I haven't played this in 2 years, I want to get back into it but I don't want to spend 5 hours curating hundreds of mods
Is there a good ready-to-go modpack for a Vanilla+ experience?
Also are there any good total conversion mods? Like transforming the game into a different setting or something

>>713152029 (OP)
Vanilla expanded is supposed to be a vanilla+ but I never cared for it. Medieval overhaul has been all the rage as a sort of total conversion. Oh and there's that outdated mars total conversion I forgot the name off. There's also rimjobwoeld where you suck and fuck.

You should probably just wait for the new dlc to come out.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3187121098

However 1.6 is out in beta now and the new dlc Odyssey is out in 3 weeks.

>>713152029 (OP)
Wait for 1.6 (3 weeks) and get (pirate) the new Odyssey DLC. It's a lot of mods folded incorporated into vanilla.

>>713152736

>Tried to play 1.6 on steam

>>713152972
rimworld is a relatively light install, just put it on a different partition if you want to keep two different versions
you can get a stack of chinesium ssd's for like $30 and have fifty different versions of rimworld across them

>>713152029 (OP)
Clearly the entire Vanilla Expanded list was made for you. Just install that and it's all you'll ever need.

>>713152809
You're really brave and gay for saying that.
Brave because now everyone thinks you're gay, not for doing what you do but for thinking it's a bragging point and not just the cattle brand of a consoomer stooge.

>, I want to get back into it but I don't want to spend 5 hours curating hundreds of mods
you probably don't want someone to argue your logic but the 5 hour process is completely worth it since it leads to a personally-curated 400+ hour run if you satisfy yourself correctly

you put up with enough prefab bullshit in your life already, take a little time to cater to yourself

oskarbloat has lost sight of the base game. It is "vanilla" in name only. Plus I don't like him strong-arming certain content exclusively into his little ecosystem.

Hardcore SK.

>>713157134
>strong-arming certain content exclusively into his little ecosystem
Quick rundown?

>>713156989
All you really need is someone with strong social, someone with strong intelligence, and someone with strong plants. It'd be good to have some good combat skills between them too, but everything else is basically just a bonus.
You can cross your fingers that you'll find everything else as you go.

>>713156989
>>713157040
My issue is that I always create pawns with decent specialisation and interested passion (I give them low stats to compensate), but I barely recruit anyone because their skills are all over the place

>>713158216
I basically just provoke savage primitives because their raids are larger, disable as many as possible, then sift through them like sand. Useless prisoners get sold as slaves, useful ones get recruited.

>>713158216
you know they can gain skills, right?

>>713158216
I recruit literally every pawn I can, until I have a crew of about 10 or so. Then I might just harvest their organs, use them for rituals, or use them as a vampire bloodbank.

>>713158745
This. Just get them grinding on a job and they'll be worth something basically no matter what. Though there are some really garbage fucking traits out there.

>>713159241
Absolutely, traits are by far the bigger dealbreaker. This guy is probably passing on great pawns just because they have low skills.

I've done nothing for the past 3 days but play Rimworld (and browse /v/). I'm trying to reach the archotech map ending so I can say I've reached every conclusion before the new expansion drops. This is taking forever and it's absorbing my days.

Now the only thing driving me forward is the thought of which mods I'll drop, and which new ones I'll try. And of course, the dread of 1.6 breaking the good ones.

>>713152227

>Warhammer 40K is all about scale
A typical Warhammer 40K game probably has less than 100 soldiers in it

>>713159862
It really varies from mod to mod. Many of the early VE mods were a mess with tacked on features that have little to do with the aspect of vanilla that is being expanded. For example, the first Insectoids expansion added plasma weapons, for some reason, but the new one is just fine. And the Mechanoid expansion still adds non-Biotech robots and factory buildings. The new Medieval expansion adds fucking potion making, but I just wanted castles and vikings! When people say "bloat", this is what they mean. Another example of bloat are items and buildings that serve little to no purpose, like gloves and boots from Vanilla Armour Expanded. I would also add Vanilla Cooking Expanded to this list because I don't see anyone using even half of the new cooking features, it's just too much (pic related). And an example of a good, not bloated mod would be Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded. It's genuinely my favorite VE mod because it does exactly what the name says and it does it well. I love pumping slop through my base walls.

