{{Stub|reason=Could still be missing a few quests. Biotech quests possibly incomplete.}}
{{Image wanted|reason=All UI tabs and not in dev mode}}
'''Quests''' are a class of [[event]] where a challenge is performed in order to gain a reward.

==Summary==
{{TOCright}}
[[File:Quests_available.png|thumb|left|Quests UI on the 'Available' tab]]
Quests are found in the Quests tab. Most quests are offered by a [[faction]], but they can be offered by individual pawns or unaligned AI's. Most quests have to be accepted, but some are automatically given. Some quests have requirements to be accepted, and others have a time limit for acceptance. Quests can be "trashed" by clicking on the trash can icon, but is purely visual and can be reversed (Quests/Historical).

Most quests are time sensitive, and have one or both of these timers:
*The first timer is the limit to ''accept'' the quest. If not accepted, the quest will be rejected.
*The second timer is the time to ''do'' the quest, or alternatively, how long a quest lasts for.
Not all quests have a time limit. The 3 [[endings|endgame]] quests in particular (Ship to the Stars, Royal Ascent{{RoyaltyIcon}}, Archonexus{{IdeologyIcon}}) can be done at any time.

Some Quests, such as the beggars quest, are accepted automatically

Without the [[Royalty DLC]], you will receive 1 quest every 10 day interval - this means that quests can be up to 19.9 days apart. With the Royalty DLC active, you will get 2 quests every 12 day interval, as this DLC introduces many more possible quests.{{Check Tag|Verify|Taken from XML files. Verification ingame needed}}

===Difficulty===
Quests use the [[raid points]] mechanic to determine quest size. In general, the larger the colony, the more difficult and more rewarding quests will be. Unlike standard Major Threats that only use the raid points of that map tile or caravan, quests use the total raid point value from all colonies and caravans. If multiple colonies are open simultaneously, carefully read which colony will encounter the quest threat.

Quests can be from 1 to 3 stars. The more stars, the higher the raid point multiplier, and the harder the quest will be. One star quests are standard raid points. Two star quests are double Raid Points and Three Star is triple raid points. Quests also have a 30% raid point variance that causes quest threats to be up to 30% smaller or larger. These variation takes place on all Storytellers and the 50% Randy Random Raid Point multiplier does not apply to quests.

The 3 [[endings|endgame]] quests, exclusively, are listed as 4 stars. However, they do not scale in the same way as with other quests.

=== Rewards ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Table of all Options, with DLC, Core tag, commonalities etc, better description of how rewards are selected (select main reward, fill with filler etc), how to selected/deselected goodwill and honor, how honor is awarded (pawn selection, how away missions required the honored pawn to participate etc)}}

There are a few reward types - from simple rewards such as [[plasteel]] and [[hyperweave]], to quest-exclusive items like [[tornado generator]]s and [[vanometric power cell]]s, to factional [[goodwill]] and new colonists. Sometimes, the quest is its own reward, such as solving a [[condition causer]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} or escaping the planet. Quests may only have 1 reward, or they can have a pool of 3 rewards to choose from.

If you accept a quest for [[goodwill]] or [[honor]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, those will be the only quest rewards, so you cannot receive both honor, goodwill and items from the same quest, excluding hospitality, bandit camp and crashed shuttle quests.

Reward preferences can be altered at the bottom of the quest menu. This allows you to choose if you want [[goodwill]] or [[honor]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} from a specific faction. Disabling these rewards means you'll get another pool of rewards to choose from, but it is still possible to receive faction goodwill through keeping high moods during hospitality quests.

Certain pawn join rewards - typically the ones offered by the pawn themselves, but all on console - will not give detailed information about the pawn themselves. You ''will'' be able to see their age and [[backstory]] before accepting. For example, a ''Nurse'' will always have some amount of Medical skill, but will almost always be incapable of Violence. However, others may allow you to preview them as if viewing their info tab.

Main reward options:
* [[Honor]]
* [[Goodwill]]
* New colonists
* [[Flatscreen television]]
* [[Telescope]]
* [[Gladius]]
* [[Recurve bow]]
* [[Infinite chemreactor]]
* [[Psychic animal pulser]]
* [[Vanometric power cell]]
* [[Tornado generator]]

==Failure==
Most quests can be failed in a couple of general ways:
#Not accepting it / Not completing it in time.
#Becoming hostile with the quest giver's faction.
#Becoming neutral with an enemy faction you were supposed to fight.
Quests can be failed in other ways, depending on the type of quest. No matter what, if you've gotten the quest reward, then you have the reward.

=List of quests=
This section covers all the quests available in Core RimWorld. For DLC content, see [[#Royalty]], [[#Ideology]], and [[#Biotech]].

==Bandit Camp==
A faction has contacted you about an outpost of a mutual enemy. Destroy it to be rewarded.

When accepting this quest:
*An event space generates somewhere near your colony, with enemies inside.
**Timer starts as soon as the base is generated, and will remain the same regardless of when it is accepted.
As soon as the enemies are "fleeing" (>50% of enemies [[downed]] or [[death|killed]]), you will be rewarded at your colony. Plus, the camp itself can generate with some loot.

==Downed Refugee==
A refugee has contacted you for help. They are [[downed]] and need your help. As a pawn join event, it will be less common as you gain more people.

When this quest appears:
*You have a certain time frame to reach the downed refugee. The refugee won't starve or bleed out before you reach the event space.
*Any specified threats will be present. An unknown threat may appear as you approach the refugee.
*Generally, the refugee won't have any bleeding wounds at all, meaning you have time to deal with any threats that appear. When rescued, they will gain the {{+|18}} ''Rescued'' [[mood]]let for 30 days.

Select a colonist, right click on the refugee, and click "offer help" in order to accept them into your colony. You can see the pawn's bio and stats before accepting them. If you don't like the pawn, then you can leave with no penalty.

==Item Stash==
You have been contacted about items nearby your colony.

When this quest appears:
*You have a certain time frame to reach the item stash.
*Any specified threats will be present. An unknown threat may appear as you approach the stash.

==Peace Talks==
An enemy faction is willing to talk. Depending on your negotiator, they may become ease relations, or immediately attack you. This needs a hostile faction that is willing to become allies.

When this quest appears:
*You have a certain, random time frame to reach the peace talk location. This time, which is not listed in the quest description, will be between 12 and 28 days. As soon as you reach the event tile, the event will trigger.
*This quest has various outcomes, increasing or decreasing [[goodwill]]. The chance of each outcome is determined randomly, influenced by the [[Negotiation Ability]] of the best pawn you set into the caravan, who will act as a negotiator for this quest.
**'''Triumph''' - Goodwill increases by 100-110, faction leaves a gift with total 500 - 1200 market value, {{RoyaltyIcon}}negotiator get 1-4 [[Honor]] if Peace Talks were with the [[Empire]].
**'''Success''' - Goodwill increases by 60-70, {{RoyaltyIcon}}negotiator get 1-4 [[Honor]] if Peace Talks were with the [[Empire]].
**'''Flounder''' - No change in relations.
**'''Backfire''' - Goodwill decreases by 10-20.
**'''Disaster''' - Goodwill decreases by 40-50, ''immediate attack'' on caravan party.

|}
Peace talks will give the negotiator 6000 Social skill experience regardless of the outcome, negotiator's passion, or [[Global Learning Factor]]. Even if peace talks were a "Triumph", the faction may still be hostile to you. You can send gifts to increase goodwill to 0, where they will become neutral. You cannot ever gain goodwill with [[pirate]] factions or any faction listed as "hostile" in the Factions screen, so they will never offer you this quest.


==Prisoner Rescue==
A prisoner has called you for help. If you can free them, then they will join the colony. As a pawn join event, it will be less common as you gain more people.

When this quest appears:
*You have a certain timeframe to reach the prisoner camp. When you arrive, you'll need to defeat all enemies.
*The prisoner starts with some [[food]] in their cell. When rescued, they will gain the {{+|18}} ''Rescued'' [[mood]]let for 30 days.
In order to recruit the prisoner: first, defeat enemies. Then, claim the prison cell's [[door]], or just destroy the cell's walls. Select a colonist, right click on the prisoner, and click "Free Prisoner". You can see the pawn's bio and stats before accepting them. If you don't like the pawn, then you can leave with no penalty.

==Threatened Joiner==
A pawn is threatened by some sort of mutual enemy. As a pawn join event, it will be less common as you gain more people.

