Lol, the game is actually pretty snappy with a light mod list (Harmony, base game, official expansions + whatever I’m working on), I think my load times are only a couple of seconds. Plus steam will send out the “Alias is playing RimWorld message” as soon as the game is launched, regardless of whether the game fully loads or not.

Over RimWorld mods?! While I will acknowledge that everyone should play the vanilla game before diving into mods, RimWorld is one of the most modder friendly games I’ve ever seen (mod support was literally mentioned in the game’s original Kickstarter).

I’m not a big fish, but I’ve been around a long time. Most of my mods are cases where the original author has stepped away from modding and I saw an opportunity to add some improvements of my own while carrying on the torch (I stand on the shoulders of giants and all). I maintain a handful of mods, but the biggest/ most notable are probably Setup Camp, Camping Stuff, and Doormats. If you’re interested in the full list, here’s my Steam / GitHub

I make mods for RimWorld and my poor friends get subjected to this all the time (I’m really bad about remembering to set myself as offline and my friends find it more amusing than anything else) because the fastest way to test my code is usually just to close the game, and reopen it.
