*Oscar22007: Research on xenotypes and prefered xenotypes; "xeno"-type will be overlooked if pawn has the right "endo"-type. Added options around this fact and did some cleanup

'''Ideoligions''' are both a system of mechanics introduced by, and the primary focus of, the [[Ideology DLC]]. They allow colonies to introduce a variety of new restrictions and capabilities to change gameplay, as well as new interactions with other factions.
{{TOCright}}

== Type of ideoligion ==
Whenever you start a new game, you will see the Ideology selection menu once you've selected a world tile.

* '''Ideology system inactive''' - Disables most of the Ideology system. Player colonies and factions will no longer have any ideoligion. With this option, you can create any ''style'', or cosmetic variant, of building (click the circle icon in the [[Architect]] tab, right next to the search bar).
:However, some aspects of the ideoligion system remain. You can still assign a [[Leader]], and will have access to a funeral and 2 [[ritual]]s - a dance party and drum party.{{Check Tag|Verify|Extremely quick testing}} In addition, there will be 3 randomized [[relic]]s that you can search for.

* '''Create ideoligion (fluid)''' - Design an ideoligion that can change over time.
:A fluid ideoligion only has access to 1 [[meme]] at the start of the game, which cannot be a high impact meme. Otherwise, a fluid ideoligion has the same customization options as a fixed ideoligion. The difference is that a fluid ideology can change over the course of the game. As you gain [[#Development points|development points]], you can add / remove memes, and re-customize just about everything else.

* '''Create ideoligion (fixed)''' - Design an ideoligion with complete control.

* '''Presets''' - Use an ideoligion already created for you. Want to live under the mountain, but don't want to make a full ideoligion? Pick the "Mole people" preset. You will start with a Funeral and 2 other random [[ritual]]s, as well as a random [[relic]]. Other aspects of the ideoligion will also be randomized.
:For example, the "Classic-like" preset will have the following precepts:
<div style="column-count:2; width:600px">
* [[#Corpses|Corpses: Ugly]]
* [[#Insect meat|Insect meat: Despised]]
* [[#Marriage name|Marriage name: Usually man's]]
* [[#Eating nutrient paste|Eating nutrient paste: Disgusting]]
* [[#Physical love|Physical love: Free]]
* [[#Women's spouses|Women's spouses: One only]]
* [[#Men's spouses|Men's spouses: One only]]
</div>

=== Development points ===
{{For|a guide for how to convert a non-fluid ideoligion to a fluid ideoligion via save editing|Fluid ideoligion save conversion guide}}
Fluid ideoligions are mostly the same as a static one, but can be changed over time through development points. When you have enough points, you can reform the ideoligion. It costs 10 points for the first reformation, and increases by +2 per reform until a max of 20 points. You cannot "store" points; once you can reform, no more points are gained.

Development points can be obtained in the following ways:
* Performing [[rituals]]. Rituals will give a varying amount of points depending on if they are "anytime" rituals or "dated" rituals, how many rituals the ideoligion has and the quality of the ritual. If a ritual achieves a goal that awards development points (such as a conversion), both the points for the goal and the ritual are received in full. Anytime rituals (including funerals) give 1 point for a good outcome and 2 points for a great outcome.
Dated rituals grant more points the fewer rituals the ideoligion has, -as detailed below- however Funerals, Gladiator Duels, Blinding, and Scarification rituals '''''Do not''''' count for the following table.

Reformation allows you to add ''or'' remove 1 meme, ''or'' change the structure of your ideoligion. If you add a meme, you cannot remove / replace another meme or change structure. In addition, you can only add 1 [[style]] at a time. All other changes are unlimited.

== Forming an ideoligion ==
An ideoligion consists of many separate aspects to customize:

'''Primary'''
* '''[[#Structure|Structure]]''' - What deities (or lack thereof) that followers believe in. Examples include ''Abstract theist'', that "god(s) are formless and everywhere", or ''Christian origin'', which is closer to the Abrahamic religions of the west. Structure helps determine the randomized names and lore of your ideoligion. This is almost entirely cosmetic, but can add a few ritual options.

* '''[[#Memes|Memes]]''' - The basic beliefs of the ideoligion. An ideoligion with the ''Cannibal'' meme will definitely enjoy human meat. Each ideoligion can have up to 4 memes. Most memes do not add much on their own, but affect what precepts the ideoligion has and cannot have. Some memes have access to [[roles|specialists]].

* '''[[#Precepts|Precepts]]''' - What a follower's belief systems are. Precepts directly determine how colonists will react to certain actions. An ideoligion with ''Cannibalism: Preferred'' will have followers enjoy eating human meat. An ideoligion with ''Cannibalism: Required (Ravenous)'' will want to eat human meat for every meal.
:Certain precepts have statistical effects beyond mood. For instance, ''Drugs: Essential'' boosts drug crop yield, synthesis speed, and sell price. These tend to be locked behind their associated meme.

'''Secondary'''
* '''[[Rituals]]''' - Special occasions, from Dance Party to Animal Sacrifice to Funerals. Every time you do a ritual, you can end up with a good or bad outcome. Good outcomes will increase colonist [[mood]], and come with a special, defined reward. For example, a spectacular festival can give you a random recruit, or cause a [[gauranlen pod]] to sprout.

:You can increase the chances of a good outcomes by following the ritual's requirements. A funeral can be done without your colonist's body, but the quality will be increased if the corpse is buried.

* '''[[#Roles|Roles]]''' - Every ideoligion has a Leader and Moral Guide. From there, you can have up to 2 types of specialists. A Shooting Specialist will be great at ranged combat, but is unable to do many types of skilled work. Note that you can have as many specialists of a specific type as you want. For example, you can have 3 Shooting Specialists in a single colony, but cannot have a Shooting, Plants, AND Research specialist in the same ideoligion.

* '''[[Relic]]s''' - Ideoligions can have relics. Relics can be either Legendary [[quality]] weapons or specific types of items that serve no other purpose. Relics must be found from a specific, multi-part relic hunt quest, which can take many years. Having a relic present will cause a number of benefits.

* '''Buildings''' - Buildings used by your ideoligion: [[altar]]s, [[sacrificial flag]]s, etc. Largely used for rituals. Altars and the like will eventually be demanded by followers of your ideoligion in a temple room.

* '''Preferences''' - Ideoligions can prefer [[apparel]], [[weapon]]s, and [[xenotype]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} as well as venerate specific [[animal]]s. Colonists will like having/being around preferred items. Whether a colonist will dislike a non-preferred item is dependent on the preference in question.

'''Descriptive'''
* '''[[#Styles|Styles]]''' - How buildings made by an ideoligious builder will look. Largely cosmetic. However, it interacts with the Diversity of Thought precept. If colonists are neutral or bigoted, then they will enjoy being near styles of the same ideoligion. If colonists appreciate Diversity of Thought, they will enjoy being near styled buildings that their ideoligion could not make. Certain styles will affect more or less buildings.

* '''[[#Cultures|Cultures]]''' - Roughly where your ideoligion comes from. Astropolitian represents those coming from space. Corunan represents [[New Tribe|tribes]] in general. Entirely cosmetic.

* '''Lore''' - A randomly generated description of the ideoligion, based off of memes, structures, cultures, etc. Entirely cosmetic.

* '''Icon / color''' - An ideoligion's icon is used whenever an ideology will be displayed. The color of the icon will be a preferred color for followers. Followers gain a {{+|1}} moodlet for wearing their ideology's color, or their own favorite color. All colors require [[dye]] and the same amount of dye.

== Certainty ==
{{Main|Certainty}}

'''Certainty''' is how willing a colonist is to maintain their current ideoligion. Conversion attempts reduce certainty. Once certainty hits 0%, a pawn's ideology will change.

== Structure ==
Choosing your structure affects which symbols the game uses for your ideoligion, and allows for the selection of some rituals that would otherwise require specific memes. It also influences some random generation options and flavor text but these can be overridden by player selection.

== Cultures ==
Cultures affect names, appearances, and symbols.

|}
Additionally, the [[Ancient]] factions, [[Outlander refugee group]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[Beggars]],{{IdeologyIcon}} [[Pilgrims]],{{IdeologyIcon}} and the [[Horax cult]]{{AnomalyIcon}} do not have any culture assigned to them; therefore they may use any existing one randomly.

== Styles ==
{{recode|section=1|reason=Use collapsibles to allow a non-intrusive display of the styles where the reader can tab between the styles}}
An ideoligion can have 0-3 associated styles. People belonging to that ideoligion will apply those styles when making specific items. Colonists will get thoughts based on the styles of the objects around them, depending on their ideoligion's [[#Diversity of thought|diversity of thought]] precept either for having surroundings match or not match their ideoligion. Neutral surroundings produce no thought. If multiple styles of an ideoligion affect the same object, left-most applies. Note that building appearance in the construction menu will be based on your primary ideoligion, but the actual building might be different if built by a pawn of a different ideoligion.

=== Style dominance ===
Pawns consider objects with style dominance within 27 tiles outdoors, or in the same room regardless of distance. An item is considered "uniform" if pawn's ideoligion can build it, and "diverse" otherwise, regardless of the actual style: for example, a totemic table will be considered diverse for an ideoligion with morbid and totemic styles, because the morbid style overrides totemic tables. If the total style dominance of uniform or diverse objects is at least 10 more than the other category, pawns will get an appropriate thought; the actual style of the object does not matter for stacking either: a morbid slab and a totemic slab in the same room will be uniform for an ideoligion with both styles, cancel each other out and give no thought for an ideoligion with one of those styles, and diverse for an ideoligion with neither.

An ideoligion with no styles would still consider its own buildings (such as ideogram), but not ritual seats, to be uniform.

Clothing, whether worn or placed on the ground, and uninstalled objects have no impact on style dominance.

== Memes ==
You must choose one to four memes at the beginning of your playthrough to form the foundational ideas of your ideoligion. Some have much more gameplay impact than others. Hovering over a meme will show you the information in this table.

<nowiki/>* Appears on faction's options but conflicts with required meme 
<nowiki/>** Since only two memes available, one of Individualist OR Collectivist must be chosen 
<nowiki/>*** Only restricts what memes can be auto-generated and loaded from saved ideoligions, can otherwise lack or possess any memes

=== Natural goodwill with other factions ===
Additionally, Supremacist and Raider have {{Bad|-50}} with everyone, Loyalist {{Bad|-10}} with everyone, and Guilty {{Good|+10}} with everyone. There is a {{Good|+10}} bonus for having the same ideoligion.

Modifiers stack, but each pair only applies once; for example Flesh purity + Cannibal vs Flesh purity + Cannibal give {{Good|+10}} for Flesh purity/Flesh purity, {{Good|+10}} for Cannibal/Cannibal, and {{Good|+10}} for Flesh purity/Cannibal.

== Precepts ==
{{Recode|reason=Convert mood descriptions to [[Template: Thought]]. {{Error|DO NOT}} convert without adequate detail to fully utilize the template, including max stack count, duration etc.}}
Associated precepts have a chance to appear if a meme is present, but can still be removed if not required.

