What popular mods for Rimworld are actually shit and should be avoided?What hidden gem mods for Rimworld do you have in your modlist that you can't understand why others don't?
CE
>>738020710Honestly amazing how long that one has gone on with a big fanbase that demands every mod be patched for it.
>>738020662I don't know, I installed 1000+ mods but haven't actually played the game at all.
>>738020710>>738020818why do people not like CE? I've seen it being requested for patches but what does it do
>>738021151The main thing it tries to do is unfuck the vanilla calculations and make armor more resistant to tribal weapons, for example. It's noble in spirit.The big downside to this is that it really narrows down your play style. As soon as you get a certain type of raid, if you don't have X level of firepower, it's over. A faction with a certain armor type is going to require you to have rushed to a certain, predictable level.It isn't the worst mod in the world, but it touches so much of the game that you always have to be thinking about it when building your modlist. And what it changes can be done with other mods.
>>738020662power creep is so high now that you really need to try hard to die when you have pawns capable of tanking everything for a very long time
>>738020710CE is a fucking dogshit piece of bloatUnironically kill yourself for recommending that trash
>>738023237I think he was doing the opposite of that anon
>install rimjobworld from loverslab>everybody is always horny>colony grinds to a halt as everyone can't stop fucking long enough to do anything
>>738021151>why do people not like CE?too autistic. it also makes combat easier with suppression mechanics
>>738020662Viltrumite RP with Rimjobworld
>>738023237Maybe he meant character editor.
Curious to hear people's experience with the Isekai RPG leveling mod.I haven't tried it yet. My heart tells me it is probably overpowered minmax slop that isn't that fun in reality yet I can't look away
>>738020710I understand that you may not like all the changes, but it makes pew pew feel more gooder so it's a must-have.
Vehicles would be real cool if invading factions also used them (provided they have the tech for it).
>>738023316That's how you fuck a new god into existence
Rimworld is only fun in the initial stages of the gameOnce you get a colony up and running at have more than like 8 pawns it becomes boring as fuck
>>738024424that's what the Odyssey DLC fixed. By that point you can fuck off with your cool ship and start having adventures while you manage the colony on the side
>>738023932This sounds cool, but it also feels the way you described
>>738024520>raid comes>fly awayalso boring
>>738024642the ship thrusters have a cooldown of multiple days, it's not always a get-out-of-jail card
>>738024720Maybe I'm just lucky but I've never ran into a situation where a raid showed up before my thrusters were ready, even with Randy
>>738021151 Main problem I have with it is how bad everything in it is described. Like just give me simple statistics for each piece of equipment, don't give me a massive equation that I have to use to work out the damage.
>>738021151It makes guns OP just like in real life but it breaks a lot of other mods because it modifies so much shit.
>>738024520I wish there were pirate boadings while flying, like a shuttle loaded with drugged pigs breaching the walls. Or some anti aircraft missiles when flying close to hostile (non tribal) settlements forcing you to land and repair.Not all the time but with a reasonable %.
>>738023932The UI is trash and doesn't fit with the rest of the game. Outside of this it's literally nothing but extremely minor boosts to stats that wont matter at all unless you're playing some 200 hour long game.
>start RimJobWorld Anomaly game thinking of making a five dude colony with a harem of female rape slaves kept in the same high security prison I keep entities with an orchard to grow their own food and drugs >get amazing start and colonists>realize hours in that the Anomaly ideology is prudish as fuck sometimes this game is difficult in ways you don't expect
>>738025162RJW is another shit mod that ruins every discussion about the game
>>738020710fpbprjw is also overrated bloat
>>738020710is Yayo's combat better? seem way closer to vanilla but less bullshit>>738024894yeah that would be fucken cool, even more so considering the game already has space pirates that can invade you while on an asteroid
>>738020662Rimround
>>738024424That's why you play the game on randy strive to survive (or higher) difficulty, not fucking peaceful phoebe."Nothing ever happens" no shit you configured it that way.Let the big raids come. Let the tornados rip through your farm. Let the sieges mortar your livestock. Tynan made this game such that only through loss and drama will you have an interesting gameplay experience.
>>738024064I only use vehicles for transportation for this reason. So none with guns mounted and shit
>>738025769>Suggesting "6 seasons of calm" Randy in response to a complaint that nothing ever happens.Yeah sure once every 70 hours he throws the unholy maelstrom of fuck at you.
>>738025769>10000 guys teleport on top of youthat's not fun, it's just annoyingall it does is encourage you to build your base in the exact same way every single run because it's the only way of surviving the bullshit they throw at youoh 5 of my guys died? well who cares because I have 30 other pawns that all have maxed out skills so there's no consequences to anythinglate game rimworld is an exercise in tedium and annoyance, not fun.
