Publishing your mod

Uploading your code to GitHub

It is highly recommended to upload your code to GitHub so other developers can contribute bugfixes and anyone can easily make sure it doesn’t contain anything malicious. If you used GitHub Desktop to set up the mod template, this process is incredibly simple.

First, create a commit. Your changes will show up in the GitHub Desktop app. Click the “Commit” button to create the commit.

Now you need to push the commit to GitHub, which the app will prompt you to do.

Your changes will now appear on your GitHub repository.

Uploading your mod to the Steam Workshop

To upload your mod to the Steam Workshop, go into your mods options menu, and click the “Upload Mod” button to open the Workshop uploader menu.

Note

This button only appears if you are the owner of the Workshop item, or the mod is in your local Mods folder. If you are a contributor or the button doesn’t appear, you can always press the U key to open the uploader menu, however you may encounter permission errors when uploading.

For the initial upload, you will be prompted to create a Steam Workshop item.

After the item has been created, a workshop.txt file will be created in the mods folder. Be sure to copy this to your source folder!

To upload the files, simply click the Upload button.

To finish publishing your mod, set the visibility to “Public” on the Workshop.

Adding tags

Workshop tags let people easily find out what your mod is for. You can specify the tags in the uploader menu by clicking the “Select Tags” button. You can enable tags by clicking the buttons. You can choose as many tags as you want, but please only select the tags which apply to your mod. Below you can find a table explaining when a tag should be used.

Tag	Use if..
Cards	Your mod adds new cards to the game
Gameplay	Your mod adds new gameplay features or modifies existing ones
Language	Your mod adds support for a new language, or provides translations for other mods
Quality of Life	Your mod includes Quality of Life features
Content	Your mod adds new content to the game
Development	Your mod provides features that help other mod developers

Adding a thumbnail

If you want your Workshop item to have a thumbnail, simply put an image called icon.png in your mods folder. There are no requirements for the resolution, but 512x512 is recommended.
