Last week Mr. K announced the public beta release for the MEGA Mod. In brief, this is a huge compilation of over 80+ mods created by a wide variety of talented people. Even better is how the work of sorting out load order and conflicts is done for you. That, in itself was a tremendous undertaking! All one has to do is download the archive of the mod, and extract to wherever the mods for Banished reside on your machine. If you've never done a manual install of a Banished mod it is not hard (read directions on the Banished Info website).
The best news of all, for viewers of my YouTube Channel, is the fact the MEGA mod does not interfere with the current mods in use for my ongoing series (Water World). Happily, that can continue for a while. I will, however, start doing a few videos on the MEGA mod quite soon. The interface, for example, for selecting structures to build has been revamped so as to consolidate types. Options, in many cases LOTS of them, are available for all standard building along with some totally new ones. I've only had my hands on it for a few days, so the first videos will be overviews and so forth.
One word of caution, however. Those with older machines may find it impossible to run. The performance tip I wrote about a short time ago would probably help some, so do check that out. I'm seriously considering re-installing Banished and so forth on my old laptop just to give it a whirl. It is 3-4 years old in so far as today's tech, but can run Windows 10 just fine. Until I try that, I can't say too much else! Happy gaming everyone!
