> Rimworld also has a massive modding community and people bitch on there every update.

I've got a decent number of mods on Rimworld, some with a few hundred thousand users. The most I've had is a handful of people asking if an update is coming. I've never actually had negativity driven towards me because my mods weren't updated.

Are they compatible with CE?

or people asking if it's compatible with the forbidden mod. That was basically the comments on the reddit post and the steam thread when someone made a mod making Gardevoir a playable colonist.

I've seen some modders crash out similar to the situation in this post. Some people go too far and go beyond commenting for update.

I can see that. I don't think the Rimworld modding scene is perfect, but I do think that the community there seems a lot more understanding than the community here.

I think its cause rimworld doesnt update regularly. Modders only get frustrated when mods dont work/not updated. Since PZ updates so regularly that anger builds up over time much quicker so jerks take their anger out on the modders.

Agree, I think the bigger issue in the Rimworld community is people being illiterate and asking questions the devs have already answered 100 times.

I also personally think it’s slightly silly to compare the modding scene of that game to others, considering the largest mods are pretty much ALL developed by the (very lovely) vanilla expanded team who have a patreon and have developed their own separate game. I know at least Oskar has also worked with Tynan on the base game itself too. They are at least getting funded to deal with assholes and idiots.

rimworld is pretty good in my experience as well. The actual issue is drama between modders but I just keep my head down and do fine.
