    Hi, I'm trying to install a few steam workshop mods on a dedicated server, but I suspect that you knew that from the title. I've already found the files -- they're in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\211820" -- but do I need to change anything beyond copying the files? Where should I look for troubleshooting information?

    Thanks.

    We spent some time trying to figure this out the other night, what we did in the end was moved the mod files into the starbound/mods folder and rename the files because they are all named the same. Don't just copy them there but MOVE so cut, paste or you will get a assets mismatch

    I might consider doing this, but it's a very messy solution.

    I'd like to know from the devs if there's a solution in the works that will allow the server exe to access the Workshop-subscribed mods directly.

    One of the reasons that I use Steam Workshop for mods when I can is that it handles updates automatically. When we are talking about a game being played on multiple PCs in a server/client configuration that auto-update functionality is doubly useful.
