TIRED OF UPDATES BREAKING MY GAME

[Elion SPARTAN 316]

I haven't really played since the new anomaly DLC came out. Broke my last medieval colony. even when i returned to previous build i cant use drop pods anymore, and I get no raiders.

I'm tired of going months without being able to play. Currently have no interest in playing unless i can get my mod back that allowed me to haul and drop things in specific locations as apposed to creating a stockpile and waiting for it to be hauled.

I had a pretty sophisticated vehicle base too.... sadly that too i cant play anymore.

i don't feel like playing COD....Just Rim.

Is there a way to update the mods myself?

You can copy all your mods to the local folder, if you want to do it that way.

I thought I was the only one, I feel you. I literally don't' want to play anything else, but I can't because the recent update has ruined mods in general. Even past beta versions of the game don't work. The only way for the mods to be updated is for each individual author of each mod to test and update their mods.. and it hasn't' been a seamless proceed from what I've seen so far. I'm super depressed, I became obsessed with this game around December and now I haven't been able to play it for the past month. I wish there were a non-intrusive means of updating, for those that are content with where they're at, leave them a version that works, and then do your own testing on your own time, and not have your customers as unpaid beta testers.

Updates take a really long time to come out, so I don't see why you are complaining, especially when you can revert to previous versions

Previous versions don't work, literally something about the last update has rendered mods that used to work and be compatible with one another, are no longer compatible with other mods that they used to work with.

The game update didn't touch mods. Only mod authors near release time began updating their mods, creating some errors with old Rimworld and other mods.

I backed up old mods to local folder safely before 1.5's release, then opted for the final 1.4 "beta". Since then I've manually added about 15 old and 15 new 1.4-compatible mods from workshop without issue.

So my only frustration is waiting for the game to settle before I can switch to 1.5 and try some of the intriguing 1.5-only mods.

I'm sorry the workshop doesn't archive older versions of mods for people who got caught with their pants down. Happened to me last time - and never again.

Yeah I'm with you. The game is now .... not really playable for me.

is it just a matter of going to the user/ludeon/appdata directory and copypasta the mod folders somewhere else?

Yes, to the install folder RimWorld/Mods where you'll find a "Place mods here.txt". Mods here override any others, and don't get updated.

I never saw the appeal of using mods since they break the game often when it gets updated.

Never had any problems.

You can always use an older version of the game I guess.

You have almost 4K hours in Rimworld and play without mods?

To juxapose mr 4k hours with no mods lunacy.

I have 5k hours and I have never finished the game in vanilla. I’ve been playing since 2017 before mods were on the workshop. We didn’t even have a world map.

Mods are what makes this game good

previous versions made the drop pods unstable. and other features not work. I also dont get invaded anymore in the previous build.
