[1.2] Six's Mega Mod Pack

A complete breakdown of my 1.2 Mod Pack.

Summary

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀* * * BACK TO MODPACK * * *

I decided to optimize my mod collection and this is the result, a HUGE mod pack with no conflicts and decent performance for the size,

I am a player that prefers the long-term and grand storyline of a Rimworld playthrough, I enjoy building up a huge colony and letting my colonists do there thing while I micro manage occasionally.

I have over 500 hours in Rimworld and as a result, I've sorta experienced the "main content" of the game, because of this I decided to add as much content as possible to my game so that every playthrough I discover something new or find a new tactic to exploit.

If this style of gameplay interests you, my mod pack might.

[stupid sexy flanders]

Great list thanks for sharing this.
One minor suggestion: perhaps add mod author's name after each mod? Will help when there are multiple mods from different authors with similar names, and gives credit to the authors

[Six]

@Skakk
My modpack is already out:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2441003991

[Skakk]

Also Rocketman is not on the Steamshop, but there is a version on Github.
Is this the one you recommend, or is this thread even a recommendation of mods, or is it just you announcing to us all your mod list?

[Skakk]

Thanks Six for your list.

You seem to pretty much use the same mods as me.

I was wondering if you could put your load order also, as I am having some issues/errors with my load order.

Also I had issues with RuntimeGC in the past were my pawns would stop moving and I couldn't get them to move.
Is that something you have come across? May be down to a conflict I had or load order, but I saw on the mod page that many others had the same issue.
