"Not game changing" - Industrial rollers - Plant Human

[@KokoplaysMB]

Exactly.

[@Ghaladh]

@@KokoplaysMB Koko, the latter actually makes RimWorld way easier, to be fair.

[@SirNyanPanda]

@@Ghaladh Tbh so do conveyors. Actually, conveyors should be in base game, hauling metal/ chunks from across all of the map is a great pain in butt. I thought about how great conveyors would be, but never looked for a mod.

[@Ghaladh]

@@SirNyanPanda I'm using them now and while they do an excellent job, they are not game-breaking. You merely save a lot of time, so that your colonists can do more rather than going back an forth transporting stuff. Planting and raising people, on the other hand, is quite game breaking.

[@TharrisChannel]

First 9 are good suggestions, downloaded them, but just can't wrap my head around the Plant Human mod. Hospitality, for me, is just more rationally immersive. Still a great mod list overall.

[@KokoplaysMB]

Hospitality is a great mod I completely agree. Plant Human is... funny. It's not something I'd use often but on the occasions I do it's always in chill relaxed playthroughs.

[@semi-useful5178]

Dehl Fudge thanks so much for this, I had some sort of mods mismatch and so had to delete ResearchPal from my (very long) modlist. This sounds great, especially for games using a lot of lategame content/tech mods.

[@martywinterburn9335]

Wow, thanks for showing so much interest in explaining the wider world and range of rimworld, I remember when it was in development and we put $150 bucks into the process, it's an amazing game that needs expansion. You truly care about games and you community, thanks Koko we appreciate it.

[@KokoplaysMB]

Thanks buddy! I've been playing RimWorld for years now and it's just a game that keeps on giving.

[@JohnFKennedy420]

Are you on drugs?? I bought Rimworld when you had to go to their website and download the zip file. It was $20, not $150?? It also doesn’t need expansion, the game is complete. No more updates. Your comment made zero sense the entire way through.

[@martywinterburn9335]

That was back when it was in development, and needed donations, you basically buy the game for much more, we brought it twice, and then a third time after that for my own personal computer. All up, about $150.

[@Ghaladh]

@@martywinterburn9335 Thank you for your precious contribution. You did your part to give me and others a long lasting source of fun. My gratitude, nice stranger. :)

[@martywinterburn9335]

@@Ghaladh no worries mate, I love stories and rimworld is definitely part of that.

[@skavies2351]

Colony manager is an interesting mod. I find it more of a skill balancer mod for the player, not so much for the colony. A newish player will love the automation for basic resource management, things like keeping 150 food, 82 wood, 47 million leather (you can set all the limits) while an experienced player will hate it for taking 2 hours of 1 pawns time per day basically handicapping them. There's a few mods (while you're up, pick up and haul, hauling+, etc...) which make hauling items more efficient depending on how cheasy you want to get from things I find reasonable like a pawn will pick up a near by stack of items and carry it to where it's supposed to go if they are going that general area next anyway, to full on doing the caravan carry cheese of forming a caravan to expand its carrying capacity to more weight and lots of items... Finally there's mods for managing your stockpiles which seems stupid, but use it once and you'll hate vanilla. All it does is puts a search bar at the bottom of any screen that shows contents like a stockpile or a crafting table for use with restricting materials. Do you have any idea how much time I've wasted going from one modpack to another than having to find out where herbal medicine is hiding in those lists so I can tell them to put it there, or to store only marble, granite and/or slate? SIMPLE SEARCH BAR. I should put this at the top, but being a convenience mod video, I'm too lazy to do it.

[@KokoplaysMB]

Gotta love search bars for sure! And I totally agree with you on Colony Manager, I could never play with it..

[@skavies2351]

@@KokoplaysMB You can treat colony manager like a search bar for rare things, like compacted steel to mine and simply deconstruct it/forbid it afterwards. It will catch the inside corner compacted steel if you're blind like me and can't see the small corner gradient. So it could have some use for people who are at the point where it's mostly worse than useless. It won't mine things that aren't visible, but it will catch anything that is, even if it's only slightly visible.

