RimTweaks
RimTweaks is a collection of quality of life patches and additions. The goal was to reduce some of the mod clutter that was piling up in my list. I started with a few quality of life changes and, as I read through more of the code and played the game more, I started to make changes here and there. Bulk recipes were added for stone blocks and smelting slag. Research and a recipe was added for Glitterworld Medicine. Cutting Stone blocks skill was returned to Crafting. Power use was reduced in a lot of things after I got sick of spamming solar panels and batteries everywhere. Facilities were altered. Recipes changed. Things that didn’t make sense were fixed (for example, eating human meat was more traumatizing then eating a corpse…not sure about you, but I’d freak out more gnawing on a leg than eating a slice of one). Raids are increased a bit, as are manhunter packs.
Nothing was removed from the game. All of the annoying things are still there, but some of them are made less annoying. A few things were made a little easier/ more convenient. Other things were made more challenging, and others just fix things I felt weren’t right with the game (another example: the penalties for living in a hot environment were more severe than those for living in a cold one. I made them even.).
Here are more examples of some of the changes:
-Crafting Stone Blocks now uses the Crafting skill, Skill Learn Factor increased

-Vitals Monitor no longer needs to be adjacent to bed – Max Distance of 4 tiles away
-End Table Max Simultaneous increased to 2 (because double beds exist)
-Made Dressers store Apparel
-Standing Lamp power consumption reduced to 15 from 75
-Sunlamp power consumption reduced to 1500 from 2900
-Vitals Monitor power consumption reduced to 75 from 150
-Increased river spawn chance
-Increased Steam Geyser spawn chance
-Slightly increased Ally Visit chance

-Increased Raid chance
See the changelog included in the About folder or Github[github.com] for the full list of changes/tweaks made. The Change Notes here weren’t large enought to hold the list (plus the formatting sucks).
The patches are all fairly compartmentalized. If there are tweaks you don’t want (ie. the Thought Memory Room Stat changes), you can just delete the corresponding patch xml and the rest of the mod will work fine as is.
If anyone would would like ot suggest more tweaks or contribute please feel free.
Thanks to Nightinggale for the awesome ModCheck.
