Click the Search & Tags Button in the Browse section of the Workshop.
Yes it's the only way.
- Keep Frontier workshop for the cross-platform functionality.
- Add Steam workshop (extra) for PC players to make the game actually successful and give the console players even better creations because right now the PC or steam community of this game just seems dead, if they add steam workshop, then the OG's and real creative people will come back to the game and people would be motivated to invest more time in this game. It just has to happen.
Agreed (with myself)
It doesn't filter by specific flat ride. You have to search for what it's called but sometimes people make typos in the name, or call multiple things by a similar name, so a text search isn't good enough. We need a tickbox specifically to include blueprints for a certain ride.
I agree, the Workshop is pretty bad. The search function is awful. I typed in the exact name of a blueprint and it didn't even come up in the search. Items that had absolutely no resemblance to the item or even the words I typed came up.
Also...
What is the purpose of the search field on this screen? I typed the name of a creator I was searching for, and nothing came up. In fact, I don't think it's functional at all. Maybe it's still a work in progress.
Also...
thats because it literally uses every single word you type and looks for that in every aspect of the item, may it be title, description, tags whatever.
ive already said this once here on the forums, people can do the test themself. search for "the smiler" on frontier workshop and then on steam workshop. steam gives you 10 pages of items directly related to that ride. meanwhile frontier workshop doesnt have a single item related to that ride in its 10 first pages...
the frontier workshop in its current state is so bad and tbh i highly doubt we will see any significant changes, and if they happen id guess probably only in 2-3 years time when theres dlc out and they want to draw people back in with "workshop 2.0" or something like that
Its been 9 months now and zero changes to the workshop apart from adding the creators tab… infact its gotten even worse over the past few months. Constant connection issues, ui bugging out regularly, search function still feels like an early google search engine alpha stage, still the same users abusing the update blueprint tool…
Content cant fix this either dear frontier.

We can only hope for Steam Workshop added also
