A mod that is much larger and more sophisticated way to make use of prisoners than Simple Slavery, but has a reputation for being buggy. (WARNING: May cause an assortment of bugs relating to jobs)

Allows you to change the planet's landmass, effectively controlling how vast or cramped the planet is

==''1003'' Performance, Bug Fixes, and AI Improvements==
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Dubs Performance Analyzer				
Arguably the single most important tool for improving game performance. It allows you to see specifically which parts of the game are causing the most slowdown, allowing you to identify and solve bugs which don't normally report errors, or identify which of your mods is secretly causing game slowdown due to poor coding.
* Rocketman								
Essentially reduces the frequency at which the game checks low-importance things, to greatly improve game performance.
* PawnTargetFix							
Makes ranged attackers focus more on the nearest target rather than selecting one randomly
* Perfect Pathfinding						
Makes pawns travel in a straight line instead of moving almost entirely at diagonals with large detours
* Path Avoid								
A useful tool for fixing pathfinding quirks; allows you to paint pathfinding costs onto terrain, allowing you to override normal AI pathfinding. Good for forcing pawns to use roads and avoid traps or obstacles.
* Word of Freelove						
Removes the normal hetero-only restrictions on the Word of Love psycast in the Royalty DLC
* Kijin									
This race mod isn't really a "fix", but has a research project to achieve double yields from animals, effectively allowing you to have half as many animals on the map without losing productivity. This in turn can save on game memory.

With a lot of mods adding (or sometimes even requiring) new traits, this mod allows you to increase the maximum number of traits allowed on a pawn, allowing you to fully make use of these mods
* Animal Logic							
Allows very precise tuning of animal behavior instead of being at the mercy of whatever values are vanilla
* Smarter Construction					
Improves construction reach, greatly reducing incidents of pawns trapping themselves
* Smarter Deconstruction and Mining		
Similar to the above, but for preventing roof cave-ins

Prioritizes which metals to mine by value, instead of just by distance
* Pickup and Haul							
Allows colonists to use their inventory for hauling purposes, greatly increasing the amount of items they can move in one trip
* Haul to Stack							
Prioritizes hauling to drop off goods an an existing stack of that good, instead of creating multiple incomplete stacks which add clutter
* Rimthreaded								
Rimworld is normally limited to a single CPU core. This mod attempts to force it to use multiple cores. (WARNING: This mod has an incompatibility list a mile long, so read it before attempting to use this mod!)

==''1004'' Storage==
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Deep Storage							
Lets you store multiple stacks on one tile
* Netrve's DeepStorage UI					
Improves the interaction menu of deep storage building
* Rimfridge 								
Adds storage with build-in cooling
* [JD] Simply Storage						
Adds a much greater number of containers for Deep Storage

==''1005'' Graphical Improvements==
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


===''1005A'' Graphical Improvements, General===
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* World Beautification Project + addons	
Greatly improves the graphics of the world map
* Hats Display Selection OR Show Hair 	
Allows you to hide helmets, or have headgear that doesn't remove hair from the pawn

What it says on the tin

Technically a furniture mod, but adds a lot of decorative objects focused on cute or low-tech appearance
Vanilla Furniture Expanded Props		
Similar to above, but more modern and serious-looking
* RimThemes								
Change window/UI colors and transparency to whatever you desire
* Eccentric Tech - Cosmetic				
Adds a large number of purely cosmetic implants; animal ears, horns, tails, etc


===''1005B'' Graphical Improvements, Pawn Body===
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* HD Pawn Rendering
Reverts the 1.3 changes which greatly downgraded pawn graphical quality, allowing high resolution pawn textures once again.
* Beautiful Bodies						
Greatly increases body detail without changing body shape (therefore retaining full compatibility with every vanilla clothing mod)
* FemaleBB + bodytype add-on				
This adds a new type of female body shape and increases its, ahem, bust size, though the body itself remains pretty vanilla-like in that it lacks high detail and shading. What makes this mod noteworthy is that the author has manually re-created from scratch literally hundreds of pieces of armor and clothing from almost every major mod to make them similarly more revealing and skimpy (and to fit the new body shape). Mod settings allow you to decide which races this new body type will apply to, and which will remain vanilla. As long as your mother doesn't see this, you should be okay.

===''1005C'' Graphical Improvements, Detailed Hair===
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Replace Vanilla Hair 					
As the name suggests, overrides vanilla hairs with far more detailed and higher resolution versions.
* Roppoi Hair
* Vee Hairs

* Rim Seraph Hair
* Extended Hair




==''1006'' Content Expansion==
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
(Author's note: The "major" and "minor" categories below are purely a reflection of the mod's size and complexity. These categories are not a reflection of usefulness, quality, or gameplay impact.)


