[2023] MERGED: no workshop?

They chose to wait on this until the game was closer to completion.

The modding part of the game has been changing drastically over the past two versions as well, so it's a really good thing they waited. Once they have that finished, the way mods integrate is going to be amazing. Right now it's a little questionable depending on what the mod changes.

Unlike Empyrion who now has 90% of the mods in the workshop broken because of changes that were made in a11. It's a perfect example of why adding workshop support too soon is a very bad idea.
You can't fix that.

It's a planned game feature that will be directly integrated into the client.

They don't want to add steam workshop until post release so that huge swathes of mods aren't forced into deprecation by changes to the underlying foundation of the game. Workshop support IS planned, but, it won't be til post release...Or late beta at the earliest.

Because the modding platform hasn't been finalized yet.

Steam workshop will be available once that has been done. Which will happen once the game is closer to being finished.

I don't recommend that for this title at all. Nexus is only good if it's the primary platform for the game. Like Skyrim.

For 7 Days, the official forum is the best place. That's where most mods originate from. Some authors may use the Nexus for file hosting, but actual mod information and support is on the forum.
