Thanks I'll look at the pemmican situation.

We're working on the Steam registration system for Royalty, you'll be able to activate your DRM-free version on Steam in a few days when that's ready.

A report would be useful - I'm not sure what the bug is here.

1,2,3 - kind of the same factor comes into play, which is that we can't really just not allow accessing the info card since so many places depend on it and will link it going forward. And the description can't be empty or malformed in these cases.

For the grammar thing honestly I'd just write it differently rather than trying to come up with a special case grammar replacement. As in that's the kind of solution I go for with our designs.

I think it might be best if the hover text is separate from the info card description in any case, which alleviates these issues. Hover text can use grammar symbols.

Anyway I took some notes into the doc. Cheers.

By the way - sorry. There's a bug causing this occasionally, it didn't happen in testing. Will be addressed in a hotfix soon.

I'm actively seeking modder requests around these kinds of things. We've got a Google Doc where we're collating them (you'll need to request access) with some modders adding requests already[ edit removed after access given ]

So let's talk about it, nothing's set in stone. Especially if there are easy wins to deliver, I'm all for it.

Regarding the points specifically.

1. I'm not sure it could be optional, otherwise the info card would show nothing at all on the description. Players expect to see something here.
2. Putting descriptions in the tooltip makes sense if they're short enough, if they're longer it would be a problem. This is something I'd have to review. But probably I'd set an optional to override if it's defined. I don't want to overload the tooltip either though. Needs to be designed carefully.
3. Grammar symbols like this wouldn't work in the info card since it's often used without reference to any specific pawn (e.g. when you l...

The game by itself is designed to kickstart the royalty progression quite early with an intro quest.

The issue with depending on a scenario to do this is that now the other scenarios are quasi-broken. The solution had to be something that worked with any scenario. And once that's established, the value of a new scenario didn't seem that great. It's not a bad idea at all it just wasn't the best of everything we had to work on. I suspect most people would prefer to get more quests or more psycasts, etc.

Hey thanks :)

You should be able to re-download and get the latest version. I updated it 24 hours ago.

You can also buy Royalty DRM-free at https://rimworldgame.com/royalty

Thanks!

Yeah we got another report of this. It's a bit weird and we'll probably change something in the coming hotfix.

Fraid not.

Unless a mod directly builds on Royalty content there's no reason for it to require Royalty. I expect essentially all current mods and 95% of future mods to work with or without Royalty.

I made sure during the design process to reject ideas that would change the 'bases' of the game and thus create expansion/mod conflicts. So Royalty is a clean drop-in addition of content. No split community because that sucks.

Now, there is the issue of 'clawout' mods. Some things are part of Royalty and if a mod uses them the players would need the expansion too. Things like royal titles and mechanoid clusters. It may be technically possible to hack up a mod that hooks into the code for these to essentially claw content out of the expansion and into a mod. I hope modders don't do this and if they do we'll likely have to take the mod down. There are tons of ways to expand the game, so there's no reason to be pulling our content out like that. I hope modders can build on the syst...

Yeah, we redesigned them but the art is directly from Vanilla Animals. We hired Oskar (who made it) to make all the art for Royalty too.
