How do I change my mod's thumbnail on the workshop?

[Cynical Nerdist]

I uploaded a mod recently and want to change the thumbnail everyone sees when scrolling through mods but I can't find an option for it. Uploading other images alongside what I already have doesn't change the main image.

And this is a mod, not a blueprint.

To update a thumbnail, you sadly have to reupload \ update the mod itself as its part of the mod's file set and stupidly isn't changable on the steam page.

That's... insanely dumb. I've already tried updating the mod's thumbnail in the actual files but it doesn't do anything. Well, thanks anyway.

You'll need to update the thumb.jpg file in the mod folder, which is under AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods\<YourModFolder>. As well, it has to be under 1 MB and a .JPG file. Then, proceed to publish the mod through the game again. It will ask you to update and overwrite the mod, confirm and once the update is published, your thumbnail should update.

I'll try this in a bit and get back with you, thanks!

Remember keep it under 1MB and not 1.01MB as even that will fail. I found out the hard way when publishing some mods before.

Engineer's suggestion worked. Thought I had already tried that earlier but I guess I didn't. Thumbnail is nice and tidy now c:
