Mine Vein sounds good but I definitely know it's going to get pawns killed via roof collapses. The expansion does sound pretty cool though and performance improvements are always appreciated. If they just slowly start multi-threading everything, that'll be great for larger endgame colonies.

Holy poo poo. I just read the blog post. All those QOL mods baked in. Wall Lights is such a big one. Although with how modular the mod itself became, letting you adjust power draw and radii, it may not be wholly depreciated yet.

Yeah, I can see a lot of mods I no longer need. Wall Light, Endless Rimworld, ZITools Object Seeker, CM Color Coded Mood Bar, and that's just the ones I see in the announcement. So much joy about Hidden Conduits, too. It's such a pain providing power to rooms carved out of rock without ruining the prettiness.

The post says it has more content than any previous expansion. Considering how much stuff was in biotech, that's a wild statement.

Huh, not really sure about the premise of the expansion but I said the same thing about Ideology and it ended up being a fundamental pillar of my games so I'll give this a shot.

all those good features so there has to be something in bizarrely pointless detail that nobody ever asked for, like "now you can shoot a dude's nipples off with a crossbow"

I always play RimWorld as a dollhouse where I plan for everybody to be happy, so it'll be interesting playing it as a horror game.

Okay, so who had their money for "Which major mod will Rimworld turn into DLC" as "VOID, Zombieland, and Rim of Madness," because I sure as gently caress didn't. Honestly not thrilled about it, not because I think the content will be bad, but because they're using a very VOID-esque art style that I find grotesque and unpleasant to look at, and rather jarring compared to everything else in the game. Which, to be fair, I'm sure is the point, but I can't see myself ever enabling those flesh monsters or doing SCP stuff. That said, patch 1.5 sounds loving great and also like the modpocalypse. Multithreading pawns is absolutely the correct call, but also, holy poo poo so many mods are going to burst into flames. The SOS people are drinking at noon today.

From what it said, it sounds like you make a conscious choice to wake up the 'mad superintelligence' which causes all the horror stuff to kick off. I assume that if you don't make that decision, most of the stuff doesn't occur, same as you can ignore the Imperials and never get involved with a lot of the Royalty stuff.

So on the one hand I am always excited for a new expansion, but on the other hand I am unsure how much you are forced to interact with the new content. Will all the games go spooky horror? Is it toggleable outside of the game versus diagetically inside the game? What are the limits to the horror? All this stuff is super cool, but it seems like it could railroad runs into spooky-town every time if not carefully managed, or take too much away from player control. One of the events in the early alpha days was an event that a recruited prisoner suddenly turned into a traitor. No player mitigation, just gently caress you. It was removed because of lack of player control. A lot of this horror stuff seems the same because lack of control is a good horror mechanic. The team always knocks it out of the park with expansions so I am sure there are good answers to my questions and I just need to wait, this is all just my initial feelings.

As mentioned upthread, all of the expansions so far have basically let you choose how much you wanted to engage with the content. Don't like the Empire or Psycasts? Ignore their quests and don't use psyformers. Don't like Ideologies? Use a super low-impact one or simply turn them off entirely. Don't like mechanitors? Simply don't get the mechlink. Don't want to do gene tinkering? Don't bother! It would surprise me to a great degree if they decided that this was going to be the first expansion where you're forced to engage. There will almost 100% definitely be some kind of trigger you have to pull to get Spooky Stuff to start happening.

quote:Mechanoids can now emerge from bodies of water to attack your colony. Really hate this one, because large bodies of water limiting possible approaches was one of the few terrain features that could rival mountain bases for safety. This eliminates that and pigeonholes you even harder into mountain bases being the one optimal way to play.
