Amid a growing trend in the gaming industry, I have set out to correct the biggest flaw in Rimworld;

Consistent and well-balanced game design with no option of ruining it with random, luck based, gameplay alterations.

My "hard" work and efforts have culminated in this, Rimworld: Lootbox - a mod pack designed to take all of those aforementioned good things and throw them out. This is 2021 baby! All we need these days is a random dopamine hit from a sparkly chest, and a system designed to feed you just enough to keep you handing over your hard earned dollars, or in this case, Rimworld treasures.

Random is the mod packs modus operandi, or modus disoperandi, modus don'tworkatalli, whatever you want to call it.

All that's left now is to complain when things all go horribly awry in a small span of time - who knows, maybe if you fork over some more of that silver you might do better!

Recommended Mod Settings:

EVERYTHING is set to DEFAULT unless OTHERWISE stated.

Configurable Maps - Terrain Settings:
- All sliders set to RANDOM (furthest right side) EXCEPT "Water Level"

Configurable Maps - "Things" Settings

Highly recommended for lower end PCs to not change animal and plant density, or even turn them down below default.

Oskar Obnoxious:
- Ticks Between Patch Notes: 250000
- Defs: 6
- Fields: 3
- Patch Notes Stored: 1 (personal preference for extra difficulty)

Powerful Psycast AI:
- Allow AI to aggressively push heat above safe levels: Yes
- Neolithic faction NPC have 80% chance to gain Psycast

Quarry:
I'll be honest, I threw in a bunch of random stuff at 1% chance because I thought it would be funny to dig up fertilised giant wasp eggs.

Installation Guide:

Imgur Picture guide for Steps 6 onward as this can be a bit more confusing for first time users: https://imgur.com/gallery/0ktDs6N

1. Subscribe to the collection, and allow the download time to complete, might take a while to copy over!

2. Download the load order file from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NuaJqutoHZdkPc3F94oUdZAiRsvY9H7S/view?usp=sharing

3. Open Rimworld and enable Harmony and Mod Manager ONLY, making sure harmony is at the top, while Mod Manager is at the bottom, like so:
- Harmony
- Core
- Royalty DLC (Optional)
- Mod Manager

4. Restart Rimworld and go back into mods, if it looks different and has new options, mod manager is working correctly.

5. Close Rimworld

6. Type "%appdata%" (without quotes) into Windows. This WILL NOT take you to the correct folder, but is a shortcut to get to a folder near it.

7. Go BACK to the AppData folder from the new folder windows has just opened from the previous step.

8. Open the "LocalLow" folder.

9. Open the "Ludeon Studios" folder. Then "Rimworld by Ludeon Studios" folder, then ModLists (this folder WILL NOT appear until you have enabled Mod Manager and Harmony in Rimworld, go back to step 3 and restart Rimworld.)

10. Paste the file from Google Drive into this folder (LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld by Ludeon Studios/ModLists)

11. Restart Rimworld ONCE the file has been copied

12. Go back into "Mods"

13. Click on the button called "Create, apply and manage mod lists" on the further right of the other button in the BOTTOM CENTRE of the screen.

14. Click "Load mod list"

15. Click "Lootbox" if this does not appear then either restart Rimworld OR you haven't placed the file in the correct place. Redo steps 6 onward.

16. Restart Rimworld and you're done!

FAQ:

-Q: Why not use Rimpy?
-A: Yes Rimpy is easier, but some people have difficulties with this written guide, with pictures, and that's only using steam workshop. Adding in an external download, installation, and usage, is an absolute nightmare.
