Rimworld is pretty much more of a mod platform these days than games and I think some mods are improving the gameplay. - but I just don't like how some mods are circlejerked into 'lore' of the game, especially on reddit, where there's an expectation that you must download it if you ever want to ever talk about the game witho 'these people' online, because that's all they're posting about. New players tend to get recommend certain circlejerked mods and end up downloading things that would bloat, confuse and unbalance the game. They'd end up with poorly documented game breaking features (because these people won't read mod descriptions) and a shitload of new items they wouldn't know what to do with.
The 'community' just made my skin crawl for some reason, too, in some way worse than Fallout modders even. (...and Fallout modding scene is a total cesspit, a lot worse than Skyrim. - This is not just my opinions, I know a few people who can say the same)
Anyone who dares to question these circlejerked mods get these same canned aggressive responses from gooners with anime pfp that you should let people enjoys things, it's a single player game!. While big name modders are vaxing about how their mods are better than vanilla games. It's also a game where I see people shamelessly talking about NSFW mods in open in the way other games (that has NSFW mods) don't have. Most people there like to admit that they have thousands of hours in the game which I find pretty weird. It's as if there are barely any casual players left, they wouldn't be posting on reddit...
but maybe it's just reddit. The game itself is a bit bare bones but it's not too bad.... It's becoming like Fallout to me, a game to enjoy privately but the fanbase is cognitohazard.
