This was the most related section for me to post this in, in my mind anyway. Perhaps have a community creations area?
Anyway, I'm kind of lazy and the task of downloading and unpacking the updates each time was a task I could avoid. So I built a tool to do it for me!

Its a simple VB.net application, it only works in windows.
The login is basically just for show. It does connect to a login server but not one that can check if you own RIM, so I won't be distributing this unless I can do that (impossible unless Tynan helps me)
I've built this on my own, and have no affiliation with Ludeon or RimWorld
Looks cool although the sort of thing that would work best from the Tynan, obviously, if it used an SSO/forums account.
Could potentially do some verification through a display that you have the game through showing the SendOwl email, not sure. Does it keep saves (not sure if they are compatible with updates anyway :/) - best auto-update would be a mod updater :)

Its just a concept really, I enjoy making this sort of thing :)
As for a mod manager, perhaps my next project :)