When accepting this quest:
*The specified pawn will immediately join your colony.
*A [[major threat]] will arrive at the colony within a few hours.
**This can be enemy [[raider]]s, a [[manhunter pack]], a [[mech cluster]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, an world event [[condition causer]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, or a forced condition (like [[rain]], [[heat wave]], or [[volcanic winter]]) for a few days{{RoyaltyIcon}}. This threat is usually specified.

==Trade Request==
A [[faction base]] is requesting a special offer. You have a certain amount of time to get to the faction base and deliver the items.

When accepting this quest:
*You will have to deliver the requested items. All items must be of normal [[quality]] or higher and cannot be tainted, but item {{HP}} does not matter.
**You can't send the items directly via [[transport pod]], but you can transport pod a pawn and the items to the location.
*A timer starts as soon as you accept this quest. The time limit does not compensate you if you accept the quest early; accepting the quest later is advantageous as it gives more time. 
Rewards are received as soon as items are delivered. Item rewards are inserted into the [[caravan]] that fulfilled the offer in the first place; make sure you can carry it back.

==Ore Lump==
A [[long-range mineral scanner]] has found a lump of ore. You have a certain amount of time to get the ore before others retrieve it. Note: this quest ''only'' appears when using the long-range mineral scanner.

When this quest appears:
*You have a certain timeframe (30 days) to reach the ore lump. You have 10 days to mine the ore before raids start arriving.
*Any specified threats will be present. An additional unknown threat may appear as you approach the ore lump.
The reward is that you get to mine the minerals you've scanned for. Many minerals are very heavy and need either [[pack animal]]s or [[transport pod]]s to bring back.

=Royalty=

==Royalty Intro Quests==
These quests appear only once, near the start of the game. These offer distinct interaction with the [[empire]] faction.

===Noble Wimp===
{{RoyaltyIcon}} A [[noble]], either a knight or praetor, is being chased by a small, manhunting animal. This quest generally appears after 8-11 days from colony start, but can appear later on or never generate. This quest won't appear if you have under 3 colonists, if you have disabled honor in your Reward Preferences, or if you are in an extreme biome. 

When accepting this quest:
* An empire noble, always with the [[Wimp]] trait, joins your colony as a quest lodger. A single [[manhunter]] animal - [[rat]], [[squirrel]], or [[raccoon]] at largest, will be following them.
* After 3 hours from accepting the quest, a [[shuttle]] will arrive to pick up the noble. The noble can be carried to the shuttle if they are [[downed]].

This quest always gives 8 [[honor]], enough to get a pawn to the [[Title#Tiles|Yeoman]] rank.

'''Notes:''' You can [[arrest]] the noble wimp, if so desired. The noble will have a ''massive'' amount of [[resistance]] due to their title (+75 for count), which makes it not worth it - unless you have a recruitment inspiration available.
* However, with the [[Ideology DLC]], they can be [[slave|enslaved]]{{IdeologyIcon}} with much less effort. Slavery removes the conceited work restrictions, and gives an innate [[mood]] buff that counters regular noble requirements. Meanwhile, being a wimp makes slave rebellions easy to quell. Slavery can be worth betraying the empire, if the noble has some very desirable [[psycast]]s, like [[berserk pulse]], [[farskip]], or [[neuroquake]].

=== The Deserter ===
{{Recode|section=1|reason=Weapon list via tag system or alternatively just make a small pawnkind table}}
{{RoyaltyIcon}} Somebody has deserted the [[empire]]. Accepting them will mean that you'll become enemies with the empire. This quest generally appears after 26-29 days of the colony start, but can appear later on or never generate. 

When accepting this quest:
*The deserter joins you as a colonist. This deserter will be of the [[Raider#Empire|"Trooper"]] pawn type. They will always be capable of violence, and have a Shooting skill between 4 - 10 (before [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}}).
** They will be wearing a [[flak vest]], [[flak jacket]], and have one of the following weapons: [[Assault rifle]], [[Chain shotgun]], [[Heavy SMG]], [[LMG]], [[Hellcat rifle]].{{AnomalyIcon}}
*{{--|200}} [[goodwill]] with the [[empire]]. (Goodwill has a cap of -100)
*You will have to fight the "loyalty squad" from the empire. Due to how early this quest appears, this is likely to be just 1 trooper.
*An empire outpost will be generated, with 2 [[psylink neuroformer]]s, along with other camp loot. This goes away after 60 days.
It does not matter what happens to the deserter pawn after you have accepted the quest. You will still have access to the neuroformer camp.

'''Notes:'''
*There is nothing stopping you from befriending the empire later, by giving them gifts and/or doing quests for goodwill.
*Can be worth betraying the empire in ''just'' for the gear the deserter brings, especially in [[scenario system#Naked Brutality|Naked Brutality]]. If you're lucky, then the loyalty squad will only be [[downed]], netting you a second pair of trooper gear.

==Desperate Refugees==
{{RoyaltyIcon}} Desperate refugees are looking to stay at your colony to rest and regroup.

When accepting this quest:
*Refugees join as quest lodgers, and will do work. These refugees will never be afiliated with any faction. The higher your current colonist population, the more refugees appear, but the less likely the quest is to generate.
**Refugees may offer to join the colony, especially if they are kept [[mood|happy]]. There is no penalty for not accepting this join offer.
**Refugees may betray you. They will become enemies, pick up any nearby weapons, and attack colonists as if they were raiders. They will never betray you on their own if you get a betrayal offer yourself.
**Refugees will never betray you if one of them is [[child]]{{BiotechIcon}} and the [[storyteller]] setting, [[AI Storytellers#Child enemies|Child enemies]] is turned off.
*If a refugee is arrested, experienced a harmful surgery, or killed for any reason, then the other refugees will either receive a {{--|12}} moodlet, leave your colony (failing the quest), or betray you immediately.
*If the refugees stay for the full period of time and they leave the map successfully, then there is a chance you will get a random, wealth-scaled reward in the future.

'''Notes:'''
*If you ''really'' want a refugee to join your colony, then it's best to [[arrest]] one of them immediately, to avoid the chance of betrayal and subsequent death. [[Draft]] all the other refugees as far away as possible, for when they go hostile.
*If you plan on capturing refugees, you can apply anesthetic to them. This allows you to capture every one of them for [[human resources|whatever purposes you'll want]].

=== Betrayal offer ===
A member of another faction has learned that the refugees are in your faction, and wants them dead.
*Gain a reward if you kill all members of the refugee group.
**If a refugee has joined the colony ''before'' the betrayal offer, then you don't need to kill them. If a refugee joins afterwards, or is [[arrest]]ed and then recruited, then the quest fails.

== Build Monument ==
{{RoyaltyIcon}} A noble, leader, or machine persona has requested you to create a specific mounument.

When accepting this quest:
*You will immediately receive a monument marker through drop pod.
*Once the monument marker is installed, you will have to build the monument around the specified timeframe. The marker can be moved if so desired.
*Once the monument is built, then you will usually have to protect any part of the monument from being destroyed in X days. Otherwise, one of the two things can happen, depending on the quest:
**Loss of [[goodwill]] with the faction, if any.
**Any [[Events#Major Threats|major threat]] other than a raid. These are specified by the quest when it is generated.
*Putting any constructions in a completed monument will start a 24 hour timer, after which the monument will be considered destroyed. The monument may be used as a stockpile without issue.
You will get the reward when the monument is finished in the required timeframe, no matter what happens to it afterwards.

'''Notes:'''
*If you want to preserve the monument, then watch out for [[fire]] burning up [[wood]]en structures. Shuttles from shuttle quests also start the monument destruction timer.
*You can take the quest solely for the major threat that appears. You can break the monument to unleash a pack of [[manhunter|manhunting]] [[grizzly bear]]s to disrupt an enemy [[siege]], or to call in a [[sun blocker]] with a fluid [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, in order to take advantage of the [[Ideoligion#Combat in darkness|Combat in Darkness]] precept.

=== Title Inheritance ===
{{RoyaltyIcon}}
If a pawn with a [[noble]] title of yeoman and above dies, their designated heir will inherit their title. Their heir is randomly chosen, with extra weight given to the person's then-current spouse. If you want to change this title, you need to go to a [[comms console]] and request it.

This is exactly the same as the build monument quest, but the only reward is that the heir is changed. No threat rewards on failure, just goodwill loss.

== Ferried Bandit Camp ==
{{RoyaltyIcon}} An NPC noble wants you to take out a camp of bandits, and will ferry your soldiers there in a shuttle. Identical to a normal [[#Bandit camp|bandit camp]] barring the means of travel.

