The new mod tool looks nothing like this and has no "All" option. Can you please show how to do this on the new mod tool?

[@torfley]

Can you do a tutorial for terrain asset mods? I feel like there aren't many people making those (39 terrain asset mods on the workshop)

[@Dr-Pixel]

I don't know how to make them, sorry.

[@AgentWest]

Would you mind making a how-to about uploading mods in general? I can't figure it out for things like textures, especially with the new mod tool.

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

yes, it’ll get your creations 5 more downloads!

[@monkedude]

Thanks i was wondering how to do this!

[@Dr-Pixel]

Glad I could help!

[@Yuzu-oh2uy]

I'm a bit confused and it's hard to explain to get the images of my work to appear in the Steam workshop. I'll try to figure it out and experiment.

[@Yuzu-oh2uy]

I want you to teach me about scrap mechanic mod tool. I was quite confused when I came across it.

[@SimonSireWasTaken]

I'm legit tearing my hair out with this. I can't seem to do this. With the new mod tool there's no "all" button so I can't change the preview and upload it. Why does it have to be this hard :(

[@loneside4912]

Just to answer this for anyone else with this problem, and yes I'm also looking for new methods of doing this, but It does not work in the new mod tool. For the preview image to show, you just have to put it into the blueprint's folder, but no matter what you do (even changing the code manually) the mod tool will continue to upload it as a block and parts type instead of a blueprint type.

[@kirbyfunkopop1710]

I’m mostly trying to find out how to do this with my people playground items. Do you happen to know how could make preview images for my items in people playground?

[@viniciusgoose2985]

Have you figured it out? I've seen many recent builds on the workshop with custom thumbnails, so there must be a way.

now that is extremely sus...

[@rulun0013]

Can I shange a thumbnail of an item that I have already uploaded?

[@Dr-Pixel]

Yes, with the new mod tool

[@V13STOP]

Why can't you just replace the icon.png with the image you want and rename it ?

[@Dr-Pixel]

icon.png is for the little preview you see in your lift when you scroll through your blueprints

[@V13STOP]

Well isn't the workshop thumbnail using that picture?

[@Dr-Pixel]

@@V13STOP No. The resolution of icon.png is very low. I don't know where it gets the picture from.

[@kittyn5222]

Can you tell me how to do it for yt vids

[@Dr-Pixel]

No, but you can just search for a video. I'm sure there's dozens out there.

[@chrissametrinequartz9389]
