Title: A14 best mods?
Post by: Xplicita on July 17, 2016, 04:46:01 PM
I just recently got into playing this game and never used any mods but some sound interesting and others meh.  I noticed one person on these forums who post a lot of his mods together but other than that a lot are spread all around and hard to see all mods that are available.  Which mods does the community as a whole feel really improve and make the game more fun to play?

Koisama's Number's mod and UnlimitedHugs Allow Tool are must haves for me. I did not like playing without them after installing A14.

The Community Core is nice as a lot of mods now require them to function.

I suggest trying out ones that sound interesting and see what you like/don't like. Add and Remove until you have a good set that are enjoyable for you.

I can vouch for many of the mods suggested above. I will be the third to suggest Modular Tables it's really good. I love vegetable garden.

Here are some mods I like that are likely not updated to A14 yet.

DoorMats - Rubs that remove dirt from animal and pawns feet for less cleaning.
A2B - A mod that add like a convairbelt system to move items and sort them etc.
RT_QuantumStorage-A13 - I have not used it much but it's a neat storage system mod.

There is a mod called "kNumbers" which is A14. - Shows a bunch of stats that you can customize for comparing things in the game. Yeah
I see did not see the benefit at first until after I downloaded the mod and it rocks.

Madskills - Either decreases or completely turns off Skill Decay.
ED-Shields - Is one of my most favorite mods.

P.S  Most of the mods other players suggested above don't change balance or don't go to far from the Vanilla feel and balance. Were some of them do a little. I feel some of the mods I mentioned go further away from Vanilla like ED-Shields is pretty non-vanilla. RT_QuantumStorage-A13 also pretty non-vanilla as well.  Both of these mods change balance a lot.

Just use Prepare Carefully. EdB stuck around a bit longer to get a quick version out for A14 and also I believe he got it all setup with Open Source Licensing for someone else to continue it.

I can confirm this. It works just fine in a14. There is a version near the end of the thread that is a hotfix.

I'm forever spoiled by koisama's Numbers (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=16558.0) and Fluffy's plethora of mods (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=16120.0) that I "can't" really play without them. :) They don't change the core experience significantly, but make your life so much easier (and thus the life of your pawns - think of the pawns!).
