Expanded Materials - Metals is a mod that aims to add complexity and difficulty to the gameplay experience of Rimworld by adding new metal resources such as iron or copper. The mod is aimed to be integrated with the vanilla game and some of the most popular mods out there. You can expect more complex production chains and more immersive gameplay, especially if you are seeking for a challenge and variety.

There might be some things that aren't reached by the automatic patch code or whose cost list doesn't make sense. If you find something like this while playing, make sure to report it in the pinned discussion so that I'll be able to add it to my roadmap and fix it when I have the time.

Q: Where are the settings?
A: Under the "Vanilla Expanded Framework" tab.
Q: Save game compatible?
A: Adding the mod mid-game will not cause issues, but the new resources will not generate naturally.
Q: Can I switch from the old version?
A: No, sadly. This new version has new code and internal names, and switching will 100% break your save.
Q: Can I suggest a feature?
A: Sure thing! Leave a comment below or join my Discord server.
Q: Are you seeking help for these?
A: I do modding because it's fun and because I want to add new things to my own playthroughs, but I'm always open to collaborations and new opportunities to make great things. My DMs are open and you're invited to join my Discord server to discus your ideas.
Q: Will you add compatibility for X mod?
A: It's unlikely that I will make patches for mods that I don't use, that's why I made my best effor to make automatic patchers and make the mod as intuitive as possible, so that other modders will be able to make their own patches if they want to. You can reach to me for help if you want, I don't mind it at all!
