I am considering creating a mod for Deep Rock Galactic, but wanted to check to see if one exists first.

I may start with the creatures and go from there.

Does this mod already exist?

EDIT: After creatures, weapons/armor/ore and then plants/beer

Download [44.12] Elf Fortress v1.0

This mod adds playable elf civilizations.



Elves can grow sacred trees (in the workshop build menu) which allow them to grow seeds (by communing with nature at the sacred tree). These seeds can then be used to grow wood items directly from the sacred tree. Seeds can also be used to grow wood logs which can be used as building mats or crafted into items at the carpenters workshop the vanilla way.



This mod does not edit any vanilla files.

The elves can grow the following sacred trees. The seeds from these trees can be grown directly into the following item types:

BIRCH = Cages/Weapons/Traps/SeigeAmmo
MAPLE = Mechanisms/Blocks/Pipes/Grates/Floodgates/SiegeParts
OAK = Furniture/Doors/Hatches/Statues
PINE = Armor/Shields
WILLOW = Barrels/Boxes/Bins/Tools/Splints/Crutches/Crafts

Biomes with sparse trees are the easiest to build in. Heavily forested areas, can be played in, but some sacred trees (such as the sacred oak) may not fit on the map, and building up into the canopy can be difficult (as trees cannot be cut down). Heavily forested areas can still be played in, but you will have to convert grown logs from smaller sacred trees (like birch) into items at the carpenter's workshop shop (instead of growing them directly).

I recommend building Briar Thickets from birch seeds (in the workshop build menu) as early defenses. These act as quick defensive walls, but they can be destroyed by building destroyers.

I encourage any feedback, concerns or recommendations.

This mod is completely compatible with [44.12] Dog Breeds and [44.12] Fishing Expanded. Install this mod last.

I am thinking about creating an overhaul mod that changes the game setting to a world of anthropomorphic insects. It would basically change trees into weeds, grass into moss, tigers into spiders, dwarves into anthropomorphic ants, etc. Has anyone done something similiar in the past? I would be replacing everything in the game with insect sized creatures/plants including the stones/minerals/etc. Any thoughts on this? Any ideas?

Download: [44.12] ROTMK - Mole People (Unofficial Add-On) v1.0

Download: [44.12] ROTMK - No Aquifers (Unofficial Add-On) v1.0



This is an unofficial add-on to the Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom Mod by IndigoFenix that adds the mole people from Super Mario RPG as a playable race.

This add-on requires ROTMK to be installed first. Install this add-on after ROTMK is installed and overwrite the files. The optional (No Aquifers) download simply removes all aquifers from ROTMK for an easier gameplay experience with the moles.









I appreciate any feedback, concerns or recommendations.

Download [47.04] Human Fortress v2.0



This mod adds playable vanilla-esc human civilizations. It allows the player to use everything available to dwarves while still feeling like a different experience by forcing the humans onto the surface and creating long crop harvest cycles and a viable lumber industry. Only minor changes were made to the vanilla files (see below).

Current Features:

> Adds the following nobility positions to humans available dependent on settlement size (village, town, city):
• Rulers: king, duke, count, baron, lord, [squad members: crown guards, royal guards]
• Administration: steward (manager), chamberlain (bookkeeper), chancellor (broker), physician (chief medical)
• Diplomacy: foreign ambassador (diplomat), royal emissary (outpost liaison)
• Law Enforcement: knight, executioner, guard captain, [squad members: village guards, town guards, city guards]

> Adds padded armor and padded hoods that can be made out of cloth at the clothier's workshop
> Adds a reaction to create quivers out of cloth at the clothier's workshop
> Adds quarterstaffs that can be made out of wood at the crafting workshop

Starter Guide:
> You start with a lord or lady, who can appoint a steward, chamberlain, chancellor, physician, guard captain and seargent, but these are not needed at the start as most have housing requirements. I recommend starting by assigning 2 wood cutters/carpenters, 3 farmers and 1 animal handler.
> Start with the following buildings/areas: farm plots, sawmill, animal pasture, meeting area, temple zone, stockpiles.
> Next build a village wall and a building for the lord/lady using wood blocks from the sawmill. Remember to plant crops early. If the biome freezes, you will need your harvest to last the winter or you will have to find another food source.