When accepting this quest:
*A [[shuttle]] will arrive in your colony, requesting a specific amount of soldiers (no more, no less). The location is generally much too far away (~150+ world tiles) to be able to support the team with additional troops normally. Travel time takes only an in-game hour or so in either direction.
*The soldiers will be fed en route, and are given a generous time limit (several days) to take out the bandit camp.
*The bandits will typically begin attacking your team of soldiers within a few minutes of landing, even if your soldiers have not attacked them or gotten near them yet.
As soon as the enemies are "fleeing" (>50% of enemies [[downed]] or [[death|killed]]), you will be rewarded at your colony. Plus, the camp itself can generate with some loot. The same shuttle can ferry them back. '''Nota bene:''' If [[Titles|honor]] is chosen as a reward, only a pawn that participated in the attack can be given it.

Besides your initial team, the provided shuttle does not allow you to bring back any additional pawns, such as a downed enemy you may wish to capture. One of a good solution is to have the pawns carry enough material to make [[Pod launcher]], [[Transport pod]] and have enough [[Chemfuel]] to fuel the pod as far enough as possible. If not, try and launch the pod with a few able colonist inside and bring them back to main base.

==Forced Weather==
{{RoyaltyIcon}} A noble of the empire, or a machine persona from space, is willing to cause a game condition on your colony for a few days.

When accepting this quest:
*A game condition will be forced on you for the listed duration. At low wealth, this will be a change of [[weather]]. At higher wealth, it can a [[cold snap]], [[heat wave]], or another [[condition causer]] effect, such as a [[psychic drone]] or [[EMI dynamo|EMI field]].
You will get the reward immediately upon accepting this quest.

'''Notes:'''
*Don't underestimate weather conditions. Forced rain will lower ranged accuracy and movement speed.
* Forced heat waves and cold snaps will stack with naturally-occurring ones.
* Forced fog will prevent the usual [[rain]] that appears when a [[fire]] gets too big. Wildfires can ravage the whole map, including your base.

==Hospitality==
{{RoyaltyIcon}} A group is asking for you to house their pawns for a certain amount of time.

When accepting this quest:
*A pawn or multiple pawns will arrive at your base through [[drop pod]] or [[shuttle]]. These can be [[animal]]s, [[prisoner]]s, or human visitors. You must keep them safe for the duration.
** If the pawn is a visitor, then you may have to keep their mood above a certain threshold. If average mood is too low for too long, then the quest fails. The quest may also specify ''they appreciate quality accommodation''; keeping average mood > 50% will increase [[goodwill]]. {{Check Tag|How much?}}
** If a pawn is a [[noble]], then you will need a bedroom suitable for their rank to accept the quest. You will ''also'' need another bedroom suitable for any of your own nobles.
** The pawns may come with [[blood rot]]. Blood rot must be treated every day in order to be prevented. If it progresses to 1.00, the pawn dies. A tend quality of 40% or more is required to stop progression. Tends below 40% slow the disease; tends above 40% will reverse the progression of the disease.
** The pawns may come with [[paralytic abasia]]. They will be unable to move.
* There may be a specified [[major threat]] that arrives with the quest. This threat can arrive at any time during the hospitality stay.
** If there is a major threat, you may come with soldiers under your control. They can die in battle without consequence and will have {{+|12}} ''On Duty'' moodlet. However, betraying them will lower goodwill as usual.

==Pawn Lending==
{{RoyaltyIcon}} A member of an outlander or empire faction is requesting a pawn from your colony.

*A [[shuttle]] will arrive to pick up specified amount of colonists. The amount requested is dependent on your current colonist count. The pawn must be age 13 or older. Slaves do not count.
*The shuttle will return in a specified amount of days. Colonists are usually safe, but if they had a pre-existing condition like the [[plague]], then they can die. They will be fed and tended to.
You will get the reward when requested colonists have left the colony.

==Rewarded Warfare==
{{RoyaltyIcon}} A faction is asking you to fight a mutual enemy.

When accepting this quest:
* A [[major threat]] will be triggered in your colony. This can be a [[manhunter pack]], [[mechanoid cluster]], or one or multiple [[raid]]s.
** If there are multiple raids in this quest, the listed raid will be the ''first'' raid. The other raids will have the same [[raid points]], but not the same composition.
* You may receive soldiers under your control. They can die in battle without consequence and will have {{+|12}} ''On Duty'' moodlet. However, betraying them will lower goodwill as usual. They will leave once the threat has been cleared.{{Check Tag|All enemies, or the final wave?|One time, the support NPCs left as soon as the third wave of a three-wave quest had been driven off, despite the fact that the second wave was still hanging out near the map edge, preparing to attack.}} Note: If the threat is not cleared after ~10 days, the loaned soldiers will leave on their own.
* Soldier names like [[Empire#Janissary|janissary]] or [[Empire#Cataphract|cataphract]] correspond to their specific pawnkinds. See [[Raiders#Humanlike|Raiders]] for details.
For manhunters and raiders, you'll get the reward once all quest enemies are defeated or left the map. You do not need to actually kill any manhunters, for instance. For mech clusters, the reward appears after the "Mech cluster buildings have been defeated" message appears.

==Shuttle Crash==
{{RoyaltyIcon}} A [[shuttle]] of the [[empire]] has crashed and needs to land in your colony, along with the commander, their soldiers, and possible civilians. Raiders of a mutual enemy will come and attack the shuttle group.

When accepting this quest:
* A crashed shuttle appears on the map. Landing site unaffected by [[ship landing beacon]]s. The commander and civilians need to be saved. Soldiers do not need to be saved. Every person comes with [[biocoded]] weapons. This shuttle can be deconstructed for {{icon small|plasteel}} 35, {{icon small|steel}} 20, and {{icon small|component}} 5, regardless of the outcome.
* Raiders will come in ~ 4 hours from the shuttle crashing. Raiders have the intent to kill the empire's pawns.
* The rescue shuttle will arrive within 8 hours of the shuttle crash. [[Downed]] people must be carried to the shuttle yourself.
* {{--|10}} goodwill with the empire if the shuttle commander is killed, or otherwise misses the shuttle.
** Another {{--|10}} goodwill if any amount of other occupants misses the shuttle.

'''Notes:'''
* The shuttle is worth a fair chunk of materials. This quest is often worth it for the shuttle alone.
* The empire's weapons are all [[biocoded]], with the possibility of the commander having a [[persona weapon]]. The armor isn't, but stripping will penalize goodwill, and [[death acidifier]]s prevent post-mortem retrieval.
* Against small raids, it is likely that the empire's fighters will be able to handle enemies on their own.

==Condition Causer==
{{Main|Condition causer}}
{{RoyaltyIcon}} A [[condition causer]] has been deployed within 10 tiles in order to harass your colony. As long as it stands, the condition will continue. This is a [[major threat]] and not a quest, but it appears in the quests tab.

When this quest appears:
* The condition causer will appear, until it is destroyed.

'''Notes'''
* If a mechanoid cluster is deployed, you don't actually have to wake the cluster up. Claim a door on the enclosed building, destroy the causer, and leave the map. Just avoid [[proximity activator]]s on the way.
* Some condition causers can be desirable.

==Noble Ceremony==
{{RoyaltyIcon}} Your [[noble]] has enough [[honor]] for a new title. In order to accept this title, you must have a [[throne room]] suitable of their title. The map must be clear of the empire's enemies.

When accepting this quest:
* A bestower and a squad of janissaries will arrive via [[shuttle]].
* If the bestower is [[downed]] via any means, then they'll drop 2 [[psylink neuroformer]]s. However, downing will lower [[goodwill]] with the empire faction regardless of who did it.
* Once the bestower has reached the throne room, select your noble pawn, right click the bestower, and the [[Titles#Bestowing_ceremony|Bestowing Ceremony]] ritual will begin.
You will get the reward once the bestowing ceremony finishes, regardless of outcome.

The ceremony is considered a [[ritual]] and its outcome affects colonist mood. It can also grant extra honor based on ritual quality, regardless of outcome. Quality is determined by participant count and room impressiveness. You can get up to a maximum of 3 honor, at >90% quality.

= Ideology =

== Ancient Complex ==
{{IdeologyIcon}} This quest reveals an abandoned ancient complex on the world map, ready to be explored and looted by your colonists. There is also a variant of the quest whereby a [[shuttle]] will be provided to take a specific number of colonists there. It takes off immediately once the correct number of colonists are inside, and usually lands at the edge of the map with the complex.

You can reform the caravan once all opened rooms have been cleared of enemies. If your colonists arrived by shuttle, you can send them back, but only when there are no threats within the map.