Some precepts are available to all ideologies, some require at least one of the enabling memes, and some may be unavailable if certain memes are present.

=== Present in every ideoligion ===
There are 19 issues (precept categories) that are present in every ideoligion and may not be removed. However, their level may be changed. They include "basic" precepts from the base game, used in "Play Classic".

*Initial colonists, newly generated pawns (due to events, quests, raids, etc.), as well as pawns after changing map due to Archonexus quest have a 20 to 40 day grace period before they start demanding age reversal (it will replace their age reversal demanded date, even if it would come after that period).
*Whenever a pawn's faction or ideology change they'll get a 15-20 day grace period before they start demanding age reversal (unless their next age reversal demanded date will come after that period).

== Roles ==
{{Main|Roles}}
Roles are positions available to pawns that grant them both special benefits and drawbacks. Every ideoligion has at least two roles: [[Leader]] and [[Moral guide]]. There can be only 1 '''leader''' globally, and 1 '''moral guide''' per ideoligion.

Additionally, each ideoligion grants up to 2 types of [[specialist]]s; a role that grants large bonuses and abilities related to a specific field in exchange of inability of doing one or more types of work. This limitation only applies to the type of specialization, not the total number of specialists.

== Rituals ==
{{Main|Rituals}}

{{Ritual table}}

== Relics ==
{{Main|Relic}}
Relics are objects revered by your ideoligion that require a series of quests in order to be obtained. These are always of legendary quality, when applicable. Relics grant various bonuses, both when found and when present in rituals, some of which require being placed in a [[Reliquary]]. A relic being lost causes a malus of {{Thought|desc=The relic has been lost! A travesty!|label=relic lost|value=-5|stack=5|duration=30}} while a relic being destroyed causes a malus of {{Thought|desc=The relic was destroyed! A travesty!|label=relic destroyed|value=-5|stack=5|duration=30}}.

When placed in a Reliquary, pilgrims of your ideoligion will visit your colony to pay reverence to the relic.

== Buildings ==
Ideoligions can add special buildings that are required for either rituals or as statues of that ideologion.

=== Ritual seat ===
Ideologions can have a maximum of 1 type of ritual seat.

== Weapon preferences ==
Ideoligion can have one or several pairs of noble and despised weapons types. Weapon pairs can't be combined if they overlap.

Wielding a noble weapon grants +3 mood while wielding a despised one grants -5.

Killing any pawn{{Check Tag|Verify}} with a noble weapon grants +3 mood for 1 day{{Check Tag|Thought Template|Convert to thought template}} while using a despised one to attack anything - including objects - grants -5 for 2 days.{{Check Tag|Thought Template|Convert to thought template}}

== Apparel preferences ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Missing several details inc but not limited to how it spawns on pawns}}

=== Apparel type combinations ===
Some kinds of [[apparel]] can be set as desired apparel.

=== Mood effects ===

Wearing a desired apparel or a certain color has mood effect on the pawn.

==== Desired apparel ====

Pawns that are wearing all of their desired apparel will gain a small mood bonus of {{+|1}} for a relaxed desire, and {{+|2}} for a strong desire. There is no difference in the mood bonus for having multiple pieces of desired apparel in the ideology, the bonus is only for wearing all of their desired apparel. Unlike role-specific apparel, there is no mood penalty for not wearing desired apparel.

==== Color mood effect ====

Ideoligions have an ideoligion color. Pawns gain a gain a {{+|1}} mood buff if more than 60% of a colonist's apparel is their favorite color or the color of their ideoligion. If their favorite color and their ideoligion's color are the same, they will gain both mood buffs for a total of {{+|2}}. For a full list of valid apparel color options, see the [[Dye]] page.

The color of the ideoligion can be set at generation, while a pawn's favorite color is determined when the pawn is generated.{{Check Tag|Children?|Confirm when children gain a favorite color}} Apparel can be dyed at the [[styling station]] for one [[dye]] per piece of apparel. Note that unlike with preferred apparel, outside of the [[Man in Black]] event, pawns will not necessarily spawn wearing color that matches their ideoligion or preferred colors.

=== Spawning ===

Pawns that have an ideologion with desired apparel may spawn wearing it. The criteria for this are not fully understood, but pawnkinds that do not spawn with apparel that occupies the coverage and layer of the item preferred by the ideoligion appear to always spawn with the item. If the pawnkind does have conflicting apparel that may, or is required to, spawn, then a portion of those pawnkinds will spawn with the apparel. This can lead to knock-on effects, such as some Empire [[Empire#Cataphract|Cataphracts]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} spawning with hats in place of their [[cataphract helmet|helmets]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} making them weaker in combat. Note that this also applies to colonist spawns, including at game start. In any case, it is unknown if this is limited by the apparel value limits imposed on some pawnkinds.

== Xenotype preferences ==
{{Biotech|section=1}}
Believers consider this xenotype to hold a higher moral or spiritual status than others. They will be happy if their colony has only preferred xenotypes. However, having any preferred xenotypes means that any other xenotypes are considered disliked and believers will be unhappy living alongside them.

Up to three [[Xenotypes]] can be selected as preferred xenotypes, including baseliner and a custom xenotype. If at least one is selected then a positive mood will be generated if every colonist is a preferred type, but a negative scaling mood if even one colonist is not a preferred type.

Believers will not accept becoming a non-preferred xenotype via reimplant ability or [[xenogerm]]s. For example, if [[Sanguophage]] is not a preferred type and at least one other preferred type is set, colonists will refuse Sanguophage xenogerm implantation and quests that award Sanguophage xenogerm will be unable to give the reward.

Opinion:
* Preferred xenotype: {{+|10}}
* Disliked xenotype: {{--|30}}

Mood:
* All preferred xenotype: {{+|2}}
* Some disliked xenotypes: {{--|2}}
* Many disliked xenotypes: {{--|3}}
* Tons of disliked xenotypes: {{--|4}}
* I am disliked xenotype<: {{--|6}}

This [[thought]] will only check for the "category" of the pawn's freedom, for example, [[Colonists]] will only check for other colonists xenotype, [[prisoners]] for other prisoners and [[slaves]] for other slaves, and not for example slaves checking for colonists. This means that slaves without a prefered xenotype for an ideology can accept a [[xenogerm]] without upsetting the colonists who do follow this ideology. See more on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_race Wikipedia: Master Race]

While colonists following this ideology may refuse being implanted with a xenogerm (or with [[gene implanter]]), a way to circumnavigate this is to swap ideologies or with the use of '''Fluid Ideologies''', by changing the prefered xenotype to nothing and after implanting the genes swaping it back to normal.

This above is useful because if the prefered xenotype is of the [[Endogene]] kind (heritable), any xenotypes on top of this will be '''overlooked''' in favour of the pawn's original endotype, thus keeping the mood bonus and opinion bonus.

== Venerated animals ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General stub. Also: Check body size requirements. Add Table of options with bodysize and hunger/body size}}
{{Quote|This animal is considered by believers to hold a special spiritual or moral status, which means it must be venerated and may never be harmed.|Description}}
An ideoligion can have up to 18 venerated [[animal]]s.

Colonists will not hunt or attack venerated animals with ranged weapons (but will attack them in melee), unless the animal is in manhunter mood. They will not slaughter tame venerated animals.

Colonists will butcher venerated animals without any issue, but will refuse to eat their [[meat]] or any meal made with it (including meals stacked together), even when starving. They can be manually ordered to eat such food, but will get -8 mood for 5 days. If a colonist that venerates an animal is unconscious, other colonists (of any ideoligion) will not feed them such food, and '''cannot''' be manually ordered to do so. Colonists take no issue using [[leather]], [[wool]], [[milk]], or [[eggs]] of the venerated animal.

Colonists will get -5 mood for 5 days if a tame venerated animal dies for any reason. Releasing tame animals is fine.

Colonists will get a positive thought for the amount of tame venerated animals in the colony, depending on their total body size divided by the total number of colonists: +2 for 1 or more, +3 for 2 or more, +4 for 4 or more, and +5 for 6 or more. In case of multiple venerated animals, all their body sizes are added together, producing a single thought. All colonists are counted for this, but only those of an appropriate ideoligion will get the thought.

Despite being tameable, [[Insectoids]] cannot be selected as a venerated animal.

Venerated animals are twice as easy to tame.

== Hair and tattoos ==
An ideoligion has associated hairstyles, beards, and tattoos. Specific hairstyles and tattoos may be allowed for men, women, or either. Some of those may be more or less common.

Newly spawned pawns of an ideoligion will always have matching appearance.

If pawn's hairstyle, beard, or tattoo do not match what their ideoligion allows (usually as a result of a conversion), they will try to use [[styling station]] on their free time to automatically change their looks, and will have a {{--|2}} mood penalty{{Check Tag|Thought Template}} until they do so. They can also be sent to adjust their appearance manually.

'''Remote shielders''' are [[artificial body parts]] and upgrades to a [[mechanitor]]s [[Mechlink]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]]{{BiotechIcon}} that allow a mechanitor to remotely create a shield around their [[mechanoids]].

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
{{Image wanted|section=1|reason=AoE in [[:Category:Images - Graphics|standard style]], ideally with a graphical reprsentation of the three different ranges at which the mechanitor can stand from the target mech. also check of for shield weirdness - e.g. the gold tiles and why they exist on the [[low shield pack]]'s equivalent}}
[[File:RW1.5_mech_remote_shield_icon.png|left|100px]]{{Quote|''Remotely project a personal defense shield onto a mech. The shield stops incoming damage, but also prevents shooting out, so this can be useful even when cast on enemies. The mechanitor must continuously focus on the mech in order to maintain the shield.''|"Remote Shield" ability description}}

Having at least 1 remote shielder installed gives access to the ''Remote Shield'' ability which can be cast on any [[mechanoid]] within range and line of sight, the mech moving out of line of sight will cancel the shield. The mechanoid does not need to be linked to the user and can '''even be hostile'''. Note that hostile mechs will continue attempting to fire their weapons from within the shield, damaging the shield in the process.

Using the shield has no warmup time (1 [[tick]]) and no direct resource cost other than your mechanitor's full attention. The shield lasts for ~30 seconds or until broken or distracted. Instructing the mechanitor to take any action will cancel the shield immediately - this includes, but is not limited to, moving, attacking, undrafting, and using other abilities such as [[psycasts]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}. Downing or killing the mechanitor cancels the shield while injuries to the mechanitor do not. When the shield is broken, expires, or is cancelled, the effect ends and a {{Ticks|300}} cooldown is imposed, which starts as soon as mechanitor stops projecting the shield. The termination of the shield has no other effect on the mechanoid or mechanitor, regardless of the cause.

