These update amaze me every single time. just then I thought this game couldn't get any better, Boom! here come the new update. GOD I cannot describe how much I love this game.
+Eko02 The point limit still lets you make OP colonists and it doesn't prevent you from taking OP traits and it doesn't prevent you from getting free points by giving your colonists food posioning
I don't know if you read the comment section, but if you happen across this, do you guys ever plan on making the factions less static? Maybe allow the rimworld's politics to evolve over time, with factions trading, declaring war with one another, and possibly settlements being constructed/destroyed dynamically?
@tynan slyvester I just want to say thank you for not being one of the developers that gets pressured into releasing content for contents sake because everyone is asking for it and such. I think consumers have largely been spoiled with constant gratification - I love your game, I feel it's everything I've ever wanted in a game; solid mix of RPG, Strategy, Basebuilding, and Management. I really appreciate all your hard work you've been putting into this, and I hope you continue forward knowing how many people absolutely love your gave and respect you, and are inspired to go make games themselves. Only thing I could ask for is an expanded political system. Having the law versus chaos scenario that is going on through every scene and expand upon that - adding relatively small things like territories/influenced areas sorta like Stellaris' border system would make late-game a lot more interesting as we've have to work to defend the borders of our growing colony. I believe there was mention before about the game not being designed to have a high population, or too many colonies though I'm not entirely sure what the issue is with that; perhaps it's just running all those things at once - perhaps work on optimizing to allow larger populations and such? That's just my 2cents, but keep doing you.
Thanks very much :) The issue with a "political system" is that it would represent a drift in focus away from what the game is about: The individual struggles of your individual colonists. There's always a ton of pressure to make everything bigger in this game, until it eventually becomes a sci-fi version of Civilization. But that's not the design direction I chose; I'm committed to keeping the game focused on individuals, which means necessarily limiting the focus. That's the main argument against.
Tynan Sylvester thank you so much for such a stellar game I've been following it since alpha 3, I've always had the idea that there should be more reason to have to arrest a colonist maybe let it be tied to agressive mental breaks and instead of having to convince them to return to the colony they'll have a sentence period from around 3 days to a season if you choose not to have them arrested the victim colonist would have a negative mood modifier for a while or until they are arrested this could also be in affect for social fights maybe categorize them as social prisoners to separate them from other prisoners it should add a bit to the story telling after an internal conflict
Any chance you can re-balance floor beauty? Currently Smooth stone is better than every other floor in the game except gold, and smooth stone doesn't even cost resources.
Tynan Sylvester well, while I can always dream and hope - and I am sure Mods may some how provide such desires; I respect your decision and direction. Best of luck, keep doing a good job.
Tynan Sylvester P.S. Omg, Sylvester replied to my comment. P.S.S. Any hints or ideas on where your next update will focus or will it be a little like this; sorta improving a lot overall?
Hey Tynan - you know what would be really cool is more fleshed-out factions - maybe have some factions trying to take over the world and actually capturing territory of others - and when one faction gets too strong maybe they split into two factions civil war.. also maybe as you're playing you'd get a message like "An enormous army of _____ faction is heading your way and will be there in a few days time!".. and then when they arrive they may demand tribute from your inventory (or colonists as slaves) and if you refuse you fight.. among the factions maybe they could have different sized settlements, ranging from small villages to sprawling cities.. and they oscillate overtime based on local events.. the possibilities of things you could do with factions are endless and could really make the world more fun to explore... maybe also ruins would be cool to explore.. even introducing a hierarchy of leadership within your own colony (maybe newer colonists have a more favorable rating of original/older colonists, etc).. just some thoughts.. thanks so much for creating such a fascinating game!!! Also having a hermit hut somewhere in the world where Tynan lives would be cool!! And you could trade with him lol!!
Thanks for the Inspiration systems, really takes away from the powergaming. Until now I just kept the pawns over the mental breaks limit, I had not motivation for actually making them happy. I hope it gets expanded, either by you or the modding community!
