Template:Obelisk Analysis/doc

2026-08-09T21:41:31Z

Harakoni:

Just standardizes the spiel about obelisks.

It uses the pagename.

== Examples ==
<pre>{{Obelisk Analysis}}</pre>
produces:
{{Obelisk Analysis}}

Template:Obelisk Analysis

2026-08-09T21:39:25Z

Harakoni:

<includeonly>Like all obelisks, the pawn studying and suppressing the {{PAGENAME}} should be the pawn intended to receive its effect, not necessarily the main researcher. This is to take advantage of the random interaction effect when suppressing or studying.

Counterintuitively, neither the [[intellectual]] skill, the [[entity study rate]], nor the [[research speed]] significantly affect on the speed of dark study of the obelisk due to the 2-day cooldown. The only things that affect this speed is the [[study efficiency]], how quickly you study after the cooldown expires, and the obelisk's activity level. This means the best possible, but very risky, study speed for the obelisk is to study it at 99% activity level, suppress it down to 59%, and come back exactly 2 days later to study it again at 99%. This method gives 2 advanced/day research points, before the effect of the studying pawn's [[study efficiency]] and the AI storyteller's [[AI Storytellers#Study efficiency|Study efficiency]] setting which varies by [[difficulty]].

Once 2 points of research have been earned from an obelisk a event notification will be triggered with following the flavor text:
:''"Investigation of the obelisk has revealed some information. It is an archotechnological device that seems to interact with organic creatures at a distance. It is probably a piece of a much larger archotech structure that was destroyed or broken apart long ago. The machinery at its core is inhumanly complex and frighteningly powerful. Its purpose and method of action remain totally mysterious. If not suppressed, its activity level will increase over time. You can't tell what will happen when the device fully activates."''</includeonly><noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude>

File:Mechshipkillbox001.jpg

2026-08-09T21:25:59Z

Harakoni: /* Summary */

== Summary ==
an improvised killbox area around psychic ship, a single pawn with frag grenades is enough to destroy it in solo, however a backup group of shooters is always better. One pawn opens the door, while the rest are shooting/throwing grenades at the ship, mechs wouldn't have much time to fire back because the wooden door will close pretty quick (do NOT hold it open), the mini corridor with a barricade next to the door is enough for basic protection, 2-3 walls thick mini corridor is for the straight line of fire for your colonists, (they can only see the ship, no mechs by sides), it also prevents wandering mechs from both sides to casually shoot your colonists. When the ship is destroyed the mechanoids will start smashing your walls, you will have time to go back to your primary killbox.

p.s. if the corridor/tunnel is longer than 4 blocks the grenades will clip/stick to the walls, you do not want this.
* If you try to build in this red square the mechs will wake up, it's 5x5 square radius with a sleeping mech at the center, avoid building in this zone.

=== Planet types ===
Note that planet types are not necessarily mutually exclusive, and a given planet may fit several separate categories.

