Outdated / [B18] TryB4Buy's MetaMod Medley 1 Stop Mod Shop

June 20, 2018, 01:07:37 PM

Do you want to balance out the rough edges in vanilla Rimworld? Surely some one else has already done this, right? Are you overwhelmed by the number of mods in Rimworld? Have you just wanted to try them all out without having to track down conflicts? Then you are in luck! Here is the only list you'll ever need for the maximally-modded vanilla-feeling Rimworld experience. Just spam click all these downloads, move the files into Rimworld's mod folder (with one deletion on the last mod), and click that mod list! Since we are in Beta now and the game is coming out soon, I figured now is a good time to release this.

I've lurked on these boards for a while and put together a mod list that basically included everything I could get my hands on that worked well together and didn't drastically change or unbalance Rimworld. You won't see magic or elves. You'll just feel like the game got bigger and better balanced. Most of these mods are quality of life mods but there are also one that add things to vanilla in a way I just can't live without anymore. If you have a mod that you think I may not have seen (possible, but I have combed through every B18 release her a few times), just post a link. My responses will be somewhat arbitrary, but I can try to justify my decisions.

MetaMods, where order matters (put the first two on top of your mod list and mine at the very BOTTOM):
HugsLib            https://github.com/UnlimitedHugs/RimworldHugsLib/releases/latest
Universal Fermenter      https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=33398.0
Jecrell's Tobacco & Dry Leaves   https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=36823
TryB4Buy Metamod Medley      DOWNLOAD LINK

*Note that this mod is special in that its defs folder should be manually deleted so as to not flood your modded game with tons of guns.

Mods that I'd like to see on this list in the future. Maybe they have low availability, need work, or not stable in B18 with a mod compilation like this:

Lastly, I am aware that my TryB4Buy metamod could use de-pairing. I started this medley before that was an option and haven't gotten up to speed on the new tricks: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=34067 . Maybe I'll do that when Rimworld is finally released, along with some slight terrain limiting and PlaceWorker_HeadOnShipBeam / PlaceWorker_HeadOnSensorCluster editing in order to limit the fusion reactor, ship computer core, structural beams, and ship engines to the sensor cluster only. Nor have I done the next step of optimizing the initial program launch time with this Conflict Checker: https://www.nexusmods.com/rimworld/mods/142/?tab=2

Licensing: I do not own any of the other above mods. All credit goes to the real mod makers. My mod is released with no licensing restrictions at all. See their individual licenses, which I do not infringe, if you want to re-release their original material. I'll leave you with a link to a great joke mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=730433626 which I recommend you try on my intense difficulty scenarios (in your AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\Scenarios folder).

Mods / Is there a mod that reverses crafted items?

May 01, 2018, 12:25:44 PM

For instance, you find (or start with) medicine but need the original 3 cloth, 1 neutroamine and 1 herbal medicine more. Has anyone made a mod that allows you to extract the component resources of various composite items?

Mods / [Mod Request] Research Queue

March 28, 2018, 02:42:34 PM

Is there another mod that has research queuing besides research pal? I don't feel the need to change the vanilla tab format.

Bugs / No automatic control of Self-Tend & Scheduled Drugs

February 22, 2018, 04:53:34 PM

1) There is no way to tell a pawn that taking a drug (during a scheduled time, of course) is more important than other assigned work. If you have drugs A, B, C, & D then you can wait for a pawn to, after waking go take drugs. But the pawn will usually only take drugs A & B. C comes if you are lucky, and D never happens even though all 4 drugs are adjacent and nothing else changes. The pawn just decides to ignore the drug's identical schedules and go do something else instead.

2) There is no way to tell a pawn during sleep time, but after being awoken, that healing itself is more important than going back sleep. This bug only shows during sleep time. During work time the interruption functions just fine. I think this is because sleeping has automatic highest priority. See more in-depth below

There is no work around for the first one (you have to use manual orders and just not trust the built in scheduling of drugs). The scheduler has no sleep column, so there is no reliable way to have a pawn automatically take wakeup when exhausted. Basically, the drug scheduler is inadequate/broken.

The second requires waking up, drafting, flipping the colonist to working, waiting a tick (THIS STEP IS REQUIRED BECAUSE OF AN ADDITIONAL BUG), undrafting so the pawn can start to self-tend, then switching the working time to sleep time. I have to do this for a dozen colonists every night, sometimes multiple times (mechanites, flu, etc). Drowsy colonists sleep twice a day and so I have to do this two times as often. It's awful.

This is easy to recreate with a test map. If I can go make a 30 second vanilla save if needed.

Mods / [Non-Steam Request] Orion's Therapy Mod

December 24, 2017, 01:10:32 PM

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1076950211

I'd put the request in over there, but steam removed my posting ability after a year or so and has been deleting my posts because I refused to pay them. Steam forums are NOT public and users' posts are NOT safe from arbitrary deletion.

Example post that has been deleted, not for breaking ToS (spam, flaming, etc), but simply because I refused their extortion money: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=650254263

Mods / [Mod Request] B18 Smart Speed's x0.5 Button

December 24, 2017, 12:24:36 PM

The Smart Speed Mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=803734444) allowed users to rune the game at half of normal speed without pause-spamming micro. Does anyone else have a mod that can do that?

Mods / [Mod Request] Infestation Room Size Adjustments

December 24, 2017, 01:03:49 AM

I'm looking to make infestations happen in small rooms but not in big ones. I'd appreciate someone making such a mod with XML to adjust those as users see fit.

General Discussion / How to Edit Pain Effects

December 24, 2017, 01:00:03 AM

I wish to do a simple XML edit to make Masochists have 50% of the consciousness hit that normal people have for various levels of pain. After all, when you like what you're feeling its not so distracting.

But I can't find where pain affects consciousness at all.
