A line for "Total Filesize" in Workshop collections?
Currently, running games or server with mods is a bit of a chore to calculate the total space usage of mods as you have to write down each one individually then add them all up.

Secondly, if I can be bluntly honest with the server owner perspective, a lot of people are stupid. I often have people screeching "this server has so many mods" because they see a long list and freak out, when in reality it's like... 40MB.

I think it would be beneficial for everyone to just have it plastered in workshop collections to show the total filespace usage of all the mods in a collection. It would probably fit best under the mod stats, e.g.:

69 Unique Visitors
7 Current Favorites
7 Total Unique Favorites
46.8 MB

Wholeheartedly agree, sick of people complaining of supposedly 'too many add-ons' for a a couple MB's worth of lua files and whatnot. :stress:

This would make life so much easier, not just for server owners but also for people in singleplayer wanting to try mods only to realize they have to wait like 3 hours just to download a huge one. Showing the filesize will be very helpful.

As a previous server owner, this would be an extremely beneficial tool. It would help players and server owners put into perspective exactly how much they are downloading. I've had server content that was 10 GB+ just because I wasn't paying attention to file sizes.

This would be an extremely beneficial tool that doesn't sound very hard to integrate.

I agree, this would be a very good change for players in general