Remote shielders have a [[max install count]] of three, meaning up to 3 remote shielders can be installed in each mechanitor's brain. Each installed shielder increases [[Mech Remote Shield Distance |range]] at which the target can be shielded and the [[Mech Remote Shield Energy|energy]] of the shield as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Num. Shielders !! Shield range (Tiles) !! Shield energy i.e. Damage capacity
|-
! 1
| 7.9 || 75
|-
! 2
| 13.9 || 150
|-
! 3
| 19.9 || 225
|}

Upon casting, a 3x3 shield surrounds the targeted mechanoid, following it as the mechanoid moves. The shield will break if the mechanoid moves outside the remote shielder's range. The shield stops all incoming and outgoing ground-level fire from passing through the bubble, including fire from the target mechanoid, and detonates explosive projectiles at the point of impact with the shield radius. Fire from [[mortar]]s, [[orbital bombardment targeter|orbital bombardment]], or [[Titles#Permits|aerodrone strikes or salvos]] will not be blocked by the shield, nor will explosions crossing the shielded boundary including those from intercepted projectiles (such as [[Grenades]] and [[Doomsday rocket launcher]]).

The shield can absorb damage equal to its shield energy before breaking. The shield recharges energy extremely slowly at a rate of roughly 0.2 energy/second which is not interrupted by damage and does not scale with the number of installed implants. If an attack would is sufficient to completely deplete the shield's charge, then the shield is broken and any damage remaining is negated.

EMPing the shielded mech directly immediately disables the shield however EMP explosions that merely overlap with the shield's radius do not effect it. The shield does not protect the mech from EMP. EMP projectiles that are intercepted by the shield but do not EMP the mech (such as an EMP launcher hitting the corner of the shield) disable the shield but do not impact the mech. EMPing the Mechanitor has no effect on the shield.

=== Installation ===
Unlike most medical implants, the remote shielder is not installed via an [[operation]] and instead can be painlessly self-installed by a conscious mechanitor in about 2 seconds. Simply right click on the item on the ground and click "Implant remote shielder" or "Upgrade remote shielder to level X" if one has already been installed.

A max of 3 can be installed on any one mechanitor and they cannot be uninstalled. If the mechanitor dies by any means and is resurrected all upgrades will be preserved, but if the mechlink is extracted to be installed in another pawn, all upgrades to the mechlink will be lost.

== Analysis ==
Similar to the [[Remote repairer]], the Remote shielder can be used on high value mechs on the frontlines to increase their survivability, or even used to save a mech if it's about to die and let it make an escape. Its best used on ultraheavy mechs like [[War queen]]'s, where ressurecting them is very time and steel intensive. Alternatively it can be used on melee mechs with zero drawbacks, [[scyther]]s particularly benefit from that. Alternatively with some micro one could save some resources on an otherwise disposable mech, by shielding it and giving it a breathing room for it to escape/draw aggro.

Alternatively, it can be used offensively to deny problematic enemy projectiles, for example weapons from [[Centipede Burner]] and [[Diabolus]], or to prevent enemy fire to allow focus on other enemies, this effectively trades a enemy mech for the mechanitors attention/pawn firepower. Concerning the Diabolus weapon, it will '''Self Implode''' if it fires while shielded, heavely damaging the diabolus and all around it.

== Version history ==
* [[Biotech DLC]] Release - Added.

An '''apocriton''' (pronounced ''apoc-crit-on'')<ref>[https://youtu.be/SaqYff8kEs8 Tynan Sylvester Interview, Hot Potato 2022]</ref> is a [[mechanoids|mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]]. It drops the [[nano structuring chip]].

== Occurrence ==
One or more apocritons can spawn in mechanoid raids when sufficient [[raid point]]s are available for them, however they are also involved in the [[mechanitor]] progression and can be specifically summoned by the player.

Summoning a hostile Apocriton requires a [[mechanitor]] and a [[mechband dish]], destroying the dish in the process. Constructing a mechband dish requires the [[Research#{{Q|Mechband dish|Required Research}}|{{Q|Mechband dish|Required Research}}]] research.

When summoned, it will be accompanied by other mechanoids. The amount of other mechanoids depends on how many times you have summoned an apocriton before, and is independent of wealth, time, or colony progress. Eventually, you'll have to face multiple mechanoid commanders at the same time. They will crash down in a ship after a random amount of time ranging from a few in game hours to days. They will not attack immediately, but will instead act like a raid and "prepare" before launching their assault. The maximum size is reached after summoning the apocriton 8 times.

Like the other mechanoid bosses, beyond wave 8, each new waves is chosen randomly from wave 3 to 8. The selection isn't purely random: it is determined by the world seed and the number of summons made prior. As such, the sequence of waves after wave 8 will be the same for a given seed. The wave count is per playthrough, not per colony or map. If the apocriton is summoned for the first time on one map, summoning another on a second map will bring the second wave. However, resetting your colony through the [[Endings#The Archonexus|archonexus]] chain of quests will reset the wave count.

== Summary ==
The apocriton is an ultra-heavy class mechanoid. {{Mechanoid Summary}} It has 80% [[EMP]] resistance, so EMP attacks stun it for 80% less time.

The aprocriton is immune to [[psychic lance]]s. In addition, the [[skip]], [[chaos skip]], [[berserk]], and [[berserk pulse]] [[psycast]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} do not function against the apocriton due to "Psychic Resistance". Like most other mechanoids, the apocriton has 50% [[Psychic Sensitivity]].

Dead apocritons may be shredded at the [[machining table]] or [[crafting spot]] for {{Icon Small|Steel||15}} [[steel]]. However, these values are affected by [[Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency|mechanoid shredding efficiency]], as well as missing parts on the apocriton.

Along with [[termite]]s, apocritons are the only mechanoids that can't be [[Mechanitor#Acquisition|gestated]] by your colony.

=== Combat ===
Apocritons are always equipped with a [[toxic needle gun]], which they do not drop upon death. See the [[toxic needle gun]] page for further information.

Apocritons have a [[shooting accuracy]] of 96%, equivalent to a pawn with a [[Shooting]] skill of 8. They have a [[melee hit chance]] of 62%, equivalent to a pawn with a [[Melee]] skill of 4.

When summoned, apocritons will spawn with a [[heavy shield unit]], which has a strength of 400 HP - equal to 133 HP of actual damage. Note that it recharges x10 slower than a normal [[shield belt]]. It is currently unknown whether apocritons that spawn as part of regular raids can spawn with the shield.{{Check Tag|Detail needed}}

</li><div>

=== Resurrection ===
Apocritons can resurrect any hostile mechanoid within a 9.9 tile radius, that has been dead for less than {{ticks|3600}}, even if it was resurrected before. This ability will affect a targeted mechanoid, along with other mechs in a 5-tile radius. When resurrected, the mechanoid will come back to life with all their limbs restored. The remaining injuries will be healed by half of their total damage value, applied equally to all of them (even if the healing would be wasted).

An apocriton starts with 30 "charges" to use this ability when spawned. Resurrecting a Light class mech costs 1 charge, resurrecting a Medium class mech costs 3 charge, and resurrecting a Heavy class mech costs 5 charge. Ultra-heavy class mechs, including other apocritons, cannot be resurrected.

There is a short {{ticks|240}} warmup before the mech arises. There is a {{ticks|120}} cooldown after each resurrection before the ability can be used again. This ability does not require [[line of sight]], meaning it can resurrect mechs behind walls.

== Diaboli AI ==
Unlike in the "Summon Diabolus Threat", where the [[Diabolus|Diaboli]] may act as a [[Raider#Breachers|Breacher]] raid, they seem to follow the apocriton as a "normal raid", unwilling to fire their [[Hellsphere_cannon|hellsphere cannon]] at colony walls. They will still fire it when provoked.

=== Jump ===
Apocritons are also capable of leaping to any tile within a 9.9 tile radius, outside a 5.9 tile radius, and within [[line of sight]]. Therefore, it can jump over [[stone chunk]]s and [[fence]]s, but not [[wall]]s. There is a short {{ticks|30}} warm-up before jumping. It cannot be hurt mid-jump, even by explosions directly under it, but can still get hit during a short warm-up before jumping. There is a {{ticks|480}} cooldown after each jump.

Apocritons will jump when confronted by a melee enemy.

=== Psychic drone ===
Apocritons inflict a negative thought on all pawns on the whole map, regardless of faction. The strength of this effect depends on distance and psychic sensitivity.

If the distance is 5 tiles or shorter, the pawn receives a {{--|16}} mood debuff, if between 5 and 12 tiles, the pawn receives a {{--|10}} mood debuff, and further than 12 tiles, the pawn receives a {{--|4}} mood debuff. This is then scaled by [[Psychic Sensitivity]], much like the [[psychic drone]] event. This debuff does not stack if there are multiple apocritons on the map.

=== Defeat ===
When an apocriton is defeated, it will emit a stun pulse on death. This stuns all mechanoids and turrets for {{ticks|1200}}, regardless of EMP resistance. Unlike regular EMP attacks, this will trigger [[brain shock]] or vomiting with
[[Sterilizing stomach|EMP-vulnerable]] [[nuclear stomach|stomach]] [[reprocessor stomach|implants]].{{RoyaltyIcon}}

Defeating a hostile apocriton will drop a [[nano structuring chip]]. This chip can be studied in order to research [[Research#Ultra mechtech|Ultra Mechtech]] and [[Research#Wastepack atomizer|Wastepack Atomizer]], and can be used in a variety of crafting recipes.

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|reason=At what (gear / colonist count / mech count) level would a player be prepared to fight an apocriton?}}
Apocritons are the most durable mechanoid in the game. They have armor second only to the [[tunneler]] and share the highest health scale with the [[war queen]], but they couple this with a [[body size]] of 1, making them up to 50% less likely to be hit by ranged attacks than those mechs. In addition, all summoned apocritons come with a [[heavy shield unit]]. Unlike the war queen, the apocriton prefers long range combat, and will jump out of melee range. With a range of 44.9 tiles, the apocriton's toxic needle gun outranges all weapons except the [[needle gun]], the [[sniper rifle]], and the [[uranium slug turret]].

In combat, the apocriton prefers to fight at long range. Apocritons will use their mechanoid revival ability as frequently as possible, so long as they have charges remaining. The apocriton will often attempt to jump behind nearby walls or retreat to longer range before activating its revival ability. If no dead mechanoids are nearby, or if the apocriton is out of charges, it will behave very similarly to a pikeman, staying at long range to snipe at pawns. If you are unable to take it down quickly, prioritize on killing weaker mechanoids such as the [[militor]]s so the apocriton wastes its ability.

Given its high health and armor, weapons with high armor penetration such as the charge rifle are preferred. EMP will instantly destroy the apocriton's shield if hit, and stun the mechanoid for a very brief period. Hitting the apocriton with an EMP will disrupt its ability to resurrect other mechanoids. Apocritons rarely enter the range of [[EMP grenades]] unless forced to by terrain or structures, but an [[EMP launcher]], with its superior range, can more easily be used to stun the mechanoid.

