66 Quality-of-Life Mods for Rimworld 1.6 (+ more!)
All tested for version 1.6!
Every mod until you hit "Food Poisoning Stack Fix (Continued)" is strictly QOL (meaning no balance changes or new content).
Beyond that, YMMV. All mods on this list play nicely with each other.
Based on this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/RimWorld/comments/1thun46/66_qol_mods_for_rimworld_16/
- Harmony -> Better Scroll Bars: Strictly-QOL mods.
- Food Poisoning Stack Fix (Continued) -> Better Stacktraces: Balance changes, a few minor content mods, a few more QOL mods.
- Show Known Techprints -> Gravship Biofuel Refinery Retexture: DLC-required mods.
