few limitations, making it currently unsuitable for large mods:

• Modular mods that allow selecting modules at installation steps cannot be managed
• Maximum file size prevents large mods from using the Workshop.

Mods installed via the Steam Workshop will auto-update, so be careful about non-backward compatible changes as previous saves may become unplayable.