===''1006A'' Content Expansion, Major===
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
* RBSE OR EPOE-Forked						
These two mods are the main competing frameworks for rimworld surgeries. A detailed comparison on them can be seen here ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xZaHNbrRg_4vl6HeRlmTmvFfIB1cjUtCGhg8wjtXISk/ )
* Glittertech								
Adds a large range of very late-game advanced technology. May be overpowered.
* PolarisBloc								
Similar to glittertech
* RimCuisine2 + addons					
One of the largest mods dedicated to farming, cooking, and food in general. Note that while not updated to 1.2, the 1.1 version seems to work without any bugs whatsoever, so should be safe to use.
* Zipangu									
Similar to the above, but wholely focused on Japanese-themed cuisine. Also has a large amount of Japanese furniture
* Alpha Animals							
Adds a huge number of non-earthlike creatures to the game

* Vanilla Weapons Expanded + addons		
Adds a wide range of new firearms
* Sparkling Worlds						
A large assorted mod. Adds new events, new glitter tech crafting recipes, a new faction, etc. 
* Soft Warm Beds							
Makes beds a combination of a bed-frame and bed-sheet, rather than just a single item.
* Sometimes Raids Go Wrong				
Adds a small chance that hostile raids will crash their drop pods, arrive hungover, be chased by maddened animals, and so on.
* Apparello 2								
Adds a vast amount of new clothing types.
* More Vanilla Turrets 1.1				
Adds a large number of turrets for base defense

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
* Alpha Animals							
Already mentioned above

==''1007'' Gameplay Mechanics Expansion==
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
(Author's note: The "major" and "minor" categories below are purely a reflection of the mod's size and complexity. These categories are not a reflection of usefulness, quality, or gameplay impact.)


===''1007A'' Gameplay Mechanics Expansion, Major===
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
* RimFactory + addons						
A massive mod that allows you to automate huge portions of colony, or automatically perform most tasks normally impossible to automate in Rimworld
* Rimworld of Magic						
Adds character classes to the game, along with associated spells and abilities, in a manner similar to D&D
* SOS2									
Adds starships, space combat, and interplanetary travel to the game
* Rimatomics								
Adds detailed nuclear power, along with very powerful turrets to the game
* Rimefeller								
Adds the oil industry to the game, allowing production a large number of normally unproducable materials from oil (plasteel, neutromine, etc)						
* Dubs Bad Hygiene							
Adds toilet, hygene, and thirst mechanics to the game. Also includes other useful utilities like central air conditioning, fire sprinklers, irrigation, etc.
* What the Hack							
Lets you capture, modify, and upgrade mechanoids for use as pets
* Gidduup + assorted addons
Allows animals to be ridden, both on the local map and world map. Add-ons allow for riding mechs, and for caravan use.
* Combat Evolved							
A major overhaul of fighting to make is much more deadly, unpredictable, and somewhat more realistic.
* Call of Cthulhu
Adds a cult mechanic, ritualistic spellcasting, and lovecraftian creatures
* RimJobWorld								
Oh boy, you found it. NSFW, 18+, etc. This is the ultimate sex mod for rimworld, with every type of content you care to name. Not found on steam for obvious reasons, but any competent google search should lead you to it. You pervert. And sorry for the weird censoring, stupid word filters on pastebin.
* Pawnmorpher								
Furries: The Mod. This allows you to mutate pawns to give them animal-like body parts, or even turn them into animals (who are still sentient so act like pawns). Unlike Genetic Rim, research requires a lot of experimentation (on actual pawns) and collecting of data.
* Psychology
Instead of relying on pure RNG to determine pawns compatibility with each other, adds a massive amount of personality sliders and sexuality sliders to determine how well pawns get along
* Questionable Ethics Enhanced
Medical Ethics Violations: The Mod. Grow human organs, clone people, install mind control devices, etc.
* TiberiumRim								
Adds the namesake highly infectious, but infinitely renewable resource, along with a full set of vehicles (functionally, mechs) and a large amount of accompanying equipment and structures.
* YokaiMura							
This is basically a catch-all mod from Japanese mythology; about 20 mythical creatures, plus an assortment of armor, traits, weapons, buildings, furniture, medicines, body parts, etc. The reason this is listed under gameplay mechanics expansion is that some weapons are "intelligent" in that they gain XP and level up through combat, which is a neat idea. Note that while most of the content has a translation, some parts do not.

