[Release] Vanilla Outposts Expanded (Patreon)

Vanilla Outposts Expanded can be described as an incredibly Lite version of mods like Saakra’s Empire. Players will be able to form a caravan and travel to a location on the world map, where they can set up different kinds of outposts, towns and camps. Each of these location will yield different bonuses depending on the types of pawns as well as their skills.

This is by no means a complex management mod. In fact, we put extra work to make it as intuitive and organic as possible. Outposts can be used to get rid of unwanted pawns - they have no upkeep, and colonists in outposts don’t need to be micromanaged - they will literally provide themselves with the resources they need. All you need to do is find a suitable location for the outpost and send the necessary amount of pawns. Think of it like Outposts in Frostpunk, where everything that happens in the outposts is outside of your control or attention.

Outposts can, however, be raided. It then generates a map with that outpost and all the crew in it, and you have to fend off against the attackers.

Periodically, outposts will send a pack animal with the resources. Create an Outpost drop off spot and the animal will deliver the resources to this location. Consider building defensive outposts, especially in late game, as they will be able to reinforce other locations around themselves via drop pods.

I hope you will enjoy this rather simple on the surface mod. It’s been fun developing it, and I’m sure it will be fun for you to get rid of all the pyromaniacs and wimps, whilst also getting some supplies in return!
