I spent yesterday looking for fun mods (was previously on vanilla), found a bunch and installed them via Steam Workshop. I loaded up the game (via Steam), picked which ones I wanted in the mods dialog, and started a new game. Had other plans, so saved and closed it down almost immediately. Later, I started up Rimworld again, only to be met with attached image "rimworldbug1.png".
My ModsConfig.xml looked like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ModsConfigData>
<buildNumber>1393</buildNumber>
<activeMods>
<li>Core</li>
</activeMods>
</ModsConfigData>
I tried re-adding the mods from the save file, but that didn't help. I tried manually removing RimWorld from SteamLibrary/apps/common, didn't help. Noticed that in SteamLibrary\SteamApps\downloading there was an empty folder with RimWorld's Steam AppID. I'm figuring some mod got "stuck" updating from the workshop?
In the end, deleting RimWorld in Steam (delete local files) and reinstalling it made the mods dialog work.
Of course then all mods were in "inactive" mode. So I exited RimWorld and copied the list of mods from my savegame into my modsconfig file, and then it was all good again (just mentioning this if someone else is ever in the same spot).
So like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ModsConfigData>
<buildNumber>1393</buildNumber>
<activeMods>
<li>Core</li>
<li>818773962</li>
<li>776679895</li>
</activeMods>
</ModsConfigData>
The log file never had anything of value in it that I could see. Unfortunately I haven't saved it, but it was short and didn't have much info besides loading what I think are the default Unity and RimWorld assemblies.
