Beta 0.6.3.5
This patch adds a "workshop" tab to the structure load interface, where you should find any structures you have subscribed to via Steam Workshop. I've also added a thumbnail selection tool for specifying a thumbnail for structures you upload, as Steam only allows specifying this at the time of upload, not after. So no more adding a jpg of the same name to a folder or any of that. I built a small hard disk navigator so you can go find custom jpg or png files of less than 1Mb size (Steam limits) to upload as a preview/thumbnail image.
There is one small caveat to the "workshop" tab and downloaded Workshop content in general. The game cannot inherently know where Steam has downloaded the workshop files without talking to Steam at least once. That means that if you download the game, subscribe to some Workshop content, then log out of Steam and start the game up "offline" it won't know where to look for your Workshop files. I set it up to check for this directory, if you've downloaded any files, when the game starts, and save the folder that Steam informs it of, but wanted to make it clear that both Solace Crafting and Steam have to be turned on at the same time at least once for Workshop content to work. And of course you need to be connected to Steam to upload files to Workshop as well.
There was also a not easily reproduced bug reported that turned out to be caused by dying with bags while on a floating island. That and some general upgrades to the code involved are also in this patch.