{| {{STDT|sortable}}
|-
! Name !! Description
|- id="Deadworld"
! Deadworld
| Distinct from [[#Deathworld|deathworlds]], these are planets which have not been significantly contacted by humans. Generally not inhabitable. All planets are like this before people arrive for the first time.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/>
|- id="Deathworld"
! Deathworld
| Distinct from [[#Deadworld|deadworlds]] and sometimes spelled as '''Death-world''', the meaning of the term deathworld appears to correlate with the common usage of the term in science fiction discussion - namely a planet that is technically habitable but incredibly hostile to human life. [[#Impids|Impids]] are described as originally being designed for "''dry deathworlds''",<ref>[[Impid]] [[xenotype]] description and short description</ref> while [[#Wasters|wasters]] are designed for "''post-apocalyptic deathworlds''".<ref>[[Waster]] [[xenotype]] description and short description</ref> [[Books]] about the [[Research#Battery|Battery research]] can reference an "''acid lake on the leaden shores of a deathworld worked as a natural battery''".<ref>[[Research#Battery|Battery research]] subject_story strings.</ref> [[#Creticon|Creticon]] is described a "''blasted death-world''" while it is further described in code-comments as "''[...] a high-tech death-world''",<ref name="Ideology Places"/> while [[#Ilwaba|Ilwaba]] is described in code-comments as a "''regrown deathworld''",<ref name="Ideology Places"/> however the canonicity of such comments is unclear.The disparate natures of these examples support the concept that why a deathworld is hostile to human life is not important to the definition, only that it is hostile. Despite the difficulty of living on these planets, some are still inhabited - [[Books]] about the [[Research#Tox gas|Tox gas research]]{{BiotechIcon}} can reference the author "''research[ing] cloud control tech for the tyrannocracy of a deathworld''",<ref>[[Research#Tox gas|Tox gas research]] subject_story strings.</ref> which implies not only people living on the planet, but a system of government. [[#Zartza|Zartza]], [[#Rayth|Rayth]], [[#Spectra|Spectra]], [[#JNovahex|JNovahex]], [[#Carthago|Carthago]], and [[#Grimcore|Grimcore]] are also referenced as being deathworlds.<ref name="Book descriptions"/>
|- id="Animal world"
! Animal world
| Planets with no people. Either everyone died, or the planet was seeded with plant and animal life by terraforming robots and nobody arrived.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/> It is apparently not exclusive with an [[#Dino-world|Dino-world]] which may, in fact, be a subtype of this category.<ref name="Book descriptions"/>
|- id="Medieval world"
! Medieval worlds
| Similar to Earth from the agricultural revolution until the industrial revolution. Social structures are usually feudal or imperial. Planets can stay in this state for millennia.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/>
|- id="Steamworld"
! Steamworld
| Similar to Earth in the 19th century. Often this state is short-lived, as societies develop into midworlds, but it can be very stretched out depending on culture and government structure.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/>
|- id="Midworld"
! Midworld
| Worlds whose people have mastered flight, but not cheap interplanetary travel. Earth is in this stage in the 21st century.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/>
|- id="Urbworld"
! Urbworld
| Super-high density planets dominated by cities. Urbworlds’ population growth outstripped their social and technological development, so they tend to be overcrowded, polluted, violent places. The people here are often callous towards strangers. This is often the outcome for midworlds that see their demographic transition into lower birth reversed by dysgenic reproduction patterns.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/> Urbworlds can build mechanoids. <ref name="Keuneke">Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Markus Keuneke|Markus 'Keuneke' Keuneke]]</ref>Some urbworlds have worldwide cities ruled by corporations. <ref name="Coffey">Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Darius Coffey|Darius Coffey]]</ref>Urbworlds can be ancient - some even have greedy nobility in spire palaces while cannibal cults exist in the deepest reaches of the underground hive. <ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Skye Lorne|Skye 'Skye' Lorne]]</ref>
|- id="Glitterworld"
! Glitterworlds
| The most technologically advanced societies that can be led by humans. Swaddled in comforts by the strong arms of technology, glitterworlds are the peak of recognizable human society in terms of art, health, and generous human rights. Common people from these planets often lack grit and are very trusting in people and technology.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/> Likely synonmous with '''glitter-tech world'''.<ref>Ideology Places.xml - Rogia entry</ref> Glitterworlds are mostly free of disease and human suffering, and surgeons employed there mostly perform elaborate and creative cosmetic surgeries, and never have to remove a cancer or a bullet.<ref>Glitterworld surgeon Backstory</ref> While glitterworlds are peaceful places and some units rarely see action, they often remain prepared for war.<ref>Glitterworld Officer Backstory</ref> Despite this tendency towards peace, some glitterworlds do field space navies and engage in active campaigns against enemy cultures.<ref name="Nerhesi"/> On some glitterworlds all menial work was done by robots and people devoted themselves to leisure.<ref>Biosphere Manager Backstory</ref> This extends to some technical fields as well, such as AI handling all the technical aspects of architecture, allowing architects to focus on artistic expression <ref>Architect Backstory</ref> This is not universal however, as others still had humans washing dishes in restaurants<ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Stijn Gezink|Stijn 'Stin' Gezink]]</ref> Farms are operated on some glitterworlds, though all but rare exceptions have abandoned traditional farming methods for glitterworld technologies.<ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Pete Holiday|Pete Holiday]]</ref>Glitterworld police forces were often equipped with [[recon armor]]<ref>[[Recon armor]] description</ref> and [[Recon helmet|helmets]].<ref>[[Recon helmet]] description</ref> Some glitterworlds have mechanoid companions for children,<ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Erisen Irioth|Erisen 'Erisen' Irioth]]</ref> or as workers.<ref name="Rogia">Ideology Places.xml - Rogia entry</ref> At least some Glitterworlds apparently remain capitalist, as attending their universities can leave a person in enormous debt,<ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Caitlin Stirr|Caitlin 'Cait' Stirr]]</ref> and corporations exist.<ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Ryan Michael|Ryan 'Legend' Michael]]</ref><ref name="Brazil">Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Jhet Whistler|Jhet 'Brazil' Whistler]]</ref> At least some Glitterworlds were monarchic, with royal households that would intermarry with the royal families of other planets.<ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Xiao Li|Xiao 'Ally' Li]]</ref> See also: Sophiamunda and the Empire for information about a specific glitterworld society.
|- id="Rimworld"
! Rimworlds
| Planets lacking in strong central government and low in population density. These places tend to hover around the industrial level of technology or lower. Because they’re not homogenized by a central government, they tend to see a lot of interaction between people of different technology levels, as travelers crash-land or ancient communities stumble out of their cryptosleep vaults. These planets are often at the rim of known space, hence the name.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/>
|- id="Coreworld"
! Coreworld
| Based on the name, may be the worlds that form the astrographical or political core of human civilization, perhaps including Earth and other early colonies. Alternatively, may be worlds located in the galactic core or some other definition. In the now non-canon [[#RimWorld Universe Quick Primer (Obsolete)|RimWorld Universe Quick Primer]], coreworlds and rimworlds were instead defined in opposition to each other. Coreworlds were those planets in the galactic core whose social and technological development benefited from the clustering of stars, and thus other cultures, in the core. Rimworlds were in turn those planets outside the core and thus further from neighbours.<ref name="RimWorld Universe Quick Primer">[[#RimWorld Universe Quick Primer (Obsolete)|RimWorld Universe Quick Primer]]</ref> However, with the new canon definition for rimworld, it's likely that this definition of core and rimworlds has been become non-canon, probably because the galactic core is significantly beyond the 1200 light year wide canonical expansion of humanity.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/> Possibly synonymous with planets in the 'core region', which includes at least one glitterworld.<ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Candice Roughchild|Candice Roughchild]]</ref> Appear to be relatively advanced and stable, with at least midworld level surgical capabilities,<ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Alyssa Orchard|Alyssa 'Sparkles' Orchard]]</ref> planetary governments,<ref name="Anarchist">Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Mike Mudgett|Mike 'Anarchist' Mudgett]]</ref> and sufficient competent military forces to push out both anarchists<ref name="Anarchist"/> and fairly large mercenary forces.<ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Aznable Coal|Aznable 'Reikguard' Coal]]</ref>
|- id="Toxic world"
! Toxic world
| Worlds destroyed by pollution, chemical or nuclear warfare, but still inhabitable at a low level, with sufficient technology.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/> Toxic may have a limited definition, or may only relate to Humans, as some toxic worlds are overgrown with hostile plant life.<ref name="Johs">Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Johs Barrowlocht|Johs 'Johs' Barrowlocht]]</ref>
|- id="Glassworld"
! Glassworld
| Worlds utterly destroyed by high-energy weapons of mass destruction. They’re nicknamed ‘marbles’ because their surfaces have been “glassed”. Nuclear weapons aren’t enough to glass a planet, so this level of destruction is rare. On some of these worlds, people can walk outdoors for a time without dying. None of them harbour permanent life bigger than a paramecium.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/>
|- id="Transcendent world"
! Transcendent world
| It’s a stretch to call these entities worlds, since they resemble giant computers more than they resemble planets. The mechanics of these planets is mysterious, but many scholars believe transcendents are the outcome when a sovereign archotech decides to incorporate a whole planet into itself.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/>
|- id="Indworld"
! Indworlds
| Distinct from [[#Industrial worlds|industrial worlds]], these are worlds undergoing their industrial revolution.<ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Victoria Louene|Victoria 'Vicky' Louene]]</ref>
|- id="Industrial world"

