Westerado Wilderness Mod

The Westerado Wilderness Mod alters RimWorld’s biomes to give the game a more western-themed feel while trying to maintain vanilla balance. It adds new plants, harsher arid and cold biomes, flowering variants of some vanilla plants, and compatibility improvements for snowy vegetation.