>>738025946>yes i play on easy mode, how can you tell
>>738023316I thought that's exactly what people installed that mod for? To jerk off to that and the constant rape?
>>738020662Any good visual mod pack? I tried one anime bullshit but it was spawning dudes with women hairs and I uninstalled
>>738025946you can build your base anyway that you want. people have beaten the game at 500% without pausing with no walls.
>>738026041>no argument
>no one recommends nothing>people just throw shit at each otherWhy are those threads always like this
>>738020662Cooking mods are often bloated with a ton of extra plants and featues that are rarely well balanced. VGP is one of the worst offenders when it comes to adding overpowered foods that undermine the vanilla drug/medical options. If you want visual meal alternatives without affecting the balance just use Food Texture Variety.
>>738020662I enjoy the Dead Man's Switch series. *Caveat, make sure you actually install some enemy races/factions that are strong enough to fight back against it.Avoid CE
>>738020710Vanilla Rimworld combat is such utter dogshit that this mod is almost mandatory. Pretty much every new player learns to build killboxes that trivialize all raids because vanilla combat is so awful that this is the only reasonable way to play. When you get bored of that, you install Combat Extended and swear to never build another killbox.
>>738023316Probably a mod conflict.
>>738020662If its your first time playing play it vanilla, avoid kill boxes until you learn the game then you search mods to fix what might bother you during the run for me it was a mod to improve pawn hauling
>>738026624CE makes killboxes even more important
>>738026041But he's right. Harder difficulties just force you to build killboxes and recruit an army of pawns. And if you do that, 500 % difficulty is just as easy as 50 %.
>>738020662Don't really care for mods outside of prepare carefully, or whatever it's called.Is Odyssey worth buying? These fucking DLCs are expensive.
>>738026624Yayos does the same thing without needing every mod to make a compat patch for it
>>738026992Completely false.
>>738027034yes. the spaceship base and shuttle are really nice. also just pirate it
>>738027087It's better than vanilla for sure, but I prefer CE.
>>738026624Just get the embrasures mod + breachable embrasures AI tweak bro
>>738027156I'm too old, too fat, too stupid and too lazy to redownload a torrent program and google a tpb proxy for it. But that would be the right way to do it
>>738026435What does the Dead Man's Switch series actually change? Is it one of those mods where if you are going to install it you better design your run around it, or can it be ambient?
>>738020662RJW+CE and im set for another 100+ hour run
>>738027506It adds pilotable mechs and shit for your pawns as well as a different 'genre' of mechanoids called automadroidsAnd yes I would say generally you won't get much benefit out of installing it unless you do a run around itbut that's virtually every rimworld mod
>>738027087>without needing every mod to make a compat patch for itthats barely even an issue nowadays, they have patches for every mod that matters at this point; the only ones they dont patch are those absurdly overpowered chink powerfantasy mods
>>738020662Dubs bad hygiene. I genuinely dont understand wheres the fun in managing your colonists poopshitting habits.>>738020710I really like CE's ammo system. It is pretty much the main reason i keep it installed (that and embrasures).I thought it'd be some retarded unneccessary tedium like the aforementioned shitter, but its really fun to arm your pawns with different rounds for different situations, like having the slavers carry beanbags in their combat shotguns or using gas grenades during a raid in launchers, instead of having a billion weapons all for a specific task each.I also have a weird liking to blazebulb farming for some reason.
>>738027987>Dubs bad hygiene. I genuinely dont understand wheres the fun in managing your colonists poopshitting habits.It's a really low-tedium mod that just makes your base and pawns seem more real. It doesn't really change anything, but I like it anyway. Also, it's fun to be able to punish characters by making them live in extreme squalor.
>>738020662>avoidrimjobworldit turns the game into a porn caricature of itself with how hard it turns everything into just>SEX SEX LOLL SEX ARENT YOU HORNY YET SEEXXXX!!!!
>>738020662All mods
>>738023237>CE hater>retardedyup, checks out
>>738028674The base mod alone doesn't do that.
>>738028674One of the most fun rimworld playthroughs i've had was a brothel run with hospitality and RJW. Thats pretty much the only reason i can see to use it where its genuinely a good addition.
>>738028674nigga just turn off quickies
>>738028906The way I like to play Rimworld is to start with naked brutality with two characters, a self-insert brother and a little sister, and give the little sister a permanent cum addiction.
>>738028674You can disable most things except the anus health item. It would be useful if rape or getting fucked by a big cock could destroy it, but it doesn't I don't get the point.