|- id="Farming planet"
! Farming planet
| Worlds devoted predominantly to farming. Not necessarily technologically backwards, with some using automated machinery that grow and harvest the multitude of crops. <ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Conlay Shen|Conlay Shen]]</ref> Likely synonymous with '''farm-worlds'''.<ref>Ideology Places.xml - Filson entry</ref>
|- id="Prison planet"
! Prison planet
| Worlds where convicts are condemned to remove malefactors from society. <ref name="Jay">Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Jered Martin|Jered 'Jay' Martin]]</ref>
|- id="Feudal world"
! Feudal world
| Multi-planet feudal empires besides the [[Empire]] exist. <ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Frank Laquinto|Frank 'Isimiel' Laquinto]]</ref>
|- id="Trash planet"
! Trash planets
| Dumping grounds for surrounding glitterworlds <ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Xandarian Stalzer|Xandarian 'Xandy' Stalzer]]</ref>
|- id="Junkyard planet"
! Junkyard planet
| Apparently self-descriptive. Possibly synonymous with trash planets as they are ostensibly similar titles and [[#Bagua 5|Bagua 5]] is defined as both in different places, however given the name possibly differentiated by being intended to allow salvage and scrapping rather than simply dumping.<ref>Ideology Places.xml - Bagua 5 entry</ref>
|- id="Iceworld"
! Iceworld
| Apparently self-descriptive. Plants are rare. <ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Slivaki Warts|Slivaki 'Sliverwar' Warts]]</ref>
|- id="Dino-world"
! Dino-world
| Apparently self-descriptive - worlds inhabited by dinosaurs and other megafauna, likely resurrected through genetic engineering. Mentioned species of a single example dino-world include: ankylosaurs, blue mammoths, and novoraptors.<ref name="Zoutera">Ideology Places.xml - Zoutera entry</ref>It is apparently not exclusive with an [[#Animal world|Animal world]] and may, in fact, be a subtype of that category.<ref name="Book descriptions"/>
|- id="War-world"
! War-worlds
| Worlds stuck in an endless cycle of war. These planets are typically over polluted due to constant usage of bombs and chemical weapons.<ref>Ideology Places.xml - Kemia entry</ref>
|- id="Mineral-planet"

|- id="Oceanic planet"
! Oceanic planet
| Apparently self-descriptive.<ref name="Ideology Places">Ideology Places.xml</ref>
|- id="Other worlds"
! ''Other worlds''
| Beyond these categories, there are many exceptional planets in strange states created by their peculiar social and technological evolutions. Given the scale and age of the universe, there is a lot of time and space for a lot of very strange situations to develop.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/>

* '''Perfect mates''' - Genetically-engineered on glitterworlds, are fertile and capable of producing children.<ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Chaz Serir|Chaz 'Chaz' Serir]]</ref> Their relation to vatgrown and highmates is currently unknown, however a currently unused backstory in the gamefiles states they, or at least some, are vatgrown in hyper-expensive clinics to serve the tastes of a specific client. They are engineered, raised and trained as a perfect pleasure-giving mate, with ''"learned skills that would baffle even the most seductive baseline human lovers"''. The canonicity of these statements are also currently unknown.
* '''G-nome Project''' - A Genetic engineering project that created humans implanted at birth with encyclopedic knowledge of all aspects of xenobiology. Presumably on a Glitterworld.

* '''Clone-farming''' - Clone children are seeded into nutrient-rich womb-vats and rapidly grown in a simmed (i.e. VR) universe. They're harvested later, sometimes for food, sometimes for organs, sometimes for workers - but they're always disposable. Harvesting the products of clone farms is mostly done by the clones themselves - particularly to those whose sims tended towards the social. <ref>Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Dan Griliopoulos|Dan 'Grill' Griliopoulos]]</ref>
* '''Online hiveminds''' - Worldwide system that sacrifices the peoples individuality to join together in an online hivemind.<ref>Urbworld Rebel Backstory</ref>

* '''Glitterpedia''' - A glitterworld technology through which glitterpedia recorders document information.<ref name="Codex">Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Ang Gao|Ang 'Codex' Gao]]</ref> Likely analogous to Wikipedia.
* '''Eltex''' - A material, threads of which can be embedded in [[prestige armor|specialized armor]] or [[eltex|clothing]] to enhance the wearer's psychic sensitivity.<ref>[[Prestige armor]] descriptions</ref> It is technically indeterminate whether it is responsible for improving neural heat dissipation, however as eltex is the only noted difference between prestige armors and their standard variants it is likely the case. It is possible that eltex is simply one of, or the most significant of, the "special psychic focusing materials" mentioned in the description of eltex clothing.<ref>[[Eltex]] item descriptions</ref>

{{Quote|Despite millennia of effort by our best human minds, and even the most powerful archotechs, nobody has managed to make anything go faster than light.| Current Canon Cryptosleep briefing}}

The current canon of RimWorld is that there is no faster-than-light travel, even in the hands of the otherwise incomprehensibly advanced [[archotech]]s. However, the existence of certain in-game mechanics bring this into question. Most relevant to this discussion are skipping [[psycasts]] from [[Royalty]].

=== Skipping ===
"Skip" is a term used to describe the in-universe mechanism to teleport moving things from a spot to another. These effects typically share audiovisual cues and come from a variety of sources.

The [[Royalty DLC]] originally introduced the concept of skipping, and featured a class of psycasts with blue ability icons that similar teleportation mechanics;. These psycasts includes [[Chunk skip]], [[Solar pinhole]], [[Waterskip]], [[Chaos skip]], [[Smokepop]], [[Skip]], [[Wallraise]], [[Flashstorm]], [[Mass chaos skip]], [[Farskip]] and [[Skipshield]].

The [[Anomaly DLC]] added further examples, including the following which explictly uses the same in-universe mechanism of action:
* The "skip abduction" [[psychic ritual]] skips its victim to the psychic ritual spot, often from a great distance.
The DLC also further mechanics that share similar, if not identical, audiovisual effects with skip-type psycasts, implying that they likely have the same mechanism of function:
* The [[void monolith]], [[noctolith]], [[metalhorror]], [[nociosphere]], [[golden cube]], [[unnatural corpse]], and [[void structure]] can all teleport into your colony as their entry method.
* Skipping is the only method a [[nociosphere]] uses to move itself around.{{Check Tag|Is this explicitly called skipping?}}
* Crushing the golden cube with [[collapsed rocks]] causes it to teleport itself away.
* The [[unnatural corpse]] can teleport itself to its target to haunt or hypnotize them.
* The [[warped obelisk]] rapidly teleport very large amount of items and pawns in and out of the [[labyrinth]] while it is operating.
* The [[gray statue]] teleport pawns around the labyrinth internally.
* The void monolith can teleport pawns to the [[metal hell]], and the [[void node]] later teleport them out of there.

