For those that haven't delved into the modding scene just yet I suggest you mosey over to the Rimworld forums and go nuts, I must have about 20 installed at the moment and it adds a ton to the game.

Mods are being released and updated to alpha 5 every day!

Just thought I'd drop a few pics in from some of my recent forts. This is a fun game with much fun to be had and enjoyment, all the mods I am using can be found here. *Edit - You need to make a forums account to get some mods that are released as forums attachments.

register on the forums and go hog wild with mods


I'll save em the trouble.

Had a bit of spare time and want to encourage people to play this awesome game. Here's some of the best mods I've found so far for Alpha 5 and nice and bundled up for ya.

Just extract all the folders to your Rimworld/Mods folder, dont replace your original core or do, don't think it really matters. Then launch the game and activate/deactivate mods from the main menu under mods. Don't worry if it gives you some random errors, just force hide that poo poo and you're ready to go.

Link: Mods.Rar on Dropbox

Included Mods-

•AlphaMuffalo 1.2 - Adds Alpha Male versions of the cow like Muffala.

•AtomicPower - Adds the ability to build Atomic Reactors but they can cause radiation and damage themselves.

•BASE - >>IMPORTANT!!!<< Activate this mod first from the in game menu then restart the game and activate the rest all together.

•BASE MAPGENPAC ^Same as above.

•Embrasures - Awesome mod, gives you the option to build metal or stone embrasures you can shoot through.

•Glassworks - All kinds of pretty glass stuff.

•Jaxxa_Shields - Power hungry shields!.

•Lancer's Mods Bundle - Few things, Antelope type creatures, dustrats, sniper turrets, smaller turret explosions, carbon dioxide generator and tribal slaves and slavers.

•MachineGunNests - Manned machines nests, not that great.

•MechanicalDefense - Better turrets.

•Meteorite - Self Explanatory.

•Miscellaneous_w_MAI_-_HiRes - Pretty cool, adds the ability to build a AI's called MAI that have 200 health and won't have emotion problems, takes a while to research all the upgrades.

•ProjectArmoryEquiptmentRack - Makes all guns set to off on the equipment rack by default so you dont have to turn em all off manually (there's a shitton).

•Quarry - Lets you create Mineral nodes so you wont run out of metal/stone/silver/uranium etc. One of the best mods.

•Workplaces - Adds workplaces to pull apart and build guns, can't build anything really that good though.
•Workplaces_PA_Extension

•ZZComp - Some other thing?.
•ZZcompTrade - ^ See above.

While I'm at it :

Editing Rimworld-

Rimworld is also super easy to edit in notepad to be precisely how you want to play it. For example I've edited the negative mood value of seeing a corpse to 0 in my megafort as it's surrounded by the corpses of my enemies and I just dont have time in between assualts to clean it up, my dudes were going crazy.

One thing I recommend everyone does even without mods is go to RimWorld\Mods\Core\Defs\ThoughtDefs\Thoughts_PsychicDrone and set all the "baseMoodEffectvalues" to 0.

The creator of the game suggested this as the drones are brutal on colonist mental health.
