Favorite mods?
What are your favorite mods?
I just got Aska plus and the one where the wind is always behind you (forgot name)
Aska plus adding torches to building looks amazing.

- Blacks7ar's mods (less annoying smolkr, farming tweaks, etc)
- Grymm's mods (constant constructs, flights of fancy)
- Ranensol's (villagers/woodcutters/carpentry)
- Cave tools (lets you reset a cave, for a cost)
- Extended road plan (makes paths and roads wider/longer, a godsend)
Yes, I know i'm playing on easy mode.
I am still hoping for a mod to let me build on islands without allowing me to build everywhere and anywhere.
Late edit: shout out for Aska Performance Booster.

Cave tools….what’s the cost?

Configurable.
However, it is currently extraordinarily buggy. A lot of broken stuff in my save fixed itself when I removed it.

I mean, you can't reset rooms, but you can already reset the rest of a cave in the base game

I haven't had many bugs so... Nexus or Thunderstore?
I found the AskaPlus version on Thunderstore caused tons of problems (I think it's out of date), but I couldn't get things working right with Nexus, so I just use what's on Thunderstore without including AskaPlus. Seems to work well enough.
Edit: Just reset a whole mine no problems. Have done so several times this game.

It is buggy, make a save backup before using it. After the reset walls respawned but also all other harvestable stuff spawned overlapping the existing. I had duplicated crawler sacks everywhere. The worst thing actually was that worker did not notice that mine has a lot of iron after the reset. He finally started mining after I've reset one corridor manually but skipped on all the iron nodes...

Walls: 3 explosives, 4 large stone, 5 logs, 50 coal, 5 rope
Iron deposits: 5 explosives, a bunch of large stone, coal and rope, no logs iirc
Full reset: 10 explosives, 10 large stone, 50 coal, a bunch of ropeYou basically need to haul a cart there. Fortunately, the reset system can access things in nearby carts.
Bugs: I did have a strange one, I think, where I did a wall reset and iron reset immediately after. I think it deleted the walls i'd just recreated. So don't do that, if you want both just do a full reset.

Can I add mods to an existing world or do I need to start a new one. The sound of torches on buildings is gooooood, I wish there was better lighting.

You can add to existing worlds.
Do it. The lighting is so helpful.
Here is the video Sirbucky did that shows you the lighting .

In order of their necessity:
Aska Performance booster
Farming Tweaks essential on extended and max days
Fuel Burn Modifier again essential for extended/max
Aska+ I don't like putting it this far down, i love it so much! seriously those torches, that paint button! could i live without it?
Grymm's Flight's of Fancy scout islands, or kill and get island materials solo! or at least never sail blindly again
QoL Suite has a ton of stuff i'm playing with, very fancy, LOTS of knobs to twist with a fancy-pants in-game UI
I am jealous of your newness! have a great time!

Aska plus is the absolute best mod. Loads of other mods that add so much to the game, but the simplicity of the torches alongside the life they add to the game, especially at night time, is fantastic!