Ancient complexes are scaled to player wealth.{{Check Tag|Determined when?|Anecdotal evidence suggests that the point value is set when the location is first discovered and added to your quest list.}}

The ancient complex is often littered with derelict structures and desiccated corpses with no information on how long they have been dead for and no decaying health.

Some rooms are mostly empty, while others contain enemies:
* Room filled with [[insectoids]].
* Room filled with [[mechanoids]].
* Room containing [[ancient unstable fuel node]] that can explode.
* Room filled with derelict ancient caskets. These will always contain hostile [[ancients]] in suspended animation.
* Seemingly empty rooms that trigger an insectoid [[infestation]] incident upon entry.

The threats may be dormant, waking or exploding upon entry, when crates or other special objects in the room are tampered with, or when a fuel node explode in an adjacent room. They will not be triggered if the door of the room is opened but the cell of the door is not stepped on.
As always, insectoids, mechanoids, and ancients are enemies and will try to kill each other on sight.

You may run into [[Hermetic crate|Hermetic crates]] (contain any item, including [[techprint]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}), [[Security crate|Security crates]] (contain equipment), [[Ancient enemy terminal|Ancient enemy terminals]] (call enemy faction) and [[Ancient comms console|Ancient comms consoles]] (call a drop beacon of loot from random places, with the chance of triggering a raid at the same time) in any of the rooms. All except the comms console have a [[Flammability]] of 0%{{Check Tag|Verify}}, making them immune to the fires often started by the explosive fuel nodes.

=== Analysis ===
[[File:Ancient complex sapping.png|thumb|Smashing the ancient complex wall to create a different route, after all routes has been blocked by mechanoids]]
It's usually possible to explore and loot the entire complex without fighting any enemy. Pay attention whenever a pawn is opening a door. If the new room contains a threat, immediately move them away to avoid triggering it and find another route around that room

If all routes to the unexplored rooms are blocked by threats, you can still smash the wall from outside to create a different route.

You can reduce the temperature of the fire caused by the fuel nodes by smashing walls to connect it to the outside.

You only need to fight the threat when it's an infestation, or it's in the same room with something you need to interact with

==Beggars==
{{IdeologyIcon}} Beggars have arrived in your colony, asking for goods. Beggars appear roughly once every 60 days.

When this quest appears:
* Some beggars will appear on your map. They are always unaffiliated with any faction.
* They will request a random material that you have, like [[silver]], [[herbal medicine]], or [[beer]]. They can request up to {{icon small|silver}} 700 [[silver]] worth of items. Right click the beggar with the question marks to give them the items. If you don't' give the items, they will leave after ~1 day.
* The beggars must leave the map healthy in order for the quest to complete. If a beggar is arrested or killed, you'll get the "Travelers Betrayed" notification. The group of beggars may then flee the map, become hostile, or remain in the colony with a negative mood modifier.
This quest gives no extrinsic reward, and betraying the beggars has no penalty. However, it interacts with the Charity [[precept]].

'''Notes:'''
* Beggars can be arrested, and have ''very'' low base resistance (4-8 with low population). If you find a beggar with desirable characteristics, don't be hesitant to capture one.
* After arresting one beggar, the rest will run and become unable to be arrested, but will fight back when attacked, unlike both [[prison break|prison breaks]] and fleeing raiders

==Work Site==
{{Main|Work site}}
{{IdeologyIcon}} A work site has appeared near your colony, potentially owned by another faction. You can raid it for resources. Note that this is a world map event and not a proper quest.

When this quest appears:
* An event space will appear near your colony. It will contain resources stated by the camp, further resources, and the enemies on the map.
* The site can be owned by a Neutral, Allied, Hostile, or 'minor' faction. Work Sites owned by minor factions can be attacked without diplomatic consequences.

The reward is the items on the map. Also counts as a raid for the Raiding [[precept]].

==Relic Hunt==
{{See also|Relic}}

{{IdeologyIcon}} This quest is a unique main quest, which requires you to do 5 sub-quests by hacking into terminals during said quests. You must first accept the main quests, and then sub-quests will appear over time. After completing enough sub-quests, the relic's location will appear, guarded by hostile mechanoids.

=== The Villagers ===
'' You've learned of an ancient terminal that contains information about the '''''<RELIC NAME>'''''. However, the terminal is surrounded by a tribal village, and the locals venerate it. They aren't part of any major faction.''

This sub-quest requires you to send your colonist to the [[tribe]]'s base. The tribe are initially neutral towards you, but any harm befalling them, attempting to hack the interface or staying for 10 hours or more will immediately render them hostile and attack your colonist.

Dispatch the faction and get a colonist to hack the terminal to conclude the mission. Be wary that tarrying too long in the base (2 hours) will cause a lot of tribal members from said faction to appear.

=== Cryptodrone Intel Hack ===
'' You've detected an orbiting spacedrone that may contain information about '''''<RELIC NAME>'''''. You have the code that will force it to land at '''''<COLONY NAME>'''''. To get the information, hack into the drone's computer. Hacking takes time, but those strong in intellectual skill can speed up the process. After landing, the spacedrone will self-destruct in 30 days. ''

Alternative quest title: '''Orbital Cryptodrone Hack'''

This sub-quest will force a [[spacedrone|cryptodrone space ship]] to land, usually far away from the main base. Send a colonist to try and hack the drone whilst setting up a defense perimeter. A selected hostile (usually permanently hostile) faction will arrive 10 hours after the crypto drone lands, and every 8 hours after that in an attempt to destroy the drone, with half of them aiming after any nearby colonist, whereas the other half attacks the drone.

Upon successfully hacking the cryptodrone, the quest concludes, but the drone will initiate a self-destruct sequence within 30 seconds after its hacked, after which it will explode.

Remarkably, it is possible to finish hacking the drone before the first raid arrives, if this is done while the drone has not self-destructed yet, they will spawn, but leave as soon as the drone self-destructs. In order to hack the drone in time, you need a pawn with 300% hacking speed, which is achievable by a level 20 intellectual pawn with the neurotic trait on a work frenzy. If the opposing faction's goodwill was raised to neutral before accepting the quest, then no raid will happen at all, despite the game's upcoming raid timer.

=== Ancient Complex ===
'' You've learned of an ancient complex nearby. It is said to contain information about '''''<RELIC NAME>'''''. '' - Self-travel description

'' '''''<PAWN NAME>''''', '''''<PAWN TYPE>''''' of '''''<FACTION NAME>''''', has discovered an ancient complex a long distance away. He/She believes it contains information about the relic known as '''''<RELIC NAME>'''''. '' - Shuttle-travel description

This sub-quest requires you to send your colonist to an abandoned ancient complex map. In terms of enemies and other challenges, it's similar to a regular [[Quests#Ancient_Complex|Ancient Complex]] quest. To conclude the sub-quest, hack all the [[ancient terminal]]s within the map.

The effects of starting or finishing a terminal hack can be quite unpredictable. Sometimes it triggers a fuel node explosion in a completely different room, and sometimes it doesn't even wake up the mechanoids sleeping right next to the terminal.

The terminals have a [[flammability]] of 0%, making them immune to the fires often started by [[Ancient unstable fuel node|unstable fuel node]] explosions.

=== Relic Retrieval ===
Once you have completed 5 subquests, the location will appear. It will be defended by [[mechanoid]]s, who will wake up in 3 days.

The relic will be inside a [[reliquary]]. It takes 5 seconds to get the relic, in which case any mechanoid defenders will be alarmed.

== Pilgrims ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Missing almost all detail on pilgrim mechanics, gifts, what they do, what pawns can show up, ideoligion effects etc.}}

{{IdeologyIcon}} Once a relic has been acquired, Pilgrims will come on occasion. They will stay for a few hours

They may offer gifts or join your colony, similar to the refugees quest

=Biotech=

== Ancient Transport ==
'' You have decrypted an ancient transponder, revealing the location of a mechanoid ship in orbit. The ship is badly damaged but you can signal it to land nearby. The ship contains the remains of a long-dead mechanitor. Mechanitor can create and control mechanoids for work and combat. By extracting the deceased mechanitor's mechlink, you can turn one of your colonist into a mechinator. Beware - the ship also contains hostile mechanoids. The mechanoid group is composed of: (Mechanoid list, usually 1 [[Tesseron]] or [[Militor]]) ''

{{BiotechIcon}} This quest appears after destroying an [[ancient exostrider midsection]], and using its [[ancient transponder]]. You can then choose to accept the quest at your leisure.