[@DeHub94]

I only ever use Colony Manager to keep my animal farm in check. Usually I forget about them and they crowd the place or eat all of my food. It's also really handy to manage animal zones. For example, I keep my young chickens outside of the wall. They can feed on the gras there and act as decoys for raiders. If they are grown up they move inside the walls, so my colonists can collect the eggs and feed them more easily.

[@Salmon_Toastie]

Matthias Hub Yeah have these people never had a chicken farm? Shit gets out of hand fast, I ain’t pausing my game every hour just to slaughter chickens.

[@lastyhopper2792]

@@Salmon_Toastie seperate the rooster from hen if you don't want more chicken

[@joewilson3393]

I'm glad to see a lot of Mods I already prefer on this list. Personally, I mod the game with a "Keep in the faith of Vanilla" mindset. I have just about all of the mods Owl has made that attempt to bring back abandoned mods. Especially my favorite, the Cactecea race. I also have the "vanilla" mods (the ones with the pleasant green backgrounds, can't recall the two that buld them off the top of my head). Those are the ones where they add animals, clothes, and weapons that are vanilla flavored. I also have the Pshycology, Rumors, and some mods that add extra events. One of the more recent additions is Real Ruins. It's a mod that uploads copies of player bases who use the mod. Then chunks (which you can customize in content and complexity) can be found in random map generation and special quests. The catch is that it certainly can make your game harder. Think "why are there three scythers on the open map as I land?" And of course, Hospitality.

[@KokoplaysMB]

I have a love hate relationship with Real Ruins. It can be a great addition if you're doing more of a caravan/world map playthrough where you travel a lot and those ruins can be worth exploring. But they do pose a big danger if you're not careful. Using one too many mods gave one of those ruins a row of automated mortars that wiped out my whole squad in seconds :D

[@joewilson3393]

@@KokoplaysMB I had a pristine ruin quest that made me LOVE those automated turrets. Someone had filled their whole map with really hardcore ones, but some were disconnected. I looted for 24 hours after finding a hole in the line while all the raiders died trying to beat up the turrets. I left when the raiders started winning.

[@sergeantyoshi656]

I really like using Hospitality, but i got a Problem maybe you can help me. I had an Event where Transport Capsules Landed on my map, i rescued the people and my colonist carried them to my infirmary, so far so good. But now they dont leave anymore, i have the guest tap but i can only adjust what Medicine they should recive. I had to take them to my prison or they would have died, could it ne that the Hospitality mod is to far down on my mod list or shouldnt be that a Problem?

[@deathbynewports7745]

I just got this game about 2 weeks ago, been playing vanilla and im glad to see a list of mods like this, the steam workshop is a bit overwhelming ay first

[@KokoplaysMB]

Glad I could help!

[@littlepotato2741]

I'd recommend two mods for QOL: Allow Tool (adds a ton of functionality about allowing/disallowing items, a separate work category for urgent hauling, and much more) and QualityBuilder (allows you to set a target quality and will have your best constructor work on the item... they will build it, deconstruct it, and rebuild it until they hit that selected quality level. Less useful at the beginning, but so very useful in the middle game when you are trying to get high quality beds, etc for your pawns.)

[@CamQuish]

It clearly is overwhelming with this game, but there are so many good mods it's really worth browsing every once in a while ! My advice is : sort the whole workshop by most subbed (not by rating), this will provide you with a list of all the most solid mods that most of the community uses. Browse the pages reading about the ones that intrigue you until you feel like the quality/relevance is going downhill. The game can handle a huge amout on them : I curently play with 90 ish mods, mostly quality of life (like "Better Workbench Management" or "MT - silent doors"), some adding gameplay like "Dubs Bad Hygiene" or the excelent "Psychology". Have fun !

[@deathbynewports7745]

I saw one for a multiplayer mod, does that actually work? Ide be verry interested if it did

[@CamQuish]

I had no idea this mod existed, that's awesome (not that i have friends willing to play this game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but still a really cool add) The comments seem to indicate that it works, but is a bit laggy with x2 and x3 game speed, which makes sense. The commenters also stressed that you want to load the same mods in the same orders for it to work, other than that just follow the spreadsheet and guide and it should work fine.