>>713159862
cause theres a lot of reasons and its been years. for me the biggest is that he muscled out other mods by copying half of what they do but worse and bundling it into unrelated stuff so it causes incompatibility.

>>713152029 (OP)
remember when these vomitous graphics were supposed to be a placeholder? hehe

>>713160717
But many textures from that image have, in fact, been replaced.

Ogrestack and character editor is all i need

>>713160792
>character editor
I suggest you move to Pawn Editor instead of continuing to use that piece of shit.

I recently got rimworld due to family sharing on steam, is it worth playing? I get it's a time vampire of sorts but idk much about it other than it seems drawf fortress inspired and is overwhelming positive.

>>713159862
VE is just slop, at best it adds cheatshit that allows you to stack more mood buffs together or expensive furniture to make rooms better... And at worst you get shit like the deserters which doesn't even work, the last quest literally has broken scripting so you can't finish it and to get to that point you need ungodly amounts of intel, a special resource that's impossibly hard to get without blowing yourself up. VE deserters was designed not to be finished

>>713161183
It's a fun colony sim with multiple layers of pawn management. It's not perfect, and the random mission system is actually very lackluster. I like it but you will need mods to prop up the lacking dimensions of it. Thankfully there's no shortage of those.

so should i get vanilla expanded mods?

>>713162578
No.

>>713159862
Filesize bloat and severe performance degradation. Most of the VE mods have a well defined scope, but because Oskar is completely psychotic, every single one goes well beyonds its scope adding unrelated shit that should be their own mod. Of the more comprehensive mods, the ideas in them are decent, but execution is usually jank.

There are a whole bunch of other issues, like VEF being hamfisted as a requirement for other mods that could well do without it, general mod consolidation shittery and even the effect Oskar has had on the design philosophy of actual vanilla Rimworld. If you want to know more, you could lurk /rwg/ for just one week and come out the other side with a more comprehensive idea of why the mod series is terrible.

Also it advertises itself as being balanced for vanilla when it's actually way off the mark.

>>713163108
none?

>>713161183
I know it’s kind of played out to suggest YT slop but watch a couple of quill18 videos on Rimworld. He did a recent series playing only vanilla. He’s a good player and explains things as he goes along so check it out and see if it’s for you.

It’s basically a simplified version of DF but with still enough depth to keep you engaged if you like colony builder sims. The modding scene is also vast but you don’t really need it.

>>713163712
>but you don’t really need it
Performance and QOL mods are a must.

>>713157208
NTA, but he's probably thinking about Oskar's tendency to absorb mods into his megabloat ones while also killing the standalone version. An example that comes to mind mainly since I used the mod in question is the Proxy Heat mod getting absorbed by Temperature Expanded and forcing you to either use TE for just that one feature, even if you either already have a central heating mod like DBH or DCH, or would prefer to just use regular heaters and not deal with the extra bloat, or to switch to a similar mod like Celsius which is a well known TPS killer.

>>713152029 (OP)
I play mostly vanilla, with RJW, CE and QoL on top.
QoL mods I have right now
>Camera+
>Replace Stuff
>QualityBuilder
>PickUpAndHaul

>>713164736
As an artist, Oskar has to justify his position as project lead by forcing mods to add in shit for him to do art for, otherwise people are gonna wonder why they even keep him around.

>>713164838
>to justify his position as project lead
The only reason he has to justify his position is because he's a insufferable hack that steals as much as his buttbuddy Tuna. That and his art is shit.

>>713164767
>Replace Stuff
Worth mentioning this will be obsolete come 1.6, since it will be a base-game feature.

>>713156989
You need to embrace the creator's autistic vision for the game being a story simulator.

Stats don't matter. Perfection doesn't matter. Losing is part of the story.

>>713165509
Better late than never.

>>713162578
The vanilla expanded mods are over hated on this board.

You really can't outsource your thinking to /v/ on this one since we aren't you. But there are like 100+ VE mods and not all of them are slop. I personally roll with a lot of the simpler mods such as Vanilla Animals Expanded or Vanilla Ideology expanded, but I avoid the ones that tend to add factions or go above the vanilla mechanics like trading.