When accepting this quest:
* A [[spacedrone|cryptodrone space ship]] will land in your colony, along with a hostile [[mechanoid]] force. The mechs will prepare for a while, and then attack.
The reward is the [[mechanitor]] corpse that the ship drops. You can extract the [[mechlink]] from this corpse, allowing one of your colonists to become a mechanitor themselves.

Having "Disable exostrider remains" as part of the scenario will prevent this quest from appearing, due to the absence of the exostrider midsection. This is intended as part of The Mechanitor [[scenario]].

== Ancient Mechanitor Complex ==
'' You've learned of an ancient complex nearby that contains the remains of a long-dead mechanitor. Mechanitor can create, control and manipulate mechanoids for work and combat. If you can break into the complex and collect the mechanitor's corpse, you can extract their mechlink and turn one of your colonists into a mechanitor. Be warned - these kinds of structures contains a variety of threats, and your activity at the complex might draw unwanted attention. ''

{{BiotechIcon}} Similarly to [[#Ancient Complex|ancient complex]] quest, the mechanitor complex consists of similar items you normally found inside an ancient complex. The key difference is one of the desiccated corpses is a mechanitor with a mechlink currently in its corpses, which can be extracted for its mechlink.

This is the primary method of obtaining more than one [[mechanitor]] in a single playthrough.

== Bloodthirsty Parley ==
'' A sanguophage named '''''<PAWN NAME>''''' is looking for a safe place to meet with 3 other sanguophages where they won't be tracked. Their leader '''''<PAWN NAME>''''' is asking for you to host the meeting at '''''<COLONY NAME>'''''. If you accept, 4 sanguophages will arrive at '''''<COLONY NAME>''''' from different directions. They will spend several hours discussing their secret issues before departing. They promise to give you reward before they leave. You may betray the sanguophages and attack them. Downed sanguophages can be forced to turn one of your colonist into a sanguophage. ''

{{BiotechIcon}} [[Sanguophage]]s are looking to congregate at your colony. As a sanguophage quest, it will not appear until at least 1 year from colony start, and will have a 3 year cooldown between appearances.

When accepting this quest:
* Up to 4 sanguophages will arrive inside your colony, arriving in different directions where pathing isn't blocked (i.e. not mountain).
* They will reach a set location inside your base, and place a [[blood torch]]. After several hours they will leave. Sanguophages may choose to join your colony on their own volition.
* The sanguophages may be attacked by a [[raid]]. If any sanguophages are downed by the raiders, then the quest will fail.

The first reward will always be "Gene implantation"; the requested pawn can turn a colonist of your choice into a sanguophage. Be wary, they will not tarry for long and will leave 7 hours after meeting if you do not volunteer a colonist for it.

Sanguophages, unless you have picked the aforementioned gene option, will always start with the ''Genes Extracted'' hediff. If a sanguophage is downed, you can force them to give their genome, but this kills the original sanguophage in the process. If the gene implantation reward is picked, only the rewarder sanguophage will not have this status. In addition, any colonists that accepts a gene implantation will get ''Gene Extracted'' for ~1.2 years.

== Sanguophage Transport ==
'' You have intercepted a distress signal! A hostile shuttle carrying a sanguophage master and a number of thralls is having trouble with its engines. You can use the signals to draw it down to a crash near '''''<COLONY NAME>'''''. Once the ship has crashed, you can fight the sanguophage and his/her minions. If you can capture the master, you can force him/her to turn one of your colonist into a sanguophage. ''

{{BiotechIcon}} This quest will force a [[shuttle]] to crash on your colony, forcing a pawn with the [[sanguophage]] xenotype and a number of mortal thrall pawns to exit the [[crashed shuttle]]. As a sanguophage quest, it will not appear until at least 1 year from colony start, and will have a 3 year cooldown between appearances.

When accepting this quest:
* A shuttle crashes. After a while, the sanguophage will attack.
* During or after the attack, thrall reinforcements may appear via [[drop pod]]. They can land inside your base.
The reward is:
* The [[downed]] sanguophage (assuming that their brain isn't destroyed)
* The [[downed]] thralls
You can then decide what to do with the sanguophage:
* Force a downed sanguophage to give a [[Gene implanter|gene implantation]]. This allows you to turn one of your colonists into a sanguophage. You can also use them for other [[human resources]].
* If you imprison and then recruit the sanguophage, you can cast Implant genes with it.
'''Note:''' using this ability while the sanguophage's genes are still regrowing kills the sanguophage. Therefore, if you want to keep the sanguophage, it is worth waiting until the gene regrowth process finishes.

If [[Ideology]] is enabled, an [[Ideoligion]] with [[File:Cannibal.png|32px]] "Cannibal" as their main [[Ideoligion#Memes|meme]] will be created which will be set on all pawns that exits the shuttle.

== Wastepack Dumping ==
'' '''''<PAWN NAME>''''', '''''<PAWN TYPE>''''' of '''''<FACTION NAME>''''' has a special request. Someone has dumped an abundance of toxic wastepacks near one of his/her settlements and he/she is unable to safely store them. If you accept, '''''<PAWN NAME>''''' will deliver '''''<NUMBER>''''' toxic [[wastepack]] by transport pod. If not kept frozen, toxic wastepacks will dissolve over time, polluting nearby terrain. ''

{{BiotechIcon}} A faction is asking permission to dump toxic waste into your colony.

When accepting this quest:
* A set amount of [[toxic wastepack]]s are deployed near the edges of your colony.
The reward is given as soon as the wastepacks land. You can choose to store the wastepacks, send them somewhere else, or live with some [[pollution]] in your colony.

= Anomaly =
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Update with other Anomaly quests.}}

== Mysterious cargo ==
This quest can generate once at least 10 days have passed since game start, the Monolith is at at least level 1, and the storyteller can afford 200 [[raid points]]. Subsequent occurrences are subject to a 4-year cooldown.

A faction is asking permission to dump a dangerous item onto your map.

When accepting this quest, ''one'' of three items will be dropped:
* A [[unnatural corpse]],
* A [[revenant spine]], or
* A [[golden cube]].
The selection is random and all three are valid options with just a level 1 Monolith. This is the only way a cube or corpse can spawn without upgrading the Monolith to level 2. The reward is given as soon as the mysterious cargo lands.

If left uncontained, the spine will regenerate into a [[revenant]]. The spine can be carried to a [[holding platform]] to reform and resurrect the revenant in a containment cell.

When the golden cube lands, one (randomly chosen) pawn will develop a cube addiction.

== Distress signal ==
You've intercepted a distress signal from a nearby camp of a faction.

Upon reaching the camp, you will find it overrun with [[Fingerspike]]s, [[Toughspike]]s, and [[Trispike]]s. Members of the calling faction will be scattered around the map, dead. There are also unconfirmed reports of still-living faction members.{{Check Tag|Verify}}

The map will be partially covered in fleshmass, with [[flesh sack]]s and [[fleshbulb]]s as well. One of the fleshsacks will contain a [[shard]].

If possible, there will be at least 2 tiles between the camp and the player settlement on the [[world map]], but no more than 7. The faction chosen for the camp must be a humanlike faction that is not a permanent enemy. The quest also excludes factions that don't have a defined list of pawns to generate for purposes like combat, traders, or settlements. This excludes factions like [[ancients]], [[beggars]], or [[pilgrims]]. [[Empire]] can only be chosen if the quest has at least 2000 [[raid points]].

There is a 75% chance that an ambush will happen after arriving, causing more fleshbeasts to arrive from pit burrows. It will happen after anywhere between {{ticks|2400}} and {{ticks|4800}}.

This quest can generate even if the Monolith has not been activated.

=Endgame=
{{Spoiler}}
{{Main|Endings}}
There are 4 distinct ways to see the credits screen:
*Finding or building a ship to [[#Ship to the Stars|take you to the stars]]
*[[#Royal Ascent|Joining the court]] of the High Stellarch of [[Empire|the Empire]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}
*[[#The Archonexus|Awakening the archonexus]] {{IdeologyIcon}}
*Activating the [[Void_monolith|Void Monolith]] and either accepting or destroying it {{AnomalyIcon}}

==Ship to the Stars==
{{Main|Endings#Ship to the Stars}}

The A.I Charlon Whitestone has contacted you. If you can reach the journey offer and activate the ship, you can escape this hellish planet. The Ship to the Stars quest is functionally the same as constructing your own [[ship]]. This journey offer just gives you a way to leave the planet, without having to [[research]] and gather resources for that ship.

This quest appears roughly 20 days from game start.

