Rimworld Dev Tracker

There are no plans to add achievements on PC. They were given to console versions because the consoles' stores required them - we couldn't sell RimWorld there without achievements or trophies.

Between mods, the ability to turn on dev mode / god mode at any time, and save file editing, achievements are completely pointless. You could probably 100% the game in half an hour, tops, if they were added.

Besides, RimWorld's meant to be an open-ended game that doesn't *force* you onto any path. You could play the same colony for generations, over a hundred years. You could do every ending in one run. You could make your fortune raising livestock or making art or farming organs or growing drugs.

If they were added, the game would have to be forced into mod-free inronman mode, completely disable dev mode, figure out a way to detect save editing, and so on. It would add restrictions and conditions and rules and nonsense.

Adding achievements would negate ... Read more

To be fair, the random encampments (raider outposts, farming / mining / hunting worksites, et cetera) were specifically added to give ideologies with the Raider meme something to target besides settlements. But it also counts for things like ancient complex looting, distress calls, and things like that.

Hey there! Would you mind disabling your mods and checking again? We're not able to reproduce this on our end, but it's definitely supposed to be symmetrical.

Butchering a venerated animal is a terrible idea. Your colonists will be miserable, much like butchering humans, and won't want any of its resources.

You do have a couple of options that won't drive your pawns mad:

-Build a sarcophagus (especially a high-quality one with precious resources, such as jade or gold), and set some meditation spots around it. Pawns will meditate at it, or admire the art.

- Keep him in your freezer (make sure to forbid it, and remove bears from your butchering bill, or place it in a sarcophagus in the freezer to keep it safe). Eventually get a resurrector serum to use on him and accept him into your home.

-Resurrect him with dev mode and pretend nothing bad happened

This will not happen.

DLCs, yes. Physical merch, yes. Microtransactions? Never.

There's plenty of mods for that. Heck, there's a built in devmode you can use to spawn literally anything, or change your pawns any way you want.

You don't need to pay for it. That's just plain silly.

Originally posted by Bosh: I have played over 6500 hours. Your 17.8 hours are utterly meaningless.

At one point, you also only had 17.8 hours. We all were new, we all had to start somewhere.

It's technically not played time, it's run time.

Leave the game open to go make dinner or coffee or run to the bathroom, click to run the game but forget about it in the background and go to bed hours later, have it paused in the background while you chat with a friend, spend ages sorting your mods or trying to roll that perfect pawn or find the right map seed - it all counts toward that timer.

Here's a breakdown of all vanilla activities and their type of recreation:

agreed

Deterioration:
If an item is outside, not under a roof, is in standing or running water, is being rained on, it will decay
That means its durability / hit points will gradually go down until the item vanishes
That's how corpses, apparel, weapons, et cetera left outside eventually disappear.
Most things have a decay rate, but some things do not - all minified buildings, metals such as steel and silver, all stone bricks. Items stored on shelves will not deteriorate, which lets them be safely stored outside, no matter the weather, terrain, or roofing status.

Rotting:
If a perishable item such as food is left unfrozen, it will slowly rot. You can see the timer when selecting it, it'll tell you that it'll spoil in X days. It doesn't matter where or how you store it, anything that can rot will rot if you don't freeze it. That's the only way to keep products fresh.
In general, perishable items are raw food (meat, vegetables, etc), meals, m... Read more

What is the Intellectual skill level versus the other skills?

From the wiki https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Skills :

Beyond skill level 10, XP points are continuously drained away. A skill level is lost only after falling to 0 XP points, and then losing a further 1000 points, preventing repeated level loss and gain right around a level threshold. Experience decay is strictly calculated based on the current skill level and is not directly affected by skill use; Instead, gained XP simply cancels out loss, and vice versa.

XP decays at an accelerated rate with higher skill levels. This means that all XP earned after 55,000 total XP (level 10) effectively has less value, especially for skills that a colonist does not use frequently, because it will disappear. In most cases, XP is gained by time spent...

In vanilla, hair color doesn't fade. Once it's dyed, it's dyed forever, until the player tells them to change it. This is definitely modded behavior. Your best bet would be to track down which mod is responsible, and either check the settings to see if it can be disabled, or ask the author.

thx in advance

Got you noted down!

Originally posted by bobi: I realize this is probably no longer relevant, but you can solve this problem as follows:

Each saved game has two resolutions: RWS and OLD. Delete the game file with RWS resolution and overwrite the file with OLD resolution with RWS and load the game. I did it while the game was running, it should work fine

Please do not necro posts.

Originally posted by Jet: i got the name in game dlc recently. says it was accepted. name is Douglas Muller

If your name was purchased fairly recently, it won't have had time to be added yet. The in-game names list is updated alongside regular game updates, so it might take a little bit. You'll be put in as soon as possible, though!

If you mean the dev discord, did you read the #about-the-server channel as you were instructed to do?

Originally posted by GrimReaper XXIII: Could we get steam achievements like on console?

I'm not a dev, but it's highly unlikely. Between mods, dev mode, and how easy it is to edit your save, it's practically pointless to add Steam achievements.

Those who haven't already, could you please tell me the exact name? Name 'Nickname' Lastname'

Those who have - I've passed your missing names on to the ones in charge of adding them, and we'll hopefully have you added as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that names are updated along side normal patches, so it won't be immediate, unfortunately.

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:

• Comment on the Subreddit post or send me a PM there