[@GBfanatic15]

I've never seen someone explain how research pal works....so I appreciate this and also now I want to install it XD

[@melananighthawk]

Two mods that I feel are essential - Numbers, and Better Pawn Control. Numbers lets you set up your own views of colonist/enemy/prisoner/animal/wildlife stats - including things like mining speed - things that you can normally access only one colonist at a time through the "i"nfo button on their colonist panel, and to sort them by any of the chosen columns. It makes it easy to answer questions like "who is going to give me the best trade discount"? Better Pawn Control expands the handling of defaults for zones, foods, etc - it lets you specify what foods are and are not permitted to be eaten by colonists/prisoners/animals - no more needing to keep your pets away from your fields because you can now ban them from eating the farm plants. It also lets you quickly toggle between one preset and another - so you can create a "Pasture" set of zone defaults for animals and a "Safety" set of zone defaults, and toggle between them by changing one dropdown box value to send all pets into a safe area when under attack. Three others well worth looking at: List Everything, [WD] Soil Contrast, and Color Coded Mood Bar. You can create your own alerts based on any combination of search tags with List Everything - e.g. get an alert when an animal on the map dies that points to the corpse, so you can go and get any remains as free food when the predator finishes their meal. Soil Contrast makes the fertile soil a rich dark brown so you can see the difference between soil types more easily. Color Coded Mood Bar tints the background highlight for colonists according to their current mood so you can see at a glance who is on the edge of breaking.

[@KokoplaysMB]

Good mods right there, thanks for mentioning them!

[@velloso2553]

*THIS SOUNDTRACK...*

[@bloodwolfgaming9269]

There is one, I cannot think of the exact name atm, called like "Prepare" or something like that which basically allows you to set everything for your colonists before you start. You can set specifics for their age/gender/backstory/past injuries/stats/perks and so on and so forth for each of your colonists, choose how many colonists you wish to start with, as well as what materials/items/resources/gear you want your colonists to start with when they crash land on the planet. It is a really handy and helpful mod for those new to the game because allows players to give themselves a bit of an edge when they first start off and allow them to get a nice foothold with a base before the game starts to beat them down.

[@KokoplaysMB]

It's called Prepare Carefully, the reason I didn't include it in this video is because I went with lesser known mods and that one is pretty much the most downloaded mod for RimWorld.

Great mod list, well except for the last one. There are three I would add to the list as irreplaceable. Embrasures for defense, since I first played vanilla I always wondered why I couldn’t make a wall with a slit to shoot out of. Rimfridge, this works so well with Industrial Rollers it’s crazy. And best for last, Rimatomics. This gives great but very expensive power and defense options for late game. Without this mod I would get bored and my games wouldn’t last half as long.

[@h.s.6269]

Do you know of mods that add various armors or more crafting? Or one that lets caravans treat themselves without having to settle temporarily just to have them treat a random gut worms outbreak or something? I'm pretty new to mods in rimworld and only run a few like prepared carefully, and a few animal packs (adds dog breeds and horses as pack animals).

[@Archbishop_of_the_Noodle]

The Vanilla series will give a bunch of crafting that doesn't skew the game hard in your favor. Caravans automatically try to treat wounds either by default or with whatever medicine is available. The forage indicator is only for food like berries or agave, it doesn't mean they will harvest herbal medicine to use. So just make sure that they have some available during caravanning. Unfortunately I only use the medieval mod for extra armor and I have no experience with other armor mods. Medieval has armor for hands and feet so you won't lose so many fingers and toes which gets annoying after surviving a few years. That 'in pain' debuff keeps getting bigger. As an extra, the Rambo weapons mod adds a bunch of real world guns with their own varying stats. Everything has pros and cons to them so it's balanced. The bad is that there is a plethora of guns it adds that it can get overwhelming. Especially since there is so many guns that the mod author hasn't written descriptions for any of them. Making it hard to tell if some are pistols or machine guns. After you play and win/lose a few times branch out to other mods that give rpg elements, factions, species, magic, technology, etc.

[@KokoplaysMB]

Generally any new faction you add will have special armor/weapons unique to them. There's also Vanilla Expanded mod series that improves on that. For really a ton of new armor and clothing to craft check out Apparello 2: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=728381322

[@thedead456321]

I have seem pretty much mods from all steam index pages so gg

[@mekkiepoo]

I feel like pick up and haul // while you're up should be on this list.. pick up and haul lets your colonists grab armfuls of stuff as long as they have the weight to do so (ie an entire stack of clothing). While you're up allows colonists to autonomously haul nearby things on the ground to stockpiles near where they are headed when they decide to move.. really makes hauling life easier.

