It appears (at least on my end) that HoF2 mods only update if you unsubscribe to them and then subscribe to them again before booting up the game. When I was testing my mod with a single encounter by publishing it, I didn't see any changes I had made (whether I was already in a challenge or not) until I went through this process.

Hi Dragenom, we recommend that users follow these steps after subscribing/resubscribing to any workshop items:

• Right click on 'Hand of Fate 2' from within your Steam Library.
  
• Select ‘Properties’.
  
• Select the tab ‘Local Files’.
  
• Click the button ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’. Doing this will force any available downloads to start.

Note: In some cases, depending on file size, steam may have downloaded your workshop subscriptions super fast and that's why we recommend the steps outlined above.

Also the easiest way to check if your workshop items have been updated is to navigate to the workshop items steam page, and within the description it will display an update date. Hope this helps!
