I'm pretty sure dryads and stuff are to balance going the nature-lover route and making it competitive with industrialist society. The dryads from what I see help with things that can be difficult if you are one with nature (like producing wood so you don't have to cut down trees) so I think that these are supposed to be benefits to being anti-industry. Without them it would be shooting yourself to play as druidic nature-lovers because you would lose out on stuff that would be so much easier and faster if you were industrial

Awesome! But at the same time... kinda not? It feels like a very specific thing to build a colony around. Hopefully (and I think this is the case) there are other mechanics like the trees for different types of colonies.

If this is standalone and is THE way to get some gatherer drones for example, it's... kinda weird imo in the sense it might be basically mandatory in every colony.

As for savegames, saves from 1.2 (and before) will load on 1.3 (assuming no mods break anything). In addition, non-Ideology savegames will load with Ideology. (However, if you do this you won’t be able to customize or randomize your belief system on startup, since the game is already started.)

I want to keep playing my current save, but I'm not quite sure what's meant by belief systems. I'm super hyped and want to just play my new game. Will I still be able to enjoy aspects of the new DLC once it's released?

They seem independent of each other.

I'm wondering a bit, what's the advantage/disadvantages of using these trees? Do they limit nearby construction like the anima tree? They seem to sprout orange grass for the dryads to eat, so it that sense they take up a large amount of space, but why wouldn't I always want to have a few hauler trees?

This is just my opinion but problem is the auto-slaughter automation is counting early pregnancies. They are normally hidden from the player but the automation is protecting the early-pregnant animals. With female tame animals nearly always being pregnant in Rimworld, it makes it impossible for the automation to slaughter enough females to maintain a stable population.

It's not a bug, though! The code is behaving exactly as documented. (I guess I should've also added this to my initial post, but here it is: https://i.imgur.com/74CS9yz.png) The window literally tells you that it doesn't count non-adult or reproducing animals. My point is that the result of this design is that the automatic population control system is unhelpful and ineffective, but it seemed worth starting a discussion in case others had found otherwise.

Colonists with social roles will want a change of appearance to suit their position. They may ask for elegant capes, creepy visage masks, solemn hoods, painful torture crowns, or anything else to set themselves apart according to their traditions.

I hope you can set that yourself, I want armor on every single colonist. Or maybe you get alternative armor shapes like the samurai helmet.

I havent seen anybody mentioning it so far while it looks like a VERY big change. You can now disable whole factions (and threat from them) like insects, mechanoids and pirates. And also tune how many people factions you want on your map.

I didn't see anything explicitly stated, do you need to have Royalty before you can install Ideology, or are they completely seperate?

Unpopular opinion. I really liked the aesthetic of a bunch of my colonists literally dropping their dinners to charge to the defence of the colony and some poor, probably blind, peglegged, grandpa having to hobble around and clean up after everyone.

Did mortars really need a nerf? Those useless things are now quest reward only. Now will only miss by 7 tiles instead of 10 though!

Added visual wound and prosthetic overlays on pawns.

Does that mean they will show on the pawn? That sounds incredible.

Rooms are no longer considered barracks if all of the pawns living in the room are in the same “love cluster”, meaning they share a spouse or lover with another pawn in the bedroom.

I didn't know a pawn can have multiple lovers or is that new too?

The expansion is exciting, more colony customization is always good.

I just sold a buddy on Rimworld, was warming him up to Royalty, and then y'all gotta hit me with this, another content full DLC of love and amazing ideas to expand the game.

Tynan you're a devilish bastard, take my money already, such a great addition I can't wait to play with.