[@KokoplaysMB]

Two great mods right there 100% agree!

[@l9m241]

You should do another video about expansion mods. Like Save our Ship 2, and Hospitality.

[@KokoplaysMB]

That's a good idea for sure!

[@david.duarte.4515]

Thanks, for the general this videos class are bad videos, but this video was useful thanks.

[@KokoplaysMB]

Thanks

Lately I've been looking for a Factorio or management style game that's also a colony game and I'm glad there's a mod for it. I've never heard of the Blueprints mod before. I wish it was apart of the game from the start. I would have exported so many base designs. :) I think there used to be a mod to replace walls and the like but this version seems to be very polished. I had no idea the RPG Invintory had such a quick way to go back and forth. That might help me give it a try.

[@KokoplaysMB]

When I first started using RPG inventory it had an issue where it would clip over so you couldn't see the max and min temperature so that back and forth helped a lot. Really cool mod that one.

[@kairon156]

@@KokoplaysMB After subbing to a hand full of these mods I'm wondering if I should race to finish my current play through without the mods or start a new game with them now.

[@christianjonahzapanta6954]

is there anything about realistic graphics?

[@majormajorasic]

It's on! Jerry and Beth are going to marry sometime soon, prepare a marriage spot if you want to control where it happens.

[@mirjanbouma]

Not mentioned here but a mod that saves so much frustration is "While you're up". It makes it do that pawns can grab multiple things instead of needing a separate trip for every different thing, like when you've stripped a downed enemy and want to haul their stuff back to storage. I'm mostly a QoL and "in the spirit of vanilla Rimworld" mod user. While You're Up is an AI fix and less of a mod IMO.

[@KokoplaysMB]

Good point, that is a great mod!

[@mirjanbouma]

@@KokoplaysMB thanks! I think it was the first mod I ever installed. Three round trips for three items of clothing is BS!

[@janlukas1313]

I played many mods and If I may suggest one. Combine industrial rollers with rimfactory. Because why play factorio when you can harvest organs and have bee hives on top.

[@KokoplaysMB]

Better Spike Traps mod

[@Pyshkopath]

I'm going to add Better Spots asap! A mod I love is Numbers... it allows you to display custom tabs showing every stat you want! For example I have a simple work assignment tab where I can see all my colonists' skills at once and assign them the main jobs. It's amazing to train the shooting skill of my pawns by bumping up their hunting priority, or choose the best pawn in town for trading, etc. I also have a drafting tab where I can see the gear, useful combat stats such as accuracy, moving speed, and their health condition. I also love the Work Tab mod! 9 priority levels instead of 4, a breakdown of most jobs into their basic sub tasks, and even a function to only allow a certain task at a certain time of day! Only my best animal handlers can tame wild beasts, everybody can feed a patient, only the best doctor can do surgery, everybody can deliver materials to blueprints, but only the good builders actually build... It's an amazing tool! Just know that it resets your work priorities when you first install it, so take a screenshot before! I had to find out the hard way haha Achtung!, Allow Tool, Please Haul Perishables, Path Avoid... there are plenty of QoL mods that are just so great at reducing micromanagement!

[@KokoplaysMB]

Allow Tool is a great one for sure. I used Work Tab in the past but figured I'm fine with 4 priorities most of the time.

[@Pyshkopath]

@@KokoplaysMB I think the real beauty of it is the separation of tasks! Especially that everybody helps with the construction, I don't have to micro it anymore. I have installed Pick Up And Haul as well, that has a great synergy with this, the Haul Urgently function of Allow Tool and Please Haul Perishables!

[@randomcatontheinternet2771]

tried RSRP expansion couldn't stop using it as it really helps me traveling anywhere as I please really great with more faction interaction mods since I hate having my pawn especially a good one suddenly got a daze while on cavaran *final straw food poisoning*

How about the mod called "Eating without a table is a war crime"? :D

[@booboomcfoogaming9551]

Can you come up with a medevil withcer mashup? More along need for special weapons for certain monsters and the enspansive creature types from both games