>>713165881
>I personally roll with a lot of the simpler mods such as Vanilla Animals Expanded or Vanilla Ideology expanded, but I avoid the ones that tend to add factions or go above the vanilla mechanics like trading.
Well this is what I'm asking, which ones are worth installing? I'm looking just for things that fit the vanilla vibe without massively changing mechanics or adding radically different stuff

>>713164767
>>Camera+
>>RimHud
RimHud and Camera+ are a performance hog, get SimpleCameraSetting.

>>713165509
https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1372003680/528723510405631353/
They just added the blueprints over walls which just deconstructs the old ones and then builds new ones, they barely touched the core of Replace Stuff, also no vanilla over-wall coolers.

>>713165881
I believe that the all in/all out positions people take is in large part because the actual VE Framework that all of them required caused a significant TPS reduction, at least at one point in time. Nothing nearly as bad as some of their faction mods, though.

>>713166000
I didn't realize how powerful Replace Stuff was. I guess I'll be rolling with that on my next playthrough.

>>713152029 (OP)
>5 hours
I took around a fortnight to fill my modlist when I started playing again recently.

>>713166527
The way it should be.
People who go 'JUST GIVE ME A MOD LIST' are asking for trouble. It's the modder's responsibility to understand how each mod impacts their game AND other mods, while observing the technical performance as well.

It's also an insane question when they can just go on Steam and look at the 1000+ curated mod lists.

Ok so which VE mods are worth getting? I was checking them out and the Plants, Animals, Weapons, Armour, Apparel and Traits ones look fine

Mods I think are neat:
Dinosauria
Basic Double Doors
Briann's missiles (they're OP but eventually you're probably sick enough of raids to just nuke one from orbit)
Doormats
Dryads & Gauranlan Reworked (also OP but dryads fucking SUCK and aren't worth even using in the base game)
Geological Landforms
Hunt For Me
Just Put it Over There
Roads of the Rim
Schedule Clock
Search and Destroy

Also, if you're a coomer you can add:
Fluff's curvaceous mechs
Fluff's Insectoids
Humanoid Dryads

Better than any of that shit added by rjw.

>>713167150
Anyone?

>>713155075
>Warhammer 40K is all about scale
Yes, but is not like is the only theme, and also is not like it exists to some degree in Rimworld when you consider how AIs fit in, even if you consider from a mere narrative perspective you still get to manage what are literal pawns in a much bigger world that once was a thriving futuristic mega city, feeding off its leftovers and suffering its sins.

40k does fit, maybe not completely sure, you won't be building multigenerational cathedral ships, or managing hive cities in size or several planets, but there is still space for 40k themes and things.

>>713159862
Its not vanilla, its not balanced, its not expanded its often bloated, it doesn't actually work together, a lot of it is insanely stupid, its pretty much filesized bloated to all fucking shit, its just incoherent, the style doesn't stick, the features are creeped, its not actually all that.

>>713167150
i like the base brewing one and the fishing one with the treasure addon
ve tends to get to complicated beyond those

also not VE but tilled soil is a must

is there any good turret mods? a look on the work shop makes alot of them seem overcomplicated and base turrets kinda blow.

>>713167387
i see mechs on the workshop and nexus but dont see fluffs insectoids anywhere. where did you get it

>>713169154
It's only posted on Loverslab forums. And even though it isn't updated as 1.5 compatible, it will work if you ignore the error.
It's definitely not as good as his Mechanoid mod, it just makes the bugs stand upright a little more and have cute eyelashes.

>>713169345

>>713169889

so what QoL mods is 1.6 going to make redundant?

>>713170408
Apparently not "Replace Stuff" since Tynan's is way more basic.
Geological Landforms kind of, since terrain gen sounds a lot more advanced now. It will probably need to be updated by the mod maker at the very least.

>>713170408
Apparently there's flooding now, that used to be a mod I know.

>>713157134
The DLCs themselves are bloat, most RW players probably don't give a fuck anymore.

>>713169889
The more egregious mod on that list is CE, a mod that completely ruins the core RW
experience with a combat system that the game wasn't designed to handle.