Using melee to engage apocritons is difficult, as the apocriton will simply jump away if enemies get too close. Using the [[skip]] psycast, a [[jump pack]], or longjump legs to close the distance can be effective to catch the apocriton. Apocritons are extremely poor melee adversaries, with attacks that deal very low damage. However, their high health and strong armor gives them a significant advantage in being able to simply outlast their opponent. You can take advantage of the apocriton's willingness to jump - if it's jumping, it isn't shooting or reviving.

Apocriton's resurrection ability has two features: 1) it can resurrect mechanoids even if they are behind a wall, 2) after resurrection, the immunity of mechanoids to EMP disappears. If you manage to separate a group of 2-3 scythers or militors, then you can throw EMP grenades and kill them until apocriton runs out of resurrection charges. After that, it is more profitable to destroy the accompanying mechanoids, because apocriton itself is not capable of causing significant damage

When killed, apocritons release a large area-of-effect stun with a range of approximately 25-30 tiles. Colonists will be unaffected, however all mechanoids - player or enemy - will be stunned, turrets are unaffected. This effect is less beneficial if the player relies on mechanoids. The stun will not affect mechanoids that stay behind a wall at the time the wave is released.

An '''auto mortar''' is a hostile [[building]] that appears in [[mech cluster]]s and autonomously launches explosives similar to a manned [[mortar]].

While this is a [[Core]] building, it can only naturally spawn with [[Royalty]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} enabled (due to the mech cluster requirement).

== Occurrence ==
Auto mortars only spawn in mech clusters. Like the [[condition causer]]s, it counts as a cluster's problem causer, of which each can cluster can only have one. It generates four times more often than the other problem causers, but only costs the cluster 220 combat points rather than 750, so the cluster will have more other threats.

They cannot be claimed by the player, and must be destroyed for the cluster to be considered defeated.

== Summary ==
The auto mortar fires shells equivalent to [[high explosive shell]]s every 120s (7,200 [[ticks]]), which explode as normal to deal 50 [[Damage type#Bomb|Bomb]] damage in a 2.9-tile radius but do not require restocking or reloading. Like normal [[mortar]]s, it has a forced miss radius of 10 tiles, and if you [[roof]] over it, it can't fire. Note that unlike normal mortars, its forced miss radius does not increase to 13 if the [[Classic mortars]] storyteller option is enabled. Valid targets are colonists, buildings and, unlike [[siege]] [[mortar]]s, tamed trainable animals. They do not target non-trainable animals.

Their targeting prioritizes buildings and trainable animals with the same level of priority, while humans get a 4x priority. Basically, if you have a colony of 1 pawn and 4 walls, your pawn would be targeted 50% of the time.

Like all turrets, they are temporarily disabled by sources of [[EMP]], with downtime scaling to the EMP damage dealt. Unlike mechanoids, auto mortars do not adapt to EMP and thus can be continuously restunned.

[[File:Turret medium blast.png|thumb|Explosion blast area (orange cells) of the auto mortar (white cells)]]
If it is damaged beyond 20% HP (52 HP) it may explode but it is not a certainty. The mortar will spark and emit a hissing sound shortly before exploding {{ticks|240}} later. The explosion deals 50 [[Damage Type#Bomb|Bomb]] damage in a 4.9 tile radius centered around the mortar's bottom left cell.

They are a source of the [[reinforced barrel]]s needed to construct mortars. Reinforced barrels will not spawn if the [[Classic mortars]] storyteller option is enabled.

Like all mech cluster buildings, they not only have a [[Flammability]] of 0%, but also take no damage from attacks with the [[Damage Types|Flame]] damage type. This is in contrast to, for example, a [[stone]] [[wall]] which will not be ignited by [[molotov cocktails]] but will take the 10 flame damage from the initial attack.

Auto mortars must be destroyed for the mech cluster to be defeated.

Unlike mortars built by the player auto mortars can fire in the orbit layer.

== Analysis ==
Auto mortars are like a [[siege]] which lasts until the building is completely destroyed. Even a few rounds can blow up your supplies, production facilities, and walls, making it an extremely high priority threat even for mountain bases (by destroying outdoor power sources). Like other condition causers, it can start immediately active or remain dormant for a few days. Waking up a mech cluster will not cause the auto mortar to immediately start firing.

If the mech cluster doesn't have a [[proximity activator]], then you may be able to roof over the auto mortar. You can use the cluster's own walls, or place a wall or column 3 tiles away from any mech or mech building - this is far enough to not trigger the cluster. The action of placing roof will not aggravate the mechs, either. Unless the wall is destroyed, you'll be safe from the auto mortar.

== Strategy ==
Because of their devastative force if left unattended, strategies revolve around being able to rush them down without putting your colonists through the mech cluster's sight:

# '''Counter Bombardment''': Easily the safest. If your colony has access to mortars and the mech cluster is not prottected by a [[Mech high-shield]], you can hope to immediatelly take out the mortar, plus some damage to other mechanoid structures.
# '''Sight-Blocking''': Since mech clusters spawn dormant, this gives you the chance to build near the cluster. Get a builder with a [[Weapons#Ranged_weapons|ranged weapon]], or preferably [[frag grenades]], and build a 1x1 room (3 walls, 1 door) out of some cheap materials (wood/steel) at least 3 blocks away from the auto-mortar (due to a sudden case of explosion), ensuring that while opening and closing the door (to break targeting to the pawn), the builder has line of sight with the auto-mortar, while also covering with the wall from possible mechanoid attacks. '''NOTE''': When the auto-mortar reaches <50% health the mobile mechanoid will assault the colony.

== Version history ==

Injury

{{About|physical damage|chronic health conditions|Ailments|treatable illnesses|Disease}}

{{imagemargin|[[File:injury_preview_anim.gif|right]]|10px}}'''Injuries''' are physical damage to a living being. [[Human]]oids, [[animal]]s, and [[mechanoid]]s can sustain injuries from many sources, which each have their own [[Damage Types|Damage Type]].
{{TOCright}}

== Injury types ==
{{main|Health Difficulties}}
Different weapons cause different types of injuries. For example, a [[mace]] will crush, a [[longsword]] will cut, and [[fire]] will burn. The type of injury impacts the amount of [[pain]] it causes, the rate of bleeding, and the chance of [[infection]].

== Summary ==
Injuries reduce a body part's health, its efficiency, and causes pain to the pawn.

=== Damage ===
Every body part has a health value, which is lowered every time it takes damage. When it reaches 0, the part is completely destroyed.

Any damage will lower a body part's efficiency, proportional to its health remaining. For example, if an arm has 15/30 health, then that arm performs 50% worse. As each arm is responsible for 50% [[Manipulation]], this results in the pawn having -25% Manipulation until the injury is healed. Some parts, like the torso, are not responsible for any pawn [[stat]], but still take damage and cause pain.

Some damage can be permanent. See [[#Scarring|Scarring]] for more details.
===Pain===
{{Main|Pain}}
The greater the damage, the greater the [[pain]]. Pain is equal to <code>pain = (damage) * [[Health Difficulties|damage_type_factor]]</code>. Most injuries have a damage type factor of 1.25, or 1.25% pain per 1 HP damage. This is then scaled for the pawn's health, so a [[thrumbo]] feels less pain than a human for the same damage attack.

Pain reduces [[Consciousness]] directly, which reduces most pawn capabilities. It also gives a rapidly increasing [[mood]] penalty, unless the pawn is a [[masochist]] or follows an [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} with the [[Ideoligion#Pain|Pain: Idealized]] precept.

Excessive pain causes [[pain shock]], the most common way to [[downed|down]] pawns in combat, which prevents them from fighting. Most pawns have a [[Pain Shock Threshold]] of 80%. Note that enemies have a chance to immediately die when downed from pain shock, but not from other means, like [[blood loss]] or [[heat stroke]].

[[Mechanoid]]s are machines, and are immune to pain. In humans, pain can be completely eliminated with a [[painstopper]], or reduced for a short time with [[go-juice]] or the [[Painblock]] psycast{{RoyaltyIcon}}.

=== Bleeding ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=How is blood loss rate calculated from damage?}}
Bleeding is a common occurrence from certain damage types. While an injury is bleeding, pawns will gain [[blood loss]], scaling with the wound and amount of wounds. Total blood loss is listed under whole body, with a tooltip showing the percent and time until death. If blood loss reaches 100%, the pawn will die. Bleeding pawns will also leave [[Filth#Blood|blood]] on the ground, making the area [[cleanliness|dirty]].

Bleeding always stops immediately with tending, regardless of the tend quality or medicine used. Higher quality medicine can cover more wounds at once, which can stop a pawn from bleeding out faster. Injuries will also heal on their own, though a lost limb will always continue to bleed until tended to.

The [[coagulator]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} implant halves the rate of blood loss, while the [[Superclotting]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} rapidly tends bleeding wounds. A human carrying the [[Coagulate]] gene{{BiotechIcon}} or [[unnatural healing]]{{AnomalyIcon}} ability can also immediately tend all bleeding wounds.

Amount of bleeding equal to <code>Bleeding = damage * body_size_factor</code>%. Body_size_factor for humans shown in the graph below:

{| class="wikitable"
! Dependence of bleeding factor on damage for humans
|-
| {{Graph:Chart
| width = 300
| height = 300
| type = line
| xAxisTitle = Body size
| yAxisTitle = Bleeding factor
| x = 0.2, 0.35, 0.58, 0.8, 1.0
| y = 30, 12, 8.5, 6.6, 6
| yAxisFormat = 1
| xGrid = 0.1
| yGrid = 2
}}
|}

For animals, althrough, these factors may differ, but usually not much. For example, [[rat]] with bodysize 0.2 has body_size_factor approximately equal to 20, which is 67% of human's baby with the same size. Between animals this factor also may differ, for example [[thrumbo]] has this factor near 2 times lower, than [[megasloth]].

Also there are some additional factors. Damaged heart bleeds x5 times more and neck x4 times more than other limbs. Also, if part of body is completely lost, then damage for bleeding calculation equals max hp of bodypart x2.

== Related ==
=== Infection ===
{{Main|Infection#Mechanics}}
[[Infection]]s can occur whenever a pawn is hurt by a bite, burn, frostbite, or any damage type that causes bleeding. A completely destroyed body part cannot become infected. Once a pawn recieves these injuries, the game starts a random timer between {{ticks|15000}} to {{ticks|45000}}, per injury before checking for infection. The chance of infection depends on:
* Damage type. Bite, burn or frostbite wounds have a 25% chance, other bleeding wounds have a 10% to infect.
* Tend quality. The multiplier is 85% at 0% tend quality, linearly decreasing to 5% at 100% tend quality.
* Location. The higher the [[Cleanliness]], the lower the chance for infection (50% at 0 Cleanliness).

[[Animal]]s are 20% as likely to receive an infection. [[Mechanoid]]s can't get diseases.

=== Scarring ===
Scars are lasting markers of injuries. When an injury scars, it ''permanently'' lowers the health of the scarred body part, reducing its efficiency. A scar may also cause pain.