Does rape help pawns with shitty moods? Like if my colony had some rapeslaves would my guys stop moping about their dead spouses and friends?
>>738029459>Does rape help pawns with shitty moodsDepends on one extremely important factor
>>738029459Rapeslave replenishes their semen meter. However it also gives them the rapist personality trait in the long term. You can also designate an animal to be the reapeslave, which will also give them the zoophile trait, but they can get their rocks off before getting it.
>>738027987>>738028365I love making bathrooms for each of my pawns.
>>738020662>hidden gem modsI'm still undecided whether it's the best or worst idea I've had but I've been trying to complete a run with VOID and it's been a lot of fun (and pain) so far.
>>738029614I love making slaves live in a bathroom.
>>738028674>wild animal goes mad and approaches the colony>gets raped by zoophile instead without me needing to micromanage anythingThis has to be scripted it has happened a few times.
>>738020662The quarry mod. Infinite resources are stupid. Trading and using caravans to mine other map tiles (or just straight up abandoning your old colony) is intended gameplay.
>>738020818>>738023237>>738025574>>738025627>yes i want my 20 skill shooting colonist to still miss the easiest shots on earththe dumbest people always have the most explosive bad takes
>>738030203a shooting 20 pawn occasionally missing is better than getting steamrolled because the game sent one (1) scyther at you in the early game.
>>738030367just set some traps ffs. how are you guys this bad at the game?
>>738030172Doesn't the ground penetrating scanner already provide you with infinite resources?
>>738030172Couldn't agree more.
>>738030523Technically yes, but it is a much higher tech level so you can't abuse it early game, and the drill and power source has to be moved around constantly. You can't just set up a massive square of quarries inside your fortress. The quarry mod is Chinese in spirit compared to vanilla gameplay.
>>738030716you can*
>>738020662Run and gun. Just... why?
>>738030367A master shooter with a rifle failing to stop a single tribal before they beat him up with clubs is not very fun. Having to abandon a base, grab what you can, and rebuild on another tile because an alien terminator came after you actually is quite fun.
game got difficult and I stopped playing literally filtered
>>738030367Okay yes you are a dumb person with an explosively bad take>use AP rounds/use AP-HE rounds/use explosives>distance yourself against them>use emp weaponryetc
>>738030203No one has perfect accuracy, you dumb fucking indian pedophile.
>>738032313>>738032313there's that explosive reaction of a low iq midwit
>>738032346>no argumentI accept your concession :)Are you one of the devs of CE?
>>738020662I play with the ability to create custom characters.I get rid of of tainted clothes status cause that is stupid.The boats mod to cross the ocean.That is all I have ever used. I think modding this game too much makes it kinda meh.
>>738031442How did it get difficult?
>>738031271>use a rifle against a single target with one pawn rather than any of the faster firing weapons that have a statistically higher chance to hit due to their speed >"hurr why did i lose?"you use long range weapons rifles when you have a good frontline to defend the backline. not when you're in a 1v1from now on im going to assume that CE users all suffer from a massive collective skill issue and need a mod that makes the game more tedious so that they can just rush the "i win!" ammo.>>738031561wont have EMPs or high tech in the early game unless you rush.
>>738032963CE is an excellent mod even if you're too stupid to handle mechanoids.
>>738032963mechanoids aren't really early game in ce, even then you can use stick bombs and stuff
>>738031271
>>738033302qrd?
>>738033302That's how it works in Combat Extended. If this were vanilla Rimworld, you could replace that small room with an open field and give the cops sniper rifles, and the attacker would still make it to them.
>>738033346Dude with a shotgun sprints past security at an event where all the big shabbos in the US government including Trump Vance and the head of the FBI were. Cops and secret service can't land a single shot (on the runner, they did shoot their own).
>>738033502ps he slipped and fell and that's how they caught him, CE should have slipping mechanics
>>738033607You're right, the US army standard rifle should be replaced with a wooden club because they're about as effective.
just read the book it's all explained in there
>>738034929Tynan.... I kneel
>>738023316You can adjust the mod settings. You can make characters get horny less often, you can also make rape an option, which you should because rape is better than masturbation.
>>738020710The fact that I haven't played Rimworld in over 6 years and I remember this mod tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about the dev. So the combat is still shit in vanilla and no Z levels. WTF is the dev doing? From what I seen, his DLC are just paid mods at best lol.
>>738035457>you can also make rape an option, which you should because rape is better than masturbation.Thanks for the tip, Dinesh.
>>738035671Rimworld's combat is shit on purpose. Rimworld is intended to be a story generator and Tynan feels that tragedy and failure should be part of it, so the combat is very RNG. Your super soldier is never unstoppable, a pawn is always at risk of dying.
