RimWorld News

Hey everyone - here's a new update for RimWorld for all of you!

This wide-ranging update makes a variety of improvements - see the full changelog below.

One critical adjustment is in the proportion of different raid strategies. Previously, mechanoids were using breach raids far too often. I've been seeing feedback about this for a while, so in previous updates we did make some analysis tools and I tried to adjust things to solve it. Unfortunately, I missed the true issue and the problem persisted. After some recent feedback from Reddit, we made some more analysis tools to figure out what's going on, I was shocked to discover how out of whack the numbers were. I'm not sure how I missed this before, but the game wasn't acting anything like I intended. Please accept my apology for not fixing this earlier.

With this update, breach raids are now present but uncommon, with normal raids forming the main threat. I also tweaked the numbers for human factions so the mix of raid strategies should be healthily varied through the whole game. The game will now also reduce the likelihood of getting two raids from the same faction in a row.

Related to that, players' turrets have been buffed gently. Since we have raids that can handle turrets more intelligently now, we can make the turrets stronger against the attacks against which they are effective. All this is subject to ongoing adjustment, of course.

We also did a bunch of work to improve your ability to handle vegetarian, carnivore, and eat-anything colonists together. Previously, you didn't have the management tools needed to identify and separate these peoples' foods properly; now you do.

Biosculpters also have better feedback to help players anticipate the duration of the biosculpting cycles, since these durations change depending on who goes into the pod.

This update should be compatible with all saves and mods.

Many thanks to Nick Barrash for work on extremely fiddly meal-related AI and visualization, Matt Ritchie for helping investigate breacher issues, and Alex Mulford for helping balance player defense tools. Also thanks to TiaPixel for marketing help and to everyone who offered test feedback for the unstable build on the public RimWorld test Discord server.

As always, please don't hesitate to review Ideology on its Steam page!

Until next time,
Ty

[h2]Combat - Turrets[/h2]

- Mini-turret damage increased from 11 to 12.
- Mini-turret accuracy increased: touch 0.7 -> 0.77, short 0.64 -> 0.7, medium 0.41 -> 0.45, long 0.22 -> 0.24.
- Autocannon damage increased from 25 to 27.

- Mortar miss radius reduced from 10 to 9 (when playing without classic mortars active).
- The accuracy of mortars is now related to a pawn's shooting skill. Skill level 8 makes it the same as before. Higher skill will make the mortar more accurate, while lower skill will make it less accurate.
- Turret ammo cost is no longer factored by difficulty.

- Added a way to make special per-faction raid strategy probabilities.
- Adjusted mechanoid raid strategy probabilities so that late game they use breachers about 33% of the time instead of 90% of the time.
- Breachers no longer want to attack passable player buildings. They only target impassable buildings like walls.
- Changed termite thump cannon's damage multiplier versus walls from 4x to 2x (so their damage versus walls dropped from 540 to 270). It now requires 2 shots from a termite to destroy a 300hp steel wall.
- Changed breaching axe's damage multiplier versus walls from 1 to 0.75 (so their damage versus walls drops from 75 to ~56).
- Selection weight of the most recent raid faction is reduced by 60% when choosing a faction for the next raid.
- Adjusted human factions' raid strategy selection weights for slightly more variation.

[h2]Food handling[/h2]

- We now vary meal textures depending on ingredients.
- Food restrictions are automatically applied to pawns from ideoligions that require a specific food type.
- Meals now look differently depending on whether they were made from vegetarian, carnivore, or mixed ingredients. This will help you manage stockpiles of food for pawns with different dietary demands.
- Meal inspect strings now display information regarding their ingredients and who would accept eating them.

- Don't apply ate meat thought if vegetarian eats human meat, allow strong cannibal precepts with meat eating negative precepts.

[h2]Misc improvements[/h2]

- Reworked how tree-lovers respond to the destruction of trees to be smoother and more consistent. Tree Density ideo precept now has a mood penalty directly proportional to the number of destroyed trees, with no effect from biome.
- Biosculpter inspect string now says which pawn and cycle will be run while pawn has job to enter in progress.
- Add LookTarget to the cure message shown when using healer mech serum.