==== Scarification (Ritual) ====
[[Ideoligion|Ideology's]] [[Ideoligion#Memes|Meme]] called [[Ideoligion#Pain_is_virtue|Pain is virtue]] enables scarring via this [[Ritual|ritual]], offering a reliable way of attaining them without risk for combat. Halfway through the ritual, the target will get a random scar of 0.5hp in any of the following [[Body_Parts|Body Parts]]: Torso (~20%), Left Eye (~12.5%), Right Eye (~12.5%), Left Arm (~12.5%), Right Arm (~12.5%), Left Leg (~10%), Right Leg (~10%), Nose (~8%), Head (~2%). This scar will '''NOT''' affect the body part's efficiency, though will still reduce effective Hitpoints by 0.5
Additionally, the scar will always cause a set amount of pain, being +4% pain (itchy) or +11% pain (aching), with a 75% and 25% chance of occurring, respectively.

* Since [[Consciousness|consciousness]] is only affected when [[Pain]] is ±15%, this means you can have 1 scar while avoiding this debuff on your [[Colonist|pawns]], though this will still reduce your effective Pain threshold by -4%/-11% when sustaining injuries from combat.
* For [[Ideoligions]] with the precept “Scarification: Minor”, this will permanently improve mood by 4 to any [[Traits#Wimp|non-wimp]], [[Traits#Masochist|non-masochist pawn]], allowing up to +8 mood when in intense pain, for a relatively ''low'' cost.

Note: This ritual will '''NOT''' work/appear if the ideology has no rank for the [[Roles#Moral_guide|moral guide]].

==== Efficiency loss ====
Efficiency is merely the fraction of the HP remaining in a body part. For example, an arm normally has 30 HP. If a scar causes the arm to have only 25 HP, the arm's efficiency will be 25/30 = ~83% efficiency (with rounding errors in RimWorld's displayed numbers).

==== Pain ====
When a scar is created, it is randomly assigned a pain category: Painless 50%, Low Pain 20%, Medium Pain 20%, High Pain 10%. The scar will be called "painful" in the High pain category, "aching" in the Medium pain category, and "itchy" in the Low pain category. Pain causes a [[Mood]] malus in non-Masochistic pawns.

==== Pre-existing scars ====
In addition to injury, pawns may start with scars on them. When you hover your mouse over such a scar, there will be no "cause" of the scar in the tooltip.

==== Scarring mechanics in depth ====
Scars are randomly created at the moment of injury. They are revealed after the wound heals to the scarred HP. The odds of scarring are a function of the number of HP lost from the injury, and whether the body part is "delicate". Eyes are delicate and more likely to scar. Brain damage will always scar. Bruises will never cause a scar. [[Artificial body part]]s never scar. Bone cracks will very rarely cause a scar (a "permanent crack").

Taking an additional blow to a highly injured body part does '''not''' increase the odds of scarring. Scars are rolled merely as a function of HP lost by a particular injury.

Injuries causing less than 5 HP of damage have 0% chance of scarring. Injuries causing 5 HP or more damage linearly scale up the odds of scarring, capping at 14 HP or more damage with 2% chance of scarring. The formula for a non-delicate body part:
odds_of_scarring = 2% * clamp( (hp_lost-4)/10, 0, 1)

Odds that a new injury becomes a permanent scar (non‑delicate parts):
{| class="wikitable"
! Lost HP !! Odds of scarring
|-
| < 5 HP || 0%
|-
| 5 HP || 0.2%
|-
| 8 HP || 0.8%
|-
| 12 HP || 1.6%
|-
| 14 HP || 2.0% (cap reached)
|-
| 50 HP || 2.0% (capped)
|}

The severity of the scar is a value between 1 and half of the damage of the injury. If the injury was -10 HP, the worst possible scar would be -5 HP.

For example, if an arm is reduced to 6/30 HP by a -24 HP gun shot:
* It will have a 2% chance of scarring (exceeding the cap of -14 HP of damage).
* If the injury rolls a scar, the scar will have a severity between 1 HP and 12 HP (half of the -24 HP from the shot).
* If the scar rolls 7 HP severity, it will be revealed when the arm heals to 23 HP.
* The scar will also roll a pain category: Painless 50%, Low 20%, Medium 20%, High 10%.

If a body part receives multiple injuries, a scar is independently rolled for each injury.

There are many myths surrounding scars. Examples of things that '''do not''' affect the odds of scars forming:
* Quickly tending a wound.
* Tending a wound with Glitterworld medicine.
* Resting in a Legendary hospital bed in a clean room.
None of these will help. A scar is created at the moment of injury. Once a scar has been rolled, tending or rest will not stop the scar from eventually being revealed.

==== Reducing the odds of scarring ====
If a body part can't be made bionic, and if a pawn doesn't have the Scarless gene, your only option is maximizing armor strength and coverage with [[Apparel]], and to use a skin hardening implant like a [[Stoneskin gland]]. The less HP that is lost from each injury, the less the chance of scarring. <5 HP lost will have no chance of scarring on non-delicate body parts.

==== Healing scars ====
Your options to heal a scar in a human:
* If the part has a [[bionic]] counterpart, or if it can be extracted from a donor, you can simply replace the scarred part.
* [[Luciferium]] and the [[Scarless]] [[gene]]{{BiotechIcon}} heal 1 scar every 15-30 days.
* A [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}} can remove scars with [[Biosculpter_pod#Bioregeneration|Bioregeneration]], which costs {{Icon Small|glitterworld medicine}} 2 [[glitterworld medicine]] and takes time to complete.
* A [[Creepjoiner]]{{AnomalyIcon}} with the [[File:UnnaturalHealing.png|16px]]Unnatural healing ability can heal scars.
* A [[healer mech serum]] can heal scars.
* The [[Chronophagy]]{{AnomalyIcon}} ritual will cure 1-2 scars on the ritual's initiator. This comes at the cost of 20 [[bioferrite]], and inflicting psychic brain scarring, increased age and potentially immediate [[Events/Incidental#Birthday|birthday]] [[Ailments#Chronic|surprises]] on the victim.

Your options to heal a scar in an animal:
* A [[healer mech serum]] is an effective, if rare, option.
* [[Creepjoiner]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} with the [[File:UnnaturalHealing.png|16px]] Unnatural healing ability. Unlike when used on human, it will never trigger a [[flesh tentacle]] mutation.
* [[Luciferium]] can be administered, but you'll have to either forevermore micro the animal's treatment, or trust the animal to eat future doses when needed and to not snack on Luciferium too frequently.

=== Trauma savant ===
{{Main|Trauma savant}}
[[File:Trauma savant.png|400px|thumb|right|Being shot in the brain can cause the trauma savant condition.]]
If a pawn receives physical damage to the brain, they have a 2 to 12% chance of receiving trauma savant, depending on part damage taken. 12% change is a maximum value for 10 damage, but since brain only has 10 hit points, it will be instantly destroyed, so the actual maximum change of receiving the condition is a little higher than 10% for 9 points of brain damage. This [[ailment]] causes the following effects:

* A {{Bad|x0%}} multiplier to [[Talking]] and [[Hearing]], making the pawn unable to socialize.
* {{Good|+50%}} to [[Manipulation]], increasing effectiveness in many tasks.
* Brain scarring no longer has any impact on brain functionality.

Trauma savant can be cured with a [[healer mech serum]]. However, healer mech serum will always cure scars before trauma savant. As this ailment always occurs with a brain scar, you'll need multiple serums, or a serum with another way of curing scars (such as luciferium).

It can also be cured with a [[resurrector mech serum]]. If a pawn dies, and their [[corpse]] doesn't have a head or brain, then using a resurrector serum will restore usual brain function. With the [[Ideology DLC]], you can use the 'extract skull' option to always remove a human corpse's head. In Core RimWorld, you can eat the corpse, though this risks eating the entire corpse. [[Subcore ripscanner]]s {{BiotechIcon}} can offer an easy method of frying a brain as well.

== Healing ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Verification via C#, [[Preach health]], [[Healing enhancer]], with full math equation showing how the factors stack (both the different stats, which are likely multiplicative with each other, and the individual changes to those stats.}}
Injured colonists will recover from their wounds over time. [[Doctoring|Tending]] to a wound and resting in bed speeds up recovery.

=== Healing Rate ===
A pawn's heal rate is the amount of damage the pawn can heal from non-permanent wounds in one day, given in hit points. Every {{ticks|600}}, '''''heal rate'' × 0.01''' points of damage are healed from a randomly selected (non-permanent) wound. This healing reduces the severity of the injury, until the body part is fully recovered. In the event that a pawn has more than one wound, the selection of which wound heals first is random.

The exact heal rate is determined by first adding together the following bonuses to HP gain:

* '''Default healing rate:''' All pawns have a base heal rate of {{Good|8}} HP per day. This seems to be multiplied by the health scale of the pawn; so a [[caribou]] (health scale 200%) will have a base heal rate of {{Good|16}} HP per day.
* '''[[Healing enhancer]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}:''' Adds {{Good|+4}} HP per day.
* '''If the pawn is lying down or in a bed:'''
** {{+|4}} HP per day for resting on a [[sleeping spot]] or the ground
** {{+|8}} HP per day for resting on a [[bed]] / [[double bed]] / [[bedroll]] / [[double bedroll]]
** {{+|14}} HP per day for resting on a [[hospital bed]].
It does not matter if the bed is marked for Medical use or not, the bonuses it provides are the same.
* '''If the wound is tended:''' {{+|4}} for 0% [[tend quality]] and {{+|0.08}} per percentage of quality, up to {{+|12}} at 100% tend quality.

Next, multiply the HP gain by the pawn's [[Injury Healing Factor]] to get the total healing rate. Injury Healing Factor is determined by:

'''Offsets'''

Offsets are added before factors.
* [[Hediffs]]
** {{IdeologyIcon}}[[Hediffs#Preach health|Preach health]]<Ref>Applied by the [[Preach health]] ability available to the [[Moral guide]] [[Role]]</Ref>: {{+|25%}}
<References />

'''Factors'''

* [[Hediffs]]
** {{AnomalyIcon}}[[Hediffs#Juggernaut serum|Juggernaut serum]]: {{Good|×200%}}

* [[Genes]]{{BiotechIcon}}
** [[Slow wound healing]]: {{Bad|×50%}}
** [[Fast wound healing]]: {{Good|×200%}}
** [[Superfast wound healing]]: {{Good|×400%}}

* [[Injury Healing Factor|Injury Healing Factor Stat Parts]]
** {{BiotechIcon}}[[Hediffs#Deathresting|Deathresting]]: {{Good|x500%}}

Because the effects of Injury Healing Factor on Healing rate are multiplicative, it is possible to achieve a maximum Injury Healing Factor of 5000% when Preach Health, Juggernaut Serum, and Superfast Wound Healing are stacked while actively Deathresting. This allows a pawn to heal as much as 38 * 5000% = 1900 hit points of regeneration per day.

