This was a big help! I've been playing the game for years and have been wanting to start my own builds to upload. Thanks for uploading this one!

[@giorsoiusorin7934]

Loved the cat in the background. 6:13

[@andreasf3591]

Nice one, mate! Had dug me through this long time ago and forgotten. Also great point with browser image upload!

[@Julesmcm]

Thanks Spanj, Love your work. Exactly what I needed.

[@MrSchnabelente]

Thanks for the Video! Didn't know the Web interface allows to upload multiple pictures at once, that will be a timesaver. The resource costs are also displayed in the stat screen, so I would consider the screenshot of the library somewhat optional. Even though it will show more entries than the stat page.

[@full8497]

Also if you make changes be sure to replace the images with the stats/resources.

[@Spanj]

good point!

[@justcallmedots8339]

super cool and works for other games like space engineers too. love this video.

[@Jay_Dee420]

Nice.. good solid information especially with opening Steam within a browser. Something i never would of even considered would be more efficient 👍

[@dracconis69]

Spanj WHEN/IF you need to update and not loose the thumbnail, just cut it out of the primary folder first, move it up 1 folder, go back to game to Update/Save, go back and grab thumbnail and replace new, go back to game and publish.

[@RichardRitenour0522]

Great info Spanj, thanks!

[@IceDragonASLT]

[@redcheeks3262]

[@ro-mon_gerrs_u-tube1944]

Awesome Sauce!

[@MRJakeyBro]

how do you change the image after its been uploaded?

[@guypierce7833]

i have a build that i uploaded and the screenshot is blank. at first i thought the picture was too big, so i made one in the thumbnail size. it worked, but it didn't replace the empty cover shit. how do i fix that? if you want to see what i'm talking about see "longshot m-1" on the workshop.

[@Spanj]

You will need to press the update button in game to change the screenshot on steam. If the Update doesnt appear, re-save the blueprint, replace the thumbnail again then press update, it should go through

[@guypierce7833]

@@Spanj thanks

[@Palexite]

Thank you for once actually showing the dimensions the workshop thumbnails need to be. Too many people make tutorials using ingame screenshots and not editing them in anyway, completely obscuring the necessary dimensions to upload the addon thumbnail..

[@greasyweesie36]

how can i do this for garrys mod

[@trell1011]

I can't get my thumbnail to take

[@TS-STORM]

I tried to get more photos up but couldn't work out how LOL thanks for the info

[@tomasedson2111]

What I don't understand is the 1324 views to date and only 180 likes???? It was a perfect class. Congratulations and all the best my friend.

[@contemplatico]

Very solid guide. Informative and to the point. Nice and clear 👍

[@M00_be-r]

Thanks sir very helpfull!

[@babaal78]

Big Thanks, very usefull info. I suggest to make a thumbnail image the same size of the default one before replacing it, it's JPEG 800x450 px

[@Rakoona]

In case I didn't catch it, make sure your JPG is below 1MB because it might cause errors when publishing your ship from Empyrion!

[@sanguineshade9545]

Thanks for taken the time Spanj. Well done. But... im lazy lol
