Rimworld Modding Guide Paste

Basically what I did was make a general mod order like

Core
Hugslib
Jecstools
Humanoid Alien Races
Prepare Carefully
Core Libraries (stuff that adds no content but code for other mods)
Turret Extensions
GiddyUp
Doors Expanded
MapGen
Traits
Medical like Bionics / Androids
Fuck up everything by adding too much shit mods so go near the bottom
Hospitality
Prison Labor
Simple Sidearms
Game Mechanics How Items Work UI Mods
Item adding Mods building weapons quest rewards hair VGP etc
Races / Factions Massive Pawn Changes
Animals
Facial Stuff
Patching Mods
RJW
Kid/Children Mods
Maybe Patching Mods Here Too

G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\RimWorld\RimWorldWin64_Data\output_log.txt

Thats the error log output.

Ive done a rough 3-4 mods in each section to kind of flesh it out.
tested i to see if it works.
Then id go through A adding all the races and test them to see if they work.
Then the next category
Then the next letter.
And I add everything in each section alphebetically so its easy to keep track.

The only deviation is to add say a patch in where it would be like
Alpha Weapons
Jojos's DMG Patch for Alpha Weapons
Beta Weapons

Each time I save a Modlist file like A1 Added Weapons
That way I can keep track of what I added so I know what to look for conflicts in.

Maybe overkill for you since im working at 500 mods right now like an insane autist but hopefully my autistic workflow helps you.