=== Example ===
To put this in perspective, consider a colonist who has taken 20hp of damage to various body parts, given different recovery scenarios:
* '''Do nothing''': With no tending or rest, they get the base heal rate of '''8''', so it will take (20 × 60,000) / 8 = 150,000 ticks (2.5 in-game days) to fully heal.
* '''Basic tend and resting''': With a 40% tend quality ('''+7.2''') and rest in a non-hospital bed ('''+8'''), they'll have a heal rate of 8 + 7.2 + 8 = '''23.2''', so it will take 51,724 ticks to heal (approximately 21 in-game hours)
* '''Best quality care''': With 100% tend quality ('''+12''') and rest in a hospital bed ('''+14'''), they'll have a heal rate of 8 + 12 + 14 = '''34''', so it will take 35,294 ticks to heal (approximately 14 hours in game)
* '''Best quality care with [[Healing enhancer]] [[Genes|Superfast Wound Healing]], [[Serums]], and [[Preach health|Preach Health]]''': With a Healing enhancer ('''+4''') 100% tend quality ('''+12''') and rest in a hospital bed ('''+14'''), they'll have a heal rate of (8 + 4 + 12 + 14) * ((100% + 25%) * 200% * 400%) = '''380''', so it will take 3,157 ticks to heal (approximately 1.5 hours in game)

== Medicine ==
Medicine does not ''directly'' cause healing, but it increases the average [[tend quality]]. When a wound is tended, the quality is in part determined by the medicine given:
{| {{#if:{{{1|}}}|{{{1|}}}|class="wikitable"}}
|-
! Medicine !! Potency !! Maximum Tend Quality
|-
| [[File:Doctor care but no medicine.png|16px]] None || 0.30 || 70%
|-
| {{Icon Small|Herbal medicine}} [[Herbal medicine]] || 0.60 || 70%
|-
| {{Icon Small|Medicine}} [[Medicine]] || 1.00 || 100%
|-
| {{Icon Small|Glitterworld medicine}} [[Glitterworld medicine]] || 1.60 || 130%
|}
Each type of medicine has a cap on its tend quality, improving the type available improves outcomes if all other factors are equal. Even so, better medicines are often precious to hold onto and the effectiveness of herbal medicine in a regular [[bed]] reaching its 70% maximum can (mostly) suffice.

While bleeding wounds can be stopped by any quality of treatment, herbal or better medicines can treat multiple small wounds in a single "batch" of tending. For patients with many bleeding wounds where the best treatment is usually "as much as soon as possible", the difference can easily be life or death.

Medicine is also useful for treating [[disease]], where tend quality is more impactful, and performing [[surgery]], which is boosted greatly by medicine.

== Disfigured ==
[[File:Disfigured.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Damage to the nose caused Hairy to become disfigured]]
Disfigurement is caused by damage or destruction to any beauty related part. These include the nose, eyes, ears, jaw, and, since version [[Version/1.3.3101]], tongue. Destruction of the parent of any of the previously mentioned parts also cause this malus (ex: a missing jaw also counts as missing a tongue). It adds the "'''Disfigured {{--|15}}'''" [[opinion]] modifier. Disfigurement can be treated by healing/replacing the injured/destroyed body part. Since [[Version/1.5.4062]], replacing the parent part also removes this opinion penalty (ex: [[Denture]]s and [[Bionic jaw]]s prevents the penalty from a missing tongue).

While disfigurement does not have a direct impact on a pawn's [[Beauty (Pawn)|beauty]], it does disable the positive opinion for positive beauty, while stacking with negative beauty.

Even while Disfigured, the opinion modifier won't apply to pawns that are either:
* Blind
* [[Kind]]
* [[Inhumanized]]{{AnomalyIcon}}
* Belongs to an ideoligion{{IdeologyIcon}} with the [[Scarification]] precept AND the affected part is a scarification.
* Belongs to an ideoligion{{IdeologyIcon}} with the [[Blindsight]] meme AND the affected part is an eye.

== Trivia ==
Brain injuries in Rimworld cause large amounts of pain (20% or higher for a 5 hp wound), which can render a pawn permanently comatose in certain cases. This is a result of the reduction in Consciousness from the pain being added on top of the direct reduction in Consciousness from the brain injury itself due to the reduced part efficiency. However, in real life the human brain has no pain receptors. Despite their perceived location, headaches are usually caused by receptors triggering elsewhere in the head or neck, not by receptors in the brain. Certain types of headaches are due to irritation or swelling in the meninges, which is the membrane enveloping the brain and which ''does'' have pain receptors.

*Oscar22007: Research on attacking faction members and corresponding relation consequences

{{TOCright}}
'''Factions''' are the main source of NPC interactions in RimWorld. They are organizations whose members may appear as [[visitor]]s, [[trader]]s, [[guest]]s, or [[raiders]] depending on the faction's type and relationship with the player's faction, or in their own [[faction base]]s around the map. For most factions, the [[#Faction relations|relationship]] between them and the player can vary depending on the actions the player takes. This can result in allies sending reinforcements or trade caravans, or new enemies to [[raid]] you. Other factions are permanently hostile and exist only to send attacks.

Starting in version 1.3, specific factions can be added or removed from play before the planet is generated. As of version 1.4, up to 12 humanoid factions can be placed on the planet. [[Biotech]] replaces some of the starting factions with similar ones that feature different [[xenotypes]], but both types can still be placed manually.

Human-led factions will also occasionally provide [[quests]].

==Human-led factions==
Most factions are made up of humans, with settlements all over the world (and other worlds, in the case of empires).
[[File:ExampleFactions.png|600px|thumb|center|An example of the different factions with leaders in version 1.1, including the Empire from the [[Royalty DLC]]. ]]
Human factions always have a leader, and are displayed by default in the faction tab.

===Tribes===
{{Main|Tribes}}
''"These people have been here a very long time. Maybe their ancestors crashed here a thousand years ago. Maybe they survived some cataclysm that destroyed a technological civilization here. In any case, the tribals are a mostly nomadic people who live off the land using primitive tools and weapons. Despite their apparent technological weakness, the tribals can be dangerous enemies and valuable friends because of their skill with low-tech warfare, their numbers, and their hardiness."''

The tribes are groups of neolithic people with basic weaponry such as bows and spears. They have probably inhabited the planet for a long time. They always wear tribal clothing, which is equivalent in stats to a standard shirt. People from this faction are usually very hard to recruit (difficulty 80+), though it is possible to do so. Tribe names often have words derived from Galician, such as 'miñoca', 'legua', etc.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/RimWorld/comments/2sm3ak/comment/cnslco5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button</ref> They may not seem very strong due to their low level of technology, but they make up for it with sheer numbers.

This faction is a formidable ally and foe alike, and may start off as either of them. They may not be as dangerous as pirates, but they are not insignificant.

==== Gentle tribe ====
''"This particular tribe pursues a gentle way of life where they can. They are quite open to trade and alliances, even with strange peoples."''

Gentle tribes always start off neutral. This type of faction has a natural goodwill range from -50 to 50. If goodwill is over 50, it will fall by 0.4 per day. If goodwill is under -50, it will rise by 0.2 per day.

If [[Ideology]] DLC is enabled in the game, this tribe will have a random ideoligion.

==== Fierce tribe ====
''"This particular tribe values warlike dominance; it may be difficult to turn them into an ally."''

Fierce tribes always start off hostile towards your colonists, as well as to all other factions. This type of faction has a natural goodwill range from -100 to -80. If goodwill is over -80, it will fall by 0.4 per day. If goodwill is under -100, it will rise by 0.2.

In 1.0 or earlier, they used to be known as savage tribes.

If [[Ideology]] DLC is enabled in the game, this tribe will have a random ideoligion.

===== Fierce Neanderthal Tribe =====
{{Biotech|section=1}}
''"An unfriendly, territorial tribe of Neanderthals. They are open to peaceful trade, but are otherwise unfriendly and territorial. Warriors from their tribe won't hesitate to bash in the skulls of anyone they deem dangerous. Their numbers, and the extreme amounts of damage they absorb before falling make them serious foes despite their lack of technology and analytical ability.

Having been on the planet for countless generations, they have no memory how they got here. They might be the descendants of a neanderthal service caste from a dead civilization, or even the leftovers from some ancient science experiment."''

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Neanderthal Tribe is available as a subtype of the fierce tribe. Members of this faction will always be of the [[Neanderthal]] xenotype. This faction replaces the default "Fierce tribe" faction from the core game.

==== Savage tribe ====
''"This particular tribe is driven by a blood-and-honor culture; you will not be able to ally with them!"''

Savage tribes always start off hostile towards your colonists and all other factions. They are permanently hostile and cannot be befriended in any ways.

If [[Ideology]] DLC is enabled in the game, this tribe will always have an ideoligion with "Raider" as one of the Memes.

===== Savage Impid Tribe =====
{{Biotech|section=1}}
''"A vicious tribe of yellow-skinned, fire-spewing impids. This particular tribe has no intention of coexisting peacefully with anyone else. Their warriors are experts at using their natural speed and flame attacks to burn the towns and children of other peoples. Having been here for thousands of years, the origins of this tribe are lost in myth. They might descend from a group of settlers who lost their technology, or an impid community in some long-ruined civilization."''

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the impid tribe is available as a subtype of the savage tribe. Members of this faction will always be of the [[impid]] xenotype. This faction replaces the default "Savage tribe" faction from the core game.

==== Cannibal tribe ====
{{Ideology|section=1}}
''"This particularly vicious tribe believes eating the flesh of their enemies is a great honor."''

Optionally available as spawned faction at world creation, Cannibal tribes always starts off permanently hostile towards your colonist and all other factions, with no way of befriending them.

These tribe will always have an ideoligion with "Cannibal" as one of the memes.

==== Nudist tribe ====
{{Ideology|section=1}}
''"This particular tribe believes that covering one's body is wrong."''

Optionally available as spawned faction at world creation, Nudist tribes always start off neutral. This type of faction has a natural goodwill range from -50 to 50. If goodwill is over 50, it will fall by 0.4 per day. If goodwill is under -50, it will rise by 0.2 per day.

This tribe will always have an ideoligion with the "Nudist" meme.

===Outlanders===
{{Main|Outlanders}}
''"These people have lived here for decades or centuries, and have lost most of the technology that brought them to this world. They usually work with simple machinery and defend themselves with advanced gunpowder weapons. They are concerned with the practical matters of trade, trust and survival."''

Outlanders use the same equipment and technology as pirates, but do not behave the same. Outlanders may or may not be hostile. Due to their similarity to your colony they can be considered the standard faction. They often use similar equipment and tactics as normal pirates, but rarely use high level gear such as [[sniper rifle]]s. Be nice to them and you will be rewarded, but anger them and you basically have another pirate group, except this one can be negotiated with.

==== Civil outlander union ====
''"This particular group holds civil behavior in high regard."''

Civil outlander unions always start off neutral. This type of faction has a natural goodwill range from -50 to 50. If goodwill is over 50, it will fall by 0.4 per day. If goodwill is under -50, it will rise by 0.2 per day.

