Rimworld Plus
I'm a big fan of Rimworld and its fervent modding community. I created this list to highlight mods I use, and that others interested in a Vanilla+ style playthrough might also enjoy.
It includes many new features such as Chemfuel, Heating, and Recycling. Therefore, I suggest reading the respective mod pages to get an idea of how they work before playing.
Some mods included in this list are not currently updated for 1.6. They have been included because I find them essential and will be updated eventually. Either disable or check compatibility before playing.
Changelog

- Added Vanilla Plants Expanded - Flowers for the botanists in your colony.

- Added Floors Are Almost Worthless and ReBuild: Doors and Corners that fixes a vanilla oversight and adds more architecture and furniture to decorate your colony with!
v0.1
- Initial list collated. Included is everything I currently play with. I will expand the changelog when I modify this list.
- Included some mods from my previous modlist (HugsLib, Allow Tool, and Increased Stack), unofficially updated for 1.6. I will replace these with their original counterparts once they're officially updated.
- Also included Harmony (because I forgot it the first time).