Best 30 bucks I've ever spent. Each update has been so massive that it's almost like a brand new game with new or updated things that are actually significant. Definitely brand new game as it kills all my mods lmao
Awesome video, thanks for all your work and for giving us so much info! BUT I have to tell you, the mic audio randomly spikes to ridiculously loud levels through the video and it's very jarring.
Keep up the great work! I love this game it's been my main jam-strategy game that i go to. 13 constructive things (instead of destructive comments) I would like to see in the future in rimworld. 1) Different layers of earth, or just being able to mine down. 2) Hands/Legs It would be nice to see peg legs and missing parts. 3) A skeleton or some other way to visualize where on the body damage is in the health menu. 4) Different turrets (a modular turret maybe one you can put items/weapons you own on) 5) Different animals! Giant spiders are no joke. (FTL pun) Giant trap door spiders maybe!!! Ant colonies? BEES! 6) More ways to get foods. Fishing! Ice fishing! Whale fishing! Bee hives! 7) A way to sometimes see enemy's attacking or trade caravans approaching from the world map. Maybe by using a super weapon such as a ancient satellite for intell. 8) COFFEE!! chocolate/sugar Or other things to grow (if in the right biome) 9) Different mechanoids! Melee attackers, fast attackers, one's you can re-purpose into cleaning bots. (maybe they would need recharging) 10) Advanced medical treatments/surgery's. Replacing/reinforcing fingers, toes, ribs, spines skulls? 11) More traps/tripwires/spike traps/caltrops/ ways to slow enemy advancement. 12) Boots, Gloves, eye patches And other clothing. 13) End game aircraft? They can build a spaceship, why not a blimp? Thanks so much for taking a gander at this useless list and nodding your head once with satisfaction. Also feel free to hire me for 75k silver a year :P
Hi, just want to say thank you to you and your team for making and working on this game. It's one of my favorites! Can't wait to play the new build. Wish you all the best and again THANK YOU! =)
Tynan, you have come a long, long way from the start of RimWorld, and the the support, you give, and receive from the players never ceases to amaze me! Well done, sir, and well played! May all your endeavours, be successes!
Tynan, again, I love you sir! Thank you so much. I've been wondering what else could be added to the game to make it more fun. You pleasantly surprise me everytime. I love this game so much, I've had so many hours of fun out of it and I'm very happy to see that, due to your hard work, I will continue to have many more hours of fun out of it. Thank you so very much, I can't say it enough how much I appreciate what you do. Please, please, keep up the good work and I, for one, will support you how ever I can.
Tynan, I have been watching and playing since well before the Steam release... I can't even remember which alpha it was and I have sooo many hours in the game. Thank you. Thank you.
I remember playing the pre-release version of this (ua-cam.com/video/uD8H1XQ8hCk/v-deo.html) and it is honestly insane to have followed this through development to now. It's an amazing game and one I have pretty much consistently played over the past 4 years.
Tynan, I just want to express that not only is Rimworld one of the greatest games that I have played, but your video making skills are fantastic as well. Everything is explained in a well structured, concise manner, and you present every feature perfectly with the gameplay. Really appreciate the amount of effort you put into your videos and this amazing game :)
Fricking awesome dude, you've made an absolutely stellar game and I can't wait for even more updates! ( I know this will be almost impossible, but adding a multiplayer mode would be insanely cool! )
Hi Tynan, congrats to you and the team on this Beta stage. I don't know of any other game that has kept me hooked for so long- even Prison Architect, which is a great game, just can't compete with this for immersion. Really looking forward to playing B18 :)
Thank you for everything! First of all I'll thank you for the game in general, just amazing, one of my favorite games. Second is thank you for the hard work and taking such good care of your game and of the community under it!
omg THANK YOU so much for adding the task queue! I hated telling a colonist to pick this up, wait for them to drop it off then tell them to pick up the next one. Minor convenience that took you all a lot of work... but it is very very very appreciated! TY!
