There have been some folks who have noticed their name-in-game has gone missing lately. It turned out to be more extensive than we thought, and we're working on getting everyone re-added.

If you've noticed your name is missing, please contact me through any of these channels:

with 1200 hours i have realized that planned bases are often less efficient than a organic growing base

There's an interesting book called Seeing like a State that talks about this idea in the real world.

Scott Alexander had a good review of it: https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/03/16/book-review-seeing-like-a-state/

Always remember - RimWorld is a story generator, not a skill test.

I really hate this mentality from the devs.

It is not a story generator, it's just a game like any other. It's not both. Anyone how thinks this has story generation in it, doesn't know what a story is. A story is NOT a sequence of random events thrown at the characters.

It needs to have a main plot, a message it wants to convey, an encompassing theme, a narrative structure. It needs character personality arcs, it needs them to pass through adversity and come out at the end better people. It needs something you can try to imitate in your life, something that inspires you.

That's what stories are all about. RimWorld has precisely zero of all of that. The "story" is just randomness picked up from a premade list of actions, with no rime or reason.

The main character woke up in the morning, had his meal and was upset he didn't have a table. Then all of the sudden, am artillery shell killed him instantly. His friend was not too upset because he was happy ...

The game does indeed only generate events; it does not attempt to *tell* a story or derive meaning from it. The player is the one who interprets them and constructs the story. Player and game act together for the story to come into being.

Raids have stopped?

Thanks for reporting - we found an issue. Look forward to a hotfix very soon.

I think Cassandra is either being really nice, or is about to strike me dead.

Hey guys, we're investigating this, would you mind posting your mod lists? Including simple UI/QoL mods.

EDIT: Okay, thanks for reporting - we found an issue. Look forward to a hotfix very soon. Sorry about that.

New ambient horror setting and tribal Anomaly support

Post
    Tynan on Steam - Thread - Direct
Hi everyone!

We're here today with a new feature update to Anomaly. Today's update adds a new way to play with all Anomaly content threaded into the entire game, instead of being linked strictly to the monolith quest. This resembles more how other expansions all interact together continuously over the course of a long game. No need for Anomaly to take over an entire playthrough!

We’ve also added some new economic pathways to make it more feasible to progress through Anomaly content as a low-tech tribal colony.

Take a look:

Ambient horror mode Now, when you start the game, you can select from three ways to integrate Anomaly into your game:
  • Standard with monolith: The original Anomaly experience. Anomaly threats are linked directly to the monolith.
  • Ambient horror: In this new mode, the monolith does not appear. Instead, Anomaly threats are threaded into the rest of the game. All Anomaly threats...

Unpopular opinion: This games lacks sooo many QoL changes. And it should not be up to the modders.

I would love to update more often, but updates break mods and that angers people, so they have to be kept infrequent.

What's the point of security doors?

Comment

They increase containment strength thus reducing how often escapes happen.

And non-revenant entities still need to beat down the door.

Hello everyone!

Just a quick request: There's been an issue that's popped up in 1.5 that some people have noticed their 'name-in-game' has gone missing. If it's happened to you, please give your name so we can check on it. We're not exactly sure what happened, but we're working on fixing it as soon as possible!

You can leave it in a comment here or on the post in the Ludeon forums[ludeon.com], or PM me as Sneaks on Discord in either the Development s... Read more

Hi everyone - Ty here.

We’re loving your Anomaly stories! Please keep it up with the duplicated babies, shambler babies, and gray labyrinth baby drama. This expansion explores new ground creatively for RimWorld and it’s been incredibly gratifying to see people having new kinds of stories in the game.

Releases like this bring massive amounts of feedback, which is always incredibly valuable for us to understand how the game is playing and what people want. This time around, many players have said they’d like to be able to mix Anomaly content more into the rest of the game so it feels like less of a self-contained experience, and more like something that integrates into a normal playthrough.

Originally, we had Anomaly throw a ton of content at you guys because we wanted to be sure people would experience all the new stuff and see how much was really there. We may have pushed a bit too far there - Anomaly has tons of content and exposi... Read more
