{what, in your estimation, would need to be done to make caravan travel less annoying?

In general, just adding more options to make long distance travel a bit less painful. Like, it would be nice to have more options open up to you with it as the game goes on, instead of it saying mostly the same outside of maybe the odd pod launcher.

Also lot's of info about 1.5 update.
 
Just as I finally get my modlist fixed so I can play 1.4 without it crashing, natch.

The 1.5 update would impress me more if it didn't consist largely of stuff modders added literally years earlier but the new DLC sounds like it's got potential, if only because it's finally doing something with all that lore about transcendent worlds and machine intelligences that are supposedly out there building Dyson shells and Matryoshka brains.

I'm looking forward to it immensely
 
Currently I am just mainly using Vanilla Expanded stuff (whole lot of them) to fulfill my kitchen sink needs. Since they are mods that got sorted out relatively quickly after major update. Plus it don't conflict with each other since it is made by same dev team.
 
Honestly, I'm really glad to have bookshelves, VE has textbooks, but not bookshelves which always felt weird.
 
Horror was not a theme I'd expect to see from Rimworld but it sounds pretty interesting. Especially the stuff that makes it sound kind of like X-Com, with capturing cultists and researching their tainted materials.

Yeah, had to make some shelves and designate them for books only as a workaround. Inelegant.

    RimWorld 1.5 Changelog

    New stuff - base game

    Books and bookcases

    • Added books. Colonists can acquire books and read them for recreation and for their unique bonuses: textbooks increase a specific skill, schematics progress a certain research project, and novels increase recreation faster.
    • Added bookcases. These are used to store books. Storing books in bookcases increases the beauty of a room, makes nearby research benches faster, and increases the XP and recreation gained from reading.
    • Books are obtained from traders or quest rewards.

    Wall lamps, flood lights, hidden conduits, couches, and ornate doors

    • Added wall lamps and wall torches which are placed directly on walls. They provide slightly less light compared to their standing version.
    • Added flood lights. These are powerful and expensive outdoor lights that cover large areas.
    • Added hidden conduits. These are invisible unless the building or power UI is active. Hidden conduits are harder to damage from explosions or fire.
    • Added couches. They function like armchairs but have room for two colonists instead of one.
    • Added ornate doors. These are the first 2x1 doors in RimWorld and they suit prestigious buildings like throne rooms and temples.

    Mechanoid water emergence and slag chunks

    • Mechanoids can now emerge from bodies of water to attack your colony.
    • Certain large mechanoids have a chance to drop a "mechanoid slag chunk" when they're broken down - these act like steel slag chunks and can be smelted for steel. (These are also replacing ancient mech detritus in Ideology.)

    Crawling

    • When downed, humans still capable of manipulation can now crawl on the ground instead of being fully incapacitated.
    • Crawling colonists leave blood trails, move away from danger, and will seek out the nearest place to recover, like a hospital bed or sleeping spot. Enemies can crawl too.

    New wanderers after a "game over"

    • When all of your colonists are dead or gone, there's a new option as part of the game over letter to "create new wanderers", if you want a second chance with your colony.
    • This allows you to create 1-6 new colonists to inhabit the remains of your colony instead of ending the game.
    • This is entirely optional and you don't have to use it if you prefer a more hardcore experience.

    UI and art

    • Added a search tool (default hotkey: Z) which allows searching visible areas on the map for items, buildings, plants, creatures, and more.
    • Added an option to make colonists' moods on the colonist bar much more visible. They change color and glow when below mental break thresholds.
    • Added silhouette highlighting when the camera is zoomed out to make pawns more visible. This can be customized in the game's settings.
    • Added a 12 / 24 hour clock option.
    • Added a zoom to mouse option where the game zooms in towards the position of your mouse, instead of the center of the screen.
    • Redesigned the prisoner tab.
    • Redesigned the health tab.
    • New and improved weapon art.
    • Improved plant art and added immature and leafless variants.

    Miscellaneous

    • Added "Clean room" command for colonists.
    • Added "Mine vein" designator. This command orders colonists to mine out all connected mineral of a single type with one click.
    • Added separate "smooth walls" and "smooth floors" designations to structure and floor architect tabs.
    • Added a bionic jaw prosthetic.
    • Added the organ decay disease.
    • Added auto rebuild option on firefoam poppers.
    • Added the ability to dismiss traders.
    • Added new options on the world map to easily send caravans.

    • Put an hour into 1.5. I'm still annoyed there seems to be no option to do this and that, and while caravans saw a lot of bugfixes, there's still little in the way of QOL stuff.
     
    Vanilla Expanded Roadmap for Mod Updating and 1.5

    Summary and Patreon link (don't worry it's free for everyone):

    1. Vanilla UI Expanded, Race to the Rim, RimWorld Rick, Oskar Obnoxious, will be discontinued.

    2. Vanilla Royalty + Ideo Patches to be modded into related mods where they're needed.

    3. Medieval and Vikings to be rolled into one, as is the Witcher Monster Hunt mod, which would including a new guild that lets you barter stuff for fancy gear.

    4. Insectoid also to be updated. Both these mods will get massive rewrites (the Insectoid mod seems to be going into a Super Earth direction). As is Vanilla Ideology - Splits and Schisms.

    5. RimEffect will be updated by Neronix and published by himself.

    6. As books are now 1.5, it will mostly use vanilla coding, but will allow you to write up books yourself.

    • " Vanilla UI Expanded, Race to the Rim, RimWorld Rick, Oskar Obnoxious, will be discontinued."
    Darn, i liked UI and Race to the Rim
     
    I actually actively used Vanilla Books Expanded before but man am I enjoying the books we have in 1.5. You even have a reading assignment in the assign tab.

    The big annoying thing, which was inherited from VBE, is pawns not putting their books away, plus the fact you can't use the new Ctrl+F function to find books. Because the books are titled by their actual titles (ex: Tynan's Designing Games: A Guide to Engineering Experiences), and you can't just Ctrl=F 'book'. :V
     
    There have been mods that have done underground before but this is the first I trust not to be bland and overpowered.
     
    As I understand it, 1.5 has a sort of framework that lets players have a 'pocket map' under a tile. It probably works similar to outposts you can raid.



    Anyway, posted this on the official dev discord. Didn't get it but damn, books are powerful. That's probably why you can't write them. I had Fertility Procedures (Biotech) researched without even noticing it, pawns just read the schematics and over time they did. It's obviously not as fast as dedicated research so I think it should be considered a supplement.

    Speaking of which, there's a new article on the wiki and lookie what's there's at the bottom.
     
    Now we can recreate the terrible school experience of reading textbooks all day long.

    "Mom the raiders are stealing the muffalo!"

    "No helping until you finish chapters 8-11 of your social studies book!"
