1: Introduction
Originally created for my Youtube series found here: https://youtu.be/NVEQbu4BIck however this is now just a Quality of Life and foundation for future mod packs!
This is a content-light but quality of life-heavy modpack, with very few mods that add additional content (A single VE: Weapons mod, animals added by Regrowth and biome changes, plus miscellaneous Bionics and apparel) to preserve and encouraging exploring and using the new Biotech systems to their fullest!
2: Necessary Files
Load Order (Base Game): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NgmFgWy5HeGOLvj-VThr3egYWUqNZweY/view?usp=sharing
Load Order (RimPy): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YpvR7R047Xi3jytGwJmWG83AwM0Bjaq-/view?usp=sharing
Optional Config files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cjDKARIdJz0kWecE3nwfAV7ndmRYOATU/view?usp=sharing
These configs are purely optional but make some balance and UI adjustments, I would highly recommend them as it enables mod interaction between mods in the pack, and defaults to a low-end graphics settings so all users can adjust to their own system from there.
3: Installation Guide
For any new complex mod pack you should FULLY reset Rimworld, and all related files, to ensure no old, outdated, or incompatible mods are left behind.
Reinstalling Rimworld or unsubscribing from mods WILL NOT fully reset your reinstallation and old files can still persist!
There olders that should be fully reset before beginning a new modpack:
Delete all files in the following folders:
Local Mods: Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods (Manually installed mods folder)
Steam Mods: Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100 (Steam mod download folder)
User data: AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios (Your user configurations, saves, etc)
Then open Rimworld, reapply your user settings (screen resolution, volume etc), ensure that no mods are still present in your game.
RimPy:
1. Follow the above steps to clean your installation
2. Subscribe to all with the button above
3. Open RimPy
4. Click on "Import List" and choose the load order file
4. Press "Sort"
4.1. Ignore any errors that might pop-up, press skip if an error box occurs here
5. Press "Save"
6. Press "Run"
Base Game/Non-RimPy Users:
PLEASE consider swapping to RimPy, it is a much more useful tool capable of auto-sorting your mods, cleaning up unneeded files, and optimising textures to save on memory usage!
1. Subscribe to the collection, and allow the download time to complete, might take a while to copy over!
2. Download the load order file from the above "Load Order (Base Game)" google drive link.
3. Go to the modlists folder, this will be something like "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\ModLists" folder.
You can do this by copying this into your windows folder bar: %appdata%/../LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld by Ludeon Studios/ModLists
4. Paste the .RML file from Google Drive into this folder (LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld by Ludeon Studios/ModLists)
5. Restart Rimworld ONCE the file has been copied
4: FAQ
Q: I have a "Mod mismatch" window trying to load the save game!
A: You can safely ignore it, occasionally I'll remove mods from the pack if they cause issues later down the line, update, or have some other unexpected conflict. I won't ever remove or alter anything save-game breaking.
Q: Is this a virus? (I get this a lot)
A: I 100% get the caution, but Youtube is my job, I have 160k+ subscribers, and if I tried to do anything even remotely malicious I would lose my ability to pay rent overnight. Obviously I wouldn't maliciously spread a virus amongst a Rimworld mod pack. You are more than welcome to ask amongst comment sections, my discord, or even here on steam if you're unsure. If you want to be extremely certain, I would highly recommend using the files with something such as https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload which will check the files amongst many masterlists provided by security companies.
Q: Why didn't you include X mod?
A: I only had a 48 hour window to create and test the modpack, and produce the accompanying video. But I'm always up for new suggestions.
