The modlist for this game numbers about 160 but the more prominent mods featured in the story are as follows:
1. Cabbage's RimCities for the 'City Under Attack' quest
2. rooki12k's Rimsenal Federation Faction (with a brief mention of Rimsenal's Feral Faction and Neronix17's Outpost 21's Kobolds)
3. Scarjit's Ra2Bunker [1.1] for the bunker used (made out of Concrete Slabs by Poroh's Concrete Walls mod)

8. Itzal's Main Pack, Bonus guns and Too Many Guns for the Ascended Rifle used by Eliza, AA Cannon used by Celestia and Explosive Sniper Rifle used by Cy. The guns are somewhere in there, I think...too many weapon mods to be sure where they came from (lol).
9. Daniledman's Mechalit Core 1.1 for element X-32 material used in Andrew's longsword (which is far superior to even personalized linkswords, lol)
10. Oskar Potocki's Rimworld: Spartan Foundry and Trukens/Mlie's Spartan Foundry Warcraft for crafting nice power armor

Among other mods like Ykara's EPOE and the afore-mentioned EDB PrepareCarefully etc.