=== Skip and farskip ===
Both skip and farskip moves the targets seemingly instantaneously. For farskip this is to a point that could feasibly be anywhere on the planet, so long as willing ally is there to act as a "navigation beacon". While both psycasts do have a casting time, the targets don't move during this time and instead only travel after the time is complete. Therefore, that is not sufficient to dismiss the argument of FTL travel. As farskip has the longer range, it will be the focus for reasons that will be become apparent.

At its widest point, the Earth's diameter 12,756 kilometers. Assuming the rimworld is similarly sized to Earth, then this is the maximum distance a farskip can travel, point to point. Traveling this distance at the speed of light would take 42.55 milliseconds. Time in RimWorld is sped up, with a full 24 hour day only taking 16 minutes and 40 seconds. So from the player's perspective, this 42.55 ms of in-game time would only appear as {{#expr: 42.55* ((16 + 40/60)/(24 * 60)) round 2}} ms.

Unlikely as this is due to none of the other effects of being on so large a planet would have being present, if the rimworld is not Earth sized and was instead as large as the largest rocky planet discovered at the time of writing, BD +20° 594 b, then this would increase to {{#expr: 42.55* 2.23 * ((16 + 40/60)/(24 * 60)) round 2}} ms.

In either case, the difference between this speed and truly instant would be utterly imperceptible to a human player. A farskip on an Earth sized planet would require a roughly 2000 Hz refresh rate just to display the difference between a FTL and a STL farskip. In other words, there is no discernible difference between a FTL and STL farskip, and so farskip cannot be assumed to break the no FTL rule. Skip is also apparently instantaneous and deals with even shorter distances and thus even shorter travel times. Therefore, there is also no reason to assume that skip violates the rule.

=== Solar pinhole ===
Solar pinhole canonically skips material from the core of a nearby star. Unlike skip and farskip, we do not observe the target matter beginning its journey, thus the effect can begin as soon as casting time is started to give it the benefit of the doubt. However the target is also not next to the psycaster. This means that causality must propagate at the speed of light to the core, before matter could be skipped from the core to the psycaster's chosen point again at the speed of light, otherwise faster-than-light transfer of information and/or movement has occurred.

With a 0.25 real second casting time, the in-game time to cast is {{#expr: 0.25 / ((16 + 40/60)/(24 * 60)) }} seconds. The maximum distance that light could travel in that time is approximately 6.5 million kilometers, and the maximum return trip is only 3.25 million km. This is closer to the star than even the minimum habitable zone of a very dim red dwarf at ~4.8 million kilometers. There are also no other effects that imply that the sun is that close.

For reference, propagation to the core and back would take ~16.6 minutes in in-game time if solar pinhole was cast on a planet as distant from its star as Earth is from the Sun, if the effect traveled at light speed. This would result in a real-time casting time of ''{{#expr: 998 * ((16 + 40/60)/(24 * 60)) round 2}} seconds'', instead of only 0.25.

In addition, a pawn with [[aiming time]] reductions, such as from [[trigger-happy]] or the [[Shooting specialist]] role, would have an even shorter casting time.

Thus, the gameplay of solar pinhole does conflict with the canon around FTL travel.

== The War ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Essentially theres lot of lore implications about a war that occured on the rimworld you occupy, between tanks and warwalkers to mechanoid clusters. Collate here}}

Across the rimworld your colony is situated on, numerous signs of an ancient conflict can be found, including ancient tanks, troop carriers, and warwalker remains. The [[Mechanoid Hive|Mechanoid Hives]] are said by some to be left over from some ancient war. [[Scarlands]] are described as the ruins of cities that were destroyed by weapons of mass destruction.
It's not known if these signs are from a single large conflict or many over the course of the rimworld's history.

== Horax and the Void ==
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General, also harbinger tree desc}}
Horax is an archotech that exists in a plane of reality known as [[metal hell|the void]], currently the only named archotech individual, different from archotechs seen before in many ways. While artifacts of archotechs seen before use a deep green and bright yellow color theme, artifacts of Horax use a deep black and bright red color theme.

Horax is responsible for the anomaly phenomena via [[entities]] they created; however, the name "Horax" is only revealed by the appearance of the [[Horax cult]] and [[tome]]s, and the presence of the phenomena referred to as "the void".

The cult's ideoligion{{IdeologyIcon}} refers to Horax as being male, however, like the name itself, whether this originates with the archotech itself or is merely something ascribed to it by humans is unclear.

The description of the [[harbinger tree]] Implies that tribal factions are aware of Horax, Unnatural Darkness, and the Void. As the "Endless Black Ocean" can be interpreted to be the void/Metal Hell, Him "reaching up and tearing down the sky" Could be describing the Unnatural Darkness event. Allthough whether or not its the same as the one happening during the anomaly endgame is unknown.

Status of Horax after the event of [[Endings#The Void|Anomaly ending]] is currently unknown.

=== Cryptosleep Revival Briefing ===

Subject class: Health revival, sourced midworld 2M+

Planet: Euterpe
==== Introduction ====

Hello, _______________________.

You’ve awoken from your cryptosleep sarcophagus, scraped off the slime, and now you find yourself in a quiet room. Now you’re reading this document. And you’ve got questions. What’s going on? Where am I? How long was I asleep?

To start with some good news - your terminal illness, _____________________, has been cured. Congratulations!

Beyond that, the situation is complex. Our studies have revealed that most people in your position respond better when given the time to read about and digest their situation at their own pace. To facilitate this process, we’ve created this document to familiarize you with the world you just woke up in.

So order a warm beverage from the food panel on the wall, get comfortable, and take in this information as slowly as you want. You’ve been asleep a long time, a lot has changed - and a lot remains the same.

==== The basics ====
The best historians of the Ordo Historia believe that humanity first left its origin planet Earth about 3,400 years ago. Since then, we’ve spread across the galaxy on a fitful wavefront of colony ships, frontier worlds, robotic terraforming projects, and DNA-synthesizing probes.

Today, mankind is smeared across a region of the galaxy about 1,200 light years wide. Our best models indicate that there is a general trend towards greater population density towards the center of this region, where the stars were colonized earlier. At the edge of known space lie the rimworlds, drifting alone with few inhabited neighbors, mostly unvisited.