'''Requirements:'''
* Travel to the journey offer. The journey offer will try to spawn as far away from you as possible. This means that this quest is much easier with 30% [[World_generation#Create_world|map coverage]] than with 100% coverage. Even in a 30% world, it can take months or years to reach the event destination.
* Prepare defenses and activate the [[ship reactor]], which takes 15 days. During this time, you will be assaulted by countless [[raid]]s - anywhere from 15 to 25 in total. This is completely independent from, and in addition to, your [[storyteller]], who will send their own raids on their normal schedule. This means that you should expect a ''minimum'' of 1 raid per day, often multiple.

Each colonist or animal requires their own [[ship cryptosleep casket]] to leave the planet, which may be desired on a personal level. The journey offer ship has space for 18 colonists.

'''Failure conditions:'''
* Destruction of any vital ship part. If you have the ability to create ship parts, then you can potentially repair the ship. However, if the [[ship reactor]] is destroyed, then you will need to start the 15 day activation process again.
* Doing [[#The Archonexus|The Archonexus]] chain of quests. Accepting the first part of the archonexus quest will invalidate the journey offer ("the ship will fly away as you're settling the new colony")

For tips on traveling to the journey offer and defending Whitestone's ship, see [[Endings#Ship to the stars|Endings]].

After the ship reactor has activated, all you have to do is load your colonists and escape the planet.

== Royal Ascent ==
{{Main|Endings#Royal Ascent}}

{{RoyaltyIcon}} The High Stellarch of the [[empire]] is willing to perform a customary visit to any [[noble]] of the Count rank or higher. If all goes well, then your colonists can leave to space via [[shuttle]].

This quest will appear roughly 35 days from colony start.

'''Requirements:'''
*Have a colonist of [[Titles#Count/Countess|Count]] rank and not be hostile to the [[empire]] faction.
*Have a spare bedroom suitable for a stellarch at the time of acceptance (see [[Titles#Table of Requirements]]). Your count must also have a suitable bedroom.
*House the High Stellarch for 12 days, a controllable guest. You can't just use a [[cryptosleep casket]] to preserve the stellarch until the end.
*Like the ship launch, you will be assaulted by a massive quantity of raiders during the 12 days.
*The High Stellarch must be kept above 25% average mood for the duration of his stay.

You will also receive 4 cataphract-level soldiers ([[Raiders#Empire|Stellic Wardens or Defenders]]). These soldiers can die without consequence. Like any other soldier guest, they will have the {{+|12}} ''On Duty'' [[mood]]let. However, some of them will be conceited nobles. This includes the ability to use [[psycast]]s.

'''Failure conditions:'''
*High Stellarch dies.
*High Stellarch mood is too low for too long.
*The [[empire]] faction becomes hostile to you.
Your count/countess does ''not'' have to stay alive in order succeed the quest.

The Royal Ascent quest will be offered again periodically if it is failed. It takes roughly 22 days from failure to get this quest again. This quest technically fails if you abandon the colony it asks for, but it will refire again.

If you've completed this quest, then a [[shuttle]] will come pick up the stellarch and your colonists into the imperial ranks. Note that while the shuttle UI has a limit of 1000kg, you can fit as many colonists as you want by selecting the colonist and right clicking "Get into shuttle".

==The Archonexus==
{{Main|Endings#The Archonexus}}

{{IdeologyIcon}} The [[archonexus core]] is waiting to be found. Gather 3 map fragments - each fragment given in exchange for your entire colony - and you can go activate it.

This quest first appears once you reach $150,000 colony [[wealth]].

'''Part 1''':

'' A group of wild people/'''''<FACTION NAME>''''' are/is looking to expand their territory, and are interested in taking over '''''<COLONY NAME>''''' with all its wealth. If you can increase your total wealth to $350000, they will take the settlement. In trade, they offer you part of a map showing the location of an ancient archotech nexus. '' - Part 1 Description

In order to accept this quest, you must have a colony [[wealth]] of $350,000 (in a single colony). If there is a valid alliable faction on the map, you must be allied with one in order to proceed.

When accepting this part of the quest:
*All progress will be reset. Research will be reset to industrial levels. Any colonies you had will be procured by the faction in question.
*You will start a new colony, anywhere on the map.
** You can bring 5 colonists, 5 [[animal]]s, 1 [[relic]], and 7 stacks of items. You can bring different amounts of different items; the list can be seen at [[Endings#List of items|List of items]]. In addition, you will start with supplies from your [[scenario]]. Food, equipment, but not building materials from scenario are given.
*Whitestone's ship for the [[#Ship to the Stars|Ship to the Stars]] quest will fly away, failing the actual quest. You can still build your own [[ship]], if so desired.

No time passes during the travel to the new location. Pregnant animals will have the same stage of pregnancy on arrival. Growing season at the destination might affect the player's timing for accepting the quest.

Once your colonists have landed in their new colony, the [[major archotech structure]] be present in the center of the map. It must be studied in order to continue.

'''Part 2''':

'' The map to the archonexus has three parts, and you hold one of them. '''''<FACTION A NAME>''''' and '''''<FACTION B NAME>''''' also each hold parts of the map. They'll trade their parts to you for a wealthy new colony and all of its recorded research. The next map part is encoded in a very strange way. In order to interpret it, you must first learn more about archotechnology by studying the structure here. '' - Part 2 Description

Like with the first part of this quest, you must have another colony at $350,000 wealth, be allied with a specific faction (if present). You must also study the major archotech structure.

When accepting this part of the quest:
*All progress will be reset. Research will be reset to industrial levels. Any colonies you had will be procured by the faction in question.
*You will start a new colony, anywhere on the map. Same items as last time.

On the third colony (2nd restart), you will have a [[grand archotech structure]] instead of a major archotech structure. This is functionally the same building, but you'll need to spend more time studying it.

'''Part 3''':

'' You have two parts of the archonexus map. '''''<FACTION B NAME>''''' have the last piece of the map, passed down from the time their ancestors survived the cataclysm. They'll give it to you if you give them a wealthy new colony in exchange. As before, the map part is encoded. In order to decode it, you must first study the archotech structure. '' - Part 3 Description

Like with the other parts of this quest, you must have another colony at $350,000 wealth, be allied with a specific faction (if present). You must also study the grand archotech structure.

'''Unlike the other parts of this quest, you don't need to restart the colony for a 3rd time. In order to activate the archonexus core, you will need a ''total'' of 3 colonies at $350,000 wealth and need to reset 2 times.'''

When accepting this part of the quest:
*Progress will ''not'' be reset. You must travel to the archonexus core, as indicated on the world map.
*Once you have reached the [[archonexus core]], all you have to do is activate it. There will be hostile [[mechanoid]]s, but these can be ignored.

Once activating the core, the game will end, permanently. You are unable to continue with colonists left behind, unlike the other endings. (However you can reload a previous save, if desired).

==Anomaly Monolith==
{{Main|Endings#The_Void}}
{{AnomalyIcon}} You've activated the monolith. It is a conduit for psychic energy, just barely cracked open now.

'''Entity Codex''':
{{Main|Anomaly_(DLC)#Entities}}
The quest starts upon activation of the monolith, the study of which is progressed by observing the different entities. Once a certain number of entities have been discovered, the monolith may be upgraded.

'''Activated Monolith/Void Onslaught.''':

When the monolith fully activates, the map will settle into eternal darkness and hordes of [[Entities]] will come to attack your colony.

'''Ending''':

A node will form above the monolith, and a colonist may be sent in to either disrupt the link or embrace the void.
{{Main|Endings#Embrace_the_void}} {{Main|Endings#Disrupt_the_link}}
*If the colonist accepts the void, They will gain the Void Touched and Inhumanization hediffs, as well as the abilities of Void Terror and Death Refusal.
*If the colonist disrupts the link, all (Non-permanently hostile) factions will gain 50 goodwill and void related incidents will return to pre-monolith levels
*Both endings will cause the monolith to crumble, and kill all entities on the map.

[[File:skills_preview.png|right]][[File:skill_increase_anim.gif|268px|right|Increasing skills of a colonist that's currently building something.]]
Every pawn in RimWorld has a set of '''skills''' which govern their speed and success in the various types of [[work]].

Performing certain jobs will award '''experience points''' (XP) towards improving a pawn's skill, reflected by their skill '''level'''. A pawn's skill levels can be viewed by selecting the pawn with the cursor, then navigating to the Bio tab in the pawn inspect pane.
Pawns may have a '''Passion''' for a skill which increases the rate of XP gain and [[mood]], represented by an adjacent fire symbol in the pawn's Bio menu. Conversely, a skill may be entirely prevented by a pawn's [[backstory]] or [[trait]]s, which is represented by " -- " dashes in place of the level number.

