Don't Starve Mod Tools - Update 3/22/2021

[zarklord_klei]

We have just released another update to the mod tools with the following changes:

• Mods uploaded will now have a manifest pregenerated with the mod.
• Possibly fixed an issue with unicode paths not being able to upload to steam.

Happy Modding!

It's always happy modding when you release an update here.

Is there a link to these 'mod tools' ?   Can you post a link when you post these updates?  That way when someone searches for mod tools and find these posts they would be able to then click to where they need to go.

I made mods many years ago but forgot how I did anything, and now on new computers, etc I have no clue on how to share them, publish them, or even find them.

What are the tools?

thanks

It's in steam. 

Left hand side, under the search box.

Click the "Games and Software" drop down. Select "Tools".

That will add them to the list.

Thanks, that should help me upload them... once I can find my local mods!   Still searching. They show up and work when I make a game but they seem to be buried in some other directory instead of the one mods dir I did find..  I'll keep digging

Found them finally.  I'll just put this path as a hopeful reminder to anyone that might be in the same lost boat

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\mods

I don't know why there was another directory called mods that was empty.  Threw me off totally.

New mods downloaded from the workshop now go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\322330

For some reason despite having the "Upload redundant files"

It still uploads the FMOD project files, fmod_temp folder and other .txt files

Wonder if it could be excluded somehow with a new update.