Hey Tynan, First of all what an amazing game you've made, really enjoyable. I know it would not be the first time a guy on internet is making suggestions but I think I have some ideas that might improve your already awesome game so here it goes. What do you think about adding a drinking need to pawns? As in water. It would make a lot of sense and make living in different biomes work differently, finding water in a desert (digging wells for example) would be totally different than finding a source in a temperate forest (a stream or whatnot) or even arctic (where you can gather snow and melt it) I know this is something complex but if you can add this it would be amazing. My other suggestion would be a waste mechanism, as in human waste. If you have a bunch of people and animals living together poop will become a major problem if not tackled properly. I imagine a similar system to the filth system, where people and animals would produce "poop" on regular basis which if not handled would provide negative mood and cause some diseases. Waste can be stored in a building of sorts and turned into fertilizer for the farms or maybe even just burned. Again this system would add a lot to your game. I know about going Beta and all that but if there was a tiny little bit of chance that you might see this comment and consider this and I didn't even try I wouldn't forgive myself! :D Anyways keep up the good work buddy, and thanks for all the fun :)
Very good point about the poop... managing this biological waste seems like it would be necessary as you say with humans and a bunch of tamed beasts. Where's the waste? Can we turn it to fertilizer over time to increase crop output possibly?
Aratas Man There's a mod for the human waste idea. You should give it a try, it's called 'Dubs Bad Hygiene'. If you're not into mods then no problem :)
Interesting idea for the human/animal waste idea, colonists will (if no toilets or the equivalent is available), exit the 'home' area before they defecate. Animals however will not, they will defecate in their zone. Except animals with advanced intelligence like dogs can be trained to also exit the home area or use animal waste disposal items, like litter boxes.
Aratas Man One of my FAVORITE mods is the one that adds a waste feature to the game. I highly recommmend it, it's called 'Dubs Hygiene & Central Heating'. It doesn't add drinking, but it adds a need system for pawns (not animals I think), but it's probably my favorite mod because it adds so much more complexity. The fertilizer is more tricky, in my opinion, because once you have a fertile ground (like if you're using one of the complex terraforming mods), it stays forever and you don't need to refertilize it. If the fertile ground somehow degraded over time, then I would want a fertilizer type mod like you suggested so you could keep the ground active. Until (or if) degrading soil is implemented, I just sort of consider it as already happening and balanced with the constantly fertile soil, if that makes sense. If soil doesn't degrade, then you're producing a fertilizer without a cost somewhere, and so basically you're providing fertilizer from nothing, which I don't like. That's just my opinion. It's always funny to see why one of your pawns had a mental break, because he was working too far away and had an 'accident', or you drafted him for too long in battle and peed himself! This mod also allows for bathrooms and radiant heating, which is a pleasant aesthetic addition to a colony in cold biomes instead of a ton of heaters everywhere. It uses the 'stuff' system so you can make them out of any color you want, and gives a you a reason to use some of that fancy stuff to make jade bathtubs and gold toilets and whatnot :) The terraforming mod i recommend is called "rainbeau's fertile fields". You need a LOT of work to turn things into fertile ground, but it allows for almost any type of terraforming, from rough rock to fertile field back to deep water if you want. It takes a lot of work and resources, and I feel like it's pretty balanced, because if you want dirt, you have to dig it up from somewhere else on the map. Other terraforming mods are too cheaty for my taste.
every time...every time i coming back to rimworld and start a new colony and everything went well, It's updated.... not complaining, thank you for your hard work!
Hi Tynan, congrats on moving from alpha. I've been around since the Alpha 1, remember when things were really simple and I loved Rimworld back then too. You're doing great work, keep creating cool games for us.
from all the early access games I've bought over the years this is one of the only ones to actually start turning into a full product. the amount of times i wasted my money on games that jump out of alpha&beta in 2 months missing almost all of the essentials. Great job devs, thank you for a consistent flow of updates!
