The only alternative is RimSort.

Any good alternative for abandoned Rimpy?

this does not work. it took over 100 mods removed them from my list and replaced them with older versions. such a nightmare.

this isnt a mod
its version doesnt matter

this "file" was tagged with several rw versions that didnt exist and had those tags removed sometime ago by force by a workshop moderator

It says up to 1.5 here, yet when downloaded it says 1.6 in rimworld. So i can confirm it's updated even if it doesn't say.

This isn't abandoned. The app is separate from the actual game; it's essentially a launcher.

Rimworld could update way past 1.6 and this would still work perfectly.

dds conversion worked fine for me up until ~1 or 2 month ago.
Since then, dds wrong files/error.

The .dds thing is weird. If RimPy has not been updated, then why does Graphics Setter suddenly have a problem with the way the RimPy does textures?

On the bright side, RimPy takes about 3 hours to encode all my textures from start to finish, but RimSort only takes about 10 minutes, which is very odd.

Since the release, I continued playing with RimPy and did not notice any deviations in its operation.
Sorting works, no errors. I have about 60 mods, maybe that's why. I also read that people have problems with converting to dds

it still works though???

RIP RimPy

You're not suppose to put the DB in your active list.

Read the description.

the game version is flashing yellow

this database doesnt care about version

1.6 UPDATE PLEASE!

I'm having a problem with both Rimpy and Rimsort, the Steam API won't initialize and it failed to auto detect the paths on both, so I had to fill it in manually. I'm on Ubuntu 24.04. I used to be on Linux Mint, and Rimpy worked like a charm there, but unfortunately they didn't support graphics drivers for my card on there. Any help would be appreciated.

at this point id switch to rimsort its been working great and its sort lists stay updated and it has built in "use this instead" databases and its actually maintained actively by the community of modders.

verifying file integrity worked, thanks!

yeah It told me my versions are not matching and then corrupted all the mods. But didn't give me any information on how to fix so ive been trying to get Rimpy to forget its currently installed mods so i can get them to download fresh.

Will keep that in mind, thanks.

oh and to fix broken downloads
assuming your using steam itself for downloads
delete your workshop file for rw and tell steam to verify
it will redownload everything

all ether of them do
is write to your mod configs
Unless you tell them to
they do not touch your mod files unless you use their downloaders or texture optimizers

Tried Rimsort one time.

It corrupted every. single. Mod I had installed.

thats ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MODS I now have to fix.

Stick to Rimpy. it actually works. >_>

Thanks!

@VitaKaninen The mod: [Silerra] High quality textures will give you DDS support while graphics setting is being updated.

@Lightfox Lowell but Graphics Setting + has not been updated to 1.6 yet. Are you still using the 1.5 version with no issues?

Greetings peeps. Rimpy's texture tool is currently making the high texture mode show red boxes.

I hate rimsort, mostly because it's usability is trash throwing an error about databases when you first start it.

But it's texture tool IS working. SO you can just grab it, use it's texture tool, then use rimpy for everything else.

rimworlds in game auto sorting reads about file rules so the more modders add to their in about file rules the better it is
the problem that created rimpy was no one wanted to help report said rules to modders so they reported them to rimpy instead
on the rimsort discord we made an effort to cull rules from the database and report them to modders if needed so modders could add them directly

for mods not in rimpys database it reads these about file existing rules and nothing else
for mods IN rimpys database it uses the database over the about file rules entirely which is where the complaints about "outdated database" come from
cause its reporting rules that no longer exist

Apparently the in game mod sorting is pretty good now too?

I tried it's auto sort after running rimpy and it didn't change the load order at all so take that for what you will.

The rest of Astasia quote:

[Part 2 ]

King of Blades: "Rimsort is superior in every single category and is exactly as difficult to "install" as rimpy is. Plus it's actually being maintained, it's open source, and it's not from Russia."

This is the sort of comment that makes me never want to recommend Rimsort. It doesn't have the effect you think it does. Not all the comments I've heard about Rimsort have been as toxic and baseless, but I've seen enough of them that I start to wonder where that comes from and why I would want to engage with such a thing

On that note it was stated best a month ago by Astasia, and I shall paraphrases since there is a character cap:

[ PART 1 ]

RimPy still works as well as it always has. A lot of people seem to misunderstand the "database" aspect as being something that needs to be updated on the workshop, but it's not, that's basically just a "primer" and the actual database is updated independently based on sorting rules other users upload. Typically new major mods, like Vanilla Expanded ones, have sorting rules added to the database pretty quickly.

The actually application really doesn't need any updating, it doesn't interact with the game files and only really manages a basic XML list config file. It shouldn't need any further support until/unless that config file structure changes at some point in the future which is unlikely.

RimPy works fine and there has never been reported issues of malicious software with it.

Don't use if you don't want to but step off with the tired trope of fear mongering it.

I have come to the conclusion that when one is terminally online, the addiction to having your every thought and opinion conveniently spoon-fed to you makes it so that the idea of pursuing even the most basic of knowledge out of your own volition seems burdensome and exhausting.

no one reads descriptions lol

The mod should not be in your active mods list. It should always be disabled.

Got one red text saying "Mod RimPy Mod Manager Database did not load any content." What should I do besides disabling rimpy?

1.6?

Note the community rules are not the same format

It looks like RimPy uses the same format, so I'd say back up your RimPy db just in case and give it a shot.

These are the database links
https://github.com/RimSort/Community-Rules-Database
https://github.com/RimSort/Steam-Workshop-Database

Then your guess is as good as mine, because I can't seem to find where they put their DB on the git so I can't open and check to see if they are using the same format as RimPy

That is how RimSort works. You clone a git of their database via the RimSort options.

Rimsort uses an external DB, you have to request access to their git or clone their git if you wish to touch their DB at all.

You are better off just updating RimPy's local DB as it's just a DB file.

It does work in 1.6, but I have added a few hundred mods since the last time this was updated.

I expect that RimSort has better sorting, since the database is likely to be more up-to-date, even if RimPy has more/better features. I use RimSort to sort the mods, then swap back to RimPy and hit refresh, and use RimPy as my mod manager.

If you could people would have said so long long ago.

Btw folks this works for 1.6, there has been no change. You're not suppose to load this into your mod list.

Please read the instructions carefully.

Does anyone know if / how you can use the rules from RimSort in RimPy?

@filipfrantz same here, same here

Hoping that rimpy finally gets updated, because rimsort is actual garbage

1.6?
