Ideology is the heart of the "Full" experience. It allows you to craft a religion or set of social memes. When you enable all DLCs, your ideology can worship the mechanoid hive from Biotech or treat anomalies from Anomaly as holy relics.
Negatives:
1. Solves the "Loot Hoover" Problem: In the current game, you hoard legendary loot just to sell it to orbital traders for silver you don't need. This feature gives you a reason to keep and "consume" that loot to power up your favorite colonist’s signature weapon. It creates a meaningful resource sink for late-game wealth. rimworld 143901 all dlcs full
2. Deep DLC Integration: Instead of being a standalone mod-like system, it ties the DLCs together:
3. Narrative Emergence: Your "Town Mayor" isn't just holding a generic Charge Rifle anymore. He is holding "The Judge," a rifle that was Masterwork, but you infused with a Psychic Soothestone. Now, every time he shoots a raider, it emits a psychic pulse that calms the mental breaks of nearby allies. The weapon now has a story you wrote through the mechanics.

If you are searching for this specific build, you are likely a modder. Version 143901 is the current "gold standard" for mod compatibility. As of this writing, over 85% of the Steam Workshop’s top 100 mods (Vanilla Expanded, Combat Extended, RimHUD, Dubs Bad Hygiene) have been updated to work flawlessly with this build provided you own all DLCs.
Warning: Trying to run a "Full DLC" mod pack without Anomaly will cause red errors. Conversely, trying to run the "Anomaly" mods on an older build (like 1.3) will crash your game. 143901 is the bridge. Negatives:
Ideology revolutionized roleplay. It allows you to create a belief system for your colony (Cannibal Tunnelers, Tree-worshipping Druids, Transhumanists).