No, the combat log is basically the most creative any random narrative generation can get, and is not exclusive to anything, especially dwarf fortress. Just like how rimworld's guns are basically the same as call of duty.
wow. triggered much? I never said that its exclusive to dwarf fortress, I was just pointing out that this is almost exactly the same. Like, even the wording is the same such as body parts "exploding into gore" which is a well know saying among the DF community. Note how I also didn't say that it was a bad thing, and even said that it has more flavour in its combat log, like how to people fighting look at eat other, than dwarf fortress does.
now when i see any game with a combat log im going to get on my hands and knees and pray to the dwarf fortress gods and thank them for a combat log which has been in games many times and isn't exclusive like you think it is and you are just as bad as dark souls fans saying a game is challenging so it must be like dark souls
wow, a lot of people are super triggered by this simple fact. Yes, the combat log isn't exclusive to dwarf fortress, however this combat log in particular from the type of game its in to how the log is written, is almost completely identical, That was the whole point I was making. I said that the combat log is basically the same as dwarf fortress. You argue that combat logs aren't exclusive to dwarf fortress. I at no point ever said that they were. Stop arguing against something I never said.
Tynan love you're game and I love that you are a creator who plays with community mods and listens to the community while still going with you're original plan you're not like the others who throw there idea away and do what makes everyone happy or someone who won't change the original plan no matter how annoying something else is and you also care about the modders
content is looking really good! all we need now are some reasons to maintain a permanent colony :D maybe some more renewable resource structures to reflect that?
Strange, that officially it wasn't even in beta, yet. It was already a full game when it got released imho. Never experienced any bugs but instead lots of great stories and drama in my multiple groups of survivors. It just keeps getting bigger and better. There are "stable" and "final" games on the market that offer you less and keep crashing. Great work, Tynan!
Iv had this game sense the very first alpha i used to get my game monthly through gmail till you got it on steam been a great game keep up the great work
One of my favorite games before my pc was stolen and I miss this game very much, wish I could play but best of luck in moving forward with the game and looking forward to the day I may be able to play again
AWESOME updates. But there will be a tutorial to remind and teach us how to use or get those new things? it would be awesome too. Thanks for everything! You guys rock!
Queued actions Hallelujah! Also the caves look super cool. Will they be entirely visible like in above or fow'd until explored? Man I already loved Rimworld so much and with every new patch so much more cool stuff gets added. Thanks Tynan :-)
Great work! I never went out to do dangerous quests for just a megascreen television but now i want this ancient tech! :D Thanks Tynan, i will lose a lot of good colonists on new adventures, their blood is on your hands. ;D
Thank you, Tynan, for updating your awesome game! Umm... not to complain, but the audio for your voice tends to get softer then louder then softer (repeat, ad nauseaum). Might be a bad microphone.
Awesome! Great work Tynan! Wouldn't it technically be Beta 1.0 ? (I have no idea what I'm saying, don't crucify me internet!) Anyway: This was worth the wait. Looking forward to spend many hours on this one.
I dread updates due to my massive collection of mods. But at the same time im always excited to see whats new. Hopefully all my mods get updated to b18 soon, and hopefully i can still use my old saves though xD Danke papa Tynan, im gonna set some tribals on fire with the power beam in your honor
I'm still waiting for the map edge expansion and a turret upgrade and/or type expansion. Oh and, how about a total war-esque diplomacy system that makes conquered cities or factions pay tribute/send reinforcements in attacks. This would entail the introduction of sworn enemies or allies. This would provide further incentive for the player to get outside their spawn point, or build colonies - if the base count may increase. For quality of life, I think hand me that brick, or while you're up mods should be implemented into vanilla logistics to some extent. Boy, I'm asking for too much
Add multiplayer with just multiple clients and do not have mode, just give the host ACL control over everything. So the host could share control completely, only allow the guest to control in a certain area, or only able to build with a certain type of material. Think ss13 / mush assignments for guests. It’s a pipe dream I know
Oh my god, those orbital weapons. I never knew I wanted something this bad until I actually got it.
These update amaze me every single time. just then I thought this game couldn't get any better, Boom! here come the new update. GOD I cannot describe how much I love this game.
Chaining tasks for colonists?!?!?! Holy crap, forget orbital lasers, that's awesome!
Annnnnndddddd there goes my mods
Prepare Carefully is the only mod you need...
that's not true, i stopped using that because it makes the game too easy.
Also not true. It makes the game exactly as easy or hard as you want it.
Well you can use the points limits.. Before i got the mod i just smashed the randomize button till i got a colonist i wanted..
