Typical Tuesday Suggestions - 15/06/2021

Maybe going by the number of subscribers would be best while taking into account the amount of time it would take to update them. Personally i would only play the new version of rimworld when all the major mods i use get updated, so i can't talk for everyone. The other option that you could consider is focusing on the mods that people take when starting a new playthrough. In other words, mods that can be added to existing saves could be updated later, since people wouldn't have to start new playthroughs to use them.

Probably Framework and Furniture first. A lot of other mods depend on them, so updating those will let others update in turn. After that? Probably Factions. Save animals for last, as they can wander in on games in-progress.

I like factions the most. They offer the most immersion and diversity for me to remain interested in the game. They are also bigger and will take longer so getting them out sooner would be better. The rest of the mods could then be done relatively quickly so there isn't much time waiting between the larger and smaller mods. (I assume, I admittedly know very little about modding)

Leo Durocher

Ooh, exciting! I'd like to see the base Framework stuff and the Furniture modules (particularly Power) done first - because they fit into just about any themed mod pack. Followed closely by the improved already in-game factions (Mechs and Insectoids).

Pahanda

The weapons and armor would probably be the easiest, generally i'd start with the easiest (and therefor, fastest) ones to update first (besides the framework lol)

John Labuda

Well in my opinion I love Insectoids and Mechanoids expanded, I think they add a lot of new and interesting content so i'd like those.

Kira

The holy trifecta, being Apparel, Weapons, and Armor expanded main modules respectively. These could be possibly among the quickest and easiest to do compared to other mods like factions and the likes. These could also provide a bit of content while waiting for the larger ones.

LoggerC4

The framework (?) xD The ones i use more right now would be Rimeffect, Power, Security, Social and Traits. I think And, congrats of being tester for whatever Tynan is making now.

Federico Torres

I generally play VE for the additional content (items, buildings, etc.) added to the base game, rather than the various scenarios/storytellers. So, my biased opinion is to prioritize the former category first. =P From a developer standpoint, I'd simply advise that you prioritize the mods that require the least amount of effort first. At this point, part of the appeal to VE is its wide array of mod choices. Having more mods available out the gate seems preferable to any specific one.

Jakdaw Foxlauden

Honestly, to me it depends on whether or not all the mods are uniformly difficult to update or not. If some will be easier to update, I say pick the low lying fruit first and work your way up the hardest ones. If it's all pretty much the same, definitely the faction mods first, (especially mechanoids, that one fits so well the game feels a bit empty without it, IMO), because they've got a little bit of everything.

RIP Vehicles overhaul. As a rule of thumb, i would say any vanilla mod that interacts with the psycasts or psychic sensitivity, as I suspect that is going to get some yardwork done to it one way or another. I would say that puts the ME mods to the top of that list

Venusgate

I think faction mods should be done first since they're the biggest mods and have the most stuff that can break, then furniture mods and weapons and clothing

Zac

i like furniture the most, then plants, then cooking. then whatever suits you

123nick

I would say the Factions, then the core mods (Weapons and Furniture, but not the submodules), Armor and Apparel. Next the other standalone mods (Events, Storytellers, Plants/Fishing/Cooking), and leave the rest for last.

Lyn the Cookie

Vanilla Christmas Expanded

Brian Lang

I say furniture, events, social interactions (and maybe weapons), first because people's playstyles depend on these more than on the existence of certain factions (maybe apart from Mechanoids). In my opinion, factions and storytellers do not enhance the game as much as furnitures, events and social interactions do. The named ones are more unique than factions and storytellers.

Christian G.

Bro I just want the Reapers, lol

100% agree with this

AdRam

Isn’t the job position still open? ;)

Oskar Potocki

In my opinion, in order of priority; Factions Storytellers Events Animals Weapons Furniture

Michael Fisher

I’m 60% confident the update brings some sort of multiplayer functionality to the game - Tynan had requested experienced developers in the field a while back.

faction mods perhaps

Cannula weapons and armour first
