Rimworld did it again

[Eruzhar]

Every major update means I'll leave Rimworld for a while. It has always been like this. While not exactly the largest, my 500+ modlist is no joke to jiggle around with. The problem with (not exactly-)updates, like the ongoing still not official 1.5 is that there is always a mod that gets updated out of the blue and destroys your 100h save entirely, irrevocably, and you can't even get a clue about what has happened. Error logs don't give a clue about it, and I know my way around them. The only thing for me is then to abandon Rimworld for a month or so in hopes that, when starting a new save, it won't happen again.

Right click game>properties>update only when you launch game>go offline whenever you play if you know something like this is going to happen. Should work

[[*~MAJA~*] Mandragoron]

how about play just the game without mods? Its fun without it.

Just download all the mods you want now and then follow the steps above. It's, quite literally, just drag and drop.

There was 18 months between the release of Biotech and the announcement of Anomaly. You had plenty of time, OP.

Take it up with the mod authors. This is part of modding ANY game: The game gets an update, the mods get broken. Don't like it, don't mod.

Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to tell people to go harass mod authors. People can just wait and play a different game, that's what I'd do.

That why I buy the dlc, you could use mods but I hate dealing with them breaking down at any moment. DLC atleast feels more stable

The point is that it's not the devs' responsibility to keep third party mods working with every update, so it would be more effective to talk to the mod authors about it if there's a problem than the game's devs.

You can also learn how to mod yourself, or pay someone to do so.

[Professor H. Farnsworth]

I'm going to be frank with you.
This is your own fault for modding the game. Simple as that. Ludeon neither can or should consider mods when they update their game. There are thousands of mods, it would be a complete nightmare in fact impossible to even remotely make sure that everything will work.

I say this, because I extensively mod all my games and I do so well-knowing that an update is likely to break my save. It is a chance I take, because I love mods and I accept that chance.

You should too.

if you need 500+ mods then ya clearly are not enjoying rimworld's core experience.

I've played this game for what.. 1800hrs, there comes a time in which the core experience can get a bit stale if you do not spice it up.
You can't blame people for modding their game or from that infer that they are not enjoying the core experience.

Really? must be just me then cause 1700+ hours and im still satisfied and even more with the new DLC comming out

Rimworlds "core experience" is and always has been severely lacking, its good to see quite a few things are getting put in in the update which really should have been in the base game by now, such as double doors.

that said i fully expect that it will be a mess for quite some time so i have entirely wiped my mod list in anticipation of the release, ill go back to playing the core experience once its out but i imagine i will quickly get frustrated at something like not being able to lock a door, not being able to imprison people while on the move, or one of my colonists having a breakdown over eating without a table, ill start modding it again as things get updated, but i certainly don't expect them to not update there own game because it will mash up mods.
