I'm happy to bring you another RimWorld update! This is a refinement update for 1.2 which also includes some new apparel and permits. Below is the full list of changes. Compatibility: Hundreds of testers have been trying this build for weeks, so it doesn't have major known mod incompatibilities. Of course, with thousands of mods out there I expect a few hiccups but in general it should be compatible. Non-modded savegames will of course be totally compatible. If for any reason you want to continue with an old version, please use the Steam betas feature to go back to the version you want. Thanks to all the testers, translators, and our amazing developers! -Ty

New features

- New apparel - Beret: Worn by various lower-ranking Imperial nobles. - New apparel - Cape: This stylish cape functions similarly to a duster. Worn by various middle-ranking Imperial nobles. - New apparel - Gunlink: This tactical headgear offers no protection, but increases shooting accuracy.

Worn by some middle-ranking Imperial nobles. - New apparel - Stellic crown: A unique, gigantic crown worn by the high stellarch. - New permit - Steel drop: Call down some steel resources. - New permit - Glitterworld medicine drop: Call down some glitterworld medicine. - New permit - Silver drop: Call down some silver. - New permit - Food drop: Call down some food. - When forming a caravan, animals now instantly go to the caravan packing spot instead of waiting for a colonist to take them. This speeds up the caravan formation process significantly. - You can now place blueprints separately for different types of buildings in a monument, so you can make them of different materials. - We now display a text mote when a player pawn gains a new level in a skill. - If you have a menu with a very large number of commands, as in a powerful psycaster, some of them will be displayed smaller. - Use drug commands are now condensed onto a single command if a pawn carries more than one drug type. - Allow projectiles to be rendered with a visual arc and ground shadow.

Instead, we give favor up to the inherited title and generate a bestowing quest for the heir.
