Rimworld Dev Tracker

Hey guys. We investigated this issue today and found that it seems to be caused by the mod HugsLib. The related error message is

Exception filling window for RimWorld.Dialog_Options: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Hi, thanks for buying from us.

Are you running on Steam or are you running the DRM-free download? If you're comfortable with it, it would be best to register all your products on Steam via rimworldgame.com/getmygame - then, just install and play on Steam as usual.

Sometimes Steam breaks files and fails to fix them even on verify. In these cases you need to go into the actual file explorer and delete all the game files and files for all expansions to force it to re-download everything.

Yep, we're looking at reworking the math on this; there are a few options from minimum values to switching to multipliers. Update with this will be out pretty soon.

Units with different resource/supply costs are pretty common in strategy games. For example, in SC2 the roach is known to have a lot of power compared to its resource cost, but also be quite expensive in supply. This affects its strategic niche. It adds a bit of depth to the economic decisions short- and long-term as opposed to making the resource cost always exactly proportional to the supply cost.

No, all saves are compatible back to 2018 at least (and in many cases before).

You should be glad it's me and not someone else - I really suck at shooting!

It goes together with the preferred xenotypes precepts as well.

You're very welcome!

We watch discussions quite often actually; it's an amazingly valuable source of feedback. Especially when people write out cogent thoughts and ideas. I appreciate that the RimWorld community doesn't have a negative complaining vibe to it; it's very forward-looking and thoughtful.

We will look into this. Could just be a little design hole/bug.

It would make a ton of sense - will put this in our design queue for consideration.

This would make perfect sense - will consider for this or a future update. Thanks for the feedback!

We want there to be progression through the tech tree, which means not just having every worker mechanoid available from the start. This is going to remain the same.

There are definitely econ development paths that don't require your mechanitor to spend all his time cutting stone chunks or deep-drilling plasteel. It's a kind of weird extra-challenge playthrough and requires some adaptation - doing the same development path as a normal colony would be slow for sure. So come at it another way. Build less walls, or use something besides stone blocks (which are inherently very slow) in the early game, or trade more, etc etc. Use less plasteel and focus on other resources, buy more of it, etc. Push faster to higher tech. There are tons of options.

They won't appear as raiders, just random miscellaneous people in other situations.

You're very welcome and we appreciate the props. We're trying and it's good to have that be noticed :)

Originally we were worried about people accusing us of "locking content behind other expansions" or somesuch. But there are consistent calls across the community for more ideology/Biotech crossover, and it makes perfect sense design-wise, so we've been pushing on this internally (in addition to all the general improvements in ongoing updates).

Hopefully it'll be on the unstable Steam branch next week for public testing and full release soon after.

We're planning to address this.

It's like those M:TG cards that just kill your own creatures or damage yourself or whatever, but you can use them in weird combos to trigger useful effects. Always loved that concept.

There's an issue where furskin-specific beards can be manually assigned to non-furskin (i.e. non-yttakin). This may be that. It's getting fixed.

Thank you for playing and participating in the community - much appreciated!

I'm not sure there's much in the game that contradicts what you're saying.

RimWorld neanderthals can hunt, craft, use fire, and have complex spoken interactions. They can carry out rituals, bury the dead, hold and spread complex beliefs. They can form complex relationships with each other and with humans, who they can also interbreed with.

You talk about real neanderthals sewing, burying the dead ritualistically, doing art. RimWorld neanderthals do all this (in addition to building geothermal generators and interstellar spacecraft, FWIW).

None of this contradicts them being less intelligent than baseliners. There is a very broad spectrum of intelligence between a modern human and the cartoon notion of a proto-human who can only grunt (barely verbal) and swing a club.

If you IQ tested a population of neanderthals where would they score on average? Nobody really knows of course, but I don't think it would be 50, nor would it be 100. It'd be somewhere b...
