Hey guys, this is the roadmap for our current projects. There have been a few changes, so let me explain them down below for the sake of transparency:
Vanilla Factions Expanded - Classical suffered a bit of a set back - our lead programmer working on it had to leave the modding scene completely without wrapping up the project, due to personal reasons. I completely understand that, and this is not the first time Vanilla Expanded had a situation like tha...

Hello folks! Howdy!
Today I'm announcing a new mod we are working on. It's called Frontier weapon pack and it's purpose is simple - overhaul the Settlers faction, but also provide players without Settlers mod with new interesting weapons.
This mod comes with hooks to almost all of our other weapon mods. This means that if a specific mod is found in your load order, some new weapons will be added to it.
Lets start with the basics.

Hello folks and welcome to another Typical Tuesday Suggestions thread.
I'd like to hear how you would like to populate this year with new mod ideas. What sort of things would you like to see us expand now knowing that even Vehicles are getting a mod soon!
The more details you give, the better!

What's up guys and gals, welcome to another Development blog. Today I spent the whole day working on some more RimWorld merchandise, which should be soon available at www.preparecarefully.com
The images you see are designs for 20oz travel mugs and will be printed on steel.
The Vanilla Expanded watermark will not be there on the final design.
Price etc is still to be negotiated with a supplier, but I'd like to hear your opinion on the designs themselves.
Thanks guys!

Hey folks and welcome to another development diary. This time you won't see too many images, in fact, none, as this devblog is focused solely on how we plan to expand social interactions in our new upcoming mod which should release this month if all goes to plan.

Vanilla Social Interactions Expanded means to bring much more needed life to your pawns as well as the overall world map. This mod alters what pawns do in their spare time, adds some much needed...

As you could have seen in the latest devblog, we currently have a list of vehicles we are 100% adding to the mod. However, I wouldn't be myself if I didn't give you a chance to force me to add some more!
Vote now them, only one vote per person, and the 2 vehicles with the most votes will also be added!

Hello folks. I have gone through all your ideas for Vanilla Vehicles Expanded and I have whitelisted some I'd definitely want added, as well as came up with some myself. Don't worry though, all the rest of the ideas that are feasible will be released in a survey today, where you can vote which ones I should pick back up again!

Vanilla Weapons Expanded - Coilguns is an addition to one of the most popular mods of Vanilla Expanded collection - Vanilla Weapons Expanded, however it can be played without it. This mod adds a selection of spacer-tech weapons, fully craftable upon researching mass drivers technology. Coilguns come with a unique gimmick - whilst their firing speed and aiming time are quite unforgiving, projectiles fired from these weapons pierce any target they hit - flesh or metal, as well as any obstacles....

Hello folks! Welcome to today's development blog about an update incoming to Vanilla Armors Expanded.
I worked with Logger, Chowder and Avery to bring a nice breath of fresh air to one of our older mods. It never quite ticked with us that there is a Heavy Marine armor, but not Heavy Cataphract or Heavy Recon armors.
So, in the upcoming update, we are renaming heavy Marine Armor to Siegebreaker armor. We are also adding a prestige variant of it if you have Royalty DLC!

Howdy folks!
We are far enough into developing Rim-Effect that it’s time to break the news to people.
Rim Effect is a large overhaul mod series, adding the story, races, objects, and conflicts of Mass Effect universe into RimWorld. The Mass Effect elements are not meant to stand out, and as such will be blended into the RimWorld style by utilising the same naming conventions and writing styles, as well as making sure it all makes sense in relation to RimWorld lore.
Much like ...

Hello folks! A little teaser of a mod I'm working on with a fellow patron - Avery!
RimWorld primer mentions Coilguns alongside Charged weapons as industrial-to-spacer level weaponry. Sadly, coilguns are not present in the game anymore. Well, that will soon change!

Hello everyone! I promised you some big news a while ago, and it's about time I deliver!
It was all under wraps until we had something to show, but me and Roolo (author of Giddy-up, Dual Wield, What the Hack, Run and Gun and Search and Destroy mods) have started our own video game design studio - Cracklewock Games.

Remember how I said the Temperate animals mod was the last one? Well, people lie. There is still a few animals around the world that we did not yet make into actual RimWorld animals - and this time we have decided to also raise awareness of the big issue in our world - endangered species and animal conservation.
From pandas and pangolins to already extinct tasmanian tigers and quaggas, you can now help with animal conservation in RimWorld. These animals, just like in our world, are enda...

Hello everyone!
Just a quick heads-up. We have just deployed an update to Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Security, removing all issues in regards to performance. This mod now works flawlessly in late game, with thousands of pawns even. Well, that's overselling it.
But seriously, it's all fixed now.

I have another little preview for you all, on a mod that's in final stages of development.
Smash Phil has been working very hard on a special vehicle framework that we will 100% utilise to deliver Vanilla Vehicles Expanded to you. Remember how you've been suggesting all these cool vehicle ideas? Well, I plan to make sure they see daylight!

One of the first mods I ever came up with, and one that took the longest to design, draw, code and deliver, Vanilla Factions Expanded - Mechanoids is a mod unlike any other. A group of talented modders came together to make sure this mod is not only full of new interesting content, but also provides something to make the game a bit more dynamic.
We have improved on the Custom Settlement Generation code to provide you with semi-random spaceships that Mechanoids can use to wreak havoc on...
