Creating and Updating Workshop Items

To create a new workshop item you need to create a new json file:

1. Create a new text file with a text editor, like Notepad or Notepad++, and add the following text to the file:

{
	"Title": "New Item",
	"Description": "My new item description",
	"ChangeNote": "Version 1.0",
	"PreviewFile": "C:\\ExampleFolder\\Preview.jpg", 
	"ContentPath": "C:\\ExampleFolder", 
	"PublishedFileId": 0,
        "Tags": 
	[
		"Example tag",
                "Another example tag"
	]
}

Title	The title of the item as it will appear on the workshop.
Description	The description of the item as it will appear on the workshop.
ChangeNote	The change log for this upload.
PreviewFile	The file path of the preview image. Preview images MUST be <1MB. File and folder paths must be absolute paths and slashes must be escaped (\\).
ContentPath	The path to the folder containing the item's content. File and folder paths must be absolute paths and slashes must be escaped (\\).
PublishedFileId	The item's unique id on the workshop. PublishedFileId should be set to 0 when uploading a new workshop item. The tool will update the PublishedFileId field with the item's new id after successful creation. To create a new item: PublishedFileId must be unset or 0. To update an existing item: PublishedFileId must be set to the existing item's id.
Tags	Tags used for organizing items on the workshop. Remove if unused. Some tags are mandatory for some items to be read by the game, ie: 'Maps' and 'Localization'. Please see the respective guides for more information.

Note! All text should be plain text with no special characters.

2. Save the text file with the .json file extension:

MyNewItem.json

3. Use the workshop tool to run the upload_item command, specifying the absolute path to your json file:

Workshop>upload_item “C:\MyNewItem.json”

Newly created items can take a few minutes to appear in the workshop. Don’t be surprised if it doesn’t show up immediately in the workshop.

Once you’ve verified your upload and are satisfied your workshop item is ready to be published, you will need to manually change the visibility:

Official Tags

In order for your content to be loaded correctly in-game please ensure you upload your items with the correct tag(s):

Localization

Maps

Using Workshop Items

To use a workshop item in-game just subscribe to the item on the Steam Workshop page. Steam will download any subscribed content before playing the game from the Steam Launcher, or you can manually download the content by verifying the game files in Steam.

Thanks for updating the link to the tool. But i have the felling that share custom islands dont work anymore cause the game says everytime that data is missing. if i uploade the map on workshop no errors but the map dont show up on the community task. if i copy the right map folder and do it manualy it says data is missing. even if i chose a prebuilded map and just set one tree it will say data is missing. And why do beamteam offer a support mail when you not answer ther.

Worked fine for me. To be fair, basic knowledge of coding helps, but is not ultimately necessary. I also used VirusX's tutorial on YouTube, found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8nbg_QU0LY&t=181s

[Boba Fetish]

There is no Stranded Deep Workshop page.

[Karloh Kornschuh]

I can't even access the stranded deep workshop page.
Anywhere I look is the workshop tab for the game just missing.
If I copy someone's url for a shared file I just get the error page screen for a non existing file.
If anybody got a fix for that I would be greateful I you could give me a hint on what im doing wrong... :(

Btw. Im in Germany where the workshop should be supported as far as i know.
