I, for one, cannot wait to turn my friends into tree worshipping hippies through the RimWorld Multiplayer Mod.A sci fi colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller. Alternatively, preview images and details on Ideology are available on the RimWorld Steam Page. Head over to Ludeon’s official Google Doc to see the full RimWorld 1.3 patch notes. This is only a quick rundown of what is in store for the RimWorld 1.3 update. It’s not quite Total War, but it’s a step in the right direction for those of us who like to appear organized in the midst of a battle. One final thing to note about the 1.3 combat changes is that combat formations can be set up and selected, rather than having to rely on basic individual movement. Rather than have to drag wounded colleagues to a bed to heal, colonists will instead move them to safe spots, meaning they should be able to receive medical attention more quickly and effectively. In addition, colonists will be much more responsive in combat, and they’ll be able to carry medicine in their inventories to help heal themselves during battle. It’s a mechanic designed to add more strategy to setting up defences, and move the meta away from so-called “killboxes” This will allow enemies to take down walls easier and even use breaching weapons to tunnel beneath a base and appear inside it. The other major change coming to RimWorld 1.3 is the Breach Warfare mechanic. Also, more beard options! Combat Changes and QOL We’re not sure if that means we’ll see cybernetic implants, but it will surely become possible via future DLC or mods. This will allow for injuries to be shown. Increased detail is coming to character customisation, thanks to the new way character models are to be rendered. Animals will also have expanded roles to further their purpose in colonies. Furthermore, there will be dedicated Pens and Fence options, creating designated areas for animals in the game. There will be new items in the game, such as Egg Boxes, which will vastly improve the way tamed animals work. While taming animals was always in the base game, Farmers and Handlers can soon now build their ranches till their hearts are content. Here is an example of the upcoming animal features in RimWorld. This is just a taste of what the expansion will offer, but if you are not into religion and myth, there is also a huge base camp update to get excited about. If that isn’t enough, the in-game quest system will have new missions, allowing players to find ‘Indiana Jones Style’ tombs and locations, discovering hidden religious secrets and enemies along the way. Mysticism and magic will be a part of Ideology, as mythical creatures will feature in the expansion, such as Dryads and magical trees. There appears to be a limitless scope for extreme cultural diversity and the Ideology settings will be easily moddable, allowing infinite possibilities via the Steam Workshop. If you want them to become pagan tribal cannibals – something the Romans would have happily conquered – then that is one possibility. Ideology can also influence what culture your people follow. Whether that is based on types of clothes, weapons, armor, food to use, or the style of art that followers can appreciate. Looking at the Ideology menu, it seems like the rules of any religion can specify what is and isn’t acceptable. Part of the RimWorld Ideology expansion aims to introduce religions to the game. It will focus heavily on the RPG side of RimWorld, allowing players to further improve their storytelling experience. The Rimworld Ideology expansion will cram together 15 months worth of development.
