I made a comic about how messed up recruitment is when you have every DLC

Comment

This comic ties in so many narrative ideas from across all the expansions in such a compelling way. I love it; I love imagining this.

Great art too.

PINNED: Regarding missing Name-In-Game

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.

PINNED: Regarding missing Name-In-Game

Comment

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.

What do you think Neutroamine is meant to rempresent in lore?

As someone else said; mechanically it's a limiter to prevent you from making infinite drugs & medicine.

It was inspired by methylamine (I watched Breaking Bad). But mechanically I just wanted a resource that was only available via trade.

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

Comment

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?

Comment

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...
