10 Best Mods You Need For RimWorld Biotech

We’re going to go over some of the most popular Rimworld Biotech mods that are guaranteed to make your gameplay more enjoyable, and sometimes even easier, depending on the mod. Read on!

RimWorld Biotech: 10 Best Mods

1. Vanilla Expanded series – more specifically the Vanilla Races Expanded mod – a brand new mod series that enhances Biotech features, storytelling and the world-building of RimWorld. This mod adds a whole new race called Saurids – xenohumans with lizard character features.
2. Vanilla Outposts Expanded is a mod that enables players to form caravans and travel around the map, setting up different sorts of outposts, towns and encampments. Every one of these locations grants bonuses varying on the types of pawns as well as the skills thereof.
3. The Better Atomizer – a simple but very useful mod that will make your Atomizer machine run smoother. As a tradeoff, it costs twice as much to build and uses 3 times the power, but I believe that’s still worth it, considering it runs 10 times as fast and holds 5 times the waste packs.
4. Vibro Weapons – this mod adds all sorts of Star Wars-inspired weapons such as the vibro sword, spear, double-edged vibro sword, etc. In order to unlock them, you’ve to do machining (Prototype) and fabrication research. All of the weapons are, of course, carefully balanced to avoid any of them being overpowered, while still leaving some room for them to be fun!

5. Auto-Extract Genes is a mod that adds a checkbox on the health tab of your colonists, slaves and prisoners that, when enabled, automatically visits the gene extractor when they have regrown genes.
6. Faction: V.O.I.D. is NOT for the faint of heart. You can’t say we didn’t warn you.
   Jokes aside, this really is a hardcore mod and it isn’t recommended for those without either extensive game knowledge, or a list of super mods. A whole faction called the Void is introduced with this mod and it spawns either progressively developing mobs or vicious hardcore mobs right off the bat, depending on your settings. Use this if you’re looking for a challenge!
   
   • As you can see here it gets pretty wild pretty fast, so take care!

7. Junior Marine’s Armory allows you to craft and wear brand new powerful armor. There are 3 different sets of armor, each providing their own buffs and power ups.
   The Scutarius Armor Set provides you with increased carrying capacity, global learning factor, melee dodge chance, with the stats being roughly the same as the Cataphract gear.
   The Grasshopper Armor stats are generally similar to that of Locust/Marine gear. It greatly increases your melee dodge chance, global learning factor and carrying capacity. It also has a built-in jump pack, storing 3 charges with increased range.
8. Limitless Deathrest – as the name suggests, this mod completely removes the annoying cap from the Deathrest Accelerator, Glucosoid Pump and the Psychofluid Pump. All this combined will let you achieve insane movement speed – get ready to have loads of fun and set some records!
9. Laser Turrets (by Grandyy) is yet another relatively straight-forward mod. Using this mod, you’ll be able to add up to 3 laser turrets (1×1) to your game. The laser effects that this mod uses are based on Biotech, so you’re going to have to have it purchased (and loaded, of course).
10. HALO: UNSC Faction – This mod adds factions, apparel, weapons and equipment from the Halo universe, specifically those used by the United Nations Space Command, who are actually a player-neutral faction introduced by the mod. On the other hand there’s The Insurrectionist faction, a group of rebels that are similar to pirates, except they’ve a chance to spawn with UNSC equipment. This faction is permanently hostile to the player – be careful when approaching!
