Description

This is a database for RimPy Mod Manager. You need to download an app to actually use all of it benefits (check Download section below). Database contains latest information about mods and latest versions of community made auto sorting rules. You should not put Database in your active mod list, because it contains o useful data for game itself, only data needed for RimPy Mod Manager.
The benefits of RimPy are as follows:

  • Automatic mod sorting
  • Manual mod sorting (move up/down, drag/drop)
  • Mod list management (create, save, load different mod lists)
  • Mod update log (shows which mods recently updated)
  • Mod filtering (name, author, mod path, packageId, color code or supported game version)
  • Mod context menu (open folder/url, change color, create sorting rule, etc...)
  • Steam and Local modpack creation
  • Mod pack management (install several mod packs and run them independently with different settings)
  • Run game from the Rimpy Mod Manager
  • Rimworld Mod Downloader from Steam Workshop (for non-steam versions of the game)
  • Rimworld Mod Updater (for non-steam versions of the game)
  • Notifications and checks to make changes as safe as possible
  • Windows and Linux support (Debian tested)

RimPy Mod Manager使用指南——集排序、管理、下载于一身的优秀工具


DO NOT EXPECT RIMPY TO SORT YOUR MODS ACCORDING TO WELL KNOWN GUIDE!!!
It will sort them differently and that is normal behaviour, read below about how sorting will be done.

First: Alphabetically
This allows mod lists to be standardized and will help with bug reports.
Contrary to some belief, alphabetized mod lists are 100% ok.
Every mod must be loaded according to a few things:
-Known dependencies are loaded above their dependent mods (Library mods like Harmony for example)
-Known conflicting mods are loaded above/below each other as specified by author/s
-Known incompatible mods are not loaded together

Second: Reads Vanilla Data
This is the information in the About.xml
This is the same information the Vanilla auto-sort feature uses.

Third: Manifest Files from Fluffy's Mod Manager
Some mods still support these files, but may be considered obsolete due to the newer vanilla sorting features.

Fourth: Steam Data
When a mod author states a mods' dependencies on Steam, RimPy reads it.
This may be considered outdated or inaccurate in some cases.

Fifth: Custom and Community Rules
Rules made by users like you!
Reviewed and then submitted into this mod.
This is also when your own locally made custom rules are implemented.
That means you can make RimPy sort mods however you want, automatically, once you make your own rules.


If you have problems with RimPy try these steps:
- Restart PC
- Reinstall videocard driver
- Report bugs at this link

I get errors when I enable this mod. Fix it!
This Steam mod contains the database of rules that modders and the community have made. Download the mod and keep it unloaded for the database, or choose not to use it.


Fluffy
For his great mods. This program uses Manifest.xml files implemented by him with Mod Manager. The pioneer in autosorting, before RimWorld and Ludeon even had it.

I'm using rimsort with 500 mods seems fine

Meanwhile even though RimPy is showing it's age and lack of updates it's good for 90% of use cases.

As for the last 10% as I mentioned you can go into the Rimpy json file and update the specific mod so that it sorts correctly or removes the dependency error.

rimsort sorting blows, I sort with rimsort and it gives me corrupted mods message on startup but not with rimpy sorting

@Archotech but mod creators adds instructions into their mods for RimPy where to put it.
Kasa May 18 @ 11:05am 
Nah, rimsort is still garbage compared to Rimpy, once rimsort gets their act together maybe.

Till then Rimpy is still the better manager.
Archotech May 18 @ 10:49am 
It's been 2 years since the last update. Just use Rimsort for sorting, texture optimization and updating, and use Rimpy for categorization.

You can still take screenshots with the RimWorld shortcut or the windows shortcut, but if you want them to be in your steam gallery automatically, you need to start the game via steam. If you accidentally forget to start the game via Steam, you can still take screenshots normally, and then add them to the steam gallery later on, but it requires extra steps, and is a bit of a hassle.

There is no issue with starting the game via RimPy, and then later starting it with Steam.

And another question can I do it like this: sort the mod list in RimPy, launch the game once, and then the next time launch it directly through Steam? Or will that mess up the mod list?

I can't take screenshots when I launch the game through RimPy. Is there any solution for this?
I've searched the Internet, but unfortunately, the posts about this are very old, and the suggested fixes don't work.
This really bothers me because my playthroughs are very story-driven, so I often come across wholesome moments that I'd like to capture in a screenshot.
I want the screenshots to be taken directly through Steam so I can easily browse them later — I don’t want to use any external tools.
Do you know any solutions?

I see. I suppose he can just edit the database file directly. He can delete lines 320,921 through 320,947, and that should fix it, seeing as the Author has not been active an many months now.
