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

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

*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).