If [[Ideology]] DLC is enabled in the game, this faction's ideoligion will either have the Collectivist or Individualist meme. Any other memes are disallowed for this faction.

==== Minor Civil Outlander Union ====
{{Ideology|section=1}}
This union is self-generated faction that only appear during any of the quest "Outlander's Visit" and disappears after either all the pawns spawned from this faction dies from said quest, or they send the reward as thanks for letting them leave the place without getting them killed. It follows the same ideoligion as that of any Civil outlander union within the game, but any pawns that appears from this union from said quest will always follow the ideoligion of the relic they are visiting to venerate. They start off as neutral, but can become hostile if they are harmed by your faction's pawn.

==== Rough outlander union ====
''"This particular group has a streak of barbarity in them."''

Rough outlander unions always start off hostile towards your colonists, as well as all other factions. This type of faction has a natural goodwill range from -100 to -80. If goodwill is over -80, it will fall by 0.4 per day. If goodwill is under -100, it will rise by 0.2.

If [[Ideology]] DLC is enabled in the game, this faction will always have the Supremacist meme.

===== Rough Pig Union =====
{{Biotech|section=1}}
''"A loose union of hardy pigskin townships. They're willing to make friends, even with thinsnouts, but they're also ready to toss a bomb and gnaw human gristle when it suits them. Treat them with respect, and they'll offer a trotter to an ally in need. Turn against them and the last thing you hear might be a triumphant battle squeal."''

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Rough Pig Union is available as a subtype of the rough outlander union. Members of this faction will always be of the [[pigskins|pigskin]] xenotype. This faction replaces the default "Rough outlander union" faction from the core game.

==== Refugees ====
{{Royalty|section=1}}
''"A group of outlander refugees claiming to have lost their home."''

A hidden outlander micro-faction created for each instance of the [[Quests#Refugee_Hospitality|Refugee Hospitality]] quest. It contains only the pawns involved in that quest and is used to handle their relations with the player colony.

It is made up of pawns with the Outlander (95%) and Offworld (5%) [[backstories]]. They have an industrial tech level. The head of the faction is called the "Leader".

If [[Ideology]] DLC is enabled in the game, these refugees will have a random ideoligion.

===Pirates===
{{Main|Pirates}}
''"A loose confederation of pirate gangs who've agreed to mostly fight outsiders instead of fighting each other. Pirates don't sow, they don't build, and they rarely trade. Driven by a blood-and-honor culture that values personal strength and ruthlessness, they enrich themselves by raiding and robbing their more productive neighbors. Their technology level depends mostly on who they've managed to steal from recently. Mostly they carry gunpowder weapons, though some prefer to stab victims at close range."''

Pirates sport modern weapons and gear, though occasionally use advanced gear. It is pretty much impossible to negotiate with them (any attempts to do so result in vitriolic insults being thrown at you over the [[comms console]]). Pirates are the primary source of raids, usually attacking from the sides and occasionally dropping directly on your base. They kidnap incapacitated colonists if you leave them within reach, but do not kidnap your prisoners (exploit prevention vs players easing their leave).

If [[Ideology]] DLC is enabled in the game, this pirate gang will always have an [[ideoligion]] with "Raider" as one of the memes.

==== Cannibal Pirate Gang ====
{{Ideology|section=1}}
''"This particular gang of pirates are cannibals."''

Optionally available as spawned faction at world creation and much like the original pirates, these pirates cannot be negotiated in any ways and are permanently hostile towards every other faction.

These gangs will always have an [[ideoligion|ideoligions]] with "Cannibal" as one of the Memes.

==== Yttakin Pirates ====
{{Biotech|section=1}}
''"A close-knit band of hulking, fur-bodied pirates of the yttakin xenotype. They refuse to deal with outsiders and are quick to call their animal warriors against those who disrespect them - or whose wealth they intend to take. Originally engineered to populate the icy planet Yttak, yttakin now pursue their traditional lifestyle on many worlds."''

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Yttakin Pirates are available as a pirate band. Members of this faction will always be of the [[yttakin]] xenotype. This faction, along with the waster pirates, replaces the default pirate faction from the core game.

==== Waster Pirates ====
{{Biotech|section=1}}
''"A loose collection of violent pirate bands made up primarily of wasters - xenohumans engineered to thrive around toxins and pollution. They have little interest in building, or farming, preferring to take their sustenance from others using violence. Their technology level depends mostly on who they've managed to steal from recently. Mostly they carry gunpowder weapons, though some prefer to stab victims at close range."''

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Waster Pirates are available as a pirate band. Most members of this faction will be of the [[waster]] xenotype. This faction, along with the yttakin pirates, replaces the default pirate faction from the core game.

=== Empire ===
{{Royalty|section=1}}
{{main|Empire}}

An ultratech refugee society from another planet, organized along feudal lines. They lived for thousands of years in a stable multi-planet empire with a strict caste system, an intricate code of warrior ethics, and enforced cultural stasis. Invaded by powerful outsiders, they fled. Despite losing almost all of their people, their fleet and technology still make them powerful. They will refuse to trade with anyone who lacks the appropriate royal title.

If [[Ideology]] DLC is enabled in the game, the Empire will always have the Loyalist and Collectivist memes.

=== Traders Guild ===
{{Odyssey|section=1}}
{{main|Traders guild}}

''"A loose coalition of orbital traders. Together they form an orbital marketplace that buys and sells goods from around the planet. Orbital traders will also buy goods from the occasional interplanetary trading vessel, giving them access to rare technologies. These merchants are rarely found on the planet itself, preferring to live in the safety of their orbital platforms."''

=== Salvagers ===
{{Odyssey|section=1}}
{{main|Salvagers}}

''"A ruthless faction of orbital scavengers who scour space for derelict ships and valuable wreckage. Salvagers operate entirely in space."''

The Salvagers faction is a hidden faction, meaning it will not show up in the factions list and will not appear on the "Bio" tab on pawns. Unlike most other hidden factions, the Salvagers will generate with a leader.

==Leaderless factions==
These factions don't have a single leader, but they still show up in the game. Usually, these factions are associated with raids and other negative events.
[[File:HiddenFactions.png|700px|thumb|center|An example of hidden factions in 1.1]]

===Mechanoids===
{{main|Mechanoid}}

The Mechanoids are a faction of super-advanced robots, all of which are extremely formidable in combat. In Core, they are five types of mechs: [[Centipede]]s, [[Lancer]]s, [[Pikeman|Pikemen]], [[Scyther]]s and [[Termite]]s. The [[Biotech]] DLC{{BiotechIcon}} adds a large variety and the [[Odyssey]] DLC adds the [[cyclops]]{{OdysseyIcon}}.

Unlike human raiders, mechanoids do not feel [[pain]] and won't retreat once half their force is taken down, making them dangerous foes, especially to the unprepared. They have a decent combat AI that utilizes each unit's strengths as well. However, mechs are vulnerable to [[EMP]] damage.

[[Endings#Ending - Destroying the core|Destroying the mechhive core]]{{OdysseyIcon}} will permanently shut down this faction.

===Insectoids===
{{Main|Insectoids}}

These insectoids appear after the event "Infestation" or "Too Deep: Infestation" in tiles with overhead mountain as the roof. This can be viewed using the roof view tool at the bottom right of the screen. They include the [[spelopede]], the [[megaspider]], and the [[megascarab]]. Unlike Mechanoids, the Insectoids build bigger bases than a poison/psychic ship(similar to mechanoid clusters) and the hives act like the Mechanoid assembler. While the mechanoid assembler produces nothing but mechanoids, the hives produce [[Insect jelly|insect jelly]]. Insectoids will have to dig areas under mountains to expand. These infestations act like sieges.

===Ancients===
{{Main|Ancients}}
Ancients are another unlisted faction, comprised of ancient soldiers that are found within cryptosleep caskets that may be found inside [[ancient shrine]]s. No one knows what scenario forced them into their prolonged sleep, but those daring enough to awaken them should be prepared to defend themselves from an attack, as the ancient soldiers are frequently hostile. Ancient soldiers often wield high-tech weaponry and powerful armor, making them very dangerous. However, since they typically have low recruitment difficulty, managing to subdue them can quickly yield skilled colonists. Ancient soldiers formerly fell under the Spacer faction, and were known as Space soldiers.

If [[Ideology]] DLC is enabled in the game, the Ancients will always follow the last ideoligion in the list, which is white in colour and has the Loyalist, Transhumanist and Human primacy memes by default.

=== Entities ===
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
{{Main|Entities}}
All hostile entities make up an unlisted faction, simply referred to as "Dark entities". They can vary from basic entities like [[Shambler]]s, [[Ghoul]]s, and [[Fleshbeast]]s, up to more advanced ones such as [[Revenant]]s and [[Metalhorror]]s. Hostile [[Creepjoiner]]s and aggressive duplicates may also be assigned to this faction. The dark entities are permanently hostile to all other factions, with the exception of [[Insectoids]].

=== Horax cult ===
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
{{Main|Horax cult}}
Horax cults, always given the name "The Servants of Horax" are an unlisted faction, comprised of crazed cultists that has the capability of conducting psychic rituals upon raiding the colony multiple times. They have the capability of either causing Skip abductions, or drawing out [[Fleshbeast]]s from their ritual if not dealt with. While they usually come equipped with Neolithic-based equipment, some of the cultist may have additional appendages when arriving under siege.

=== Minor "Gentle" Tribe ===
{{Ideology|no category}}
These tribes are self-generated faction that only appears during any of the subquest "The Villager's" for "The <RELIC> of <IDEOLOGION>" and disappears completely after the sub-quest is concluded. They start off as neutral, but should any of the following action be taken:
* Attacking any of the tribe members, even if indirect
* Attempting to hack the terminal
* Wait for more than 10 hours in their map

They will immediately become hostile and start attacking.

A giant wave of them will also arrive from the edges within 2 hours should you take too long to send your colonist away after hacking the terminal.

==Factionless humans==
There are two types of humans who don't have a faction:
* '''Space refugees''' land in crashed transport pods. They will be injured on landing and can be rescued or imprisoned.
* '''Wild men / women''' wander in from time to time. They can be recruited by assigning a colonist to tame them.

In both case, if [[Ideology]] DLC is enabled in the game, these will always appear with randomized Ideoligions and have no set ideoligions as a whole.

== Faction naming ==
Each on-world faction has a randomly generated name for it.

*Outlanders have more peaceful and political names such as 'pan-global covenant', 'confederation', or simply a randomly put-together name.
*Tribals tend to use their natural environment, including words like 'mountain' in their names. They may also use Galician words.
*Pirates generate more 'badass' and violent names. They also tend to use intimidating or predatory animal or weapon names.
*Mechanoids always generate with a short, futuristic-sounding name followed by 'mechhive'.
*The Empire{{RoyaltyIcon}} will generate with an imperial-sounding name, being referred to as an 'Empire', 'Dominion' or 'Imperium', for example.
*Waster pirates{{BiotechIcon}} will use trash words, such as 'garbage', 'filth', or 'venom', followed by a collective noun such as 'crew' or 'party'.
*Pig unions{{BiotechIcon}}, impid tribes{{BiotechIcon}}, and yttakin pirates{{BiotechIcon}} will use names similar to that of their respective xenotypes.