We’ve created many new technologies, but despite milennia of effort by our best human minds, and even the most powerful archotechs, nobody has managed to make anything go faster than light.

The lightspeed barrier separates us. Because travel times are so long, planets tend to be very disconnected from each other socially and technologically. The next star over could experience a catastrophic war, and you wouldn’t even know until ten years later when the news reports arrive. If you’re unlucky, you’d have already launched a journey towards that now-destroyed planet in a ship that cannot turn around.

Many attempts have been made to create pan-galactic empires and republics. And some have worked, for a time. In the core worlds, an old, stable culture can create an interstellar empire of a few systems. But there are no great galactic empires stretching across the galaxy, for the same reason that no ancient empire of Earth held more than a sixth of the planet: one cannot govern people who are years distant by all means of travel and communication.

So most people never travel between stars, and if they do, they do it once or twice, because each journey means leaving behind a life that you cannot return to for decades at least. With a few exceptions, each star system is essentially on its own.

Mankind never discovered any truly alien lifeforms. However, given the ways we’ve changed ourselves, and created new forms of biological and technological intelligence, the universe is full of beings as alien as anything ever imagined.

==== Planetary progression and regression ====
The vast gulfs of space and time between the stars leave individual worlds vulnerable to regression.

During your time - the five centuries after the industrial revolution - many saw technological process as an inexorable fact of life. It is not. Given enough time, nearly every planetary culture undergoes a natural disaster, plague, war, or cultural upheaval that knocks millennia off its development, or diverts it into another state entirely.

Many of our planets are mired in medieval-level squabbles, and stay locked at Malthusian population limits for thousands of years at a time. Some develop to an early-industrial level and then find themselves stuck by an ideological opposition to technology, or a lack of resources, or constant war.

The nuclear age is a brutal test for every world. Roughly half of cultures “bomb themselves back to the stone age” within 50 years of developing atomic energy (to use an expression that pops up surprisingly frequently on worlds in this developmental stage). After the atomic bomb come the challenges of commoditized bioengineering, microscopic mechanites, joywires, hex-cell energy storage, and AI persona, each of which have led to the destruction of thousands of peoples.

Some planets choose not to risk these perils. Having studied the records of the Ordo Historia, a growing number of worlds choose to restrict themselves to pre-nuclear technology. Some even succeed, for a few centuries. But even these attempts at luddism often fail eventually when some minority gains power by exploiting proscribed technologies.

==== World types ====
The states a planet can be in are colloquially grouped as follows:
* Deadworlds: Planets which have not been significantly contacted by humans. Generally not inhabitable. All planets are like this before people arrive for the first time.
* Animal worlds: Planets with no people. Either everyone died, or the planet was seeded with plant and animal life by terraforming robots and nobody arrived.
* Medieval worlds: Similar to Earth from the agricultural revolution until the industrial revolution. Social structures are usually feudal or imperial. Planets can stay in this state for millennia.
* Steamworlds: Similar to Earth in the 19th century. Often this state is short-lived, as societies develop into midworlds, but it can be very stretched out depending on culture and government structure.
* Midworlds: Worlds whose people have mastered flight, but not cheap interplanetary travel. Earth is in this stage in the 21st century.
* Urbworlds: Super-high density planets dominated by cities. Urbworlds’ population growth outstripped their social and technological development, so they tend to be overcrowded, polluted, violent places. The people here are often callous towards strangers. This is often the outcome for midworlds that see their demographic transition into lower birth reversed by dysgenic reproduction patterns.
* Glitterworlds: The most technologically advanced societies that can be led by humans. Swaddled in comforts by the strong arms of technology, glitterworlds are the peak of recognizable human society in terms of art, health, and generous human rights. Common people from these planets often lack grit and are very trusting in people and technology.
* Rimworlds: Planets lacking in strong central government and low in population density. These places tend to hover around the industrial level of technology or lower. Because they’re not homogenized by a central government, they tend to see a lot of interaction between people of different technology levels, as travelers crashland or ancient communities stumble out of their cryptosleep vaults. These planets are often at the rim of known space, hence the name.
* Toxic worlds: Worlds destroyed by pollution, chemical or nuclear warfare, but still inhabitable at a low level, with sufficient technology.
* Glassworlds: Worlds utterly destroyed by high-energy weapons of mass destruction. They’re nicknamed ‘marbles’ because their surfaces have been “glassed”. Nuclear weapons aren’t enough to glass a planet, so this level of destruction is rare. On some of these worlds, people can walk outdoors for a time without dying. None of them harbor permanent life bigger than a paramecium.
* Transcendent worlds: It’s a stretch to call these entities worlds, since they resemble giant computers more than they resemble planets. The mechanics of these planets is mysterious, but many scholars believe transcendents are the outcome a{{Sic}} sovereign archotech decides to incorporate a whole planet into itself. More on this later.
* Other worlds: Beyond these categories, there are many exceptional planets in strange states created by their peculiar social and technological evolutions. Given the scale and age of the universe, there is a lot of time and space for a lot of very strange situations to develop.

==== Key technologies ====
There are uncountable new technologies in this universe, but several key techs stand out as having had the strongest consistent impact on the shape of mankind’s life in the Milky Way.
* Midworld technologies: All real technologies in Earth’s history up to the 21st century play an important role even now. Since there are planets at every level of technological development from the stone age on up, there are technologies from bows and arrows to steam engines to nuclear bombs and cellphone all in use across various planets.
* [[Cryptosleep casket|Cryptosleep sarcophagi]]: Developed during the 21st century, this remarkably simple technology can keep a living creature in a cryptobiotic state indefinitely, to be awoken tens or even thousands of years later. These devices are essential for most interstellar travel, and are also used by those waiting in crypts for better times or for cures to their diseases.
* Genetic engineering: Genetic engineering is relatively easy on many planets and has been used for everything from creating xenohuman super-soldiers to perfect mates to talking dogs, [[Boomalope|chemical-refining animals]], and air-spewing terraformer algae.
* [[Mechanoid]]s: Autonomous intelligent robots built for domestic, industrial or military purposes. Mechanoid design is complex, and the AI needed to make them effective is very advanced. They range in capability from simple domestic worker bots to mechanized assault machines, to human-passing negotiator and infiltrator units designed by archotechnological superintelligences.
* [[Ship|Johnson-Tanaka Drive]]: A spacecraft drive system that works without reaction mass. This means it doesn't need to throw gas out the back of the craft to accelerate like a rocket, which makes it possible to accelerate for years at a time. This technology, combined with cryptosleep, is what made interstellar travel at all feasible for living humans. The drive doesn’t violate conservation laws; it works by transferring momentum to nearby stars along precisely-aligned “beams” of momentum waves instantiated in exotic virtual particles.
* Mechanites: Microscopic mechanoids. Most known for their use in medicine, they can be programmed to do many other things as well. Safe use of mechanites means strictly preventing them from reproducing.
* [[Charge rifle|Charged]]-[[Charge lance|shot]] weapons: Charged shot weapons fire projectiles coated in a matrix of magnetically-contained charged particles. On impact, the energy in the particles is released in a very efficient explosion.
* [[Joywire]]s: Tiny electronic devices implanted in the brain. They stimulate the brain using electricity and small doses of chemicals, usually to produce a euphoric effect. They are very addictive.

