I will treasure your reply as my heirloom. I love your game so much.

Have another one!

But hey seriously, I definitely appreciate the props. If you want to do me a micro-favor don't hesitate to drop a Steam review for Royalty. Almost nobody reviews DLCs so it looks lonely! Steam link

My current colony of 2 years with a wealth of 20.000 never saw one as a quest reward, is enemy with the empire, have done the rebel quest (more than one year ago) and is not tribal. I tried to generate roughly 500 quest with 10.000 points with the dev mode, and no psychic amplifier ever appeared

About 40 days. If you're not getting psylinks by any route at all, and you were on the latest 1.1 or 1.2, you should be pretty much guaranteed to see psylink neuroformer quest rewards. If you're not, it would be a bug - is that what you're seeing?

I have never seen a neuroformer reward outside of the initial one given in the introductory quest set (save royal pawn from manhunting animal).

Also, on my old play through of a 1.1 game In the unstable patch last week, all pawns who had an existing title did not receive a Bestower quest when ranking up. I waited for about two years for it to occur. Rank ups were achieved via questing rewards.

I was able to fix this by using Dev Mode to demote then re-promote them to their proper ranks. This did unfortunately result in one of my Countesses only receiving one permit points instead of the usual three. I have since not had issues with any colonists ranking up in the same save or in other saves.

Thanks. Yeah you wouldn't expect neuroformer rewards if you're getting psylinks through titles.
I'm gonna ask /u/pheanox to help us look into that other issue though. There may be a back-compatibility bug.

I never see them in a 3 years colony. Only quests with royal favor reward. (Running 1.1)

The quest will only state the favor as reward and if I accept it with pawns who has yet to reach a favor threshold, the neuroformer will be sent after finishing quest.

I don't think I ever see only item as a reward. No titles and anima tree.

Thanks. That sounds fine, if you were getting titles and thus neuroformers (in 1.1).

I didn't realize that DLC needs a separate review, though that makes obvious sense now that I think about it. Surely other games have similar problems.

I left an extremely positive review. Hopefully it makes a difference for your sales!

Much appreciated!

They should appear as quest rewards on a regular basis (about 40 days apart). Though this is hard to test and it's possible there's a problem with this.

Can anyone confirm not ever seeing them as a quest reward, while also not using anima tree and not getting titles?

Hello u/tynansylvester :)

isn't it amazing how awesome this community you have built with rimworld is ? Besides it's really fun to watch your changelog videos.

BTW you are right about the reviews. there should be more of it. Therefore I have just posted one. Without feedbacks/reviews developers have hard time to make the game better.

Yeah it's pretty wild. This sub has more people than /r/doom! I think something about RimWorld is just great for community building. Long play, creative mods, self-authored storytelling-oriented gameplay.

And thanks very much!

got about 10 join requests AFTER the group has left, meaning I was unable to accept them. It seems a little flawed.

40?? You must have an insane colony population, modded?

About mistimed join requests, we've be very interested to hear of any way to reproduce such an issue! Ping - tester /u/pheanox

Because otherwise i'm afraid that this quest will only bring me a new armchair, a hat and several new fresh organs to sell.

Yes, their random late reward value is really high. But it's not the most common thing to get. It would be more common to just get free labor and possibly recruits.

Thanks! I was really happy with how this quest in particular turned out. I think the open-endedness and randomness really nails what makes RimWorld work.

I'm hoping to push more in this open-ended direction with the quest designs. Quests have always been tricky to design since generated quests in a super-systemic game is something that's really original to RimWorld AFAIK. Without other games to reference we really needed to find, identify, understand, iterate on, and solve every problem from zero. It's a real process, but with a good source of feedback (all of you) I think we're learning more and more about what works and how to build it.

Also hey, if anyone wants to write a Steam review for Royalty that'd be great (with whatever your opinion is). It sells well but the percentage of people who reviewed it was WAY lower than the base game. If not no problem of course, it just seems people don't tend to think of this! ...

No, the automatic setup is just a default to make the most common case easier. If you have special needs you can set it up however you like pretty much the same as before.
