Will Surviving Mars be using Steam Workshop for mods, and will that mean that some mods will be unavailable outside steam if I decide to buy the game from GoG or Paradox?

Same question, how will modding work for people who buy the game on stores other than Steam? GoG does advertise modding support on the page for the game, but if mods are distributed through the steam workshop, that could lock people out of many mods if they don't buy the game on steam.
it does use steem workshop
how ever there is usely a mod page on the pdx game for mods outside of steem workshop so i would think it will be there as well

I don't know about GoG, but when you buy from Paradox Store, as well as most of other sellers (greenmangaming, gamesplanet...) you get a steam key, as Magyar1988 already said, so you will have the same access to steam workshop as if you had bought the game in steam ;-)
GoG's specialty is no DRM. Steam is DRM, so GoG purchases don't come with steam keys because that would defeat the purpose.
Well, I didn't express myself well enough. As the initial topic was about modding availability regarding GoG and Steam workshops, I meant that I don't know about GoG modding section and/or access to other mod sources. And as MortenB mentioned also buying from Paradox, that's why I mentioned about Paradox (and other sellers) providing game keys for steam. Without DRM details, I know that GoG and Steam are completely two different ways of selling/managing games, and what you buy in one site, doesn't work on the other. Thanks for the clarification, though.
