Where does the Workshop output go?

The Workshop tools output resource.AddWorkshop() calls. These go in a server-side autorun file. Create the file if it does not exist.

Lua autorun file

garrysmod/lua/autorun/server/workshop.lua

-- paste resource.AddWorkshop() lines here, one per addon
resource.AddWorkshop("2992590635")
resource.AddWorkshop("123456789")

The server loads every file in lua/autorun/server/ on startup and tells connecting clients to download those addons from Steam Workshop.