+Eko02 The point limit still lets you make OP colonists and it doesn't prevent you from taking OP traits and it doesn't prevent you from getting free points by giving your colonists food posioning
I don't know if you read the comment section, but if you happen across this, do you guys ever plan on making the factions less static? Maybe allow the rimworld's politics to evolve over time, with factions trading, declaring war with one another, and possibly settlements being constructed/destroyed dynamically?

Ohhh shiiiiiit!!!
I was just thinking about this game the other day
"Man I wish there would be an update for rimworld soon"
zerakren This update has been available for two weeks now I think, not officially but in an unstable state ;)
Damn, and you could've have wished "Man, I wish this random dude on the internet get one billion dollars"
Hey Tynan - you know what would be really cool is more fleshed-out factions - maybe have some factions trying to take over the world and actually capturing territory of others - and when one faction gets too strong maybe they split into two factions civil war.. also maybe as you're playing you'd get a message like "An enormous army of _____ faction is heading your way and will be there in a few days time!".. and then when they arrive they may demand tribute from your inventory (or colonists as slaves) and if you refuse you fight.. among the factions maybe they could have different sized settlements, ranging from small villages to sprawling cities.. and they oscillate overtime based on local events.. the possibilities of things you could do with factions are endless and could really make the world more fun to explore... maybe also ruins would be cool to explore.. even introducing a hierarchy of leadership within your own colony (maybe newer colonists have a more favorable rating of original/older colonists, etc).. just some thoughts.. thanks so much for creating such a fascinating game!!!

Awesome video, thanks for all your work and for giving us so much info!
BUT I have to tell you, the mic audio randomly spikes to ridiculously loud levels through the video and it's very jarring.
Keep up the great work! I love this game it's been my main jam-strategy game that i go to.
13 constructive things (instead of destructive comments) I would like to see in the future in rimworld.
1) Different layers of earth, or just being able to mine down.
2) Hands/Legs It would be nice to see peg legs and missing parts.
3) A skeleton or some other way to visualize where on the body damage is in the health menu.
4) Different turrets (a modular turret maybe one you can put items/weapons you own on)
5) Different animals! Giant spiders are no joke. (FTL pun) Giant trap door spiders maybe!!! Ant colonies? BEES!
6) More ways to get foods. Fishing! Ice fishing! Whale fishing! Bee hives!
7) A way to sometimes see enemy's attacking or trade caravans approaching from the world map. Maybe by using a super weapon such as a ancient satellite for intell.
8) COFFEE!! chocolate/sugar Or other things to grow (if in the right biome)
9) Different mechanoids! Melee attackers, fast attackers, one's you can re-purpose into cleaning bots. (maybe they would need recharging)
10) Advanced medical treatments/surgery's. Replacing/reinforcing fingers, toes, ribs, spines skulls?
11) More traps/tripwires/spike traps/caltrops/ ways to slow enemy advancement.
12) Boots, Gloves, eye patches And other clothing.
13) End game aircraft? They can build a spaceship, why not a blimp?
Thanks so much for taking a gander at this useless list and nodding your head once with satisfaction.
Also feel free to hire me for 75k silver a year :P
Br0ManDudeGuy 75k a year. I'm in the wrong job, 2 silver an hour.
Br0ManDudeGuy there are workshop mods that do some of these if you aren't aware
Totally aware.
13) is basically what Factorio is developing into xD
they could work with some mod programmers together to implenent already existing features and develop new ones.
Hi, just want to say thank you to you and your team for making and working on this game. It's one of my favorites! Can't wait to play the new build.
Wish you all the best and again THANK YOU! =)
Great Job as always Tynan, you never fail to amaze me with your updates
Tynan this is magnificent. Everything you've done with Rimworld has made coming home from work 1000x better. Thank you
I think we all know the best feature of this new update - the mod auto-loading whenever you're loading a save that has a different mod list.
Just Thomas Yo man thats awesome.
the amount of perfected updates you pump out onto this amazing game is sick, keep up the great support for this game
Tynan, you have come a long, long way from the start of RimWorld, and the the support, you give, and receive from the players never ceases to amaze me!