- Biosculpter's inspect pane readout now notes if biosculpting cycle is accelerated by precept (i.e. if the pawn is a transhumanist).
- Show biosculpter cycle duration for both normal and transhumanist pawns in cycle button's tooltip.
- Some research now requires high tech bench: brain wiring, compact weaponry, neural supercharge, biosculpting, specialized limbs, poison synthesis.
- Buildings in non-player non-hostile maps can no longer be claimed while there are members of the owner faction active.
- Slaves are now worth 75% of colonists in terms of map wealth and population.
- Terminals in worshipful villages now take 3 seconds to hack.
- Changed slag steel chunk mass from 5 to 8 so it doesn't weight less than the steel you get by smelting it.
- Added a loading tip describing fixed wealth mode.
- Total tend quality info is now only displayed if the hediff disappears after a certain level of tend quality (since it's fairly useless otherwise).

Hello everyone! I'm happy to announce a new update for RimWorld and all expansions.

The biosculpters got a focused redesign. Colonists can now automatically do their own age reversal, and initiating a biosculpting cycle takes 1 step instead of 3. There's also less incentive to do weird things like deconstruct and reconstruct the biosculpter. Overall the micromanagement burden should be much lower, especially for large colonies.

We also reworked caravan formation to make it faster and more fluid. The archonexus restart sequence got some love so it's clearer and better-tuned. Finally, there's also a bunch of smaller improvements - see the change list below.

This update was tested as compatible with all savegames and mods.

Thanks to everyone who helped test on the Official dev Discord server, to Matt Ritchie for running the unstable build update cycle, Nick Barrash for the biosculpter rework, and all our other devs for their contributions, and everyone who gave such rich feedback on Discord and on the RimWorld subreddit.

As always, don't hesitate to review Ideology on its Steam page!

Enjoy!

- Transhumanism believers will now automatically take their yearly age reversal cycle if the new “Auto age reverse” toggle on biotuned biosculpter pods is enabled
- All cycles now take 5 nutrition, and nutrition must be loaded before a cycle is selected instead of after. Extra cycle ingredients (like glitterworld medicine) are collected and carried to the biosculpter by the pawn initiating the cycle.

- Biotuning now happens after a cycle is completed instead of when a pawn enters the pod.
- Biosculpters consume 50W of power if no cycle is running, and 200W if a cycle is running, instead of consuming full power all the time.
- Biosculpters now take longer to minify.

EDIT 3: The build is now live for everyone. Thanks to the mod authors of Doors Expanded for updating quickly!

Hey everyone! RimWorld update 1.3.3117 is now out. This one comes with a long list of new stuff and improvements. Full changelist is below.

Multi-ideo viability: One key thing I wanted to do with this update was make it more rewarding to have a colony with diverse beliefs. While it should certainly be possible to run your colony as an ideological monoculture, I always wanted it to be possible to claim the benefits of multiple belief systems at the cost of needing to take a wider diversity of needs into account. This would also make recruiting easier, since it wouldn't be necessary to convert everyone during the recruiting process.

We made several changes to achieve this goal.

Now, colonists can participate in rituals of other ideoligions, strengthen those rituals by their presence, and gain mood and other benefits from them. Bigoted colonists will get a negative thought from participating in other beliefs, but the benefit from the ritual can outweigh their inner conflict. Since rituals can have quite specific effects, it can be very useful to have a wide toolbox of rituals available.

Previously, colonists would be very unhappy if their beliefs were violated by others, and would hate everyone who acted against their beliefs. Now they don't mind as much if something they disagree with is happening elsewhere in the colony, and don't so intensely hate anyone who does something they wouldn't. They will still care as before about their own actions.

Previously, in order to celebrate a ritual, it needed to be obligated by having three believers in the colony. This is no longer the case - just one believer is now enough to initiate a ritual, while obligations to do the ritual still start at three believers.

I'll continue to monitor how this plays out and make adjustments as needed to maximize the number of viable play paths you can choose from.

Compatibility: This update should be compatible with all savegames and mods.

As always, don't hesitate to review Ideology on its Steam page!

[h2]Multi-ideo colony viability[/h2]

Hello RimWorld players! I've just released RimWorld version 1.3.3101. This one comes with a long list of new stuff and improvements for the base game and both expansions. Full changelog is below.

Fluid ideoligions: The big feature in this update is fluid ideoligions.

