Knowing Ludeon, they have been in contact with at least a part of the modders for a few weeks now to get them ready for update.

I feel the same apprehension. I have been running a colony on and off for ten years in game that I am worried about breaking.

you can set a previous version as your game's version, then you can use any mod you want. Got bored of it? Change it back to current version and play some of it, it's really easy and convenient imho

@@SirBalageG How? edit: is this what the "Beta" option on the steam configs for the game does? because if it is, that's awesome :^D

@@lonerimortal8 indeed gentleman, mine's set to 1.2.3005 for example you can go on experimenting which version suited your play style the best, I found this quite compatible with vanilla without any constrains

Since it takes about 170 QoL mods to make RW playable.

I am *so* tired of building shelves (which I largely have done for making sure weapons get stored quickly) only giving the same storage space as the unmodified space as a stockpile. Warehouses use shelves to make better use of floor space, makes sense we should too!

The way the icons stack in Rimworld is positively genius!

It's a huge game changer =) A huge pain in the butt part is just how much area is needed for basic storage.

oh my good lord, this has made the base game so much easier. no more running out of storage too early forcing me to waste materials and time on new storage areas.

@@Scott_Burton Stacks should be double or triple in size for a shelf and this essentially accomplishes that. How many are gonna uninstall the stack mod though?

You mean "qol" mods. There are always expansion mods that will never be integrated. But the QoL mods are so needed its criminal not to integrate them

@@csabaszasz4466 Nah, I mean mods in general

jack hood you mean you wont install cool guns & features from your favorite childhood movies & other video games?

@@SupaMalaman I already don't do that so no lol

@@TheJackHood you really are missing out

That's not always a good thing. You make a mod, you test it, you code it, you spend days, weeks, months testing it with the community. Then the Devs come in, kick you in the nuts and take your mod and adds it to the base game. Basically spitting on all the hard work you have been doing and wasting all the time you used to create said mod, and you get literally nothing from it. Now if they turned around and offered to PAY the Mod Owners to let them intergrate their mod into Rimworld, that's a different story. But to take someone's hard work, kick them in the balls and leave them with nothing but wasted time? That is NOT a good thing, and gets into legal grey area about copyright protection of mods.

@@Jirodyne Do you think Tynan has been stealing mod makers' work? Because I would seriously be surprised to hear that

@@Jirodyne i like my mod added to base game. it honor!

@@SeraSmiles It depends on how they are making these qol improvements. If they see the idea done in a mod and get inspired, writing their own code and using their own assets. There is probably nothing wrong with it. However, if they are stealing the assets and art created by the mod makers, that's a big no no. And if they are ripping the code right from the mods and just implanting them into the game, that's not visually seen but also a big no no. But we have no way to tell with the second one. We can only hope they are getting inspired and improving the game, and not just stealing mods, their codes and assets. Bethesda actually did this with Fallout NV if I remember, their first DLC had a questline in it, that was pretty much line for line what someone else did as a mod. They just stole the entire mod, and changed very tiny details like names and looks, but was easy to see it was the exact same thing, as they said the exact same lines. If 1 game company has done it, it's hard to trust others.

@@Jirodyne You seem like you know very little about RimWorld. I don't mean this to be offensive, not everyone is going to know much about a niche colony manager game. But you're describing things that haven't happened. A lot of mods have been directly made base game, because Tynan asked the makers if he could add them into a new patch. A lot of QoL mods have also been clearly used as reference to base game with new versions of them replacing old mechanics in RimWorld that weren't well liked. Given Tynan's relationship with the people who make RimWorld mods it would be shooting himself in the foot to rip them off.

the cool thing about this game and it's community is a lot of popular mods turn into base game features

@@necropolistc6357 The Binding of Isaac too.

Thanks so much :)

That's Jadz for ya. She's extremely good at quickly but clearly showing and explaining.

Oh, man, don't unsub all, just export your load order now and use a modlist organizer like RimPy to reintroduce things as they get updated D: It goes a lot quicker than you'd think.

Opposite for me. This is the first DLC i've really been excited about. Ideology was boring for me, and royalty was only "okay". Different strokes for different folks. This one is directly up my alley and dives directly into my favorite aspects of the game and stuff i've wanted in base game a long time.

Thanks for supporting it for so long... I looked at gameplay back then and I just wasn't sold. Finally just tried it. It's one of the few games I think that's hard to explain until you give it a shot.

Same. I'm very excited for this one. I was mildly excited for Royalty because I wanted the psychic powers and the throne and all that, but I wasn't impressed at all by Ideology. But this one? I'm really stoked on. I play with Robots mod and Androids mod (alternate between the two, depending on my mood) because I have always loved the idea of making your own robots to automate tasks. This being part of the base game and working smoothly, without bugs, without worrying about lack of modder updates, and with better implementation is just a dream come true. I'm so excited.

@@facechriscat4214 oh i remember rimworld back when the stockpile was a literal building. I can see why you werent quite sold yet.

:) thank you

I always used that one. Good that its integrated now

Isn't that just amazing though? Your code being integrated into the base game... as a modder thats peak achievement

@@csabaszasz4466 reminds me of the old queue mod :o so nice to have it in-game :D

Yeah I’m gonna be using that constantly!

Yes, the shelves were close to useless before. I'm happy that they got improved.

oh why thank you :)

thank you :)

Same, sittin at 2k over here!