Well done, sir, and well played! May all your endeavours, be successes!
You're a beast Tynan! One great update after another. Props to you and your team on this masterpiece of a game.
nothing better then seeing a new RimWOrld Update video in your feed! so hyped!!
tynan i am always amazed by every new update. thank you
Tynan, again, I love you sir! Thank you so much. I've been wondering what else could be added to the game to make it more fun. You pleasantly surprise me everytime. I love this game so much, I've had so many hours of fun out of it and I'm very happy to see that, due to your hard work, I will continue to have many more hours of fun out of it.

Wow! Awesome update!! Thank you for the hard work! Can't wait to get back into this game when the update hits!
Tynan, I have been watching and playing since well before the Steam release... I can't even remember which alpha it was and I have sooo many hours in the game. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much for releasing queues. I realize it was a pain to do but from a gameplay point of view this helps so so so sooo much.
You rock, thanks so much for all that you do. I've had a blast in Rimworld and I can't wait to try out all of the new features!
I remember playing the pre-release version of this (ua-cam.com/video/uD8H1XQ8hCk/v-deo.html) and it is honestly insane to have followed this through development to now. It's an amazing game and one I have pretty much consistently played over the past 4 years.

Almost at 1k hours... I love this game so much.
I was sitting at 500 hours, I'm about to join you at 1k! :)
I'm over 1100 hours, it's my most played game on steam
1730 steam hours plus probably another 1000 from pre-steam rimworld and my different files for old versions (which steam doesn't track)
Yeah, that doesnt even count the non steam version I played
500ish hours, its the most time ive put in a singleplayer game
Thank you for everything! First of all I'll thank you for the game in general, just amazing, one of my favorite games. Second is thank you for the hard work and taking such good care of your game and of the community under it!
Hi Tynan, Just wanted to say your game has captured me! Really like what there is of the lore as well! Masterpiece!
These are some of the greatest Mental Breaks ever made. XD I'm in love with this update haha. Well done, Tynan!
It’s my favorate game. Thanks tynan :D you are genius.
omg THANK YOU so much for adding the task queue! I hated telling a colonist to pick this up, wait for them to drop it off then tell them to pick up the next one. Minor convenience that took you all a lot of work... but it is very very very appreciated! TY!
Wow Ty thanks to you and your team for working so hard and never giving up we appreciate you guys so much. Lots of love from the consumer

Aratas Man There's a mod for the human waste idea. You should give it a try, it's called 'Dubs Bad Hygiene'. If you're not into mods then no problem :)
Hey dude, thanks I didn't know about that mod, it's pretty much what I had in mind.
Interesting idea for the human/animal waste idea, colonists will (if no toilets or the equivalent is available), exit the 'home' area before they defecate. Animals however will not, they will defecate in their zone. Except animals with advanced intelligence like dogs can be trained to also exit the home area or use animal waste disposal items, like litter boxes.
Aratas Man One of my FAVORITE mods is the one that adds a waste feature to the game. I highly recommmend it, it's called 'Dubs Hygiene & Central Heating'. It doesn't add drinking, but it adds a need system for pawns (not animals I think), but it's probably my favorite mod because it adds so much more complexity.
The fertilizer is more tricky, in my opinion, because once you have a fertile ground (like if you're using one of the complex terraforming mods), it stays forever and you don't need to refertilize it. If the fertile ground somehow degraded over time, then I would want a fertilizer type mod like you suggested so you could keep the ground active. Until (or if) degrading soil is implemented, I just sort of consider it as already happening and balanced with the constantly fertile soil, if that makes sense. If soil doesn't degrade, then you're producing a fertilizer without a cost somewhere, and so basically you're providing fertilizer from nothing, which I don't like. That's just my opinion. It's always funny to see why one of your pawns had a mental break, because he was working too far away and had an 'accident', or you drafted him for too long in battle and peed himself!
