In their own words
RimSort
RimSort is a free, GPL-3.0 community mod manager and sorter for RimWorld, with Windows, macOS, and Linux support. It orders mod lists from mod data, community rules, and Steam data, while detecting conflicts and warning about missing dependencies or incompatibilities. Lists can be imported, exported, saved, and appended. SteamworksPy connects with the Steam client and can launch the game through the Steam API; the Steam Browser downloads Workshop mods through SteamCMD or the client, even without a Steam RimWorld copy. RimSort also handles Git-based mods and databases, shares logs through 0x0.st, and shares mod lists through Rentry.co. Its todds DDS encoder offers three texture-optimization presets. Database tools build, compare, merge, publish, and edit rules. Optional external metadata databases require separate configuration. Releases may trigger antivirus false detections, and Snap-installed Steam is unsupported on Linux.
