During my time playing *RimWorld*, I’ve often found myself both amused and exasperated by Tynan’s approach to endgame gear—things like the crippling slowdown from knight armor, the deliberately short range of charge rifles, and the baffling bandwidth costs of certain mechanoids.
So I created this mod to expand the late-game experience, adding new content and, for good measure, a new mechanoid boss. Now you can challenge fresh enemies, unlock powerful weapons and armor, and even field combat mechanoids! Plus, there’s hand-drawn artwork (no, really).
In the latest update, I’ve also added a unique recruitable boss as the mod’s ultimate challenge—give it your all to defeat her! She comes with her own mechanics, skills, and a built-in好感度 system complete with dialogue mini-games, helping flesh out her character and the mod’s story.
The mod is currently in testing and still has some rough edges, but it’s playable in its current state. I’ll continue rolling out the remaining content in future updates. If you have thoughts on balancing or crafting costs, feel free to leave a comment—your feedback helps make this mod better.
This is my very first mod, so there are likely plenty of imperfections, but I’ll keep refining it. The art is also due for a refresh to better match the game’s latest visual direction.
**Q&A**
**Q: Will this mod be compatible with mods like Combat Extended or Sparkling Worlds – The Full Refund?**
A: CE compatibility isn’t planned—sorry to CE fans, but it’s a logistical headache from every angle. As for Sparkling Worlds, I won’t be supporting it either; the power levels just don’t align. No disrespect to that mod—it’s well-made—but I don’t plan on making them compatible.
**Q: Why does your art style look so different?**
A: I’d say it’s just my personal style. Mods don’t have to perfectly mirror the base game’s art, and I’ve made tweaks to help it feel more at home in the *RimWorld* universe.
**Q: How’s the mod’s balance? Is it too overpowered or too difficult?**
A: I’m a vanilla player at heart—I find even some of the official Vanilla Expanded mods a bit overtuned. So I’ve kept the balance close to the base game. As for difficulty, I’m constantly tweaking values to ensure the rewards match the risks, so you won’t get overpowered without putting in real effort.
**Q: Is it compatible with other mods? Can I add it mid-save?**
A: Yes and yes. The mod is built with compatibility in mind and doesn’t make any sweeping changes to core mechanics, so it *should* be safe to add to existing saves—unless you’re using something like CE that overhauls the game’s foundation.
**Known Issues:**
1. Due to unavoidable reasons, this mod may conflict with other mods that alter control range mechanics; I’ve already implemented compatibility measures.
2. Not compatible with TPS Optimizer - Performance [No Longer Supported].
3. Warning: Do not attempt to take control of the boss version of Sigonal. You’ve been warned.
4. This major update may cause the Scorpion Helmet to disappear due to an ID change—my apologies to everyone.
**Note!** This mod is currently in beta, and balancing is still a work in progress. Current test version: V0.8.

*A Message for Our International Friends:
I previously mentioned that I would add an English translation for this mod, but the truth is, I don’t have any knowledge of English—let alone the ability to do proper, natural-sounding localization. On top of that, due to other commitments in my life, I simply don’t have the energy to work on a translation. I want to apologize to all international players for this.
I hope that someone proficient in both Chinese and English might be willing to take on the translation for this mod.