A high skill level will grant improved speed and success in relevant jobs, up to Level 20. A low skill level will result in slow, poor performance at a related job, including Construction failure, wild animal revenge, surgery failure, low harvest yields, or poor [[quality]] crafting products.

Possible pawn skills are Shooting, Melee, Construction, Mining, Cooking, Plants, Animals, Crafting, Artistic, Medical, Social, and Intellectual.

== Summary ==
{{see also|Training}}
Skills are improved by performing certain associated jobs, although some few related tasks do not provide skill experience. Performing these tasks will earn the character experience points either per task completed or per second they are pursuing that task, both of which will eventually level up the skill. The resulting higher skill level then improves the performance in all associated tasks and types of work. Skills are leveled up individually, and there is no single "character level" as in many role playing games.

In some cases, special management tactics can be employed to more effectively or specifically steer the skill training in the colony, especially during periods of low work in colony development. See the [[Training|main article on skill training]] for more information.

=== Skills vs work types ===
Skills and work types (or "tasks") are two different, but related, concepts. In some cases, like "mine" (work type) and "mining" (skill), there is an almost perfect correspondence, but in many other cases there is not: the ''work types'' "tailor" and "smith", for example, are associated with the ''crafting skill''. Some tasks listed on the work tab do not even have an associated ''skill'' (eg. "haul", "clean" and "firefight").

The ''Work'' tab, where you assign tasks to colonists, indicates which skills are relevant for a given task (by mousing over a tick box). It also shows you if the colonist has a ''passion'' for those skills (with an icon in the tick box), and if a significant proficiency has already been acquired (by emphasizing the tick box border). Lower skill pawns have their work box darker, and higher skill pawns have it lighter. Extremely proficient pawns have a golden box. When assigning work to a pawn with low skill in a certain job, the box will have a red outline. Passions appear as extremely small flames at the bottom-right hand side of the work box. All these aspects are important for deciding how to assign tasks and types of work.

In general, you want colonists to perform tasks they are ''good at'' (it is productive for your colony), as well as tasks they are ''passionate for'' (improves the associated skill faster and also keep them happy while working).

=== Improving skills ===
{{Rewrite|section=1|reason=1) Other things affect GLF now, and table no longer accounts for every possible combination of GLF and passion 2) [[Ideoligion#Ranching]] precept inc effect and order of operations}}
Skill leveling in ''RimWorld'' is very similar to many role playing games: ''experience points'' are constantly earned, and the skill is ''leveled up'' when certain thresholds are reached. Importantly, the effect of a skill improves ''by level'', but it costs more and more XP to gain another level in a skill. This means that '''skill training is more effective the lower the skill level is.'''

When a player pawn gains a new level in a skill, a text mote will be displayed.

Experience points are generally gained at consistent rate per unit [[time]] - that is, while the rate may vary from one task to another, when performing a given task the only other factor is the time spent doing it. As higher skill levels often increase the speed a pawn performs tasks, this means that more tasks must be performed to spend the same amount of time working and thus gain the same amount of XP. This is not true for all tasks however, and some will simply give a lump sum of experience for each task completed.

Regardless of how XP is gained, it is multiplied by Passion and [[Global Learning Factor]] in the following way:

<code>Real XP gained = Global Learning Factor x [[Skills#Passion|Passion Multiplier]] x Base XP gained </code>

Additionally, there is a soft cap of 4000 '''net''' XP gained per day per skill. Any XP gains past this point are multiplied by 20%.{{Check Tag|Clarify|How does this work for chunks of experience? If some action were assigned to give a lump sum of 5000 experience, would a pawn gain the full 5000, or would the pawn gain 4200?}} This cap resets a few seconds after midnight. Any XP losses will apply against the net gain (e.g. if a pawn were to gain 4500 XP, but lose 1000, they would still remain 500 XP under the cap). Experience from [[Skilltrainer]]s does not apply to this cap, nor is it affected by the 20% multiplier.

==== Passion ====
Passion for a given skill is indicated by the presence of flame icons next to the skill experience bar on the character's [[Bio]] tab. These passions increases the rate at which a pawn learns specific skills, and may provide them a [[mood]] boost when performing activities related to the skill. Skill gains from using a [[skilltrainer]] are influenced by ''passion'', making the item more valuable when used by characters with a passion for the associated skill. Typically, passion cannot be gained or lost in an adult pawn's lifetime, however [[children]]{{BiotechIcon}} may gain passions at [[Children#Growth moments|growth moments]] and the addition or removal of [[Genes#Aptitudes|Skill Aptitude xenogenes]]{{BiotechIcon}} can also affect passions.{{Check Tag|Incapable of?|What happens to passions on a suppressed skill when a pawns becomes incapable? Some tasks that use that skill can still be performed, despite the incapability and its effects are needed}}

The three levels of passion are:
{|
|-
| || '''''None: ''''' ||  No flames. 35% multiplier on experience gain. This is the most common passion level.
|-
| [[File:PassionMinor.png|24px|left]] || '''Interested: ''' ||  One flame. 100% multiplier on experience gain and +8 mood ("Minor passion for my work") while performing related tasks.
|-
| [[File:PassionMajor.png|24px|left]] || '''Burning: ''' ||  Two flames. 150% multiplier on experience gain and +14 mood ("Burning passion for my work") while performing related tasks.
|}

==== Global Learning Factor ====
{{See also|Global Learning Factor}}

A pawn has a default Global Learning Factor of 100%. Some traits, implants, Genes, and Hediffs can effect Global Learning Factor as an Offset, or a factor. Offsets are added to the base value of 100%. Then, the sum is multiplied by any applicable factors. For example, a pawn with the Fast Learner trait and a Learning Assistant implant has a final Global Learning Factor of 195%.

'''Offsets'''
* [[Too smart|Too Smart]] trait: {{+|75%}}, while also inflicting a penalty to [[Mental Break Threshold|mental break threshold]].
* [[Fast learner|Fast Learner]] trait: {{+|75%}}
* [[Slow learner|Slow Learner]] trait: {{--|75%}}
* [[Learning assistant]] implant {{RoyaltyIcon}}: {{+|20%}}

=== Decay ===
Beyond skill level 10, XP points are continuously drained away. A skill level is lost only after falling to 0 XP points, and then losing a further 1000 points, preventing repeated level loss and gain right around a level threshold. Experience decay is strictly calculated based on the current skill level and is not directly affected by skill use; Instead, gained XP simply cancels out loss, and vice versa.

XP decays at an accelerated rate with higher skill levels. This means that all XP earned after 55,000 total XP (level 10) effectively has less value, especially for skills that a colonist does not use frequently, because it will disappear. In most cases, XP is gained by ''time spent'' on a skill, and not by effective work performed: Working faster does not make it easier or faster to gain XP, or compensate the decay loss. Level 20 (max level) is very difficult to acquire, usually only achievable by colonists solely dedicated to a single profession.

The [[Traits#Great memory|Great Memory]] trait halves the skill decay rate for a pawn. Pawns with the [[Traits#Perfect memory|Perfect memory]] trait, which is only found on [[Creepjoiner|Creepjoiners]] {{AnomalyIcon}}, will not experience any skill decay at all.

=== Skill point acquisition strategy ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Need at least simple introduction on which jobs and skills benefit from experts vs more hands and why - e.g. cooks beyond skill 9 = More hands, plant harvesting and crafting = experts.}}
The above implies that on average it is better to spread out the skill training over several colonists instead of having only one "expert", except for the artisan professions where it is usually good to have true experts in the colony.

For example, you need to acquire about 150,000 XP to make one colonist a "region-known master" (level 16); the same amount of XP would be enough to have ''three'' colonists at level 9 ("solid professional"). This avoids the risk of losing the only pawn that is capable of the task, and in most cases three level-9 workers are better than a single level-16 expert. Creating anything [[quality]] is a notable exception to this.

=== Experience table ===
Level 20 is the highest skill level achievable for a pawn.

Note that these values are considered before gene levels (exp) if a pawn with good (skill) wants to go from level 4 to 5, they need 1000 skill exp points

== List of skills ==

Using or applying skills will give ''experience'' in the skill, and improve the character's proficiency. How much experience is gained depends on the ''passion'' for the skill. See [[Skills#Passion|passion]] below.

On this page, where experience gains are listed, an "Interested" passion with 100% skill gain is assumed. Note that this is not the "default" passion; "no passion" at 35% gain is far more common.

