Tribal Defences Mod

Author of the Tribal Defences Mod: mlie

Tribal Defences Mod adds several tribal-themed defensive options, armor pieces, and weapons to RimWorld, giving low-tech colonies more ways to protect themselves before reaching advanced military research.

Tribal Defences Mod Features

  • Earthen mounds: Defensive structures that provide more cover than rock chunks but less than sandbags. They can be built on diggable terrain.
  • Tribal helmet: A wooden tribal helmet that requires Smithing research.
  • Tribal armor: A tough hide coat reinforced with wooden slat armor. It requires Smithing research.
  • Great bow and pila: Tribal weapons that can be crafted at a crafting spot after researching Smithing.
  • Spear: A basic tribal weapon that can be crafted at a crafting spot without research.
  • Pitfall trap: A deep pit with spikes at the bottom. It requires Basic Traps research.

Planned features

  • Bow trap: A planned tribal version of turrets, made with either a great bow or a short bow. It will require Basic Traps research.

The mod author also recommends the Tribal Essentials Modpack for a fuller tribal-focused experience, combining this mod with other tribal mods and additional content.