>>713165562
RimWorld is not a story generator. It's an excellent fusion of tower defence and colony-building.
People love to treat the game like an RPG, when the game is terrible for that due to the lack of fluff and a shallow dialogue system.
You can have wacky Youtube titles like "ORGAN HARVESTING SIMULATOR + DRUG EMPIRE = GONE WRONG!!11", which I guess is a story, in the way that a journalist's article is a story. What it lacks is immersion.

>>713172047
>The more egregious mod on that list is CE, a mod that completely ruins the core RW

I tried it and I liked it. Also, that's the whole point of mods, anon. Adding things that weren't there, or changing what's already there.

OP I would have uploaded a curated modlist that you could just download and play the whole game, dlc, and about 114 all up to date mods that fit well with Vanilla. Unfortunately I found the thread too late and its just /vg/ cess.

>>713172047
>CE, a mod that completely ruins the core RW
It is an objective improvement over vanilla's combat system, and I fully expect Tynan to integrate that one into the base game eventually as well.

>>713172887
>and I fully expect Tynan to integrate that one into the base game eventually as well.
That will never happen, considering how absurdly unbalanced the mod is.

>>713172960
And vanilla is somehow balanced?

>>713172960
Describe how without seething about your pawns getting shot and killed.

>>713173132
That would be the opinion of anyone who has beaten the game more than once on vanilla on a high difficulty.

>>713159862
It depends on the mod.
Some are pretty good like Vanilla Races Expanded Pigskin. Just a lore accurate upgrade on Pigskins fleshing them out with one other race. Nothing else.
Others are nonsensically bloated like Pirates. Why does the Pirates mod have space marine power armor? Why are these not two separate mods? The Warcaskets are all anyone cares about so if you want them you're dealing with unnecessary shit.

>>713172047
>The DLCs themselves are bloat, most RW players probably don't give a fuck anymore.

We haven't gotten a major DLC change until biotech.

Royalty: very little content adds better combat for the player and a good psycaster destroys late game difficulty.
Ideology: again adds little, but more than royalty and gives literal easy mode with recruit spamming rituals or ideology that removes all difficulty of management.
Biotech: The first major content DLC adding new ways to play as well making mechs a bigger threat than they already were. Overall the new gold standard of DLC going forward.
Anomaly: What is essentially a scenario sold as a DLC. You either play the scenario or play rimworld. The most skippable DLC that you wont notice it gone once you stop playing it.
Odyssey: Not out yet but is SoS2 but probably more streamlined. It finally adds something rimworld has been lacking which is proper a late game.

vanilla+ is pure bloat on its own level, but it at least it modular and you pick and choose what you want then there is the cherry picking mod.

>>713172517

CEtrannies are scum and not worth arguing with.

>>713173194
Don't get me wrong, it's mostly the other way around.
When you get pistols, you have solved tribal raids and manhunting animals.
When you get power armor, you have solved pirate raids.
Centipedes are always extremely difficult to take out (at least last I played), but there used to be an ammunition type for a charge rifle that melted them like butter, making even the most powerful enemy in the game a piece of cake to handle.

I believe the mod also did some bullshit shenanigans like disabling normal on-foot raids after you reach a certain wealth level, because even the mod designer knew how piss-easy the mod gets after the player establishes themselves.

>finally finished my nerve staple mod
>just need to do some testing
feels good bros

>>713173907
Fair, but honestly foot raids just need to start throwing cyborgs with high shooting skill levels at you, because at the point where it stops being a problem, you're usually running at least one ubermensch designed to solo threats instead of normal guys.

>>713173940
I've been meaning to get into modding myself, too. I'm really disappointed with xenotype mod variety. Bet I could make a couple that feel more natural.

>>713173940

>>713165509
it wont be, tynan's addition is complete ass in comparison to the mod.

>>713173652
All mods add bloat,
>Royalty
Adds a bunch of new power armor variations that have no practical purpose.
Adds structures and furniture that only matter for royalty runs, having no other purpose other than the main quest line.
Adds a fancy, out of place tree that you don't interact with in 90% of your games but grows in every colony you have and gives you a scream debuff when you don't wall it in to prevent it from accidentally dying.
>Ideology
Least bloated of them all, mostly because it's a glorified game rule menu.
However, having to deal with other ideologies feels a bit bloaty, because you just don't care what ideology they have, you want them to convert ASAP and don't treat them any different usually.
>Biotech
Children are the pinnacle of bloat. They are a complete mismatch with the game's pacing; they are only useful if you're intentionally stalling for whatever reason.
>Anomaly
The definition of bloat is something that you can perfectly live without and otherwise just annoys you .
>Odyssey
Adds an aimless "roleplay" goal that misses the core gameplay loop of the game.