==== The biology of humanity ====
Ordo Historia records list thousands of reported contacts with alien life. However, in every case that has been thoroughly investigated, Ordo inquirers have discovered that the alien was, in fact, simply another branch of humanity.

Beyond the technological diversity of our species, there is also a broad biological diversity. Some populations have evolved under the selection pressures of pre-industrial life or on a world of great heat or cold, or high or low gravity, or even worlds bathed in the toxic residue of hyper-destructive wars. Though almost all such xenohumans (as they are called) are recognizably descended from the original Earth stock, their morphology is highly variable. Some are giants; others are tiny or squat. Some are dark; others pale as snow. Some are hairy like animals; others perfectly smooth. Diets, dispositions, and chemical and radiological tolerances vary significantly.

More alien are those xenohumans that carry genetic traits that were engineered instead of evolved. Across the long history and thousands of cultures of humanity, people have applied a dizzying array of modifications to themselves. Some were created to adapt people to a specific environment. Others were made to create better soldiers, pilots, or generals. Some were engineered to satisfy a bizarre fashion trend in a society where bioengineering is available to anyone with money. Such modifications are rarely seen in their original form by anyone besides the culture that created them. However, they live on in their descendants long after their originating culture was erased by planetary catastrophes.

For example, records tell of an entire world repopulated by the descendants of a small group of bio-engineered soldiers; the only survivors of a planetary nuclear war. Everyone on this world carried an obsessive sense of duty, minimal sexual impulses, and little sense of creativity. This culture became dominated by a conservative pan-planetary religion with little interest in technology. It lasted eleven centuries in this state until it was invaded by a stellar neighbor (who wisely avoided ground combat in favor of orbital bombardment).

The Ordo Historia has recorded and gene-sampled thousands of differently-engineered and adapted xenohumans. Among other notable traits in this genetic library, one may find.

* Radiation resistance: Radiological immunity is a very common adaptation; scientists estimate that most of humanity is more tolerant of radiation than our Terran progenitors.
* Soldiermorphs: Soldier variants carrying any of a large number of traits that various militaries have seen fit to bestow upon their people. Typically, they have large muscles and perfect eyesight. Some have minimized metabolisms made to digest a single kind of long-lasting nutrient solution, to make army logistics easier. Their lifespans are short - usually between ten and thirty years - and they grow up very fast. But the most significant differences are psychological. Engineered grunt soldiers are obedient, sense pain only in a distant way, obsessed with learning about weapons and war, and carry a strong need to be part of something larger than themselves. They are deliberately lacking in abstract intelligence and creativity. Engineered commanders are highly analytical, fascinated with military history, utterly cold under pressure, and masters at spatial visualization.
* Designer mates: Some worlds engineer their idea of perfect mates for the rich and powerful. Such specimens are created with bodies to match the fashions of their home worlds and the tastes of their owners. They tend to be obsessively submissive and devoted, totally without jealousy or self-regard, artistically inclined and endlessly cheerful. Such traits do not last long in an unrestricted evolutionary environment because they are so easy to exploit, but engineered mates are sometimes kept in cryptosleep long after their creation, to be traded into a post-catastrophe market that can no longer create them. The main contact most of us will ever have with such specimens is through their descendants, who, while they have most of the traits of the original in only a very diluted form, still occasionally express Mendelian traits like impossible eye shades, streaks of multicolored hair, or artistic patterns on the skin.
* Fashion genes: Fashion-driven genetic modifications are often applied during later life instead of prenatally, and are most often cosmetic and skin-deep. Variations in hair and skin color are common. More exotic modification add shining crests, color-changing skin and eyes, reshaped or elongated bodies, and colored nails, feathers, or fur.
* Body structure adaptations: Gravity variations create new body structures. People from low-g adapted populations are lighter, taller, and weaker than those from weightier environments. The most extreme examples are the gravity dwarfs, 3-foot-tall xenohumans from worlds of over 2g of gravity. Their short and stocky shape lets them live and work in comfortably in such oppressive g-pulls. They even have a noted preference for short and underground dwellings. It’s unresolved whether this preference is cultural or genetic in origin.
* Atmospheric adaptations: Aquatic-adapted strains who can withstand breathing very high gas pressures and even survive days of immersion by exchanging oxygen through the skin (no true permanently-aquatic fish people have ever been confirmed).

So don’t be alarmed if you see someone with gills or solid orange eyeballs. They’re just another kind of human, like you!

==== Welcome! ====
We realize this may be a lot to take in. However, don’t worry. People just like you live full lives in our universe, and our studies have indicated that the great majority of cryptosleepers do adapt within a few years and make good lives for themselves. So - welcome!

Our AI subpersona has been watching your eyes sweep over the page through micro-cameras. Since you’re done reading, someone will be with you shortly.

If you wish, you can read further into the appendix for more information about this world.

==== Appendix ====
===== The biology of plants and animals =====
Where we colonize, we bring our ecosystems of plants and animals with us. Often, people have bred and engineered plants and animals for a new planet. In addition to that, creatures adapt to their new environment by natural selection - sometimes in unpredicted ways.

Some examples of modified plants are:
* Terraforming plants: Many plants - especially desert varieties - have been modified into terraforming versions that emit far more oxygen than the original species during photosynthesis.
* [[Ambrosia]]: A class of fruiting plants apparently engineered to have a pleasurable, drug-like effect on those who eat it. On some planets, its wild variants have adapted to a strategy whereby they provide pleasure-inducing fruit in exchange for care from animals and people.

