Hey everyone,



The uses of this new feature are primarily for:

• Publishing new language assets for the recently added localization support; and
  
• Publishing your own maps for other users to subscribe to and download.

To upload a new item to the Workshop you can use the Stranded Deep Workshop Tool. Details on where to download and how to use it can be found in our guide here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1869733832
We’ve also published a guide to authoring new localization and map assets here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1906751966 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1906762159
Please note that subscribing to an excessive amount of maps will bog down the Cartographer. We’re looking into ways to optimize this.

Have fun! :)
