Enjoyable?

[schnappkatze]

Yes. I'd actually advice to play without DLCs at first so you can better enjoy and appreciate the content they bring.

This. Also the game gets much more complex with the DLCs

Ok great, thanks lads

Royalty - well it is worth with some mods, pure royalty is a just framework for modders.
Ideology - a mood simulator, not worth at all imo.
Biotech - overpriced.

Generally game is more enjoyable with mods, that DLC's are just average.

i disagree with all this, but that being said i also thinks its a rare case where if you dont enjoy the base game the dlc will change that

absolutely most of my 200 hours i have with this game on my previous now defucnt account were before the game even had any dlc, its a lovely game to relax to.

For a f2p enjoyer like you that's surely the case


Don't listen to this clown op if you like modded rimworld and can affort spending a bit of money to support the dev AND get hours of discovering fun content + access to even more top quality mods at the same time, i'd suggest you to get all DLC's

[Darzai]

With all the DLC (Biotech included), the game can be quite overwhelming I think for new players.

[Jaasrg]

Definitely.
There's no real incentive to get it all at once either since dev doesn't want to devalue their product by sales.
Best you can hope is, what, 10% off from base game?

I've been playing it off and on for years without any DLC and only a handful of mods.

Consider the DLC as being content tailored specifically for experienced players that want something "different" and more expansive than typical mods. No DLC is "required" for any quality of life or gameplay improvement - They're add what they say they add and that's it.

My advice is to play completely Vanilla for a few colonies, start adding mods that don't change the gameplay much but add quality of life improves, like numbers tab, mini map etc, start playing colonies with dlcs, royalty runs, ideology focused runs, then start playing with the crazy mods that change the game play/content completely.

I play the game with all DLCs, and then I just pick certain mods that will fit in with my playstyle. Always different theme colonies..

Yes, absolutely. It's better WITH them, but still quite enjoyable without.