>>713174507
modding rimworld is pretty easy hell just taking the base files you can add a lot of custom stuff you want. the hard part is adding mechanics or new items. I can't into art, but rimworld is a pretty good game to learn basic coding.

entire dlc is just mods, and if they are implemented as well as in the patch i dont have high hopes.

>>713175061
>Children are the pinnacle of bloat.
Disagree. Popping out new colonists from scratch, but they start by being a complete liability before growing and being taught feels like a natural addition to a human sim. Because of course it is, childbirth is just that natural and should be accounted for in any self-respecting approximation of a human experience. As for "stalling" I don't know anyone who would play Rimworld to beeline for the "win" scenario. Speedrunning isn't why most people play this, I'd wager.

>>713170749

>>713175198
What's wrong with the patch?

>>713175609
It's just placing blueprints over existing structures. See: >>713166000
Replace Stuff can instantly build without the deconstruct step (so like breaking down walls to your greenhouse won't instantly kill all your crops in the dead of winter), and keeps things like bills and bed assignments with the new thing you built. Tynan's does not.

RW increases game difficulty over time, urging you to win as soon as possible.

>>713176252
Threat calculation is determined mostly by wealth. Not "time spent." Not unless you specifically set the "time based threat calculation" which sounds like hell. I would never do that.

It is if you restrict yourself to a specific map. You pretty much have to be nomadic to mitigate threat over time since it's based on the map rather than time since overall game start.

>>713175916
Man I must have completely misread things when looking at the announcement. Thanks for letting me know.

>>713177004
You're not the only one. I didn't know any better until I read that post in this thread too.

My hype for 1.6 is only slightly lessened though. That wasn't a deal breaker or anything. And the mod maker is clearly still active, so the good version isn't going to disappear.

Reminder: Only correct way to play RimWorld is to have FUN!

Hopefully we get to see more faction interaction, and the possibility to carry on using the same planet like DF...

who shat in your coffee?

Late adopters actually pay less because the DLC prices aren't adjusted for inflation and the base game was adjusted downward instead of up as expected.

Hugs and shrugs buddy

>muh bloat
oh grow up

>>713183715
Well right now one of the the dlcs is 19.99, but I'd say 15 is pushing it for each one. I mean the latest one by most accounts is just an amalgamation of mods, some of them are lesser adaptations.
>That'll be 24.99
I pirated this a few weeks ago and have been chipping away at it. Devs should be thankful autism exists because otherwise idk how this game would survive.

Oskar's not gonna pat you on the head for blowing him

There are definitely some things left to be desired.
Anomaly was the worst DLC by far, Royalty and Ideology should have been one slightly more comprehensive DLC, but Biotech is full on based
For me I preferred the Lovecraft and Cult mods over how Ideology is done and liked Rimworld of Magic way more than psycasting

The hilarious thing is I actually play on a pirated copy despite being a paycuck cause I don't like fussing with steam

I can see why people are put off by the starting price, I certainly wouldn't pay 130 off the bat for any game--but you don't actually need the DLC to play the base game.

anomaly is better than ideology. It doesnt have that disgusting oskar taint to it.

>>713184309
I'll take your word for it based almost 5k anon. Maybe I'll give it a hard mod run this weekend

>>713185272
I don't know who Oskar is

>>713185280
Right on, just pirate it and try it out

Is there a mod allowing me to use my prisoners/enemies as human shields?

>>713185552
You can enslave prisoners and send them to the frontlines. Giving them a weapon greatly increases rebellion chance but you can give them a log as a shitty melee that doesn't do so.
I once had a slave with a log as a meatshield for my true guys.

I had something like pic related in mind.

>>713187616
Nope, that's not possible ingame.
Also you could still strike him into the head with a baton or warhammer. He needs to wear a baby on his head too for this to work.
And even then, you can go for the gaps between them with a knife.
