In game mods installation

[gallanonim]

Hello,
i have game on gog,
installing mods for non-Steam users is painful and almost impossible.
Updating mods is no funny joke.

Why can't it be inside the game ?
For example, if I want to install mods in factorio, just start the game, go to the mods tab and select what I need.

No matter what launcher i have, where i buy the game. It just works.

Why can't it work the same here?

Installing mods isn't hard, there are a plethora of Steam Workshop downloaders. Issue is updating said mods, it would be nice to have an in-game updater at the very least.

So yeah, +1.

This one works sometimes http://steamworkshop.download
Every else downloaders do not work.

So no, it is't easy. About a year ago it was a nuisance but possible, now it is not.

I purchased originally Rimworld from the website, because I dislike Steam or any DRM. Now that's in GOG, where I have all my games, I'm planning to purchase it there too, and, to keep the modlist updated, I'm testing a tool named "Rimpy". Search for it, it may look for any mod which needs update for non-steam users

I use WorkshopDL, it works fine.

It is for windows and mac only, i'm debian user.

And still this is third party software dependent on steam.

Define dependent, it doesn't require a Steam log in. The mods have to be hosted somewhere, just happens to be Steam in this case.

I'm assuming Debian is a Linux based OS, I know there are ways to run Windows apps on them but I don't use any myself so I can't confirm. Good luck.
