Please VOTE for this collection!
Only so it rise in the steam preview - there are to much lazy collections on top.

I builded this collection for me because i tried out several others which had nearly all big flaws and bugs. I tried to address that with this list.



Since mid Novenber Empire and Save our Ship 2 are compatible.
This list build around this both mods trying to give the ultimate SciFi experience which is Nov, 2020 possible (which tells you something about all that pre november collections with CE, Empire and SOS2 claiming it will run).
With 2 goals in mind:
- make it playable performance wise
- still be balanced
- add mods which are compatible and even not only compatible but enhancing each other

Version 4.6 (18.12.20)
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2295724271/2969524118000501676/

Because a list like this with around 400 mods will usually become mid game an unplayable slide show. We also skipped some group of mods which will have in the end a bad effect on your game without adding to much new.

Because Empire and SOS2 define a kind of game play and science grow which will, when broken, destroys their game play.

Mods can either be compatible or not. But compatible alone only means they do not bug out the game, usually they just exist next to each other, adding their own game element. The other kind of mods aware of other major mods and chain or patch them so all works smooth together. If we can, we use the last type of mods, even when they have a feature less because in the end they give the player much more.

This mod list, properly installed, will startup the game with one red line (when you have development mode activ, from Rimfeller, its a false positive invoked by DocWorld) and no exception. Creating a world, prepare and landing should give usually just one another red warning. There *can* be Exceptions by real ruins, which just tell you that they skipped some incompatible items. The game will drop only a few debug lines which are mostly from mods telling you in that way they skipped stuff, often items or body parts which are not fit both. That will not harm your game.

Ticks per Second: I have a strong computer but just 4 core (i/-6700k) and i get max TPS (ticks per second) at start and the first 1-2 years. Even when using dev mode and creating a example colony with like 30-50 pawns, i get up to 600. Be warned, having alot harmed pawns will trigger the health tasks, which all, vanilla or mod, eat up alot frames. Ensure a good health for your pawn for the health of your game.


Yes and no. There are some kind of mods we have NOT added. Thats for example:

- no biome mods
- no race mods, no race mod frameworks
- no extra animal mods beside AA, dinosaurs and megafauna (you need not more, this are compatible with other mods we use)
- no Android mod (we have Robots)
- no Combat Extended

No races and no additional biomes and animals (no VE animals) is critical. Do NOT add them. Androids are also races, we have robots instead. You do not need both. You will BECOME them. This mod adds so many protheses, genetic modifications and cyber stuff, you will make your kind of androids out of your pawns. Do not add more animals, every mod more will harm your frames.

CE will not work. To much good mods from this list will not fit. CE is still not compatible with some, named SOS2 (torpedo bug). Its also no fun with such a list like this. Because there are so many weapon types in, you either use CE without ammo (which is buggy with many mods) or you will end up with 40 pawns each using their own ammo type, which will make you mid game an ammo industrial.

Yayo's Combat 3 can be played save with or without ammo modus and will only add 5 base types. It will be a bit wierd first when you know CE but you will see its alot better playable.

I skipped some mods because game balance, but you can add them if you like (or remove some)
- Rock Trader (to trade chunks, add that mode right above DocWorld)
- SRTS Expanded mods, add them after SOS2 (remember they are not 100% compatible with SoS2, read their wiki)

- real ruins
- Coal Expanded
- Expanded Materials - Metals
- RimPlas (you have to remove ghost gear too)
- every mod which adds tabs or textures
- special item mods - but check first, some are needed

** remove "Map Reroll" and "More Planning" after you are done with them **

There a several mods which are not compatible. 99% of all collections do not care, we do.
Gunplay - will not work with SoS2 and add more bad effects with this list
Glass+Light - SoS2 not compatible
CE - not compatible
Hero Pawns - will make the game freeze
Tech mods like Glitter Tech or other uber tech end game mods will destroy the game play. SoS2 *is* your uber end game tech mod, adding more will kill the end game.

ALOT other mods you miss are usually incompatble or added by the patch mods like DocWorld.

*DO NOT ADD MORE MODS EXCEPT YOU ARE AN EXPERIENCED MODDER*

We have alot patchers added, loading times are around 7-8 minutes on my system. Research Tab have an "sort by tech level" options, that activated will increase it 3 times. Be warned.

To make this list work, you have to add performance fixed mods from Dubs discord and 2 special mods from github,

Yes, you HAVE to add them. You can skip this. Your game will become slowly unplayable.
*YOU CAN'T exchange normal workshop mods with fix list mods mid game. They are not compatible and WILL kill your save file*
You have to make this now or you suffer without.
You are be warned and only once.

Fix-List Mods HowTo
Get the mods and a small tutorial here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2295724271/2969524118002954609/

Install RimPy Mod Manager
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1847679158

Now import this load list to RimPy Mod Manager
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C0jk8vPZz7ODCH3Mqa2DTOuasHX100dn/view?usp=sharing

When you hit the import button, you will see to which directory you have to copy this file.
** DO NOT USE AUTO SORT - It will break the game **

* YOU WILL GET PERHAPS WARNINGS ABOUT NEWER MODS AVAIBLE (like Achtung!) *
Ignore that, when the newer steam version has the performance fixes, the discord team will remove the fix list version, if there is a fix list mod, it means the original author still not fixed his mod.

an advice: I suggest that you add for every other mod a local copy. OR you zip your steam mod directory to make a copy of all installed mods. Playing this list will last long, you can manually select and fix the rimworld version itself in steam but not mods.

After you started the game the first time, you have to setup the mods and restart.