This mod also allows for bathrooms and radiant heating, which is a pleasant aesthetic addition to a colony in cold biomes instead of a ton of heaters everywhere. It uses the 'stuff' system so you can make them out of any color you want, and gives a you a reason to use some of that fancy stuff to make jade bathtubs and gold toilets and whatnot :)
The terraforming mod i recommend is called "rainbeau's fertile fields". You need a LOT of work to turn things into fertile ground, but it allows for almost any type of terraforming, from rough rock to fertile field back to deep water if you want. It takes a lot of work and resources, and I feel like it's pretty balanced, because if you want dirt, you have to dig it up from somewhere else on the map. Other terraforming mods are too cheaty for my taste.
Remember when nutrient paste dispensers where the only non-raw food source? I member. Came such a long way since...
Great work Tynan! Great work.
DUDE, finally found your youtube.
You're a G and I am proud to have bought your game.
Congratulations, cant wait to see how great full release will be
I love how his mic just turns up in volume. It sounds like he's really focusing on what he's saying even if it's an accident.
every time...every time i coming back to rimworld and start a new colony and everything went well, It's updated....
not complaining, thank you for your hard work!
Rimworld just gets better and better I was 2 months late keep doing this I will always be supporting you
Whoa. That tornado looks incredible.
Thank you so much Tynan! You are the best!
Ahhhhh, on a Friday too! Thank you Lord Tynan!
Hooray for queued commands!
Once again you have outdone yourself! Love it!
wow! Updates like these keeps the game alive. Love it!
Thanks for the blight thing, that use to really bother me and queued tasks are amazing. Good update :)
Keep up the great work Tynan! Love this game so much! :D
GG Tynan and your work team, you rock !
Hi Tynan, congrats on moving from alpha. I've been around since the Alpha 1, remember when things were really simple and I loved Rimworld back then too. You're doing great work, keep creating cool games for us.
thanks tynan ! I really enjoy your game :) Keep up the good work
Thank you Tynan Sylvester. This game is awesome.
from all the early access games I've bought over the years
this is one of the only ones to actually start turning into a full product.
the amount of times i wasted my money on games that jump out of alpha&beta in 2 months missing almost all of the essentials.
Great job devs, thank you for a consistent flow of updates!
For this game to grow unhindered, a 64-bit client may be needed. The plant needs to migrate from the pot into the big ol' world.
So the combat log is basically the same as dwarf fortress but with a bit more flavour added in
No, the combat log is basically the most creative any random narrative generation can get, and is not exclusive to anything, especially dwarf fortress. Just like how rimworld's guns are basically the same as call of duty.
wow. triggered much? I never said that its exclusive to dwarf fortress, I was just pointing out that this is almost exactly the same. Like, even the wording is the same such as body parts "exploding into gore" which is a well know saying among the DF community.
Note how I also didn't say that it was a bad thing, and even said that it has more flavour in its combat log, like how to people fighting look at eat other, than dwarf fortress does.
now when i see any game with a combat log im going to get on my hands and knees and pray to the dwarf fortress gods and thank them for a combat log which has been in games many times and isn't exclusive like you think it is and you are just as bad as dark souls fans saying a game is challenging so it must be like dark souls
wow, a lot of people are super triggered by this simple fact. Yes, the combat log isn't exclusive to dwarf fortress, however this combat log in particular from the type of game its in to how the log is written, is almost completely identical, That was the whole point I was making.
I said that the combat log is basically the same as dwarf fortress.
You argue that combat logs aren't exclusive to dwarf fortress.
I at no point ever said that they were. Stop arguing against something I never said.
Dwarf Fortress has the most popular combat log system and Rimworld's is clearly inspired by it.
Be less salty that what he said is true.
I love the randomly generated area names keep up the good work
Tynan love you're game and I love that you are a creator who plays with community mods and listens to the community while still going with you're original plan you're not like the others who throw there idea away and do what makes everyone happy or someone who won't change the original plan no matter how annoying something else is and you also care about the modders
content is looking really good! all we need now are some reasons to maintain a permanent colony :D maybe some more renewable resource structures to reflect that?
Great new additions, like how questing will now matter with unique ancient tech
Nice, hard to believe release is coming up.