=== Animals ===
{{For|a list of skills that animals can learn|Animals#Training}}
The ''animals'' skill determines how well a character handles wild and domesticated animals, and increases the chance to go undetected while ''hunting'' wild animals.

Higher ''animals'' skill has the following benefits:
* Chance to tame a wild animal increases. Some animals can not even be attempted to be tamed if the ''animals'' skill is too low.
* Chance to successfully train a domesticated animal increases.
* Animal handling, such as ''milking'' and ''shearing'' certain livestock, becomes more efficient, with a lower chance of wasting products.
* Mastering an animal, as in having it follow you and obey your commands, becomes possible for more animal races. The more ''wild'' a race is, the higher the ''animals'' skill required to be assigned its master.
* It becomes less likely for a colonist hunting an animal to be detected by the animal, and the animal retaliating. It still requires ''shooting'' skill for the colonist to be able to kill the animal.

| ?Description

}}

=== Artistic ===
The ''artistic'' skill is the proficiency to create [[beauty|beautiful]] works of art at an [[art bench]].

Higher skill increases the chance for a higher quality, in this case more beautiful, sculpture. Note that higher skill levels do not increase the speed of creating sculptures.

The beauty and market value of sculptures increases tremendously at the highest quality levels. Combined with the fact that trade partners pay more for works of art compared to other items, this makes ''artistic'' a useful skill outside of decorating the home base.

Not very useful in the early game, but once you have a well-established colony, having a permanent artist would be beneficial to it.

=== Construction ===
The ''construction'' skill governs a wide variety of colonist tasks, centered around creating structures in the game world; it is an essential skill in any colony:
* Making all kinds of structures, like furniture, walls, power lines and spaceship parts. If a structure can be placed on the ground in form of a blueprint, its construction is usually facilitated by this skill. Many structures require a minimum skill to make.
* Deconstructing existing structures back into raw materials.
* Building and tearing down roofs.
* Laying and removing flooring, like carpet, concrete and stone tiles.
* Smoothing rock walls and stone floors.

Higher ''construction'' skill will
* allow the construction of more difficult to build structures.
* increase construction speed; the base speed at 0 construction skill is 50%, this is increased additively by 15% for every skill level.
* reduce the chance of a construction effort to be "botched", which will result in some resources going to waste, and require the construction effort to be restarted (ie. all work is wasted). The base chance of success is 75%, increasing by about 3% per skill level to 100% at skill level 8.
* increase the chance to make higher quality items, for items that have a quality rating, such as furniture.

Construction outcomes are influenced by the [[manipulation]] and [[sight]] capacities of the colonist.

Experience is gained continuously while working on a construction project. At 100% work speed this seems to translate to roughly 82 experience per point of work required.

=== Cooking ===
The cooking skill affects how long it takes to cook [[meals]] and butcher dead creatures, as well as the [[Food Poison Chance]] for the person who eats the meal. It also affects [[Butchery Speed]] and [[Butchery Efficiency]], how much meat is produced when butchering.

Cooking and butchering increase cooking skill. It is also trained by making [[smokeleaf joint]]s at a drug lab and cooking [[psychite tea]] at a campfire or stove.

A Cooking skill of {{Q|Lavish meal|Skill 1 Level}} is required to be able to cook every item, a skill of 9 achieves the minimum [[Food Poison Chance]], and a skill of 10 gives maximum [[Butchery Efficiency]] - assuming a healthy but otherwise unaugmented pawn. Levels above this only increase the speed of tasks.

=== Crafting ===
The crafting skill affects the creation of many of the items under the [[Work#Smith|smith]], [[Work#Tailor|tailor]] and [[Work#Craft|craft]] work types. It does so in two ways; crafting quality and minimum crafting levels.

A pawn's Crafting skill is a driving factor in the [[Quality]] of produced [[Clothing]], [[Armor]], and [[Weapons]]. The quality of things such as [[Sculptures]] and [[Buildings]] are instead controlled by the [[#Artistic|Artistic]] and [[#Construction|Construction]] skills respectively.

The speed of production for these tasks is unrelated to Crafting level, however, and is instead completely dependent on a pawn's [[General Labor Speed]] and the amount of labor required in the bill.

Many work [[bill|bills]] of the [[Work#Smith|Smith]], [[Work#Tailor|Tailor]] and [[Work#Craft|Craft]] work types have a required minimum Crafting skill level. This restricts the creation of some items to skilled crafters regardless of their possible quality.

The Crafting skill also determines the time required to shred [[mechanoid]]s, and the amount of resources produced from doing so.

=== Medical ===
{{Main|Doctoring}}

The ''Medical'' skill level is the main factor for medical treatment quality and speed, surgery speed and surgery success chance.

Low quality treatment will increase the chance of [[infection]], and the likelihood of permanent health conditions such as ''scars'', in turn leading to chronic pain. Certain scars cause more than 10% pain, permanently weakening the ''consciousness'' of the patient, which reduces their work performance.

Medical ''surgery'', if not successful, can fail in minor or major ways, even causing the death of the patient. The success rate is not only determined by the ''medical'' skill, but also other character stats like ''manipulation'', ''eye sight'' and ''consciousness''. It is not advisable to let an incapacitated doctor perform surgery.

Higher grade [[medicine]] and medical equipment like [[hospital bed]]s and a [[sterile tile|sterile]] environment significantly boost the effectiveness of all medical treatments, independent of the skill level of the doctor.

Medical skill can be trained very quickly by performing euthanasia on fast-breeding animals such as chickens. This costs 1 medicine per procedure, but only requires [[herbal medicine]]. The procedure can be scheduled in the respective animal's ''health'' tab, and an animal sleeping spot must be available to perform the euthanasia.

Performing ''surgery'' trains the ''medical'' skill. The amount of XP that is awarded only depends on the duration of the procedure (varying by procedure and ''medical operation speed'' of the surgeon).

=== Melee ===
The melee skill determines a characters' effectiveness with [[melee weapons]] namely, their chance to:
* Land a hit in melee (''see [[Melee Hit Chance]]'')
* Dodge a melee attack, when not aiming or firing a ranged weapon (''see [[Melee Dodge Chance]]'')
The tables below are post-processed chances for a healthy pawn.

=== Shooting ===
The shooting skill affects a character's [[Shooting Accuracy|accuracy]] with [[ranged weapons]].

The table below shows post-processed shooting accuracy per tile of distance for each skill level and trait combination, assuming the pawn is healthy:

Note that shooting accuracy for the pawn is calculated '''per tile''', meaning that while a trivial increase (like 1% or so) in shooting accuracy may not matter up close, it can make a huge difference in long distances.

For example:
*A colonist with shooting accuracy of 99% has a base accuracy of 72.5% against a target 32 tiles away.
*With 98% accuracy, the base accuracy against the same target becomes only 52.4%.

The base accuracy at various distances are listed when you check the information of a pawn. This can show the actual shooting performance of a pawn, especially at long ranges.

=== Social ===
The social skill affects the impact of social interactions on other characters' mood, the impact of gifts on faction relations, the recruitment chance for prisoners and trader prices.
A small amount of experience is gained every time two colonists have a social interaction with each other. Characters have a [[talking]] stat that somehow interacts with this skill

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.0.245|0.0.245]] - Skills now cap at 20. Added cooking, medicine, artistic, crafting but currently do nothing. Rebalanced shooting and melee to make skill more important. Shooting accuracy split into misses due to equipment and misses due to skill.
* [[Version/0.2.363|0.2.363]] - High level skills now decay. Passions system added.
* [[Version/0.9.722|0.9.722]] - Old pawns now tend to spawn with higher skills. Low skill cooks can now cause food poisoning.
* [[Version/0.10.785|0.10.785]] - Passion flames are now displayed subtly on the work overview screen. Reduced skill degradation rate. Reworked how skills generate so there will be more initial skill variation and age affect starting skills more.
* [[Version/0.12.906|0.12.906]] - Animals skill added.
* B19/1.0 - Doing passionate work now affects mood instead of recreation. Adjusted balance of learning rates for various skills. Easier: Melee, shooting, social. Harder: Intellectual, growing, mining.
* [[Version/1.2.2753|1.2.2753]] - Pawns will now not lose their skill levels until they fall 1000 XP under zero. This stops pawns from quickly leveling up and down around a threshold. We now display a text mote when a player pawn gains a new level in a skill.
* [[Version/1.4.3527|1.4.3527]] - Fix: Can train shooting and melee on colony mechanoids.