===''1007B'' Gameplay Mechanics Expansion, Minor===
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
* SRTS + addons							
Adds aircraft for rapid traversing of the planet.
* Genetic Rim								
Allows harvesting of genes to create implants or dozens of new animal species
* Genetic Rim Alpha Animals Patch			
Expands the above to include creatures from alpha animals
* Bondage Beds							
Allows players to control addict pawns without resorting to removing the legs or spine, by simply tying them to a bed
* Preemptive Strike						
Allows the construction of facilities to detect friendly traders and enemy raids before they arrive
* EbD Prepare Carefully					
Allows you to manually create starting cargo and pawns on game start instead of relying on RNG
* ED-Shields								
Unlike most shield mods which merely add shield generators, this mod allows precise customization of each shield's functions and abilities using modules
* Crash Landing							
Adds a starting scenario and random event involving ship sections crashing to the planet
* More Faction Interaction				
Overhauls traders, faction expansion, and other diplomatic things
* Infusion 2								
Adds "enchantments" to gear, so that the effectiveness of something is more than just its quality and material alone.
* PsiTech									
An alternative to the royalty psycast system for psionics
* Orion's Hospitality						
Allows you to effectively run a hotel. Charge guests for beds, feed them, and make them happy to improve faction relations and earn more rewards
* Orion's Gastronomy						
The above, but instead of a hotel, you can run a restaurant. 
* RimCities
Adds unique settlement types (cities, duh) and assorted quests involving them (conquest, defense, assassination, etc)
* Social Interactions Expanded			
Gives social interactions more diversity, and allow traits to change due to events
* Backup Power							
Allows various power sources to autonomously turn themselves on or off based on power remaining in batteries.
* RimDeed									
Adds a sort of employment agency where, for a fee, a company will find new possible recruits for you.
* Guard For Me							
Allows the hiring of very powerful pawns on a temporary, salaried basis.
* Empire									
Adds a mini-game involving the creation of settlements and their taxation/defense. (WARNING: Will almost certainly break any semblance of a balanced game economy due to the exponential growth of wealth)
* RimWar									
Effectively allows conquest and war between factions. (WARNING: May cause significant game slowdown, to say nothing of balance issues caused by factions being removed from the game through destruction)
* Vanilla Factions Expanded - Mechanoids	
Mechanoid focused pack which not only adds the usual (new weapons, enemies, etc), but automated factories and supercomputers, and a "total war" mechanic tracking mechanoid progress on a global level
* Organ Harvest Post-Mortem				
Harvest organs and implants from dead pawns. (WARNING: This most destroys the game economy's balance due to each dead raider producing several times more wealth than normal, from harvested organs)
* Expanded Roofing						
Allows you to build or demolish overhead mountain, as well as other utility roofs (glass, solar, etc).
* Roads of the Rim						
Allows construction of new roads on the world map
* Remote Tech 							
Adds an assortment of traps that can be activated remotely without need for a pawn to trigger them.
* Animal Armor + addons					
What it says on the tin
* Death Rattle							
Normally pawns will instantly perish the moment a vital organ (such as the heart) fails. This mod instead gives you a small time window to perform surgery or hook the pawn up to life support before they actually perish, just like how it works in real life.

==''1008'' New Alien Races Content, and Supporting Mods==
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

(Authors Note: Races are divided here into major and minor. Major races are those that either have large anatomical differences from normal humanoid pawns, or they have a particularly extensive amount of secondary content (pets, buildings, weapons, armor, factions), or are otherwise novel in some way. Minor races are those that are just humanoid pawns and have little content outside of race-specific armor and weapons.)

(Author's Note: Nearly all races support one of the two competing bionics mods, RBSE or EPOE. If you are unable to perform bionic surgeries on a race, it may be because you are missing whichever of these two the race supports. Alternatively, the mod Xenobiotic Patcher makes all surgeries cross-species, but occasionally causes some odd or nonsensical surgeries to be unlocked, though this isn't really a problem if you avoid using them them.)


