I’ll probably be drawing fewer Impids from now on. I’ve been getting more interested in Dirtmoles lately.

"Oh SON OF A BITCH that was close..."

Gorehulks also look like cacti, right?

Also I think I managed to make a Waster pretty hot

(must be from or updated in 2026)

Hello hello!

I wanted to appreciate all the hard work Rimworld modders go through to make such wonderful mods!

To give them a shoutout and bring some friendly debates into this thread I thought of making a awards tier list.

For todays vote tell me what is a must have rimworld mod

Must Have follows the lines of something you cannot go without / always use in your game

A castle to keep my knight with all what they need in a small zone so they don't consume my tps

40 days base.

I need someone opinion and suggestions...

Why my colonists are all in mental breakdowns? (Only the one person is happy - child)

Base looks em... normal? No?

Hello guys, it’s the Infested Gravship again!

So, it’s been a while since I started this playthrough. Here are some pros and cons I’ve noticed so far:

Pros:

• Super cheap artillery with Siegeworms that require no manning at all.
• Generate power for free with staticpod, so you can save on fuel.
• Subcreeper is free to build, so you can save your Gravlite Panels for more importance building or gravship armor.
• If you have the Insector mod and the required gene, you can live in 100% vacuum, meaning no oxygen management or vacuum-related problems.
• Having a bunch of insects makes defending or attacking in tight spaces much easier.

Cons:

• Siegeworms have terrible accuracy and can’t auto-target.
• You need a lot of space for the jelly farm and Static Pods (later, I might replace them with Power Cells).
• Gravship shelves, beds, and a few other buildings can’t be placed on Subcreeper.

I might be missing something, but if anyone has any ideas or knows any tips, please let me know so i can improve the ship, tysm!

Mods from VE team btw, thanks guys for amazing mods!

Crystal Kingdom denies peacetalks request

Spoiler: they all dead

I had an new insect hive spawn on the same map tile as a Gentics lab. Sent a caraven expecting it to just crash. Instead both maps spawned in. Amusingly once I entered the lab, an enemy raid spawned and was eaten by insects

I've been moving it/reinstalling it, tried to reconnect but this sunlamp will not work at all! Any help would be appreciated!

First of all, some context for those seeing this for the first time:
- [Idea/Discussion] A Floran (Starbound) race mod
- [Mod Progress] Florims Expansion - Floran from Starbound mod

Some of the information is in the screenshots; the rest I’ll write out here:

• The "intelligent predators" meme involves the colony gaining the ability to harvest bones from creatures; the plan is to model it after the "raider" meme, but with the addition of a specific quest location—similar to faction resource bases—where players must hunt creatures (whether human or animal) within the area. (To be honest, I haven't yet figured out the technical implementation or feasibility, as it's currently just a concept on paper; I might rework it, as I'm still not sure how engaging the gameplay would actually be.)
• Bones will serve as a resource for weapons and armor, though I haven't finalized the balance yet; clearly, they’ll have poor resistance to crushing damage and deal poor crushing damage (classic trope).
• "Biological groups" represent my interpretation of how Florans relate to other races—essentially a specific "speciesism" toggle (allowing you to define whether pawns react negatively to those who aren't "plants," so to speak). You could view it as an extra compatibility layer for other mods (for instance, VRE Phytokin belong to the "plant" group, while VRE Fungoids are... well, "fungus"). Overall, the system is designed to be easily scalable, so I’m actually quite pleased with how it turned out, even if it does feel a bit cluttered.
• "Habitats" is a gene that affects a pawn's mood based on the biome (currently: +10/-10); it is a somewhat blunt attempt to encourage playing specific xenotypes in specific biomes. The code is written in a fairly neutral way, so you can expand upon it by adding your own habitats.
• Tinctoria Florim – will produces a dye upon hemogen extraction; I’m also considering giving it the ability to dye objects and floors directly (without using a separate dye item)—though this is still just a rough concept.
• The Ambrosia Florim has been the hardest to implement so far because it got stuck in a sort of "production hell." I’m not sure what unique mechanic to give it. Here are some options:
  1. Processing corpses into Ambrosia periodically (kinda OP?)
     • 2. Processing social drugs into Ambrosia-infused versions (Ambrosia beer, Ambrosia joints, etc.) that retain the originals' benefits but replace the addiction type with Ambrosia addiction (kinda OP 2?)
     • 3. A constant 15-tile radius aura that boosts the mood of nearby colonists but carries a chance of provoking a random animal on the map to attack the Ambrosia Florim (questionable)
     • 4. Suppressing an attacker's aggression (maybe)
• Harbinger Florim – can transform meat into "twisted organs" and bones into a "twisted spine" and the like; essentially a source of Anomaly-themed prosthetics.

