The release of RimWorld - Royalty has been a great success! Thanks to everyone who's bought it so far, the testers and translators, modders, streamers and video makers.

I thought it would be a good idea to write a bit about what to expect next. In the past I've rarely written about the future because release dates and game designs often change unexpectedly during development. I can't tell you how many times in the past I had a firm expectation of some development outcome that was totally wrong in the end. Not talking about the future avoided the risk that something would change and people would get angry because they perceive some promise to have been broken. Talking less also allowed me to focus on making the game great instead of spending time managing public expectations.

Now, though, I think it's time to give a bit more info of what to expect to to help people in the community make their own decisions and to help modders be ready for what's coming next.

Another day, another hotfix! This is build 1.1.2560.

Side note: There were some recent major changes in a few key mods, so there are still some mods with compatibility problems with each other. More info on this in ... Read more

EDIT 2: It appears there's a lot of incompatibility between mods at the moment. Mainly this derives from a recent change in how the Harmony mod worked, which was itself compelled by a change in Unity/.NET. This broke compatibility with many other mods. Here is a full article about Harmony from its author explaining what happened.

The recommended fix for now is:

1. Disable the Replace Stuff mod.
   
2. Place the mods HubsLib and Harmony directly after Core/Royalty in the mod load order.

That should address most issues, but a some mods may still need to be updated over the next days.

I'm talking to modders more so we can pass along info about this kind of thing more clearly in the future.

I originally reverte... Read more
