The Best Rimworld Mods

Years ago I backed an interesting looking colony sim called Rimworld. When I started playing a couple of months later I found it was... alright. Ugly, a bit clunky and prone to the same AI issues that most tycoon games run into. Much later I decided to dive into it again after coming across an old code in an abandoned email box. Now I'm nearly 400 hours down on the Steam version alone, and I just can't stop.

While the developer's work has brought Rimworld along in leaps and bounds, I can say without a doubt that it's thanks to the plethora of mods that I've fallen this deep into the rabbit hole. From full overhauls like Medieval Times to quality of life changes like Research Pal, mods are what makes Rimworld so full of potential.

So if you're late to the party and aren't sure what mods you'll need, here are the mods we can't play without.

All mods are compatible with 1.1, check your version before installing.
