Steam Workshop or ModDB?

[Robloblawblogs]

Are the mods in workshop the same ones in the DB workshop? Meaning the same, latest patched and version? Also are there some mods that are entirely unavailable on the workshop?

Some are, some aren't, you have to check the updated date on the mod and the changelog If it has one.

No. Mant major mods only release major changes on the workshop, and keep nightly patches and such on ModDB and Nexus.

Yes. Of my favorite mods, maybe half are not on the workshop (for example, Phantasy 2018) Of the others, many do not have the latest version (for example, The Last Days)

By the way, here is something I often post on the subject of Workshop:


There are many Warband mods in active development - The Last Days, Phantasy 2018, Perisno, and many more are getting updates quite often.

There are a few reasons for Steam Workshop being a red headed step-child:
- until quite recently there were stringent limits of size. For all I know, there still are.
- uploads aren't trivial for those with consumer grade PCs/ISPs, and mods go down meanwhile
- automatic updating is hell on compatibility and can ruin a long running game

So basically, active modders stay off Steam, and only update for major releases. Once you know you will not be updating for months, Workshop is convenient for those users who do not want to bother with manual installations and updates.

But I, personally, will never use Workshop, because of forced updates, upload downtimes, devteam spats, etc. I do not want my game to be at the mercy of things beyond my control.

Tuidjy i see what you mean, thank you for the informative reply. I'll defintely gets mods that arent the found or aren't the right verzion off steam.
Although the ease of use with the subscriptions are preferabble and some mods are a good enough on the workshop taht warrant a download, but if i can find it off the workshop in a better verzion i will.