>>738035893>a pawn is always at risk of dying.And that's why you build a killbox to protect your precious pawns and ignore the cancerous combat altogether, and then you notice you're just playing a shitty tower defense.
>>738020710Funniest bit ever is the guy that exclusively plays on 500% no pause with no mods was finally convinced into trying it by his viewers and he cleared it first try completely blind and his main take away was it's just easier than vanilla.
>>738035893>Die and repeat after I name 20+ colonists Nah, I will not play vanilla.
>>738020662P-Music is the only mod on my list.
CE is pretty easy once you've got a 50 BMG and a quick dude.The mechanoids can't do anything vs that.
>>738020662do you niggas play with the Vanilla Extended stuff? some of it seems poorly balance or, like the antimaterial rifle that's able to attack enemies without prompting them to chase you, outright broken
why is this allowed
>>738036520I play with most of the new races and expanded empire. Not much else beacuse I don't like bloat. Except in genes. I want all the bloat there is when it comes to genes.
>>738036520The only Vanilla Expanded thing I use is the farming one for the hydroponics you can shape however you want.
>>738020710been playing rimworld vanilla for almost 1000 hours now. guess its time i try out CE. any other mods that purists like me should try?
>>738036520I play with some of the races and empire/deserters
CE + Dead man's switch seriesmedieval overhaul + fantasy addons for fantasy colonies
>>738036274>20+ colonistsWhy even bother playing at that point? No single pawn even matters then
>>738036973I group them by family
how would you improve on the formula?
>>738037021wait, you can group them?
>>738020662This is a really cool collection, it's intended for difficulty but overall it has mods I've really come to enjoy.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3067518137Specifically take:>Pocket Sand>Realistic Human Sounds>Serious Melee SOunds>Show Me Your Hands>Holsters>Muzzle Flash>Extra Explosion Effects>Death Acidifest>Blood Animations>Visual Brutality>Better Gene Inheritance>Ambient Rim>Rimbody>Live With The PainNon uno PinataOther cool mods:>Gunny Storyteller>Robotic Servitude>More Linkables/Even More Linkables>Ragdoll Physics>Glass+Lights>EvolvedOrgansRedux>Brain In A Jar>Luciferium Mood Boost>Advanced Battle Cloak>a lot of Xenotype mods (Rim-Hivers, Beliar, Geist, Nephilim, Det's Xenotypes)>All Production Gives XP>Rimfridge>Tech/Tribal Tattoos>Childhood/Elderhood Backstory>Cyberpsychosis>Simple Cape and Hood RetextureI think the only overrated mods would be a lot of the Vanilla Expanded series and Common Sense. Common Sense is a little too convenient, it completely trivializes the cleaning task for instance.CE can also be overwhelming, you might be more comfortable with Vanilla Combat Reloaded.
>>738037164its a UI mod, colony groups or something
Female pawns?
Anyone know what mod makes these?
>>738036173>and his main take away was it's just easier than vanilla.Naturally. It's not like vanilla is hard for good reasons. Guns just feel very weak and inaccurate. CE adding more accuracy and lethality will make it a lot easier, tribals can't even compete in CE.
>>738036962wait did ratkin get updated to 1.6 yet?
>>738037534All the relevant mods should be on 1.6 by now.
Odyssey > Biotech >>>>>>> Ideology = Royalty >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Anomaly
>>738037029vericalityrimworld gets boring after awhile because it's all flat plane and you can't go up or down in any meaningful way
>>738038479just play df then
>>738038479I'm not sure if that'd make the game better. With verticality, having to manage soace would be much easier, and gameplay and combat would become more confusing
>>738023316That's basically the problem with all mods that add new systems, the game is a time management game and as much as I like the idea of hygiene and water use mods it's adding more things you need to fit into the same day
Playing a Mechinator tickles the right bones, but I can never get to the high level mechs. I probably just need to get good and learn how to manage a high tech colony or something. It always feels like your devoting everything just to make that next mech.
>>738037404Probably Visual Brutality.
>>738038636It'd be nice to be able to go one step up and down at least, so you can have proper trenches, basements and guard towers.
Dead Man's Switch + Doberkin and WolfeinBecome a post industrial dystopia
>>738033502>they did shoot their ownI'm not surprised, cop on the bottom left was quick on the draw but was shooting directly at those women on the wall
>>738020662Any mods to replace the weird looking rounded doll avatars with something that looks better?
>>738040227Yeah, there are a few.
>>738040227Yes but in my opinion giving them limbs makes them even more uncanny
>>738033346A falseflag to justify a ballroom being built.
>>738040735Any recommendations?
