This collection is ment to be for increasing the quality of life of both early game and also late game but not to add too much actual content. Some of the mods here do change early game and my reasoning for this is that I feel Klei is too afraid to modify early game for the better without it being a change to characters themselves as people have become accustomed to the early game even if it isn't as good as the mid or late game is now.

The mods that add actual content and their reasons for me adding them:
* Identify - This mod adds a Magnifying Glass that lets you get prototypes for items that other players have already prototyped so you don't have to do it yourself. This is really useful for playing with friends and not having to waste resources just to fill out your crafting menu.
* Scythes - This slightly speeds up early game allowing you to gather quicker early on lowering the ceiling on how much juggling the player has to do with content early on making the game less frantic at the start; It's still frantic of course but this makes early game feel slightly smoother and less haphazard.
* Swap Characters - Sometimes you and your friends aren't in the mood to play your roles and want to swap, before upgrading the Portal itself this can become a bit exhausting sometimes and having the ability to shake things up and swap roles with your friend allows there to be something to break the monotony.
* Moving Box - Sometimes you place things just slightly wrong, wasting materials and rebuilding can be horribly annoying and feel like a punishment when there isn't supposed to be one. This helps with that.
* Ageful Watch - Sometimes being older is better and waiting on this or taking off all of your gear and taking damage on purpose feels really jank. Having a dedicated item for the deed itself seems like a more natural fit. This is mostly quality of life and less actual content but because it's a new item I wanted to mention it here.
* Mirrored Buildings - This adds a hand mirror that lets you flip structures you build, this is useful for making nicer looking bases. There's nothing really big about this, I just felt like it fit for Vanilla+.
* Pumpkin Patch - The Autumn forests currently have very little to no content; this would help with that and add a new early game food.
