14 Best RimWorld Mods 2019

Last updated on November 30, 2019, By Ahmet Babacan

Early access games on Steam have been a topic of debate. Majority of the early access titles died down during the development or developers stopped working on them completely. But luckily, there are a couple of developers that truly give their best to communicate with their community and develop the game based on the players’ response, creating a unique masterpiece on the way. Darkwood, Streets of Rogue, Slay the Spire, so on and so forth. Rimworld is on the list too, and it is really high up there. It currently sits on the 2nd place amongst all early access titles, with 20,000 reviews with %97 of them being positive, just below Factorio. Today, we will list some of the rimworld best mods.

Ludeon Studios’ sci-fi colony simulator has been a huge hit, with detailed, funny, unique gameplay that changes every time you play it, random events, crazy AI storytellers and much more. Given the love for the game and how simple it is to mod it, there are already tons of mods for the game for different desired outcomes. From the quality of life improvements to complete overhauls, there are a lot of mods.

Best RimWorld Mods of 2019


1. EdB Prepare Carefully

Best Rimworld Mods

This best mod for rimworld lets you choose your starting colonists’ name, stats, traits, appearance, equipment, everything. It also lets you choose your starting pets and resources. You can limit what you can choose if you are adventurous, or remove the limit to try that starting squad you always wanted.

2. Glitter Tech

Best Rimworld Mods

This mod for Rimworld extends upon the worlds that are mentioned in the game called “glitter worlds”. It gives you a lot more, highly-advanced end-game items such as high-tech energy weapons and armor, advanced bionic limbs and organs, advanced recipes and resources, powerful turrets and automatic mortars, wall lights, windows and blast doors and much more. It also adds a number of factions from these glitter worlds. But of course, these expensive technologies often catch the attention of big corporations, and given the fact that you’ll have really high-tech stuff, they are extremely powerful as well. With this, you’ll have richer end-game experience, with better end-game gear and more powerful end-game enemies.

3. Hospitality

Best Rimworld Mods

Except for kidnapping enemies, buying slaves and some random event here and there, you won’t see a lot of new faces in your colony in Rimworld. Except for reproduction of course, but that takes time. Ever wondered what you can do with those visitors that wander around your base? With Hospitality mod, you can build guest rooms and beds for visitor and can even convince them to join your colony. These visitors can even help you enhance your relationships with other factions if you take care of them.

4. Less Arbitrary Surgery

Best Rimworld Mods

RNG can be a devil in games. You have a sniper with %98 accuracy and %99 critical hit chance, and he manages to miss entirely. It is super cringy sometimes.

Rimworld uses a fair bit of RNG, but one of the most annoying areas can be surgery. Even the best colonists with high medicine skills can perform a “ridiculous” surgery failure and manage to completely annihilate your already-injured colonist. This Rim World mod reduces the RNG factor and makes surgeries less arbitrary (hence the name of the mod). If they fail the first time, it gives the surgeon a second chance to try again with non-lethal injuries. If they fail an implant, they will give you that body part back instead of completely deleting it. If your real life RNG is not that strong and you do not want to lose it during game’s surgeries, this mod is a good choice for your sanity.

5. Dubs Bad Hygiene

Best Rimworld Mods

While Rimworld does a great job creating a realistic gameplay system with tons of details on skills, moods, character traits, resource management et cetera, it misses one odd yet obvious point: toilets and showers!

Yes, there are no toilets, sinks and showers in the vanilla game. There is a reason for this, since adding a new mechanic without changing other activity times will make the harder by making a day shorter, since your colonists will ned 1 hour to shower, pee etc. So using this Best Rimworld mod will give a lot more trouble, but if you are after that true realism, this mod adds a lot of hygiene options.

6. Realistic Rooms

Best Rimworld Mods

While your colonists’ needs, complaints and traits make the game more fun, some of their unrealistic and outright annoying needs can become tedious sometimes. Such as how they want big bedrooms for their certain needs. We are trying to survive in a random planet here, not going on a holiday.

Realistic Rooms reduces the required room sizes to better match realistic sizes of a house which makes things more manageable.

7. Hand Me That Brick

Best Rimworld Mods

Do not get fooled by the funny name of this mod. It actually fixes a small-yet-serious problem about the building mechanism of the game. Normally, your builder both carries the resources and build the thing. With this mod, you can make Haulers deliver resources to blueprints and construction frames, making building much less tiring experience for your builders.

Download


8. ModSwitch

Best Rimworld Mods

We talked about a lot of mods, mainly the more essential ones; but whether you downloaded overhauls or quality of life improvements for the game, not all of them are compatible and changing between them manually can be tiring or sometimes completely crash your saves. A mod switcher comes very hand in this situation. ModSwitch allows you to restore a saved list of mods, save the current list of active mods and load a ModSet from a savegame and much more.

9. Colony Manager

Best Rimworld Mods

In a colony sim like Rimworld, the more time you spend, the bigger your colony becomes. Sure, you start with a couple of people but that changes drastically, fast. Manually controlling literally hundreds of people, animals and mechanics can be overwhelming. Colony Manager adds hunting, forestry and livestock jobs and lets you set certain target values for those workers, leaving you unworried about manually hunting, designating a lumber and taming/butchering your livestock. Plus, you can set certain colonists as managers, and they can assign new jobs and check if the assigned designations are still up-to-date, and make changes or delete designations where required. They do not touch manually set designations, so you are still the boss, do not worry. Since it adds new jobs, it requires a new save.

10. Defensive Positions

Best Rimworld Mods

Defending your base is an important part of the game. Afterall, you spent hours building it and now raiders are coming to get it. If you have a lot of colonists, this can be a bit tedious. You have to place them one by one tactically for maximum efficiency. With Defensive Positions, your colonists will remember their position during a base defense. You can send them to their positions with a single click. You can also designate keys to quickly create and select groups of colonists. You can save up to 4 defensive positions so if your base has multiple entrances or you have to fall back during a defense.
