submeg's "must have" mods (Rimworld - Anomaly)

For v1.5 - Anomaly

Note: I will update as mods come online I created a thread on the RimWorld Discuit community, listing all the mods I believed a new player to the game should add to enhance their game experience. The aspects that I focused on were: - Increased the performance of RimWorld - Gameplay enhancements / QoL mods - Enhanced the visuals to make the game easier to play / understand I tried to avoid mods that changed how the overall game behaved (e.g. Prison Labor) or added new items to the game.