I encourage any feedback, concerns or recommendations.

This mod is completely compatible with [47.04] Dog Breeds and [47.04] Fishing Expanded. Install this mod last.

Download [47.04] Goblin Fortress v2.2



The goblin hordes are ready for war!

This mod adds a comprehensive playable goblin race without changing any vanilla files.

Goblins are now a tribal race. Every goblin civilization is made up of tribes ruled by Goblin Chieftains. Their warriors are led by War Chiefs and their medical and spiritual needs are met by Shamans. Tribes are ruthless and aggressive and fight among themselves as often as they fight the other civilizations. Occasionally a Goblin King will unite a few goblin tribes but civil wars remain rampant.

The goblins have all of the features that dwarves have, but are supposed to feel like a completely different experience. They are meant to be played as violent, greedy, war driven and vile creatures. A consistent meat source is required for food and a bone supply is desired for their labors.

Current Features:
> Goblins: Carnivores, Large Litters, Short Child Duration, War Driven
> Pets: Cave Rats, Beak Dogs, Worgs (Milkable and Shearable), Giant Cave Spiders, Giant Cave Bats, Cave Crocodiles, Trolls, Ogres, Dwarf Slaves, Human Slaves, Elf Slaves, Goblin Slaves
> Nobility: King, Tribal Chieftains, War Chiefs, Shamans
• Goblin King: Goblin Kings are demanding, greedy and ruthless rulers that rule under a demon overlord.
• Tribal Chieftain: Tribal Chieftains rule over goblin tribes. They are responsible for all management, bookkeeping and broker jobs. They are also responsible for law making and keeping order in a fortress. A Goblin King will replace a Tribal Chieftain.
• Shaman: Shamans are spiritual and medical healers. They counsel upset goblins and heal the wounded.
• War Chief: War Chiefs are military commanders that also give out punishments to citizens.
> Diseases: Cave Blight, Cave Lice, Cave Mites, Prions Disease
> Meat Alcohol
> Stone Anvils
> Bone Building Materials
> Bone Furniture
> Bone Weapons and Armor
> Patrolling hostile goblin armies during gameplay
> Constant conflict and war (including civil wars between tribes)

Starter Guide:
This is a generic step by step list to get you started with this mod. It is only a suggested starter guide.
1. Set the world starting age to at least year 125.
2. Take the following at embark (included in embark profile):

• 7 Copper Picks
• 3 Copper Axe
• 50 Copper Bars
• 11 Cave Rat Meat
• 60 Cave Rats
• 5 Beak Dogs
• 10 Human Slaves

3. Turn gather refuse (and vermin remains) from outside on.
4. Assign a tribal chieftain and then (close/open nobility screen) assign a shaman and war chief.
* Consider giving nicknames to these goblins for easy future reference.
5. Butcher 10 cave rats.
6. Build a bedroom, office and tomb for the tribal chieftain.
* Bone Furniture is much more valuable to goblins than wood or stone.
* Bone Building Materials and Furniture can be created at the Bonecarver's Workshop.
7. Build a bedroom and tomb for the shaman and war chief
8. Raid! Pillage! Attack! (anyone and everyone)
* Stone anvils can be created at the Mason's Workshop.
* Bone Weapons and Armor can be created at the Bonecarver's Workshop.
* Meat Alcohol can be created at the Corpse Still.

I highly recommend downloading [47.04] Fishing Expanded and [47.04] Vermin Birds with this mod. These mods remove wild animals from the wild animal cap that are inaccessible (i.e. swimming and flying) so that bones are easier to obtain.




POLL DETAILS
What would you like to see expanded upon in this mod:
> Diseases: Turn the goblin pits into disgusting and festering pits of disease and filth by adding at least a dozen more common diseases that spread quickly among the population. These would include: plagues, blights, infections and small creatures like fleas as well as filth and grime.

> Drugs: Turn the goblin pits into a place of hardship and chaos as commoners fiend for their next fix, laborers work non-stop in drug induced trances and warriors fight in narcotic frenzies.
> Demonic Blessings & Curses: Turn the goblin pits into a place of demonic worship. Fanatics build altars, shrines and monuments for abyssal gifts from their demonic lords.
> Other (comment suggestion)
