Hello RimWorld players! I've just released RimWorld version 1.3.3101. This one comes with a long list of new stuff and improvements for the base game and both expansions. Full changelog is below. Fluid ideoligions: The big feature in this update is fluid ideoligions. You can start the game in a new mode where you define a simple, minimal ideoligion to begin with. Then, during play, you'll earn development points by completing rituals and taking actions that satisfy your beliefs. With enough development points, you can reform your ideoligion to alter memes, styles, precepts, and everything else. You'll be able to build up the complexity and intensity of your belief system as the game progresses. The original system with stable ideoligions also remains available, if you want to play a specific belief system from the start. Compatibility: This update should be compatible with all savegames and mods. Thanks: Thanks to everyone who helped us test this update on the official development Discord server, and to modders (Oskar and pals) who updated their mods to keep compatibility! Don't hesitate to review Ideology on its Steam page! EDIT: Build quickly updated to 1.3.3102 to fix an issue with the biosculpter pods not working right. Changelog below.

New stuff

- Add new fluid ideo system. This allows you to start the game with a "fluid" ideoligion that has only one meme. Over time, you gain development points on that ideoligion by completing rituals and other ideoligion-related actions. With enough development points, you can reform the ideoligion to alter memes or precepts, change styles, change structure, and more. - Add darklight braziers. - Predators no longer hunt animals on the other side of fences. Predators can still randomly wander into animal pens. - Add an alert to thell the player when a predator has wandered into a pen in use. - The game now shows the source of each piece of content on its stats card, so you know which expansion/mod something came from. It also shows which expansion/mod each research project came from. - Players can now choose a few items to bring to new archonexus settlement. This is especially helpful for things you really need like luciferium. - Add grace period where expectation levels are not increased for pawns with certain ideology roles after starting new archonexus settlement. - Add tongue body part. Tongue is removable via surgery, if you'd prefer someone not speak. The tongue won't be damaged in combat. - Add bionic tongue that replaces tongue. - Add allow slave corpse toggle to various storage areas and buildings so you can separate slave corpses from colonist corpses. - Added new ancient junk - additional mech parts for more visual variation, more ancient cars, wheels, etc. - Added copy/paste gizmos for biosculpter nutrition settings. - Added toggleable texture compression and atlas texture compression in the options menu.

Improvements

- Update royal title room requirement grace period to include the first 10 days after a new archonexus settlement. - Draw lines when placing blueprints displaying what would affect Gauranlen trees' connection strength. Display the artificial buildings connection strength loss radius when the tree is selected. - We now remove ship to stars tile from map after new archonexus settlement, confirm the player is okay with this. - On ritual config window, draw a highlight over pawns that can be assigned to a role you're currently hovering over. - Extractable trees are no longer auto-minifiable in caravan forming dialog. - We now hide quests that are ended by starting a new archonexus settlement - Re-enabled random social interactions for bestowing ceremony and fixed it breaking down when pawns start social fighting. - Starting with an ideoligion that dislikes animal bonding now causes all starting animals to be unbonded. - Tweaked the archonexus "choose items to take to new colony" dialog formatting. - The mood bonus for relics in the same room as ritual can be now increased by installing up to 3 relics. Adjusted mood impacts. - Ideoligion buildings are now only demanded for the player's faction ideoligion and secondary ideoligions that have 3 colonist members or more. - Destroying rocks with weapons now triggers a bad thought for ideoligions where mining is disapproved. - Change ritual quality check graphics to look less like togglable ones for better UI clarity. - Don't show anima linking command on every nature focus capable pawn anymore, to reduce UI spam. You can still start it via float command or from anima tree directly. - Pawns now recover from berserk trance on being downed. - Dryad healing pods now heal all negative hediffs including missing body parts. When return to healing pod is toggled on, dryads will return to healing pods if they have any missing parts. - Skulls now keep track of the name of the pawn they originated from. - Update descriptions of individualist and collectivist memes. - Wind turbine, skullspike and neural supercharger can now be walked through like most other buildings. - Biosculpters now list what will be cured and what can possibly be cured in the tooltip for the healing cycle if the biosculpter is tuned to a pawn. - We now avoid using sun blocker as a threat if any colonist or prisoner has an ideo with darkness/tunneler, since it's kind of meaningless to them. - Add note about work to deconstruct to 'work to build' stat description. - Adjust some thought descriptions so that they still make sense for blind people. - Timbershrooms can now grow wild in caves. - Minified things now inherit their inner thing's flammability. - Removed culture restrictions when choosing ideoligion - More informative float menu options for not being able to enter a biosculpter. - Split biosculpter healing cycle into two distinct cycles: Medic and bioregeneration. Added a new research project requiring multianalyzer and biosculpting that enables bioregeneration cycle. Medic cycle treats short-term wounds, while bioregeneration can heal permanent scars, age-related conditions, and some smaller missing limbs. - Changed extract tree hotkey to be the same as uninstalling. - Smoothed out tree cutting anger thought from the tree connection meme by adding more steps in between the stages.
