Hello RimWorld players! I've just released RimWorld version 1.3.3101. This one comes with a long list of new stuff and improvements for the base game and both expansions. Full changelog is below.

Fluid ideoligions: The big feature in this update is fluid ideoligions.

You can start the game in a new mode where you define a simple, minimal ideoligion to begin with. Then, during play, you'll earn development points by completing rituals and taking actions that satisfy your beliefs.

With enough development points, you can reform your ideoligion to alter memes, styles, precepts, and everything else. You'll be able to build up the complexity and intensity of your belief system as the game progresses.

The original system with stable ideoligions also remains available, if you want to play a specific belief system from the start.

Compatibility: This update should be compatible with all savegames and mods.

Thanks: Thanks to everyone who helped us test this update on the official development Discord server, and to modders (Oskar and pals) who updated their mods to keep compatibility!

Don't hesitate to review Ideology on its Steam page!

EDIT: Build quickly updated to 1.3.3102 to fix an issue with the biosculpter pods not working right.

Changelog below.


- Add new fluid ideo system. This allows you to start the game with a "fluid" ideoligion that has only one meme. Over time, you gain development points on that ideoligion by completing rituals and other ideoligion-related actions. With enough development points, you can reform the ideoligion to alter memes or precepts, change styles, change structure, and more.
- Add darklight braziers.
- Predators no longer hunt animals on the other side of fences. Predators can still randomly wander into animal pens.
- Add an alert to thell the player when a predator has wandered into a pen in use.
- The game now shows the source of each piece of content on its stats card, so you know which expansion/mod something came from. It also shows which expansion/mod each research project came from.
- Players can now choose a few items to bring to new archonexus settlement. This is especially helpful for things you really need like luciferium.
- Add grace period where expectation levels are not increased for pawns with certain ideology roles after starting new archonexus settlement.
- Add tongue body part. Tongue is removable via surgery, if you'd prefer someone not speak. The tongue won't be damaged in combat.
- Add bionic tongue that replaces tongue.
- Add allow slave corpse toggle to various storage areas and buildings so you can separate slave corpses from colonist corpses.
- Added new ancient junk - additional mech parts for more visual variation, more ancient cars, wheels, etc.
- Added copy/paste gizmos for biosculpter nutrition settings.
- Added toggleable texture compression and atlas texture compression in the options menu.


- Update royal title room requirement grace period to include the first 10 days after a new archonexus settlement.
- Draw lines when placing blueprints displaying what would affect Gauranlen trees' connection strength. Display the artificial buildings connection strength loss radius when the tree is selected.
- We now remove ship to stars tile from map after new archonexus settlement, confirm the player is okay with this.
- On ritual config window, draw a highlight over pawns that can be assigned to a role you're currently hovering over.

- Minified things now inherit their inner thing's flammability.
- Removed culture restrictions when choosing ideoligion
- More informative float menu options for not being able to enter a biosculpter.

Hey everyone! I've just released version 1.3.3087 of RimWorld with a variety of improvements for the base game and both expansions. Full changelog is below.

The main visible feature in this update is tree replanting. You can extract a tree and move it around as an item. You can then replant it where you like. It'll die after 7 days if not replanted. Anyone can do this, but it should be especially useful for colonies who believe it's immoral to kill trees since now they can move trees out of the way of building sites.

This update should be compatible with all savegames and mods.

We're continuing to collect feedback and improve everything we can. I much appreciate everyone who has helped out!

Change list:

- Having 1 or 2 colonists of a player's original ideoligion boosts conversion chance for that ideoligion and reduces it for conversions against that ideoligion. This is configurable in difficulty settings. This makes it easier to expand an ideoligion starting from just one person.
- When a pawn is connected to multiple gauranlen trees, they prioritize pruning the tree with the biggest difference between desired connection strength and current.
- Tune slave rebellion chances a bit lower, and reduce the effects of some factors. Slave weapon noticing distance reduced from 10 to 6.9.
- Burka now covers neck and shoulders.
- Gauranlen pod sprouts can happen even when no tree connector pawns are present. They will occur roughly every 60 days. Roughly every 30 days for tree connectors. Gauranlen pod sprouts can occur on desert or extreme desert biomes, but not ice sheet or sea ice.
- Auto-slaughter config allows you to control bonded animal slaughter specifically.
- Gauranlen trees heal slowly over time.
- Suspend dryads currently in cocoons.
- You can no longer change the color of lodgers' apparel if they refuse to change their apparel at all.

- Added darker black hair color option. Moved hard-coded hair colors to ColorDefs.
- Use faster HasHead property instead of GetNotMissingParts().Any(x =>...)
- Fix: Women constantly using the styling station to get a beard that they are not allowed to have.
- Fix: Animals portraits blank on ritual setup dialog.
- Fix: Dryads prioritize rest over drafted follow.
- Fix: Potential NRE when ritual participants target a bed.
- Fix: Pawns can extract skulls from corpses that have lost their head since designation.
- Fix: Royal titles wanting personal bedrooms don't like love clusters. Bed room owners are now calculated by love cluster rather than pawn relationship pair.
- Fix: Missing reservation check.
- Fix: Potential error when ritual participants target a bed.
- Fix: Checking all beds instead of just humanlike ones for room owner.

--------------------------

Hey all, another quick update before the weekend.

I've just released version 1.3.3069b to everyone. This is the same as 1.3.3069 from earlier today, with the addition of a feature that lets you save and load ideoligions within the ideoligion customization screen.

If you have a complicated ideoligion you want to use from now on, you can save it during creation and load it in future games.

You should be able to get the update by restarting Steam. It'll be compatible with everything.

Look forward to more updates soon!

Hey all, just a quick update. This is yesterday's unstable test build with some fixes and stabiliztion.

Everything should be compatible.

Another bit of news - we have completed our first pass of the ideoligion save and load feature. EDIT: This feature is live on the 'unstable' Steam branch.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, and to our very diligent devs!

The release of Ideology and 1.3 have brought a massive surge of new players and new energy in the RimWorld community. It's awesome and slightly overwhelming. We've been hard at work translating feedback into fixes and improvements to try to make the best play experience possible, both in the short and long term.

To that end, there's currently a testing branch of the next update up on Steam's unstable beta branch. (Changelist below.)

We test these builds and take feedback directly on the official development Discord server. Anyone who is willing to help out should please join us there, try out the build and tell us what you find! Many thanks to all who have participated and all who join.

Thanks

Hi all,

The Ideology release has been great - thanks for all your feedback! We've been working hard to translate this torrent of feedback into a set of improvements for you as fast as possible. Today we've got an update with miscellaneous improvements and fixes. This patch improves the base game, Ideology, and Royalty.

EDIT: It should be compatible with all saves and mods. (A few mods were incompatible but have been updated - thanks to the authors CrashM, Void, and avil!)

Non-English languages have also been updated with the latest translations from the gracious volunteer translators (you can join them here).

Big thanks to everyone who helped test the unstable build on the official testing Discord. Love to have more people come help, so if you're willing please.. join us. The improvement process is ongoing.