Some factions will always generate with a fixed name.

*Insect genelines will always generated with the name 'Sorne Geneline'.
*Ancients, both neutral and hostile, always generate with the name 'Ancients'.
*Cultists{{AnomalyIcon}} will always use the name 'The Servants of Horax', and additionally, if [[Ideology]] is active, they will always generate with a fixed [[ideoligion]] named 'Nightmare Deep'.
**Despite this being their in-game name, the letter label used to inform of their arrival simply states 'Raid: Horax cultists'.

Since Alpha 16, the faction name generator has been changed to generate more varied and interesting names, and is now separate from name generation of settlements.

== Faction bases ==
{{Main|Faction base}}
Factions have many bases generated when the world is created, which can be traveled to by forming a [[caravan]] or launching [[transport pod]]s. Going to neutral or friendly factions will initiate a trade. Sending them to a hostile faction will start an assault on that base, which can be destroyed once the enemy flees. Then you have 24 hours to collect all the items you want before a caravan is automatically created to leave.

Destroying all bases of a Faction effectively eradicates them.<ref>https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=32761.msg340417#msg340417</ref> A defeated faction cannot send raids or appear in quests.

== Faction relations ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=1) How does the weighting towards default goodwill work 2) How is goodwill from gifts calculated (via drop pod to faction base, by human to faction base, by human to trader - see FactionGiftUtility}}
In RimWorld, one of the key gameplay features is the raids by enemy factions. When a new world is generated, various factions within the world are also added. These factions have varying relationships with your colony, and all of them may be your enemy from the start. As time progresses and your colony accumulates more wealth and grows larger, it may be a good idea to attempt to improve these relationships to even eventually have an ally to call upon in the worst of times.

=== Relationship status ===

There are three levels of relations that you can be with others; '''hostile''', '''neutral''' and '''ally'''. Different types of factions (e.g. outlander, gentle tribal, savage tribal, etc.) have different default levels, and any changed relations will tend to, slowly, gravitate back toward that default. This means that you not only need to change the '''goodwill''' between your colonists and another faction to change your status with that faction, but you must then also maintain it if you wish to continue with that newfound status (and some factions are harder than others to maintain).

Your current status with any faction on the map can be seen by clicking the (unlabeled) "Factions" icon (bottom of screen, far right, next to the Menu icon).

*'''Hostile''' factions send raids towards your base. They are not interested in trade of any kind.
*'''Neutral''' factions can be traded with if you or they visit the other with a [[caravan]], but will not respond to any [[comms console]] requests.
*'''Allied''' factions, in addition to trading, may send military assistance to bolster your defenses, as well as leave gifts in return. They will also respond to comms console requests for specific [[traders]], and (for non-tribals) emergency military aid.

To turn a hostile faction neutral, you must increase goodwill above 0. For a neutral faction to turn hostile, goodwill must decrease below -75. To make a neutral faction your ally, you must increase goodwill above 75, in which case they will remain allies until it reaches 0. The maximum goodwill possible is +100. Note that all [[Tribes#Savage_tribe|Savage tribes]] and [[Pirates]] factions have their Goodwill locked at -100, so any gestures to improve relations are wasted; they will remain "Hostile" throughout the game, immune to your best efforts.

=== Improving Relations ===

There are multiple ways to boost relations with factions. Note that none of these work on pirates or savage tribes.

* Via [[Events]]:
** Rescue one of their fallen faction members, take them in as a [[guest]] and treat them. They may have been part of an [[Events#Transport_pod_crash|event]], or a fallen [[visitor]] or [[trader]], but you didn't (directly) cause their injuries. Returning a faction member in “good health” to the edge of the map and effectively to the faction members will improve the goodwill by +16. This means the member must have injuries be fully tended to, but does not need to fully recover, also sickness and permanent damage dno not matter. (As of Update 1.4.3704, rescuing fallen faction members does not improve good will. It is unclear if this is a bug or intentional)
** [[Events#Bandit camp opportunity|Destroying raider outposts]] bothering another faction improves relations by 8 and comes with a material reward, for each outpost destroyed.
** Fulfilling [[Events#Caravan request|trade requests]], at a rate of +12 per request.
* Destroying faction bases of mutual enemies gives +20 goodwill.
* Returning a [[prisoner]] usually gives a +12 boost, or +15 if the shift moves relations toward "natural goodwill" (viewable in the [Factions] tab, bottom right of the screen).
* Trading will also boost relationships, at a rate of +1 per 500 silver traded.
* Sending them gifts can help improve relations, at a variable rate of +1 per 40-160 silver/market value gifted depending on current goodwill with lower goodwill corresponding to a lower silver cost.
* Performing [[Ritual]]s with the "Nearby faction goodwill" reward, giving either +10 or +20 to the faction closest the settlement {{Check Tag|offsite?|does performing the ritual in worksite camps or destroyed faction settlements give goodwill to the nearest faction for that tile}}

Legacy methods:
:* In Beta 18 or earlier, you can contact them on the [[comms console]] and give them 300 silver for +13 base goodwill boost (greatly depends on social skill and talking ability) if you have at least -70 rep.
:* In 0.19/1.0, you can give gifts by giving them to incoming trader caravans, send caravans to offer them, or send them via [[transport pod]] to their faction bases. The goodwill boost is proportional to the market value of the gifts given, with 160 worth of items or silver providing +1 rep boost.

=== Damaging Relations ===

There are several ways to make an enemy out of a faction, most being unintentional.

#When you damage a faction member, relations decrease differently whether the attack was ranged or melee; If it was ranged, it decreases relations by the weapon damage times x1.5, and if the attack was melee then by the corresponding attack damage (ex: Blade or Handle) times x2 (both approximated to its nearest integer). This disregards the creature type.
**It still decreases relations regardless of if [[Apparel#Protection|armour]] halves/deflects the damage and disregards the [[Incoming_Damage_Multiplier|Incoming Damage Multiplier]] [[Stat|stat]]
#When you call for reinforcements from an ally, this damages relations. However, this alone is unable to make a faction hostile to you as below a certain goodwill threshold, allied factions will not accept requests for military aid.
#Arresting a visiting faction member will set relations to -75 (Hostile), instantly making enemies out of any remaining faction members on the map. If they were already leaving, however, they will continue to do that instead of attacking you.
#Removing organs or limbs without a valid reason (such as infection) also lowers goodwill by 20. Extracting [[Hemogen|hemogen]] {{BiotechIcon}} from a prisoner lowers reputation by 1, although Bloodfeeding does not damage reputation.
#If visiting allies and animals are injured or killed from non-hostile faction sources such as animals or traps, this will damage relations by -5 for each dead member. While it may not seem fair that relations are damaged when friendlies are harmed by something beyond the player's direct control, the game is behaving correctly.<ref>https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=32929.msg339784#msg339784</ref> Hostile factions are not affected, and attacks from pirates won't greatly damage relations.
#Settling near a faction base (4 or fewer tiles away) will continuously damage relations every quadrum- the closer you are the more reputation damage every quadrum.
#Stripping a downed pawn will damage relations with their faction by 40 points. Dropped weapons and other items can be collected without penalty. Corpses can also be stripped without penalty.
#Casting hostile or neutral [[psycasts]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} on the members of a neutral or allied faction will damage your relation with them. The relation will be damaged even if the pawn was temporarily under your control for the purpose of a quest. In some cases, this may seem very unfair. For example, casting Skip on a downed ally to rescue them without exposing your own colonist to enemy fire will damage your relation with their faction.
#Dumping [[Toxic wastepack|toxic wastepacks]] {{BiotechIcon}} via drop pod or caravan will harm relations, and potentially cause them to retaliate with sending wastepacks back.
#Performing a [[Psychic ritual]] on a faction's pawn will damage from 30 to 50 goodwill.

Prior to 1.0 hitting faction members by accident also caused relation damage.

== Events ==
{{Main|Events}}
{{for|strategies for defense against raids|Defense tactics}}
{{for|strategies for attacks against hostile factions|Offense tactics}}
A faction's relationship with you in the game will determine how they interact with your colony, be it anything from just passing by to a full-scale attack.

=== Raids ===
Of course, one of the things that an enemy will do is attempt to raid your colony. The more they do it, and the richer you are, the stronger the attacks become as time progresses. For a detailed explanation as to what can happen, visit the page [[Raiders]].

==== Leader Assault ====
Occasionally the faction leader will direct the assault on your base in person. Killing them will grant a mood boost to the whole colony and will trigger a 'Leader replaced' event. If you capture and successfully recruit them, they will also be replaced.

=== Faction Assistance ===
Normally, this event will only occur if the player triggers it by asking for help in the comms console. Your allies will then spawn in a varying amount of troops near the edge of the map, making their way toward your base. The moment one of ''their'' enemies is spotted, they will begin to enter defensive positions and attack them. If they survive, they will then leave the map after a period of time. Allies might also send help on their own. If enemies appear on your map, allied Factions can occasionally send military aid to help you out without losing any relation points or silver. Note that rescuing any downed allies is a good way to keep relations high with them.

=== Travelers ===
This is when a friendly or neutral faction's members pass by the colony on their way from one end of the map to the other. The only time they spend on the map is walking from one end of it to another to then leave the map. Nothing special about that.

They will fight if they happen to encounter any hostiles while passing by.

=== Visitors ===
This is when a group of people or a single person makes their way from the edge of the map where they spawned to your colony to just mill around there for a while and then leave the way they came. Sometimes they may have a few items to trade.

This has no impact on relations with the faction, but can be nice if a common enemy attempts to raid you while they are there.

=== Trade Caravan ===
This is when a group of people come to [[trade]] with your colony. They often come with pack animals, and more goods and money to trade with than regular visitors.

They can come on their own randomly, or be called to visit through the use of a [[comms console]]. Doing so will cost 15 goodwill (or 700/1100 silver prior to 1.0). They take two days to arrive, and you can call one per faction every four days.

Factions tend to have trade items based on their [[tech level]]s, though this is not an absolute rule.

* See [[Trade#Types_of_traders|Trade/Types of traders]] for more information

=== Quests ===
{{Main|Quests}}
New events implemented in Alpha 17. They usually require you go somewhere in order to claim a reward.

After finishing a quest, there are 60 hours for you to reform your caravan before enemy reinforcements arrive.

== Xenotypes and Factions ==
{{Biotech|section=1}}

With Biotech pawns belonging to a type of faction have different chances to be of a certain Xenotype. Pawns coming from Tribes, and from every "Xenotype"-Faction except for the Waster pirates always belong to just one Xenotype (Tribes to the Baseliner Xenotype, and the other factions to their respective xenotypes), while the pawns from the other factions are more varied.
