Vanilla Expanded - More Possibilities for Your RimWorld Colony

# Vanilla Expanded — More Possibilities for Your RimWorld Colony

A collection of mods from the **Vanilla Expanded** series that broadens RimWorld’s familiar systems while preserving its recognizable visual style. Build a more varied colony, explore new approaches to survival and give your settlers more ways to work, fight and spend their time.

Depending on the included modules, the collection expands equipment, furniture, production, farming, cooking, wildlife, factions and world events. Smaller additions fit into everyday colony life, while larger modules introduce mechanics that can shape an entire playthrough.

## What to expect

- More choices for outfitting colonists and developing your base.
- Additional production chains and opportunities to specialize.
- Greater variety in encounters, environments and colony stories.
- A consistent visual style inspired by the original game.

**Vanilla Expanded is modular.** You can use the collection as a starting point and choose the additions that suit your preferred playstyle. New content can also change the balance and difficulty of a colony.

## Before starting

Check each selected mod’s game version, dependencies and DLC requirements. Some modules require **Vanilla Expanded Framework**, **Harmony** or particular official expansions.

Follow the dependency warnings and load-order instructions for the mods you enable. Whether a new colony is needed depends on the individual additions.

The collection brings together work by the **Vanilla Expanded team and contributing authors**. Each mod retains its own requirements and credits.
