don't know if its been asked before, but whats the possibility of the above?

make loading mods so much easier

Its been asked before.   There is a reluctance to do something for the steam players that the KSP store puchasers would not have access to.  KSP is intended to be the same experience on all platforms.  

 

That being said, the console editions do have exclusive content on the form of achievements, but since they are required by the console companies, it is seen as being outside of the steam-ksp store-console parity concept.

Which is BS really.  Those achievements could be in the PC game, lots of games have their achievements internal to the game, and just duplicate the trigger to the client (such as Steam).  They could have those achievements unlockable from within the game's execution.  Even those people running the store copy could achieve them, they just wouldn't be documented anywhere other than inside the current game client.

 

Anyway, on topic.  Workshop support probably wouldn't be able to handle the kinds of mods we have here anyway.  I'm not 100% sure of that, but DLL based mods are likely not permitted.  That is just an educated guess.

I mean I use ckan at the moment anyway for most of them, just didn't know why they weren't on the steam workshop for ease,

thanks for the answers guys

As mentioned, for those who don't use the steam version, or have multiple installs, it would needlessly complicate the whole thing.   We have enough fracturing of the mod hosting community as it is, we don't need another.
