That is being actively worked on. You should see the first version of it with the next release (v1034)

Personally, I never liked what a mess Workshop is. Authors put their mods in all categories in an effort to increase downloads. Nexus mods is much easier to find what you are looking for.

In regards to authors spaming categories there are rules against that, but like most things Valve implemented, the rules are not enforced. Otherwise feels like 95% of workshop content probably be removed overnight.
Second, Nexus should outright be boycotted. They are near enough the EA of the modding world and are all about establishing control over users and content creators.

Not familiar enough with the goings on of Nexus, besides being the location I get mods for Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim etc. Well, used to.

Basically short and curlys if you upload a mod there you no longer have real control over your mod and there is no way to delete it if you wish. Few more unfriendly ToS added over the past few years but that was the main one that turned a lot of content creators away.

You may be right relating to Nexus from a developer's point of view but in a user's point of view, it is the best option for what's available IMO. In terms of category rules in Workshop, that's a laugh, it's a complete mess.

No. Not sure where you got that idea from.

When I hear people mentioning workshop and mods, I remember Arma 3 where its next to impossible to find a decent server without being forced to download dozens of mods.

The game is pretty dead right now and currently as a new player I can barely find a PvP servers, which is what I bought the game for. Now adding mods would make this unplayable for players like me.

On PvP servers most players complain about the lack of PvP enthusiasm with this game, I think you guys should probably look into this.

Depends on the mods whether or not it needs to be downloaded.

Custom game modes (.lua files) and custom missions (.mis files) can be run entirely server side.

Patches are client side and designed to be optional.
You don't want to see someones waifu patch, don't download it.

Anything with other assets (e.g. new items, new maps) would have to be downloaded.

Idea is for it to be easy and/or automatic, if you so desire.