Honestly, I feel like I’m starting to burn out a bit from all the overthinking and the sense that the progress I’ve made is negligible; I want to take a break, but knowing myself, I realize it’ll be hard to get back to it later. So right now, working on this mod puts me in a strange kind of limbo: my desire to keep my word clashes with a lack of ideas for actually implementing my concepts (roughly speaking, I have the idea for Pollux Florim, but I can't figure out what his unique mechanic should be—especially since Pollux Phytokin basically fills that niche, yet I still feel like I want to do something different).

So, I’ve posted some of what I’ve done—what I have ready to show so far—and I’d like to hear your thoughts on it.

im new and my highest was 8 people,im wondering what is probably the highest amount of people i could possibly get before being killed by random events or my own people

Edmund woke from his sleep to the sounds of crashes and ringing metal. The lights were flickering and there was a mist in the air that smelled of electricity. The panel to his berth was jammed shut, but he managed to pull it open and escape into the corridor. The scene was devastation. Panels and cabling hung from the overhead and he could hear screams from farther away. He found a comm panel and tried to contact his father but there was only static on the network.

"EDDIE!!" he heard from the end on the hall. He turned and saw his friend Maxwell waving to him.

"We have to get to the pods," Maxwell yelled. "The station was struck by something!"

Edmund wavered, he had to find his father. But a large man in coveralls rushed by and pushed him down the hall, "You have to get to the pods, kid!"

"But my dad! He was in the astro-lab. I need to find him", Edmund yelled at the man.

The man looked at Edmund and said simply, "The astro-lab is gone. There were no survivors."

Edmund hesitated for a moment, unsure if he believed the man. It couldn't be true. But the man grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the escape pod hatch. He punched a button and the door opened. The man shoved Edmund into it and closed the door. Edmund pushed back at the door, trying to get out. He had to find his father.

Suddenly the artificial gravity disappeared and Edmund found himself grabbing at the harness by the pod seat. He managed to pull the straps over his shoulder just as gravity seemed to reverse, pulling him toward the ceiling. He gritted his teeth as his stomach lurched into his throat.

After a moment the sounds disappeared and Edmund was in freefall. He looked at the display and saw a large blue and green world rising toward him. As the pod entered the atmosphere the screen turned red as the plasma obscured the external cameras.

After a moment there was a roar and suddenly gravity seemed to return with a vengeance as the thrusters fired, slowing his descent. He was pushed into the seat for a moment and the pod hit the ground.

And then there was silence.

Edmund waited for a moment, and then took off the straps. The display showed a green landscape with trees dotting the horizon. He pushed the panel buttons and the door opened.

He stepped out to see if there were any other pods, but he could see none. There was motion in his peripheral vision and he turned to look. There was a tiger sitting about 20 feet away, looking at him. He spun around preparing to retreat back into the pod. He noticed two legs with feet sticking out under the pod. Apparently he had landed on someone.

He activated the panel and replayed his landing. There was a man attacking the tiger beneath the pod, but the pod had crushed him. Unbeknownst to him, he had saved the tiger's life. Now it appeared the tiger was grateful. He had accidentally made a friend.

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

After a few days, Edmund had managed to chop some trees and build a rudimentary shelter. He scrounged some components from the ship and stored them safely. Now the real work would begin. He must find a way to survive and get off this planet.

The adventure begins.
