Hello, it’s Tia! I’m here to share a small update just before the holidays. ❄️️

Today’s update comes with a looong list of fixes. Loads of these were made with the help of our testers - a big ol’ hug and huge thank you for helping us squash those bugs! Now children are less likely to run headfirst into danger and bestowers will get the heck outta there if they’re breathing in poisonous gas. We also added a few tools to help out our modders and community translators do their thing. The changelog is below to read over.

If you want to keep playing on the previous version of 1.4, you can use the Steam beta branch "version-1.4.3563". To do this, r-click RimWorld in the Steam library, go to properties, open the betas tab, and select the version from the dropdown.

2022 was a wild and fantastic year for us at Ludeon Studios. We released RimWorld’s third expansion, ... Read more

Hey guys. We investigated this issue today and found that it seems to be caused by the mod HugsLib. The related error message is

Yep, we're looking at reworking the math on this; there are a few options from minimum values to switching to multipliers. Update with this will be out pretty soon.

I love most changes, aside from the obvious integration changes it focused on I'm also very fond of the changes to drug resistance/immunity and the QoL/misc stuff. However, the bandwidth changes to lancers and scorchers are unnecessary IMO.

A lancer with 3 bandwidth is almost as expensive as a centipede at 4, but cannot possibly compete with it. There is a reason the lancer has a raid value of 150 and the centipede a whooping 400. Scorchers I found to be surprisingly good, despite their complete inefficiency against mechanoids, and the change cuts their cost in half. Bandwidth in general can be kind of awkward to work with since even the smallest possible changes to it have huge impact in the 1-2 ranges, so it might be easier to buff/nerf the mechs themselves instead like with the militor. Maybe give the lancer lower quality charge lances or lower shooter accuracy, and increase the scorcher's fire rate? Just a thought.

Units with different resource/supply costs are pretty common in strategy games. For example, in SC2 the roach is known to have a lot of power compared to its resource cost, but also be quite expensive in supply. This affects its strategic niche. It adds a bit of depth to the economic decisions short- and long-term as opposed to making the resource cost always exactly proportional to the supply cost.

No, all saves are compatible back to 2018 at least (and in many cases before).

Congrats to @Bay12Games and @KitfoxGames for the Dwarf Fortress release!

Can't wait to dive in and strike the earth. Hoping for an entertaining tantrum spiral or similar.

One way Ludeon attracts capable game creators is by making a game that's really fing cool to work on.

Super interesting and open-ended game systems, very high ratio of creative output to dev effort.

There should be a way that a user of a web service can 'pay' for it by contributing CPU cycles and bandwidth.

It would be technically challenging, but this could be a way to run web services without relying on ad or subscription revenue.

Bittorrent is the prototype.
