Love the script been using it for a while now I was wondering if there is a work around for
steam_cmd_params += " +quit"
because with how steam changed it to that you have to own the game to download workshop items for the script to work normally having to disable 2factor is a bit of a pain every time you want to update the modpack for the server
I tried to think of a workaround but probably sleeping during my python lectures wasn't the brightest idea ^^
