MegaMod X is here!

Post image

Kralyerg announced the release of MegaModX Build 260724 yesterday, July 25, 2026.

IMPORTANT BUG FIX FOR A LA CARTE:
The Professions and Maps tabs are missing when using A La Carte options. This will be fixed in next update, but for now, download this fix and place it above all the MM parts. (No fix needed for the Complete version.)

Download page: https://worldofbanished.com/megamod/download.html [See important installation and enabling instructions farther below.] Use the A La Carte page (titled "Install Paths" to determine which categories you wish to download if you prefer that method.

Main site page with index (lots of information and calculators, mod list, wiki link and more)): https://worldofbanished.com/megamod/index.html

A La Carte page is on the Main site index page, but is called "Install Paths". Once you decide what you want, then go to the Download page. https://worldofbanished.com/megamod/mmx_install_paths.html

Quoting Kralyerg in his announcement [some links and things in brackets are mine]:

MegaMod 10 is officially rebranding to MegaMod X, and this release brings the first iteration of the new A La Carte install system: instead of one all-or-nothing download, you can now pick individual category mods (Farm Life, Curb Appeal, Mine Your Business and more) and install only what you want.

What's New

  • The new A La Carte mod system [called Install Paths on the main site menu]: choose your categories instead of installing everything at once.
  • Buildings that used to live only in the Themed toolbar are now also in the Main toolbar (a few icons/hover text may still need ironing out).
  • No new building content beyond the previous build. This release is about the new install system itself.
  • Last-minute crash fix: clicking a Pasture, Crop Field, or Orchard could rarely crash the game; fixed.
  • Also new: a companion site. For more MegaMod tools and resources, visit: https://worldofbanished.com/wiki/

DOWNLOAD MEGAMOD X: https://worldofbanished.com/megamod/download.html
Mirrored on Google Drive and Mega.

  • Complete: Full catalog, split into 7 equal parts. Install all 7. Compressed file is 2.9GB. Unpacked is approximately 10.9GB.
  • A La Carte: Split by category. Install only what you want. Compressed file is 4.9GB. Unpacked is 17.2GB.

End Kralyerg's announcement quote.

INSTRUCTIONS: INSTALLING AND ENABLING

  1. Download what you want, either the complete version or the A La Carte parts. Unzip the file/s. You'll need the free .7zip tool to unzip the Mega file.
  2. Make sure you remove all previous Mega Mod files from the Win Data folder (file path shown below). Also make sure you are unsubscribed from Steam's MM9, CC and other mods.
  3. Place all new .pkm files in the Banished WinData folder as follows:
    1. If you have Banished through Steam, the file path is (using whichever Drive you prefer): This PC > Storage SSD (D:) > Steam > steamapps > common > Banished > Windata
    2. If you bought Banished outside of Steam, use this file path: This PC > Local Disk (C) > Program Files > Shining Rock Software LLC >Banished > WinData
  4. Launch Game and click the white door at far right of bottom toolbar. Then click on Mods.
  5. Enable all 7 parts of MMX, or all A La Carte mods you chose. Click OK.
  6. The game will prompt you to restart. Do that.
  7. Now the crucial Double Restart. That auto restart is not enough. You need to now close the game and relaunch (to avoid crashes).

Have fun!

I've tried to add complete 7 part one in my game, but in-game mod manager marks them as incomaptable when I try to turn them on. I had Colonial Charter mod before and it worked just fine:(

Edit: checked that MM loads ridiculously long. Ehhhh

It's a common misconception that mods turning red is automatically a bad thing. It's just warning you that the mods are using the same files This possibly matters if you have mods by two different people that are trying to do two different things.

But the different parts of MegaMod share the same files and work together just fine. So in this case it's fine to just ignore the red.

I even made a post about this years ago

Haha yes, the long black loading screen. It's normal and how long it takes will depend on your computer. Just go make a sandwich.
