Workshop content no longer cached in ugc/referenced?

With version 57.3b came changes to the Workshop downloads.
It seems they are no longer cached in the Steam/userdata folder structure. Instead they seem to be downloaded directly into the Content folder.

Hence I cannot intercept and archive separately my Workshop subscriptions.

Anybody able to confirm and/or provide a solution as to archiving newly subscribed content?

I still find corrupted Workshop scenarios in the NameMyRoute listing.

Look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\241100

You should find a number of folders with 9 digit name. Look through those. Most of mine were empty but in one I found rout_a737dee5-8918-481a-b6ac-4f5b2c273efb.zip which is the Pascack Line that I had just subscribed to.

I also found 3 more routes that I have recently subscribed to. No sign of any scenarios though.

Thanks, I've let Windows Explorer search the Steam folder for daily changes and the location you mentioned came up.

Said folder on my install contains everything I subscribed to since July 23, both routes and scenarios. I suppose this is the new cache folder, though its location seems to indicate it is a more permanent storage.
I'll keep monitoring this folder to see if subscribed stuff eventually gets deleted when Railworks syncs the Workshop tab.
