Library Load Order Mod Series

Load Order Mod Series

Description
Updated For 1.4

The Load Order Mod Series is a bunch of mods I put together for my own personal use that I releasing so that, hopefully, they assist others as they have me.

The Concept is simple: Each Mod has no content, it simply acts as a placeholder and says "Put mods of this type below me", Additionally, each LOMS mod is set to request to be behind the previous two mods in the LOMS series, as well as a select few Mods that I personnally use.

Full List of LOMS Mods in Order
01> Library <-This Mod
02) Map Generation
03) Factions
04) Traits
05) Androids
06) Medical
07) Misbehaving Mods
08) Gameplay
09) UI/Graphics
10) Items
11) Animal Pawns
12) Animal Behavior
13) Race and Faction Pawns
14) Patches
15) Final Animations
15) Final Mods

FAQ:

Q: Just use RimPy!
A: You can certainly use RimPy, both without LOMS, or in conjunction: As LOMS uses the Vanilla XML commands for automatic ordering, LOMS is fully compatible with RimPy, and will act as an additional tool for RimPy Automatic Mod Ordering.

Q: Where did you get this load order? it is completely different from the one that I use, which is absolutely perfect!
A: If you have a better one, I am jealous. LOMS is based directly on Trisscar's Load Order Guide viewable HERE (https://rwom.fandom.com/wiki/Mod_Order_Guide).

Q: I am a Mod author, can you add my mod to be automatically sorted?
A: You can do so yourself quite simply. First, figure out what type of mod it is, and thus what group it should load in; then, in your mod's "about" file, add the line <loadAfter> followed by the identifier of the grouping mod surrounded by <li> tags (ex: <li>Medical.Mods.LOMS</li>), then close with </loadAfter>. Now anyone who uses you mod who also uses LOMS will get your mod automatically sorted.

Q: You screwed up the automatic sort!
A: Part of why I'm not adding to it, I probably did. But unless you are the mod author, I am not going to go by your say so and change it. Next release will probably have less Mods included in the automatic sort; these were the Mods I was using for my personal automatic sort. (And yes, they were only a portion of my mod list).

Q: The Race and Faction Pawns Section should be split; Faction Blender and other similar Mods should have their own section
A: Debating it, may occur in the next version of LOMS, depending on feedback.

OOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo thanks for this........ Where do anomoly mods (new anomolies), new genes, and new idology stuff go? will you put a place for them?

Dude, I used this load order for my mods, without actually subbing, just to see if it works. I commend you. I have been looking at an entirely different guide for mod load order before finding this and everything would break randomly. Now everything runs like butter. So thank you for this magnificence.

In Rimpy, the first thing I always do is make sure that this series of mods are all color-highlighted - makes it very easy to spot them when dragging around 200ish mods

Do I need to put it into my load order? or is it like rimpy mod?
why are we here? just to suffer? Oct 30, 2022 @ 1:04pm 
If you dont add ----- or ===== before your mod on Rimpy it becomes impossible to segment lists in a timely manner and you force users to add it anyway

otherwise, thank you for your mod.

Came here to bring up sorta what Jackington brought up 2 days ago, would it be possible to maybe add -- before each LOMS mod? If your sorting with vanilla rimworld mod manager window its really hard to find categories after a while!

Would be super QoL ^^

Thanks for this, very helpful!

One QoL feature, could they have LOMS at the start of their name? as it is they kind of hide in the haystack of mods, having a prefix would help with that

Primarily Manual.
It WILL work with RimPy, though not as well as I would like.
RimPy uses the tags I have included, for the few mods I have tagged, then sorts everything alphabetically.
It is far better if you manually sort your mods by what type of mod they are in to the categories listed, though you can use a RimPy sort as a starting point.
This acts as a guide to help you sort your mods, so they have fewer conflicts. It isn't perfect, and it isn't automatic, but it helps as mod lists get longer.

Feeling exceptionally dumb as I have no idea how I'm supposed to utilise this? Do I just chuck all the "load order" stubs into RimPy along with my mods and click sort? Is this an entirely manual thing?

Hey I'm currently making the poison mod load between gameplay and graphics. I mean, I'm probably fine just making it load after, but I was gonna try to make it load before graphics too, but am unsure what the exact name of that is.
