Nimblenoggin has SOMA

I can't seem to update my workshop mod.

There's WorkshopModUploader.exe, but from using it again, it said UID is in use.

And when I remove the UID, and upload the mod with WorkshopModUploader.exe two times, they are two seperate mods!

I've seen other mods that update past their creation, is there something to do this? Am I missing something? Is this all a bug?

Not enough documentation.

Sorry for such a late reply, but maybe someone still needs help with this issue.
The SOMA WorkshopModUploader is bugged and doesn't update mods correctly as you noticed.
Instead you'll need to use SteamCMD and upload the new version to steam yourself.

Download SteamCMD, following the instructions here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Downloading_SteamCMD

Here is the documentation for uploading/updating workshop items if you're interested: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/workshop/implementation#SteamCmd

How to update your mod:
1. Create a text file with a name such as 'SomaWorkshopUpdate.vdf'
2. Put the following in the text file. Fill in the placeholders with your mod's ID, path, and changelog. You can also edit the changelog after updating the mod from the workshop page.

"workshopitem" { "appid" "282140" //SOMA app id "publishedfileid" "<put id here>" //mod ID (the ID in the .swd file) "contentfolder" "C:\Steam\steamapps\common\SOMA\mods\<your mod>" //path to mod "changenote" "Version 1.2" }

3. Copy this file to the steamcmd folder.
4. Run steamcmd.exe and enter 'login <steam username>'.
5. Enter your password and Steam Guard when prompted.
6. Enter 'workshop_build_item SomaWorkshopUpdate.vdf'.
