Non-DRM/without Steam download options?
Hello! Sorry this is long for a public discussion, but I found no other way to contact you privately through Steam so this is the next best thing.

I use a third party site to download mods straight from workshop for RimWorld since I don't own a Steam copy - for whatever reason, probably because this one's file was recently updated - I am unable to obtain this mod via my usual method..

Usually there are alternate download links provided by the authors in the descriptions - and of course, this being the one mod I'm crazy about (passion for music and Spotify) this one does not seem to have any alternative methods.

Many people browse Steam Workshop for new/updated mods even if they don't have a Steam copy of the games, just generally because Workshop seems to be the most updated for some games, especially if Steam hosts the most active/plentiful player-base.

People either look for the alternate links in the description (generally leading to GitHub) or use a workshop downloading service/site..

There are many non-Steam versions of this game available, so it's a lot more common of a use case that people will find your mod but be unable to acquire it off Workshop..


--
So.
I volunteer to upload/host the archive somewhere else if needed, I have a large Mega.nz cloud storage account that works perfect at making file download links, with enough bandwidth to go around too! If you are opposed to using Github because you are not open source, I have enough space to host the archive and provide enough download bandwidth since I rarely ever download from my Mega, so my bandwidth allotment just goes unused each month.

I'd also be willing to post it up on Ludeon forums on your behalf if that is something you'd need - say if you didn't have time to do it yourself. The forums are the next best place to get mods without Steam.
Nexus Mods is another option but that requires an account for people to download mods and it can pose problems for people in certain countries / and/or who are unable to make an account etc.

Either way, I am willing to host an alternative mirror link if you are needing it. I would just need a copy of the archive for myself..

Or please provide us your own mirror? (Pretty please with a cherry on-top?) I need this mod o_o?

Thank you for opening the discussion - I had completely forgotten to upload a non-Steam version even though I had it on my to-do list. I'm going to upload it to Github right now. It may take me a little while to push updates to the Github repo because I have to do it manually unlike Steam, but I'll try to set up a tool to do it automatically for me.

If you want to re-post it to forums or upload to your Mega account, feel free (please credit me :p).

Link will go into mod description and on to store page.
