RIM FORTRESS - A low-magic, fantasy modpack
![[SYR] Processor Framework (Continued)](https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/2492253534372940089/5B6E2B90293A17A6F0E74CDFA86933F8834B4F19/)
This modpack aims to be a ready-to-go, subscribe-to-all-and-play collection of quality mods that transform Rimworld in a fantasy game. For simplicity and personal taste, I haven't added mods like Rimworld of Magic or RimFantasy which would make the setting much more high-magic and fireballey. I'm a simple dwarf: I like big axes and beer and trust no sorcerer but if that's more your style please check them out because they are indeed awesome pieces of work.
RimPy is advised for auto-sorting mods and texture optimization.
I'm expecting some jank (and a few log errors) but hopefully nothing that a mug of dwarven ale won't make us forget when the game is on.
Will probably add and/or remove some mods the more I play with this modpack, looking for balance and personal enjoyment.
Inspired by Dwarf Fortress, Warhammer and countless hours spent in tabletop taverns.

Changelog:
1.3
- Removed "Rim-Gnoblins" by VexedTrees. Their chemfuel / shard dependency is not compatible with the low tech mods.
- Added "Goblins of the Rim" and "Orks of the Rim" by Bean
- Testing "Hospitality" by Orion
1.2
- Added "Divine Order" by BotchJob
- Added "Lightless Empyrean" by pphhyy (Undead Biome)
- Added some medieval ambient sound mods and room size QoL mods
- Added "Faster Smoothing" by Neceros / marceline, advised for Dwarven runs
1.1
- Removed "Vanilla Research Panel - Queue" by ComradeAlexey. Great QoL mod but very janky with the new research bench and trees.
- Swapping "Rim Elves" by VexedTrees for "Elves" (original by DevDesigner, continued by MisterM).
Still looking for the elves mod that fits the setting the best. "Elves of the Rim" by Bean looks great but I'd need a non-transhumanist faction for the medieval setting. "Lord of the Rims Elves" by Ryoma is only for 1.4... Bloody knife-ears...
- Added the abso-fucking-lutely essential mod " Show Hair With Hats or Hide All Hats" by cat2002 so now I can see my dorfs' majestic beards under all helmets.
- Added "Medieval Overhaul: Barbarians" by pphhyy for additional angry sweaty men in furs factions.
- Added "Grimstone : Beasts" by Abrolo for more fantasy beasts.
