Steam Workshop support

I think that starmade needs Workshop intergration. It would just make it so much easier for server connection with friends, uplinking not needed*, downloading worlds and ships/stations...


YOU NEED STEAM WORKSHOP

*The uplink system may be broken from my expieriences

Would be nice, but if I remember correctly there was an issue with steam and java that was preventing it.

Steam Workshop would have to be something that works together with the registry, rather than instead of it, since a large amount of players don't use Steam at all.

NO

the idea is not to split up the player base. the new launcher should be able to bring every starmade player closer together i think

I wouldn't mind Workshop being set up to accept peoples' blueprints and such, like Gmod does, but that's a totally different coding issue. But yeah, making peoples' accounts go through the Steam workshop is a tad excessive, since it discounts non-Steam-users.

Valve didn't release a java API for steam, meaning there is no way for StarMade to interact with steam(the only thing steam can actually do is start the JVM, nothing more)
