A proposal for the Forum!I think it is very important!

Please forgive my poor English and the translation from Google:
I am a Chinese player,in China is difficult landing Forum.
When I like some MOD, I would go often to pay attention MOD updates.And in most cases, the result I get is NO.
I want:Somewhere in the MOD published posts, add an information display, this information will tell us MOD is not updated, or the current version of the MOD. And I need to be able to view this information from some other place, for example, in my own scripts.
I have an idea:The version information is displayed in front of the post title, and then provided by the Office Functions or interface, let's call him, in order to achieve no open forum, will be able to know that concern MOD updated even automatically downloaded to the local.

Not really, at all. Not everyone will migrate to steam, and it would be short-sighted to rely on steam workshop for mod distribution and stuff when not all your players will be on steam.

I talk about Workshop from steam, i talk about factorio, only factorio...

A mod repository seems to be planned, and it shouldn't be on Steam afaik.
There have been some discussions about that already, for example here :