Sweet :) Cant wait for the mods which will come out for this
Strange, that officially it wasn't even in beta, yet. It was already a full game when it got released imho. Never experienced any bugs but instead lots of great stories and drama in my multiple groups of survivors. It just keeps getting bigger and better.
There are "stable" and "final" games on the market that offer you less and keep crashing. Great work, Tynan!
Incredible! I am so pumped for this game!
This update is so fucking amazing!
The orbital bombardment, the job queuing, and the caves in particular really makes me giddy with excitement!
Iv had this game sense the very first alpha i used to get my game monthly through gmail till you got it on steam been a great game keep up the great work
Damn, awesome update!! Thank you!
I like the changes. Much appreciated!
One of my favorite games before my pc was stolen and I miss this game very much, wish I could play but best of luck in moving forward with the game and looking forward to the day I may be able to play again
legend! cant wait to try it :)
AHH WHY DO YOU KEEP RELEASING GOOD UPDATES YOUR GAME IS EATING MY LIFE.
I love how each feature is a new surprise for you. xD
WHOO! Rimworld is finally out of Alpha! HYPE TRAIN
it took space engineers 4 years to get into beta, you beat their record :3
words alone are not enough to describe how awesome this is!
god bless working queues
Nice work! Loading it up now =)
AWESOME updates. But there will be a tutorial to remind and teach us how to use or get those new things? it would be awesome too. Thanks for everything! You guys rock!
Great update Tynan! Rimworld is currently one of the best games aviable on steam
Queued actions Hallelujah! Also the caves look super cool. Will they be entirely visible like in above or fow'd until explored? Man I already loved Rimworld so much and with every new patch so much more cool stuff gets added. Thanks Tynan :-)
OMGG FINALLY A UPDATE VIDEO!!!!!!!
Great work, as always
Great work! I never went out to do dangerous quests for just a megascreen television but now i want this ancient tech! :D Thanks Tynan, i will lose a lot of good colonists on new adventures, their blood is on your hands. ;D
Thank you, Tynan.
Great! I love Rimworld! Please keep up the great work. I really enjoy playing the game! :D
Excelent Work, iam impressed.
the tornado effect looks really cool
Looks so awesome :D thanks man!
This is one of the handful of games I have kept installed for YEARS because I know this developper constantly provides updates.
Sweet!
Though I think the tornado should come from one side, and leave in a semi straight path
Keep up the good work!
i love Rimworld, thanks tynan, you are great
Thank you, Tynan, for updating your awesome game! Umm... not to complain, but the audio for your voice tends to get softer then louder then softer (repeat, ad nauseaum). Might be a bad microphone.
Awesome! Great work Tynan! Wouldn't it technically be Beta 1.0 ? (I have no idea what I'm saying, don't crucify me internet!) Anyway: This was worth the wait. Looking forward to spend many hours on this one.
He's keeping the numbers for the sake of clarity. It's still the 18th major update to the game.
I dread updates due to my massive collection of mods. But at the same time im always excited to see whats new. Hopefully all my mods get updated to b18 soon, and hopefully i can still use my old saves though xD
Danke papa Tynan, im gonna set some tribals on fire with the power beam in your honor
I'm still waiting for the map edge expansion and a turret upgrade and/or type expansion. Oh and, how about a total war-esque diplomacy system that makes conquered cities or factions pay tribute/send reinforcements in attacks. This would entail the introduction of sworn enemies or allies. This would provide further incentive for the player to get outside their spawn point, or build colonies - if the base count may increase. For quality of life, I think hand me that brick, or while you're up mods should be implemented into vanilla logistics to some extent. Boy, I'm asking for too much
You can have up to 5 bases already. The map size is also changeable initially, just choose the one your cpu can still run.
Mods... mods are your friend.
oh you could also have it so when a leader dies the reputation lessens a bit or if a friend of a colonist gets in power they'll improve
Awesome update. Thank you.
Add multiplayer with just multiple clients and do not have mode, just give the host ACL control over everything. So the host could share control completely, only allow the guest to control in a certain area, or only able to build with a certain type of material. Think ss13 / mush assignments for guests. It’s a pipe dream I know
