[MOD PACK] (Alpha 8) Epyk Pack 1.18y[Alpha 9 update soon!]

[Epyk]

The Epyk pack is a heavily modded mod pack filled with more than 40+ of the best of mods available to enrich your RimWorld experience. With a ton of new content introduced from cosmetic decoration to new turrets and defenses. Each new release is thoroughly tested to make sure you, the user, doesn't have any problems. If you're looking for a modded RimWorld adventure then the Epyk Pack is for you!

I have decided the Epyk Pack has reached a soft-cap for mods. No more mods will be added unless there's an extreme favor for a mod.

FAQ
Q. Items unforbid themself when I forbid them.
A. This is caused by the AutoHauler mod in the Epyk pack. Everything in a home region gets unforbid automatically, make sure you put your medicine in a separate pile and remove home region.

Q. Textures are missing, all I see is a pink X?
A. This can be easily fixed by restarting the RimWorld application.

Q. I get a prolonged black screen when trying to start Rimworld.
A. The number one reason for this would be that you accidentally deleted the "Core" folder from your mods folder. Next would be because your newly added mods are loading and may cause a extension when waiting for RimWorld to start, this is usually a one time occurrence before RimWorld loads quicker again.

Known Issues

• Hamatchi can cause RimWorld to load slow and/or crash. If you're experiencing these problems and have Hamatchi installed, restart Hamatchi or uninstall it. Please note this is an issue with RimWorld in general, not just the Epyk Pack.

Other Info
You may wonder why the Epyk Pack is chock-full of mods.
Every mod in the Epyk Pack is carefully chosen and prepared in such a way that each mod just works together smoothly.
I made the Epyk Pack in mind of a brand new game experience that is vastly different from the vanilla, a quick entrance into the modded RimWorld with a WOW.
Mods also come and go and the Epyk Pack's high number of mods ensure the long life of it's existence. This keeps the mod pack alive through every Rimworld update to come!

Looks pretty neat. Wish I had it when I first started playing . Saves a lot of effort going trough the mod lists one by one, downloading, checking for updates and hotfixes.

Do you plan to add Haplo's Miscellaneous w MAI mod?

Really glad you're taking interest!

I have indeed been eyeballing that mod, I am currently running through colony plays  with the current mods checking for any errors or game play issues. No doubt that mod will be added eventually.

I am always open to suggestions!

[Epyk]

After some hours of testing Epyk Pack 1.02 is now available and is very stable.
Also added the Central Heating mod!
