@edbmods edbmods released this 04 Aug 19:33

This is the latest test release of the mod for version 1.0 of RimWorld. Earlier test releases were geared toward compatibility with 1.0. This release adds a few new features:

  • You can now filter backstories to find the ones that give you the skill bonuses that you want.
  • The character list is now divided into colony characters and world characters . The world characters include "left behind" pawns.
  • You can choose a faction for your world characters and assign them as faction leaders.
  • Note that while world characters may sometimes appear during gameplay, they often do not. The mod does not change any spawning logic to force your world characters to show up.
  • Better compatibility with the Alien Races mod.

As always with new releases:

  • I strongly recommend that if you are re-saving presets after making changes with this release, that you save them as new files with a different name instead of overwriting the existing presets. This will guarantee that any bugs in this release will not corrupt your favorite preset.
  • I've started testing with some other mods, but you can expect some mod compatibility issues.

This will not work with the Beta 18 version of the game. You must be running at least version 1.0.1982 of the game to use this test release of mod.

Don't attempt to install this release if you're not comfortable with manual installs of RimWorld mods. Wait instead for the final version of the mod release to come out, after which your mod will auto-update via Steam Workshop.

To install:

  1. Download the EdBPrepareCarefully-1.0.5.zip file. Ignore the "Source Code" links. You don't need those if you're just trying to install the mod.
  2. Find your RimWorld Mods directory.
  3. Extract the contents of the downloaded zip into the Mods directory. Make sure that you don't accidentally "double-extract" the contents. You should have a Mods/EdBPrepareCarefully directory, not a Mods/EdBPrepareCarefully/EdBPrepareCarefully directory.
  4. If you're using Steam, be sure to disable the workshop version of the mod if you've subscribed to it. It's important that you only have the 1.0 version of the mod enabled when playing version 1.0 and that you only have the Beta 18 version of the mod enabled when you're playing Beta 18. By doing this manual install, you'll need to remember to remove it later when the workshop version is updated for version 1.0.
