Workshop map searches are valuable because every good custom map can create new hiding-spot demand. The page should route users to the official Steam Workshop surface, explain that user-created content is separate from official launch maps, and avoid hosting reuploads or mirrors. Modded-map videos can provide discovery signals, but they are not enough by themselves to publish exact spot claims.
A Workshop map should get a standalone guide only when it has a creator/source link, current-patch compatibility status, enough screenshots or tested notes, and at least a few concrete spot or route observations. Until then, this page should act as the hub: what to check, how to avoid unsafe downloads, and how custom maps connect to map pages, hiding spots, updates, and troubleshooting.
This page also protects the site from thin map stubs. New custom maps can be listed as monitoring candidates first. Promote one to a dedicated page only after the page can answer where to hide, how seekers should clear it, what patch it was checked on, and whether the Workshop item still works.
Workshop Map Publishing Checklist
Only create standalone custom-map pages when there is enough evidence to avoid a thin stub.
| Requirement | Why it matters | Publish action |
|---|---|---|
| Creator/source link | Proves the map exists | Link to Steam Workshop |
| Compatibility status | Patches can break maps | Show last checked date |
| Spot data | Makes the page useful | Add map-specific hider and seeker notes |
| Screenshots or tests | Prevents vague advice | Use official/user-visible references |
Safe Custom Map Rules
Keep every custom-map path inside the Steam ecosystem unless a trusted official source says otherwise.
- Do not mirror Workshop files or link unofficial executables.
- Label Workshop maps separately from official maps.
- Retest map pages after patches, especially if collision or lighting changes.
- Link stable custom-map hiding spots back to the main spot database.
