What are your favorite/most used mods?

Some that I love to have in every game:

• Squeak through

• Ammo Loader+

• Todo List

• Zoom

LTN. I can no longer play without it.

Squeak Through, Long Reach, Auto Research, Vehicle Snap, Bottleneck, and my newest favorite Even Distribution.

These will all be missed when 0.17 comes out and I go for my Lazy Bastard Railworld vanilla run.

Few mods played , but longest playthrough is probably Custom Terrain Generation and most games started is with Rampant.

Squeak through
rso

Teleportation. Without it, moving around the base would take a terribly long time, since it is divided into parts connected by a railway network.

Bob's and Angel's mods are my favorites. I like to plan more complex systems with waste products. I appreciate also that these mods are somewhat based on real world so that recipes are easy to understand and remember if I have basic knowledge about chemical processes in industry. Some other complex mods with fully fictive materials and recipes are very hard to get really into.

Hardcrafting
RSO

My "100% required mods":
Bottleneck
Squeak Through
YARM (Resource Monitor)
Upgrade Planner
Resource Spawner Overhaul
Auto Deconstruct (Auto marks depleted drills for deconstruction)
EvoGUI (Small information widget)
Foreman (BP manipulator)
Helmod (Planning Calculator)
Auto Research

Nanobots: Early Bots (Adds a nanobot gun to build ghosts pre-conbots)
Nixie Tubes

Other than the bottom two (and RSO); none of these mods adds or modifies entities. I tend to use all of these in practically every save (and I'm kinda leaning towards using Picker Extended on some saves.)

Since almost forever:

Squeak Through
Yuoki
RSO
FNEI
Long Reach (there are people playing without it ... brrrr)
Clock (you so often forget time ...)
Science Cost Tweaker

And, most important mod: "Base mod".

-Most Used -
Electric Furnaces
Mini Loaders
Warehousing
Waterfill Mod

I don't use much ... many mods I would like cause lag issues, so I can not use 'em

I also have Crafting Speed Research and Creative Mode.
