Great; I have to rebuild my list anyway. Something updated recently and now all I get is a blank screen.
I guess my issue is that some mods are already being updated to 1.7, causing compatibility issues with 1.6. So the colony I’ve been playing is presumably stuck in limbo until 1.7 goes live.
I hope there is more news coming for 1.7. The engine upgrade is a big improvement for many people, but I’m not one of them since I don’t really use mods and colonies tend to be small (because so many people die.)
1.7 has gone live and RimWorld didn’t stop loading at ~11 minutes, like it had been. That’s a very good sign.
Still can’t use GravTide. 
Huh. RimSort got these to load.
ETA: sounds like Age of Sail would be more useful; I’ll try that instead. This way, those retired pirates can still start with their pirate ship.
Hm. Whatever RimSort does to get those to work breaks Dev Mode’s menus, which I need to keep my rock and correct other terrain issues.
For example, my current colony’s deep ocean water keeps getting replaced by other terrain on reload; right now, what is supposed to be deep ocean water is soil.
Now I’m redoing my mod list. Something updated this morning and broke it.
Man, I can’t even get a list with just a couple dozen to work! Guess I’ll just stop playing and hope whatever’s broken gets fixed.
