Non steam version

[☑]

Got GOG version. Discovered mods are pretty much exclusive to steam now. Where do the file download to after subscription?

If I remember correctly, workshop mods are downloaded to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\

Thanks. That is where they go but the folder is only created if you own the game on Steam. Here is the answer I was looking for.

It's up to the author to make the mod available outside of Steam Workshop. You can ask the author to provide it elsewhere but, it is up to them. There might be a work around but I didn't find it. There was some site that allows providing the steam url for the mod to download. But, it didn't work for me. If you bought GOG you can use what's left of indie stone. PZmods.net, or soemthing like that, has been hijacked or no longer exists.

Yep. The folder is only helpful to know if people who don't have it on Steam know someone who does, so that person can download the mods and then zip em up and send them over.

Probably only useful for the odd person who finds this via Google in a couple years.

Try {LINK REMOVED}https://beta.steamworkshopdownloader.io

I know you can use tools like wget or curl to send a POST request to the steam webbased API and get information about files uploaded to the workshop, which are sent back from the post request and include a "file_url" field; After grabbing the file_url field data you can paste that into a browser to download mods for some games. In my experience the file comes as a temporary or tmp file in PKZip archive format (you know files that start with PK and garbage ... 50 4b 03 04), Just rename it to a .zip file and extract the archived files if your in some GUI file manager.

For instance the following wget command will pull info for my farming mod, where publishedfileids[0]= contains the workshop mod id.

wget --post-data=itemcount=1\&publishedfileids[0]=1415491388\&format=csv https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamRemoteStorage/GetPublishedFileDetails/v1/

However with Project Zomboid the file_url is blank.
With my limited knowledge I'm guessing you either need a webapi key, or there is a security setting by default with steam workshop items; This is something TIS would need to unlock for the games workshop items, if it's really a thing. Again I'm guessing on why the file_url field is blank with Project Zomboid related workshop items.

These websites might get you further if you choose to explore the steam api route

Indeed. Most of the authors would probably host any where if it were as easy as the Workshop too.

Not sure if this would be possible but it is worth a try for you. Download the steam demo and see if it will let you sub to the mods you want then copy them from the location

and put the mod files in GOG mod sub folder.
