How does one import Shared Designs from other players

[Stormsword]

I've seen a thread in which folders with a large amount of usable shared designs are posted, and would like to add them to my own game - while I'm in the process of adding a couple of designs of my own to my shared designs, being able to import from others would be very helpful in getting some variety in the shared designs-only playthrough I plan on doing. As far as I'm aware there's no Steam Workshop support for this yet, and I haven't a clue how to go about adding them otherwise as I'm very slightly tech-illiterate.

Help a starving history student out?

At least on windows, you can find the shared designs folder in your AppData folder. It's a hidden folder, but a google search will tell you how to make it visible.

Designs are located in (Assuming your user profile and appdata is on the C drive): 

C:\Users\%YOUR USER PROFILE\AppData\LocalLow\Game Labs\Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts\Designs

To add the designs to your game, you can post the design files into that folder. Unfortunately, it doesn't look for subfolders at the moment, so the ".design" files themselves have to be in this exact folder. It's a slight pain if you're making packs to share, I recommend taking note of the "date modified" when you paste in other people's designs, so that you can remove them and don't mix them up with your own. I'm hoping they let us have folders in there soon so that's not an issue.