You can start the game in a new mode where you define a simple, minimal ideoligion to begin with. Then, during play, you'll earn development points by completing rituals and taking actions that satisfy your beliefs.

With enough development points, you can reform your ideoligion to alter memes, styles, precepts, and everything else. You'll be able to build up the complexity and intensity of your belief system as the game progresses.

The original system with stable ideoligions also remains available, if you want to play a specific belief system from the start.

Compatibility: This update should be compatible with all savegames and mods.

Thanks: Thanks to everyone who helped us test this update on the official development Discord server, and to modders (Oskar and pals) who updated their mods to keep compatibility!

Don't hesitate to review Ideology on its Steam page!

EDIT: Build quickly updated to 1.3.3102 to fix an issue with the biosculpter pods not working right.

Changelog below.

[h2]New stuff[/h2]

- Add new fluid ideo system. This allows you to start the game with a "fluid" ideoligion that has only one meme. Over time, you gain development points on that ideoligion by completing rituals and other ideoligion-related actions. With enough development points, you can reform the ideoligion to alter memes or precepts, change styles, change structure, and more.
- Add darklight braziers.
- Predators no longer hunt animals on the other side of fences. Predators can still randomly wander into animal pens.
- Add an alert to thell the player when a predator has wandered into a pen in use.
- The game now shows the source of each piece of content on its stats card, so you know which expansion/mod something came from. It also shows which expansion/mod each research project came from.
- Players can now choose a few items to bring to new archonexus settlement. This is especially helpful for things you really need like luciferium.
- Add grace period where expectation levels are not increased for pawns with certain ideology roles after starting new archonexus settlement.
- Add tongue body part. Tongue is removable via surgery, if you'd prefer someone not speak. The tongue won't be damaged in combat.
- Add bionic tongue that replaces tongue.
- Add allow slave corpse toggle to various storage areas and buildings so you can separate slave corpses from colonist corpses.
- Added new ancient junk - additional mech parts for more visual variation, more ancient cars, wheels, etc.
- Added copy/paste gizmos for biosculpter nutrition settings.
- Added toggleable texture compression and atlas texture compression in the options menu.

[h2]Improvements[/h2]

- Update royal title room requirement grace period to include the first 10 days after a new archonexus settlement.
- Draw lines when placing blueprints displaying what would affect Gauranlen trees' connection strength. Display the artificial buildings connection strength loss radius when the tree is selected.
- We now remove ship to stars tile from map after new archonexus settlement, confirm the player is okay with this.
- On ritual config window, draw a highlight over pawns that can be assigned to a role you're currently hovering over.
- Extractable trees are no longer auto-minifiable in caravan forming dialog.
- We now hide quests that are ended by starting a new archonexus settlement
- Re-enabled random social interactions for bestowing ceremony and fixed it breaking down when pawns start social fighting.
- Starting with an ideoligion that dislikes animal bonding now causes all starting animals to be unbonded.
- Tweaked the archonexus "choose items to take to new colony" dialog formatting.
- The mood bonus for relics in the same room as ritual can be now increased by installing up to 3 relics. Adjusted mood impacts.
- Ideoligion buildings are now only demanded for the player's faction ideoligion and secondary ideoligions that have 3 colonist members or more.
- Destroying rocks with weapons now triggers a bad thought for ideoligions where mining is disapproved.
- Change ritual quality check graphics to look less like togglable ones for better UI clarity.
- Don't show anima linking command on every nature focus capable pawn anymore, to reduce UI spam. You can still start it via float command or from anima tree directly.
- Pawns now recover from berserk trance on being downed.

- Update descriptions of individualist and collectivist memes.
- Wind turbine, skullspike and neural supercharger can now be walked through like most other buildings.
- Biosculpters now list what will be cured and what can possibly be cured in the tooltip for the healing cycle if the biosculpter is tuned to a pawn.
- We now avoid using sun blocker as a threat if any colonist or prisoner has an ideo with darkness/tunneler, since it's kind of meaningless to them.
- Add note about work to deconstruct to 'work to build' stat description.
- Adjust some thought descriptions so that they still make sense for blind people.
- Timbershrooms can now grow wild in caves.
- Minified things now inherit their inner thing's flammability.
- Removed culture restrictions when choosing ideoligion
- More informative float menu options for not being able to enter a biosculpter.
