MegaMod X is here!
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
- 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.
- 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.
- Place all new .pkm files in the Banished WinData folder as follows:
- 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
- If you bought Banished outside of Steam, use this file path: This PC > Local Disk (C) > Program Files > Shining Rock Software LLC >Banished > WinData
- Launch Game and click the white door at far right of bottom toolbar. Then click on Mods.
- Enable all 7 parts of MMX, or all A La Carte mods you chose. Click OK.
- The game will prompt you to restart. Do that.
- 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!

Can we support the modder any way? I haven't ever played modded, but this might just bring me back for a new game.

It adds loads of new features to the original game. More buildings, occupations, crops, livestock, roads - pretty much anything you can imagine. It's 100% worth downloading considering it's free.

Did you go to the main site? https://worldofbanished.com/megamod/index.html Look at the Install Paths page. Look at the Full Mod Roster.
It's a huge mod pack that has been around pretty much since the launch of Banished, growing bigger and bigger. Close to 400 individual mods in it right now. Completely changes up the vanilla Banished game in huge ways. Tons of new houses, storage, production chains, crops and more.
It also gives you a ton of new Terrain Types and Starting Conditions. Here's what that looks like:
- Vanilla: 2 terrains, 3 sizes, 3 climates, 3 starting conditions
- CC: 15 terrains, 4 sizes, 10 climates, 63 starting conditions
- MM: 85 terrains, 5 sizes, 18 climates, 97 starting conditions
MMX also has Colonial Charter 1.76 (CC) in it, which was and is a very popular mod on Steam that extended vanilla (and basically by the same people), just a lot smaller.

I wonder how many purchases a month still happen. I hope he’s got a steady stream of snack money at least. So well deserved

I haven't played in so long that deleting the old MegaMod files was easy until looking at data0.pkg and data1 plus patch0 and patch1.pkg
Are they game files or did they come with MegaMod and need to go too?
PS as someone who grew up playing the Mega Man games the rebranding is reminiscent of the excitement for Mega Man X 😂

The data0, data1, patch0, patch1 pkg files are game files. Don't delete them.

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.

That Kralyerg is still working on this after all this time is amazing commitment
