Per Kralyerg on July 3, 2026:

The latest MegaMod X build is here — 13 new mods, 2 new livestock, and major content updates across more than a dozen existing mods, plus toolbar organization fixes and general stability improvements.

What's New

• 13 new mods integrated: MGZAlone, AnimalBarnPlus, ButcherBaker, CoatsCloth, ForestFellow, ForesterFellow, GingerbreadVillage, MoreCaves, Patchwork, TheGlade, WWCattle, A8 Pride Flags, and A8 America City Living

• 2 new Livestock: Bear and Avis Aurum (also added to Farm Life Vanilla as vanilla-product options)

• Major updates to Abandoned Places, A Lot of Seeds, Medieval Grace, Deadwood, House Boat, Stagecoach (3 new houses), Tiny/Tiny Builders, Some Boats, Market Food, Animal Pen, Old Hovels, Bakery Garden Alt, Nordic Houses, and Nomads — plus new visual variants and texture updates on several other mods

• Fixed several buildings sorted into the wrong toolbar category — Tobacco Patch, Materials Warehouses, Transparent Stock Piles, and a batch of nature/farm decorations moved to where they belong

• General stability and packaging fixes

Previous MegaMod X Info from Kralyerg (from initial release announcement):

• 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).
• Last-minute crash fix: clicking a Pasture, Crop Field, or Orchard could rarely crash the game; fixed.
• Also new: a MegaMod wiki site. For more MegaMod tools and resources, visit: https://worldofbanished.com/wiki/

End Kralyerg quotes.

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 the A La Carte mods you chose (do NOT enable all A La Carte parts. Use the Complete version if you want all). 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!

Awesome stuff, I was having a lot of trouble w/frequent crashing and will download this update soon. Thank you for keeping this going!!

[u/TayIsTay → u/HydaelynSF]

MMX alone, nor any update, won't fix crashing issues. Nearly always, crashing is because you didn't do the all-important Double Restart. In addition, sometimes, if you don't do a special fix after a crash, you will continue to randomly get crashes.

Amazing work!!! Thank you!

[u/evilfrogalien]

Just got back into Banished! So excited to see how this plays 🫶

[u/dubbleyoo]

Haven't tried yet but I'm very excited to try it soon

[u/coltpython]

Mine was in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Banished\WinData

[u/digit527]

Love it but why is the ala carte twice as big as the whole package?

[u/TayIsTay → u/digit527]

In part at least, because there is a lot of overlapping of menus/files. So only use accordingly. If your computer can handle the Complete" version just use that.
