This is a reuploaded Vanilla Base Generation Expanded that will work on versions 1.5 onward. If you're on 1.4, please subscribe to THIS instead.

Vanilla Base Generation Expanded is a mod many have been waiting for. Probably one of the most disappointing aspects of venturing out in a caravan in RimWorld is the fact that no matter where you go and no matter what base you raid, after you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Vanilla Bases tend to often resemble so called ‘20 granite door borg cube bases’.

Kikohi set out on a mission to fix that, and with the help from our testing community, we have created a huge library of assets that the base will pull out of, procedurally generating unique villages, towns and megabases every time you visit a new location.

The look of the bases and the assets use vary from faction to faction - tribal villages will have swathes of farmland around them, whilst pirate bases will be essentially bunkers with mortars and automatic defenses.

Q: Does this mod work with Better Faction Bases, Bigger Faction Bases, Larger Faction Bases etc?
A: Yes, but every faction that derivate from the vanilla faction will use this mod generation instead.

Q: Does this mod affect any modded factions?
A: Yes, every faction that derivate from the vanilla faction definitions.

Q: Can I disable some aspect of the mod?
A: No, it comes in as a package. You’re either accepting all of it, or none of it.

Q: Do I need VE framework for it to work?
A: All the faction mods require Vanilla Expanded Framework to work. Make sure you always have the last version

Q: Is this mod making the game harder?
A: It will make attacking bases slightly more difficult, with more turrets and defenders, but also make attacking them much more fun and rewarding!

Q: Is this mod save game compatible?
A: Yes.

Q: Why did you reupload the mod?
A: Previous version was uploaded by Kikohi who has left the modding scene, thus we're no longer able to update it.

I remember having this mod and still have the same issue I had with the vanilla generation; I usually just find a single 6x6 building or two smaller ones whenever I get to an event... lol, boring as hell, not sure if its this mod, hope it will help fixing that°!

there is a slight issue with slaves that spawn in bases, some of the slaves are part of a completely different faction, this by itself is not much of an issue however with the odyssey DLC if you have any free prisoner beds available on your gravship the slaves that you can't control will just claim them and start mooching off of your food and just wander inside and refuse to exit, you cant just imprison them as this instantly makes the faction that they are a part of hostile, and you cant just kill them as you also just make the faction hostile.

a fix that i can think of for this would be to make sure that the slaves that spawn in a faction base are actually part of that faction.

im assuming that this is intentional to force a player to be a bit more careful with their approach to prevent getting new enemies so my idea might not work but this becomes problematic when the slaves just don't leave.

Hi just wanted to ask, most factions seem to have their bases empty due to the environment (i have VFE props which makes logs and decorations around) but it feels like the buildings are very often supposed to spawn on water/lava or some special things from alpha biomes which make them simply not spawn i'll get maybe one or two buildings. Is it a known issue or is it due to a mod conflict ?

is this compat with better exploration loot?

Second thing, the first one we know why it happens, but it's very hard to fix

@Sarg Bjornson Were you saying that there isn't a fix for expanded bases spawning partially underwater, or was that a response to someone asking about whether their 1.5 save could be salvaged?

You can't remove any mods from a save

Since I can't seem to find this info anywhere, is this mod safe to remove from a save game? I know it says safe to add, but what about removing? It's currently causing a bug that prevents me from being able to open the debug menu.

I don't think there *is* a possible fix, sadly

Will there be a fix / is it being investigated or should I just scrap my unfortunately rather invested save
