Important Announcement before the update!

All Vanilla Expanded Mods Now Compatible with RimWorld 1.6 & Odyssey DLC!

We're excited to announce that all Vanilla Expanded mods are now updated and fully compatible with RimWorld 1.6 and the Odyssey DLC. This massive update involved over 100 mods, with both minor tweaks and major rewrites, and we’re proud to say everything is ready ahead of the DLC launch.

While we’ve done extensive testing, some issues may have slipped through. If you encounter any bugs, please use our free bug reporting tool (Google Forms) to let us know - it really helps us keep things running smoothly.

A few important notes:

• Vanilla Vehicles Expanded will be updated once the Vehicles Framework by Smash Phil is updated.

• Vanilla Furniture Expanded – Security is not yet compatible. We're currently remaking the entire mod, so there’s no point updating the old version. Do not use it on 1.6 - it will break your save.

• Vanilla Factions Expanded – Ancients and Mechanoids users: You cannot carry over 1.5 saves using these mods into 1.6. We are remaking both mods:

• Ancients will become a questline mod, retaining most of the same content (including the starting scenario), now delivered through multi-stage quests.

  • Mechanoids will be split into a Mechanoid faction mod and a Factory furniture mod.

  • Do not wait for those mods to start your 1.6 game. Their development is mostly getting started so it will take months before they're anywhere near release date.

What's next?

We’ve got exciting plans for Odyssey! We're starting small and focused - releasing a handful of high-quality, content-rich mods that showcase our interconnected design philosophy. While some prefer smaller, modular mods, we believe in offering deep and layered free DLC-like experiences and it's perfectly fine too.

We'll be taking a short development break to enjoy the Odyssey DLC ourselves. After all, we can’t expand the vanilla if we don’t play the vanilla.
