hello I'm new but I'm trying to get mods so after 7 zip I drag them into the mod folder and fire up rimworld but it says to write alpha 14 or something on it but it is for that version please help me.
you will want to unpack the archives.
how do I do that
Right click on the zip file, there'll be an option to extract or unpack the file
Sometimes when you unpack a zip it'll create it's own folder for it, too which would make the game to not recognise the mod files in there
so make sure the folder path looks like this:

If it say that you have to write alpha 14 it may because you tried to use a A15 mod with a A14 rimworld no? Could you provide more information please?
can you simplyfly that I'm new to rimworld and stuff
no there alpha 14
Your game version and the mod version needs to be the same. Both A14 or both A15.
You get that error, most likely, because your game is A15 but you tried installing an A14 mod.
It would help you if you gave us some more complete information on what you have installed, what you're trying to install and any questions/uncertainties you're having during that process. :)
so I have epoe vegetable garden v4.oc industrialization_v1.14 and glitter tec all say alpha 14 and I currently run alpha 14 I tried apha 15 mods thay say the same
Is it the Ludeon site download/install or Steam install?
ludeon download
Well, if you follow the instructions in this thread it should work.
So the question is; what's making it not work? ;)
When you boot up the game, what version number does it say in the top left?
0.14.1241 rev1011 that's what it said
Hmm. Well, you could go into the About folder and open up the About.xml for each mod you have installed and manually check (or alter) if they're set to 0.14.1241.
in the mods they say 0.14.1249 is that something
That is such a minor difference. It might warn you, but it shouldn't give you an error.
Go into your RimWorld folder, open the RimWorldWin_Data folder and then open output_log.txt.
Copy the contents to a reply here, but be sure to put [ code][ /code] tags around it! (Without the spaces in the example, of course.)
Mod EPOE 1.72 has incorrectly formatted target version 'Unknown'. For the current version, write: <targetVersion>0.14.1241</targetVersion>
(Filename: C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/runtime/UnityEngineDebugBindings.gen.cpp Line: 37)
this is for epoe

Ah yes, see. Double check to see if you have that EPOE installed properly, because it is most likely missing the About.xml in the right place.
how do I do that

sorry but can you simplify that I'm new to modding
There is nothing inherent to
modding in Shinzy's post. It's all basic computer skills. ;)

I really don't know how it could be made any simpler than the basic and clear way Shinzy wrote it.
Perhaps you could ask more specific questions on what you're having trouble with? :)
Right click on the .zip file, select "Extract", going off memory (I don't use 7zip) it should open a window with a folder in it. Click and drag the folder into Rimworld's mod folder.
Because your issue is probably with EPOE, you will need to delete the old EPOE install by clicking the EPOE folder and pressing the delete button on your keyboard. After that, follow the above and see if it works
If it still isn't working, it probably didn't download properly, or the issue lays elsewhere. Download EPOE again, and follow the above.
Edit: Off the top of my head, GlitterTech used to be incompatible with EPOE I think, but I dont remember it throwing error messages.
Oh yeah, you should use the GlitterTech (No Surgery) version when you want to use EPOE with it!
thanks i got it to work and it helped you really did help
this is problem a noob question but how do I update the game. I don't have the steam version
Just Download it again.
k ill try that
wait I don't have steam so if I uninstall then wont it delete it.
