Rimworld Dev Tracker

You're right. I'll add some value to make sense a bit, but these aren't meant to be super valuable trade items (they appear for free after all).

Yes, these are getting buffed in the next patch.

I've been collecting more balance feedback and will be dialing in various things over time. (It's better not to rush these things, I've found.)

Are you guys sure this still works on the latest patch?

We'll look into this, thanks.

That muffalo has a lot of heart.

Sorry about that - we'll address this.

Thank you Kiwi Rampage.

Thanks for the feedback! Could I ask you a few more things?

I'm interested in tuning the wealth thresholds for quest arriving/completion.

1. Did it seem like the quest arrives early/late?
2. Did it feel like the final wealth requirement was too low/high? Did you feel like you were marking time to the end, or was play still interesting?
3. How much research did you finish before the end?

Thanks for all who played it and are willing to answer.

You're right. I am planning to have research go back to more or less something like a classic crashlanded start. Zero is a bit much.

This was addressed in today's build - should be solved now.

This is why we always call our expansion packs expansion packs!

It kind of annoys me that Steam forcibly labels them "DLC". This isn't a weapon skin.

Thanks!
I have always gone by the principle that the expansions shouldn't interfere with the core game in the slighest. Nothing should ever be visible but locked off, or unbalanced without expansion content, or even refer to expansion content.

We even use expansion-specific text patches to remove references to expansion mechanics in vanilla content. E.g. The description for the 'kind' trait is different with Ideology.

I'm going to review how expectations play out here.

It would be good if I could get a savegame just after archonexus restart to inspect the game state. It'd be great if you (or anyone else reading this) could join the official dev discord and post one!

I had to tweet this one.

I love this.

Anima tree went really bonsai-style!

We've love to hear about the new issue as well, especially if you can get it without mods! That Discord link should still work if you're willing.

It's worth noting that in the Crashlanded or Rich Explorer scenario, they already had all that high-tech stuff before the game started in their home planets or on the ship. They they got dropped off by a ship in a new place on this planet. Then they have the research everything. This is basically the same situations as the archonexus restart.

Not that it's exactly clear what 'research' means in this game physically anyway. It never made sense. Is it peoples' memory? That makes no sense because many of them have backstories about being scientists so they should already have the tech, plus you keep your tech if your researcher dies. Is it some kind of document or blueprint? That makes no sense because no such object exists in the world - you can migrate naked to a new map and still keep your research. In truth it's just an abstracted game mechanic, like so much else, and if you want you can pick it apart a hundred ways but there's no point because it's not harming peoples' pl...

In real life, jealousy and anger over unequal treatment among poly-wives is reportedly widespread [1].

In fact, your solution of swapping out the wives nightly is basically what these people do in real life: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/nov/21/religion.gender

That's not to say these outcomes are universal. Human behavior is extremely diverse. But, from my research, these seem to be common patterns pretty much globally.

So some amount of struggle here was anticipated and designed-in.

That said, perhaps we need...

We will look into this. Thank you for reporting.

Can anyone send us a savegame of this happening? We really need it to reproduce and fix the problem. Here is the easiest place: https://discord.gg/mdfgVN4W