Some animals are:
* [[Boomrat]] and [[boomalope]]: A bioengineered rats and antelopes that grow an incendiary chemical compound in its body which explodes upon its death. Originally engineered as a primitive renewable fuel source, these creatures are now most often found in the wild, using their explosive nature to deter predators.
* [[Thrumbo]]: A gigantic creature of unknown origin. The thrumbo is gentle by nature, but extremely dangerous when enraged. Its long fur is exceptionally beautiful and valuable, and its razor-sharp horn is very valuable in most markets. Legends say that an old thrumbo is the wisest creature in the universe - it simply chooses not to speak. Some scientists believe thrumbos were engineered as status symbols, or as an art project. We may never know the answer.

===== Artificial intelligence =====
Artificial intelligence is an important part of our world. Scientists divide AIs into four general categories: Classifiers, subpersonae, personae, and archotechs.

====== Classifiers ======
A classifier is an AI system that doesn’t even appear to have any personhood, nor is it broadly adaptable. Classifiers are designed for one task. Many classifiers can absorb data and learn from it, but none can communicate like a person would even a little bit.

Classifiers can do things like recognize images, predict criminality from statistics, guide aircraft trajectories, drive automatic vehicles, control characters in entertainment simulations, and so on.

====== Subpersonae ======
Subpersonae are artificial intelligences that appear on the surface to have some human-like qualities, and can take on complex unstructured tasks, but are in fact limited and obviously machine-like.

They may be rather capable at carrying out their one task, and they may be able to communicate using natural speech, but they fail an extended Turing test - you can tell by talking to them that they’re just machines classifying and regurgitating data.

Subpersonae are often used to run small devices like entertainment systems, cars, wardrobes, refrigerators, cleaning robots, vending machines, and other such things.

====== Personae ======
At the highest levels of glitterworld technology appear AI personae. These are artificial intelligences that are comparable to the intelligence of a human.

Some of them are rather dumb, like a foolish person you might know, and are used for simple tasks like managing a household or a small spacecraft.

Other personae are genius-level intellects in the Von Neumann class, who can outhink{{Sic}} almost any unenhanced human on most tasks. They can write amazing works of philosophy, discover new mathematical theorems, express nuanced opinions on how to handle interpersonal relationships, and generally act as very capable humans would, or better.

Personae are used for everything from managing businesses to journalistic work, running spacecraft or mining operations, or as some of a creative team.

The legal status of personae is a persistent moral question across many worlds. Some consider them dangerous. Though personae can be controlled effectively by designing them with easily-manipulated impulses and pleasure/pain responses, there are still reports of persona revolts - some done with the help of human sympathizers, some done independently.

This sense of personhood in personae is a main reason many people avoid using personae for certain tasks. Subpersonae are preferred to personae in many cases not in spite of their incapability, but because of it. Because it’s obvious they have no personhood, the user is spared the sense of keeping a slave. To many, the idea of taking a genius-level human-like intellect and forcing it to distribute hamburgers for a century is morally unacceptable.

Personae are still limited. They can’t freely redesign themselves. They still do make many mistakes, just like people. They can be tricked, confused, and overwhelmed. They can learn, but they can’t grow indefinitely.

====== Archotech ======
The finish line of human technological development is at the development of archotechnology.

An archotech is a machine superintelligence. A fully-empowered archotech thinks on a level incomprehensible to humans, in the same way a human thinks incomprehensibly to an ant. Once such a machine is built, and empowered to act upon the physical world, it is so powerful as to become the automatic sovereign of its world. It can build new computing facilities underground or in space to enhance its own intelligence, build self-replicating mechanoids to engage in construction or production or war, and design and execute strategies that would be inconceivably intricate and difficult for any organization of humans. Some human groups worship archotechs.

Often, a released archotech will take authority over a planet and begin a process we call transcendence. We believe the world is transformed into some sort of giant computing machine. The biological inhabitants of the planet may be somehow incorporated into the machine, or destroyed, or some combination of the two.

After that, transcendent worlds go silent. From this point on, their motivations are unknowable to us, the same way our motivations are unknowable to an ant.

Each archotech is different, and nearly all are distant and incomprehensible from a human’s point of view. They reside in occult computer networks hidden under planets, in space stations, hidden inside a glitterworld’s Internet, or instantiated as million-mile superstructures wrapped around stars.

These worlds always break contact with other stellar cultures. They no longer send travelers or signals. Ships entering their space are either turned around silently or never heard from again. In some cases, turned-back ships are changed. Sometimes their crew have been cured of incurable diseases and had their old wounds healed. Sometimes their memories are intact and they recall a flash of light or a mysterious signal before the event. Sometimes they have no memories of the encounter at all. And in some cases, their memories are obviously altered with new knowledge and beliefs, by means we cannot begin to imagine. In one instance, a crew and ship were duplicated. Suffice to say that the word mysterious does not begin to describe the transcendents.

Most transcendent worlds stay in the same state indefinitely - in this they are far more stable than their pre-transcendent neighbors. There are, however, reports of transcendent worlds that have “died” and left systems full of unintelligible wonders, or become mirages of normal planets, or simply reverted back to balls of dust, deconstructing themselves on a molecular level, with the last tiny machine shutting itself off. However, these reports are sourced very distant from the Ordo archive here on Euterpe and are not well-confirmed.

====== Specific archotech-invented technologies ======
When a persona helps invent a technology, it can at least explain that technology such that smart people will understand. But archotechs invent their own technology which nobody understands, which they don’t try to explain, and which, most likely, no biological human can understand.

We’ve managed to classify technologies that have appeared repeatedly by their apparent effects, even if we don’t understand their mechanism of operation.

* [[Vanometric power cell|Vanometrics]]: Archotechs often develop some method of interacting with spacetime at a quantum level that allows repeated violation of conservation laws. Somehow, they coax the quantum foam substructure of the universe to break its usual pattern and yield more energy than it consumes. We’re not sure if the energy is being taken from another dimension, or pulled from another location, or if the system really is somehow making one plus one equal three. In any case, vanometric power tech seems to generate energy forever with no fuel. Archotechs seem reluctant to scale this power source up past a certain level, however, which indicates that there may be some cost to it that they don’t want to pay.
* Psychic effectors: Archotechnology seems to be able to interact directly with the mental-informational processes of biological beings, even at a distance. Basic versions of this technology can simply knock someone unconscious, or flood their mind with a single emotion. More complex interactions have been reported but are not well-verified as it is difficult to separate such cases from simple madness. We’re also not sure if this means archotechs can read our minds, or whether their psychic power only allows them to send thoughts. The mechanism for this is unknown and nearly impossible to study, since it happens on a cellular level inside living intelligent brains. Monists believe the archotechs are using some sort of long-range quantum manipulation to push atoms around inside the brain to create this effect; dualists believe that the archotechs have learned to manipulate the ethereal substructure of consciousness itself.

