-==Finding mods==
+#REDIRECT [[Modding]]
-Look online and find a mod that you want to try out. The main source for finding mods is the [http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?board=15.0 mod release section] on the forums.<br/>
-Once you find a mod you like that is '''compatible''' with the version of RimWorld you have, you can download them from their individual threads.<br/><br/>
-==Installation==
-# Open the downloaded ZIP archive;
-# Go to your RimWorld download location;
-# '''Windows''':
-## Drag and drop the extracted ModName folder into your RimWorld***Win/Mods/ folder (not in Core);
-# '''Mac''':
-## Right-click the RimWorld application and ''show package contents'';
-## Drag and drop the ZIP archive's ModName folder into your Mods folder (not in Core) in the application package;
-# Start up your game;
-# Click the Mods button and activate your mods.
-Some mods require a fresh world generation to work.<br/><br/>
-===Editing mods folder===
-In case your game stops running after you installed a mod, it's useful to have a backup of the mods folder somewhere. This way, you will always be able to undo a mistake that may occur.<br/>
-<!-- I have no idea whether this is at all useful info -->It is also very important to never delete the ThingCategories.xml file in your mod pack; doing this will result in a black screen when trying to start the game up.<br/><br/>
-===Compatibility===
-Not all mods are compatible with eachother:<br/>
-* Many content mods; such as Weapon, Apparel, Faction or even Hair mods; are compatible with eachother;
-* Mods that change the same base game files, such as combat overhaul mods, are usually incompatible;
-* Mods that add functionality to base game things are compatible but usually won't include the things from content mods;
-* Modpack authors try to make mods in their pack compatible with eachother. Adding or updating mods might break the pack.
-You will know if you have incompatible mods if you are having serious gameplay issues, such as unplaceable items, graphical issues, colonists getting stuck, etc.<br/>
-Having a console error might point to incompatibility as well, but some mods are expected to have console errors on start up.
