"I would like some suggestions for a Rimworld android themed modpack. I would like a goal for the androids to achieve, something that avoids regular sci-fi android clichés. I would like an idea for the naming scheme the androids to follow. I would like suggestions for their society, and how the android colony will function. I would like some interesting restrictions for the colony."

As a conservator bot, your primary function is to ensure the protection and betterment of humanity by any means neccessary that fall within your programming restrictions.

Additional, optional restrictions should be followed (most are enforced somewhat by the Ideology):

- All three of Asimov's Laws
- No non-renewable energy sources, including waste producing energy such as nuclear.
- Recycling is the highest priority, this includes apparel, scrap, slag, and naturally deceased bodies where the organs can save others.
- Injured humans, hostile or otherwise, must be tended and restored as close to their baseline health as possible.
- Slaves must be purchased where feasible, adults must be tended for, restored, and allowed to leave. Children must be raised and prepared for a free life.

Mod configs are NOT optional to download, most features will not work without them. Save game is optional, but highly recommended (you can use character editor to replace starting characters). Choose one load order, either RimPy (recommended) or just the base game load order file:

Load Order (Base Game): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VVle_lIGamG57k--CA_cn3e5HnU7fCXR/view?usp=sharing

Load Order (RimPy): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rNNownGhUudDKE-QzhHHQY0Yo4cTh00-/view?usp=sharing

Save Game: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13eezVZeugbwtpBIa_LbKzbXcrZmeHqKS/view?usp=sharing
Drop into \AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\Saves

Mod Configs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tIqI6S10NkfciIhMY3JNol0eMZKd7QU9/view?usp=sharing
(Open the zip and drag the contents of it to your AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\Config)

For any new complex mod pack you should FULLY reset Rimworld, and all related files, to ensure no old, outdated, or incompatible mods are left behind.
Reinstalling Rimworld or unsubscribing from mods WILL NOT fully reset your installation and old files can still persist!

The folders that should be fully reset before beginning a new modpack:

Delete all files in the following folders:
Local Mods: Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods (Manually installed mods folder)
Steam Mods: Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100 (Steam mod download folder)
User data: AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios (Your user configurations, saves, etc)

Then open Rimworld, reapply your user settings (screen resolution, volume etc), ensure that no mods are still present in your save.


1. Follow the above steps to clean your installation
2. Subscribe to all with the button above
3. Open RimPy
4. Click on "Import List" and choose the load order file
4. Press "Sort"
4.1. Ignore any errors that might pop-up, press skip if an error box occurs here
5. Press "Save"
6. Press "Run"


PLEASE consider swapping to RimPy, it is a much more useful tool capable of auto-sorting your mods, cleaning up unneeded files, and optimising textures to save on memory usage!

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 the above "Load Order (Base Game)" google drive link.

3. Go to the modlists folder, this will be something like "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\ModLists" folder.

You can do this by typing EXACTLY(without quotes) "%appdata%/../LocalLow" into Windows Explorer (the bar at the top of windows folders, etc), then click Ludeon Studios -> Rimworld by Ludeon Studios -> Modlists

Or copy this into your windows folder bar: %appdata%/../LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld by Ludeon Studios/ModLists

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

5. Restart Rimworld ONCE the file has been copied

Q: I have this inconsequential error, but I am obsessed with having a clean log despite it having no impact on my life, can you help?
A: Yes, my real life human body IS CE compatible.

Q: RimPy Mod Database is disable, how can I fix it?
A: Don't touch it. Don't enable it. It's a good friend of yours. You go back years. Just let it hang out off to the side and cheer you on.

Q: I have a "Mod mismatch" window trying to load the save game!
A: You can safely ignore it, occasionally I'll remove mods from the pack if they cause issues later down the line, update, or have some other unexpected conflict. I won't ever remove or alter anything save-game breaking.

Q: Is this a virus? (I get this a lot)
A: I 100% get the caution, but Youtube is my job, I have 180k+ subscribers, and if I tried to do anything even remotely malicious I would lose my ability to pay rent overnight. Obviously I wouldn't maliciously spread a virus amongst a Rimworld mod pack. You are more than welcome to ask amongst comment sections, my discord, or even here on steam if you're unsure. If you want to be extremely certain, I would highly recommend using the files with something such as https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload which will check the files amongst many masterlists provided by security companies.

Q: Why didn't you include X mod?
A: I only had a 48 hour window to create and test the modpack, and produce the accompanying video. But I'm always up for new suggestions.
