Happy Holidays! - Sapiens mods to try
Thanks everyone for all of your support throughout 2023!
The 0.5 update is progressing nicely, and over these past couple of weeks I’ve made a lot of progress on multiplayer and AI tribes. But with the update just about to enter the first testing phase, it’s still going to be another few weeks before it’s ready. So while you’re waiting, and with over 70 mods available, now is a great time to try out a few!
If you haven’t installed any mods before, Sir Lich’s new Christmas 2023 mod is a great place to start, to add a purely visual festive vibe.
Vanilla Tweaks makes it easy to configure a wide range of new options to change the gameplay and interface, and set things up just the way you like.
Chop and Replant is a handy mod by Witchy that adds a new button to the radial menu, allowing you to automatically replant trees that have been chopped down.
Some role assignment automation is coming to the vanilla game in 0.5, but AutomatedRoles (also made by Witchy) gives you the ability to automatically mange your tribe’s roles already, with a bunch of control too.
Bone Crafting adds a bunch of bone related content, with furniture, bone broth, a giant axe and even wind chimes
And Time Control Plus adds some handy information to the clock.
Some of these mods require Hammerstone, which is a base mod you’ll need to install first. If you need any help installing mods, there is a great tutorial on the Sapiens wiki.
And if you’re interested in making your own Sapiens mods, this community created mod development wiki is a fantastic place to start, and the discord linked there is great if you want to get more involved or have questions too.
I hope you have a great holiday season, and we’ll see you again in the new year!
