Shavius's Vanilla Expanded Patches

Some patches for the VE series mods aiming at improving subjective game experience. Will be continuingly updated in future.

Note that required mods are not all required

In 2023/5/26, large part of the features have been incorporated into the VE mods, this patch will still continue updating and accept further suggestions.


The vanilla Gunsmithing tech will now require Gunpowder tech from this mod.
VFE-pirate cannon also requires Gunpowder nowo.

Vanilla pila will also be used alongside javelin by classical factions.
These Only work while loaded with this Shavius's Classical Flavour Pack:
Pawns of classical faction will have their exclusive classical style backstories, if you've installed the medieval flavour pack, some stories from it will also be used.
A new ideology structure of Hellenic legend, but it is somehow imcomplete since I can't create art resources for it. Will be using resources from Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Memes and Structures if installed with it. Classical factions' ideologies are highly likely to use it.

Gaubric is less often in spawned apparels.

The Coal Grill from this mod will also include the function of the VCE grill.
The Coal Grill will also benefit from linkables added in VFE-Production.
Use method in VFE-Production to copy recipe list for the new buildings from this mod.
The wood-fired furniture which already has coal-fired alternative from this mod will no longer be automatically applicable to coal, e.g. wood-fired generators, braziers etc.
Rebalanced some VWE guns with higher-than normal penetration values. Since penetration has become way too influential in Armored Up.


My concept of rimworld is that, the whole world can exist on it on. While the player might be somewhat special, you are still a part of this world. So when a mod adds something into the game, I want to make it not exclusively available to the player, but has reasonably existed somewhere else in the world before the player has arrived.
