Hello and welcome everyone, to another Viking infographics post, this time going indepth into the unique weapons and armors viking faction will use.
Please note these are all craftable, so you can absolutely have your own viking clan, or just craft them out of plasteel and use them on your spacer space-marine colony! The beauty of modding this game is that all of this content can be just as well used in every scenario you can think of!

Hello everyone!
Development of the Vikings mod for Vanilla Factions Expanded series is coming to an end - the final beta will release in a few days and if no issues are found the mod will then proceed to release.
I have began preparing the mod description imagery that I'd like to show you guys. Please, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.

Hello everyone and welcome to a quite important development blog.
Over the past weeks we were wondering if we made the right decision back in the day to keep everything independent, and we have now came to a conclusion we really didn't.
To put it into perspective - we have spent weeks writing a very complex code for the Cuisine mods - Cooking and Brewing, allowing us to make complex production chains easily - which in turn keeps the game interesting for you, and easy to mod for ...

Hello and welcome everyone to another mod development diary, this time focused on what Kikohi, our lead map generation programmer, has been working on.
Our new framework which will be deployed alongside the Viking mod and will ultimately allow us to keep a library of structures we can easily spawn into the map to generate unique, interesting settlements that are a bit closer to realism than what you have in vanilla.
We will also release a mod remaking vanilla faction bases - trib...

Vanilla Plants Expanded - Succulents is an optional module for Vanilla Plants Expanded adding a variety of decorative plants, ideal to make your bases, houses, workstations and hospitals much prettier without having to maintain the flowerbeds. Succulents might provide only half of the beauty that flowers normally do, but their lifespan is three times as long, meaning your colonists won’t be forever busy with replacing flowers every few days.
Succulents are inspired by real life su...

Hello and welcome to the first of many Viking development blogs. As you know we had a few setbacks - one of them led to me removing the estimated dates from the roadmap indefinitely.

With a brand new utility item code introduced in RimWorld 1.2 update, I saw it as a perfect fit to make grenades be actually useful instead of forcing you to choose between a grenade and a rifle. By crafting grenade belts, you can now equip all vanilla and vanilla expanded grenade types on your pawn alongside any weapon you wish, and use them manually by selecting a special “throw grenade” button on the menu, next to the draft button.
You heard it right, now you can launch grena...

Vanilla Books Expanded is a mod allowing your colonists to pass their knowledge and skill to others. By writing a book about a particular field of science or skill, pawns will transfer their insights and knowledge, and when read, such books will train others in the same skill. Book reading is a new type of joy, with pawns picking up the books best suited for them based on their passions and skill sets, expanding on them whilst getting joy buffs.
Books feature complex descriptions, l...

Hello everyone and welcome to another development blog.
Today we will take a look at Vanilla Books Expanded, what the mods has to offer and how to play with it. It's in the final round of testing and if no errors come up I plan to release it as soon as possible, definitely in the coming week.
Without further a-do, lets read the infographics, together, out loud.

Hello everyone! I have prepared a little late roadmap for upcoming months. As you can see, I changed the way I present it - you no longer can see the estimated release dates, because there was hardly any point - now the new rule is: When it's done, it's done. Less stress for us, more mystery for you.

As some of you may know RimWorld 1.2 update is coming out, and it's coming out very soon: Sunday, maybe monday, if all goes well.
I have been working hard to update all the mods - luckily for the most mods it was a simple tag update, but some required a bit more extensive work. You will probably notice that by the time the update drop...

After playing the game for long enough, I have noticed that despite beards being such a great addition, they lacked in variety. When the game has over 200 hairstyles and only 15 beard styles, you begin to notice the same beard popping up even on several raiders at the same time.
This little module includes a number of beards to fit the holes I left with the original Vanilla Hair Expanded. You can find 10 new universal beards appearing on majority of vanilla factions, as well a...

Vanilla Brewing Expanded is an alcohol-oriented module in “Vanilla Cuisine Expanded” from the Vanilla Expanded team, notably Sarg Bjornson, Oskar Potocki and Chowder. Whilst other mods such as Vanilla Plants Expanded and Vanilla Fishing Expanded work well as standalone, due to technical limitations Vanilla Brewing Expanded requires the Core cooking mod.
We made sure to keep the mechanics of this mod intuitive without ruining the spirit of vanilla gameplay. All elements off...

Hello everyone!
Just a quick Patreon update.
I am still alive. Work on the flat is finished. I have also been finding more and more time to do modding lately.
HTTYD: Race to the Rim mod is in deep development and I can't wait to let you guys test it. Some of those dragons are really amazing.
Mass Effect mod is currently on hold until we can release the backlog of mods.
Vanilla Cuisine Expanded: Brewing is coming to a wrap and should be released very soon.

Hello everyone and welcome to a quick update I am writing to inform you about the current circumstances.
I have just moved 3 days ago into a much larger flat that will finally allow me to host regular public livestreams and the likes.
The problem is, due to COVID-19 there is a massive backlog of ISP customers in the queue, which unfortunately means I will only get broadband plugged in on 20th of August (!).
Now, it wouldn't be a problem, but the flat I'm in barely has any ser...

I'd like to inform you that I am moving out today and I will become unavailable for the upcoming couple of days. Don't worry, everything will still work as normal - you can expect to immediately be invited to our discord when you subscribe to a discord-oriented tier, and programmers are hard at work at cracking the remaining code for Brewing, How to train your Dragon megamod as well as Vikings faction, more on those soon.

Me and Chowder have been hard at work, making sure that the mod offers a variety of unique alcohols, each with a different method of fermentation and effects upon consumption, as well as ways to profit off of those. Today we will discuss what Ambrandy is.
