...Many of the passages are longer than 600 yards (550 meters) and tall enough for an adult to walk through without bending.

Fuck. I “bricked” my Rimworld with too many mods awhile ago. I need to get back to troubleshooting…I love that game.

Rip em all out and try the bare essentials. You know, cut the list down to just 100 or so mods.

Already did. There are about about 96 mods I can’t play without. You know how it goes. I should have waited longer after Odyssey to try and build a mod list.

I’m thinking I’ll just start over clean and it will fix itself because a lots must have been smoothed out by now.
