Summary
Adding mods to a RimWorld Together server can significantly enhance the gameplay experience by introducing new mechanics, items, and features that expand gameplay possibilities. Mods can tailor the game to specific preferences, foster community engagement, and add variety and challenges. However, mods can also introduce compatibility issues, alter the game's balance, and affect server performance.