===''1008A'' New Alien Races Content, Major===
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
* Humanoid Alien Races 2.0				
Not a race mod, but an underlying framework required by nearly every race mod in existence. 
* Xenobionic Patcher						
Have lots of races installed and worried about bionic compatibility? This makes every surgery compatible with every race
* AOC
Demonic species with an OCD compulsion for cleaning. The janitors of the universe.
* Androids								
Robots that can customize their bodies and traits upon assembly.
* Android Tiers++							
A far larger robot mod, albeit one that has earned a bad reptuation for hurting game performance. It has truly unique features things like mind-uploading, mind-copying, but also completely destroys game balance due to its overpoweredness.
* Anty the War Ant Race					
Quoting the author, "The problem child of the universe." Lots of unique mechanics here: An anty can be transformed using pheromones, making them a queen to constantly produce new children, or alternatively you can turn them into a soldier, or an acid suicide bomb. They also recycle prisoners into meat computers, living generators, or human cattle that slowly waste away for new food. Their weapons are mostly acid-based, and they have grenades which can instantly deploy a sandbag cover. Lots of neat stuff. 
* Avali									
Bird lizard people things? One of the single largest mods in terms of supporting content (buildings, armor, weapons). Spacer-tech
* Crystalloids								
Crystal people. The race itself pretty unremarkable and uses very old graphics, but they have extensive supporting content such as a unique type of raid, a large array of new psycasts, and a unique way to generate power.
* Dragonians								
Dragon girls. Have the advantages of being able to graze, be milked and sheared, but still a sentient pawn. Tribal-tech
* Epona
Centaurs. Assorted tech levels. Have their own custom space suits for SOS2 compatibility. 
* Idhale									
Basically ghosts. Immune to conventional attack, but in turn are also unable to attack others.
* Kijin									
Japanese Oni (demons). Have a number of unique techs which improve the productivity of farm animals, and their own unique win condition. Japanese/medieval-tech.
* Kurin
Three-tailed foxgirls. One of the most popular race mods, so have a large number of add-ons mods or ports. Spacer-tech
* Luno
Living dolls made from the dead
* Mincho									
Ice cream slime girls. A living testament to the horrors (or brillaince) of genetic engineering. Extremely durable bodies; probably the only race listed that can literally survive their heads being blown off. And then grow it back.
* Moosesians
Very large moose people who are consequently much more durable than normal pawns. Napoleonic-era technology.
* Moyo									
Deep sea dwellers. Blood from this race can be harvested and turned into a wide range of drugs, from mech serums to cocaine. Spacer-tech
* Neclose									
Some sort of combination of huge-titty girls, jelly fish, and sea pickle. Unarmed attacks will paralyze and eventually cause comas. Can also create fleshbeasts to act as menial works.
* Oni										
Roughly based on oni from Japanese lore. Available as both an animal version and a sentient pawn.
* Orassan									
Anthro-cat people (though de-furry patches exist). Specializes in arctic survival; they can farm ice like soil, and can turn normal strone into an enhanced type of concrete. Spacer-tech
* Paniel the Automata
Dog-girl automatons that are powered by brains extracted from pawns and prisoners. They have an interesting mechanic where a constructed Paniel's base stats are dependent on the ability of its crafter (similar to equipment or furniture).
* Rabbies									
Rabbit people with a global addiction to a drug called Planetarium. Modern/Spacer-tech. 
* Ratkin									
Cute rat people whose raids can burrow using drill machines, allowing them to appear inside your base similar to insectoid infestations. Steampunk-tech.
* Rakkle									
Naga-like snake people with a few unique mechanics. Firstly, most of their vital organs are actually in their snake half and not their human half (which is quite useful in Combat Evolved where cover protects the bottom half of a pawn first). And like snakes they can periodically shed their skin, or consume one giant meal and slowly digest it for an entire week instead of eating daily like most other species. 
* Revia									
(Yes, more fox girls). A focus bloodlust and sacrifice; they can generate lost body parts or permanently improve stats by sacrificing prisoners. (WARNING: This mod may cause issues with traders no longer having inventories.)
* Nearmare								
Fairy-like race that can summon will o' wisps to aid them, and is very strong against mental/morale damage.
* Xenoorca
Killer whale mermaids. Like their namesake they're large, powerful and predatory. (Only appear as a pirate faction by default). Spacer-tech.

===''1008B'' New Alien Races Content, Minor===
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
* Annelitrice								
Mimic shapeshifters which appear unremarkable, but are actually composed of hives of worms. They have special abilities to keep resurrecting themselves after death. Modern-tech.
* Arachne									
Spider people. Besides the eight-legs thing, are fairly vanilla. Spacer-tech
* Ancient Species							
Half-Elves. Assorted tech levels
* Astoriel 								
Elves
* Bun										
Bunny People. Tribal-to-Industrial-tech
* Ferian									
Anthro-Fox people, not much here beyond the race.
* Forsaken								
Coal-black skin, horns, and glowing eyes. I assume some sort of demons?  Glitter-tech, with very powerful equipment. Have their own unique biome in Alpha Biomes mod
* Garam									
Furry cat girl pseudo-pets. Highly detailed in-built animation, but the only race in this list that use their own unique framework (not HAR), causing a number of compatibility issues
* Giants									
What it says on the tin, really.
* Nyaron									
Mass produced cat girls. Every weeb's dream
* Silkiera								
Foxgirls with big tiddies. Medieval-tech.
* RimEffect Races							
Can't comment on these since I haven't tried this mod yet.
