Music Expanded Core

This is the beginning (core mod) of a series of music expansions meant for several purposes. Most importantly; this is free music for players to use alongside their favorite major overhauls / themes. Enjoy a bare bones Neolithic play style? Now you have a new soundtrack to immerse yourself further into the role play! If you're like me and you use Androids and Glitterworld mods to make it as Sci-fi as possible, now we have a Glitterworld soundtrack! Maybe you're going to stream a Fantasy playthrough on Twitch... you can play the Medieval / Fantasy soundtrack without worrying about copyright claims. ALL this music is either under my own label, or Creative Commons. I've even released the albums to download for free so you could theoretically use it for really anything involving Rimworld. Maybe you played without music and you want to add one of the battle tracks in post at just the right moment; go for it! I do ask respectfully that you always credit Music Expanded in some way, examples: a link to the workshop, literal credits - Music by Justin Marshall Elias, a link to the Ko-Fi, or a link to the Discord Sever. No you don't have to I suppose... I suppose you also don't have to brush your teeth, or make your bed, or I mean... why really do anything? Why should I even finish this sen-

This is a mod... for mods, in a way. This started as an inclination I had to contribute to the Rimworld modding community, but I felt useless as my life skills are pretty firmly wrapped around music and sound. Blah blah blah, I met a bunch of cool people in the Rim Market, and suddenly this idea of creating entirely new music for specific Overhauls seemed plausible. Now here we are... and all it took was months of music writing and a crew of talented mod makers. So what about the original soundtrack? I respect and LOVE the Rimworld OST. Alistair Lindsay in my opinion did a perfect job with the score. This is not a replacement soundtrack, this is an attempt to breathe even more life into some of the amazing mods feeding the community. No one composer can write music for a game that can essentially be all other games. And when it comes to more Vanilla Rimworld style music, Peppsen (P-Music) has already made an incredible list of additional tracks. This mod will not interplay with the Original Soundtrack, but you will need to turn the music dial back up. Remember when you turned it down so you could listen to YouTube? You were like... 1,534 hours in and lost track of what day it was.



Wow, I just released this, entitled much? Joking aside... YES there will be more! Currently in the works are Archotech, Steampunk, and Wasteland. That being said, your support would be incredibly helpful. The link to the Music Expanded Server is below, as well as the donation page. Being on the server and having a voice... telling me what you would like next or what you feel might be missing from a score, or just geeking out about music with me is going to be helpful. For those that do donate, there's a private thread where I'll be making special songs for supporters, teaching lessons, breaking down some of my songs, and whatever else we think of! Certain genres I will be making regardless of any community support; but some styles, like a Heavy Metal Viking theme, require musicians and vocalists... some endeavors would just be too daunting without a budget. So I'll set Ko-Fi goals accordingly.



A couple hours of new music for each respective theme. I will be adding more music just for fun, and of course by request from our supporters. You're also getting 4 unique battle cues dependent on the scale of the battle, and a few unique alerts and such to fit the theme. Also there may or may not be secret songs that only play during certain events... hm, I wonder... hm.



Along with this original music package, I created a really awesome Spotify playlist for those who use Spotify. I couldn't imagine doing an entire new soundtrack for Midworld as it's pretty closely aligned with the Vanilla OST, so instead I used my knowledge of scoring films to pick a cool selection of music for your enjoyment. Juuuuuuuust in case some of you don't know... just turn off the music in Rimworld and shuffle the playlist in the background. I recommend 50% volume.

One of the reasons for this mod I haven't mentioned specifically yet is my hope to work with other mod makers. If you have an Overhaul coming out, lets use Silent Hill as a random example, we would love to talk with you about adding professional music or sound design. Let's really make some of these mods three dimensional and continue to show off the cool framework Rimworld provides.

What if I do get a copyright claim or any similar problems?

Please message me personally on Discord or via Email as that should absolutely not be happening. Either YouTube is up to their shenanigans or someone is falsely claiming to be me. The only time you should be hearing from me in your comments should be something like, "Yeah awesome! Thanks for using the mod!"

Helped quickly convert the music files to ogg to support Linux players and reduce the file size of the mod greatly!

P.S. Neolithic will be out on Bandcamp as soon as I can get to it. This page will look more professional soon! Long story short, daunting times right now and life really didn't want me to release this. So please go into this knowing personally I just want to add more content for more people, we'll be doing our best with bugs. Again... if you have feedback and want to discuss music preferences and such, we'd love to have you at the discord. If this music just isn't your thing, no worries, more music choices to come, please just keep being you and spreading the love. We need it! Kindness! Woot woot!
