Workshop Collections for PropHunt

Recommended Workshop Collections

Here are some popular PropHunt workshop collections you can use:

How to Use Workshop Collections

Go to Steam Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/app/4000/workshop/
Create a new collection or find an existing PropHunt collection
Copy the collection ID from the URL (the number at the end)
Set the WORKSHOP_COLLECTION environment variable or add to server.cfg:
```
host_workshop_collection "YOUR_COLLECTION_ID"
```

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Collection vs Addon IDs

The WORKSHOP_COLLECTION setting MUST be a Collection ID, NOT an individual addon ID!

To verify your ID is correct:

Go to: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=YOUR_ID
Look at the page - it should say "Collection" at the top
If it says "Addon" or shows a single item, it's NOT a collection!

If you use an addon ID instead of a collection ID, you'll see this error:

Processing collection XXXXX...
   Item is not a collection!
   Collection 'Name' (0 items)
   Reported 0 items, skipping

Fix: Create your own collection containing the addons you want, or find an existing PropHunt collection.