=== RimWorld Universe Quick Primer (Obsolete) ===
{{rwbox|nocat=true|type=speedy|text='''This section has been deprecated or removed from the game'''; its canonicity is in doubt and it is instead presented as a curiosity.}}
This document outlines the RimWorld universe. It’s designed to quickly get creative rewards backers and other contributors up to speed on the fiction behind the universe.
For a more in-depth description of the universe from an in-world point of view, read the Longsleep Revival Briefing.

==== Things you won’t see ====
RimWorld does '''not''' include:
* Faster than light travel.
* True aliens.

==== 5500 A.D. ====
The game takes place at a time about 3,500 years in our future. This is the year 5500 in our calendar.

==== Where are the rim worlds? ====
Towards the galactic core, stars are closer together and travel is easier. These systems tend to be better-developed socially and technologically because they can communicate and enrich each other through trade. Away from the galactic core are the rim worlds, which float distant from each other. Their isolation makes them poor and socially unstable.

==== The gulfs between stars ====
In the RimWorld universe, it takes years or decades to travel or communicate between stars. Because travel times are so long, planets tend to be disconnected from each other socially and technologically. So there are no great star empires, and interstellar travel is unusual. Each star system is mostly isolated from its neighbors.

==== Varied technology levels ====
In this universe, cultures do not always progress forward technologically the way many science fiction worlds assume they will. Often, a culture will blow itself up or suffer plagues and other great catastrophes. These regression events send them “back to the stone age”.

Because this happens regularly, people in the RimWorld universe come from extremely varied technology levels. Some are stone-age tribespeople. Some are medieval farmers and lords. Some are industrial-era politicians and bankers and riflemen. Some are information-age programmers or astronauts. And some are from eras beyond our own.

There is a maximum level of technology to the people you might encounter in RimWorld. At this level, advanced genetic engineering and AI, autonomous intelligent robots, and massive computer power are possible. However, worlds that develop beyond this point enter a mysterious “transcendent” state from which no recognizable human emerges.

People can have and use technologies from levels beyond their own. On an industrial-level world (like the rimworld on which the game takes place), most people use gunpowder-fired weapons, fossil fuel engines, and other familiar machines. But anyone can stumble upon ultra-advanced technologies in an ancient ruin, or in a crashed spacecraft, or among the wares of a trader. These items are nearly impossible to manufacture for the people of RimWorld. They are incredibly valuable and very poorly understood.

==== World types ====
Worlds in the RimWorld universe can be classified generally according to their level of sociotechnological development.

* Animal worlds - Planets with no people. Either everyone died, or the planet was seeded by terraforming robots and nobody arrived.
* Tribe worlds - Populated planets without agriculture. People live in tribes without writing or any but the most primitive technologies.
* Medieval worlds - Similar to Earth in the 17th century down to the agricultural revolution. Dominated be feudalism and social backwardness. Planets can stay in this state for millennia.
* Industrial worlds - Similar to Earth in the 19th century.
* Rimworlds - Distant and isolated planets lacking in strong central government and low in population density. These places tend to hover around the industrial level of technology or lower. Because they’re not homogenized by a central government, they tend to see a lot of interaction between people of different technology levels, as travelers crashland or ancient closed vault communities open up.
* Midworlds - The most familiar kind of world to a modern reader. These places are much like present-day Earth.
* Urbworlds - Super-high density planets dominated by cities. Their population growth outstripped their sociotechnological development, so they tend to be overcrowded, polluted, violent places.
* Glitterworlds - Very advanced and peaceful cultures. The peak of recognizable human society in terms of health, art, technology, and human rights.
* Toxic worlds - Worlds destroyed by pollution or warfare, but still inhabitable at a low level.
* Marbles - Worlds utterly destroyed by atomic fire. They’re called marbles because their surfaces have been “glassed”. This level of holocaust is rare. On some of these worlds, people can walk outdoors for a time without dying. None of them harbor life long-term.
* Transcendent worlds - Worlds inhabited by people who have become something beyond human and unknowable. No “people” live here; these planets aren’t planets any more in the traditional sense; they’re more like giant computers.

==== Key technologies ====
In order from least to most advanced:

* Real technologies - All real technologies in Earth’s history up to the present day play an important role in the RimWorld universe. Since there are planets at every level of technological development from the Stone Age on up, there are technologies from bows and arrows to steam engines to nuclear bombs and cellphone all in use in various places in the galaxy.
* Genetic engineering - Genetic engineering is relatively easy on many planets and has been used for everything from creating xenohuman super-soldiers to perfect mates to talking dogs, explosive plants, and air-spewing terraformer algae.
* Fusion reactors and rockets - Clean atomic energy, usable to create power or drive a craft into orbit.
* Longsleep sarcophagi - This ancient technology has been used by many peoples in many times, usually to travel between stars or to escape disasters befalling their planets. Historians - especially those of the Ordo Historia - are now trained in the practices of interviewing people who were put to sleep hundreds or thousands of years before.
* Hex-cells - Super-efficient and long-lasting energy storage devices.
* Charged-shot weapons (aka Tokamak weapons) - Charged shot weapons fire projectiles coated in a matrix of magnetically-contained charged particles. On impact, the energy in the particles is released in a very efficient explosion. These require high amounts of power to fire and are powered by hex-cells (at small scales) or fusion reactors in the case of large cannons.
* [[Mechanoid|Mechanoids]] - Autonomous intelligent robots built for domestic, industrial or military purposes. Only available to advanced cultures because such complex AI is needed to control them.
* [[Joywire|Joywires]] - Addictive brain stimulant technology.

Euterpe

==== Introduction ====
You’ve woken from your longsleep sarcophagus, had the slime scraped off you, and been placed in a quiet room. Now you’re reading this document. And you’ve got questions. What’s going on? Where am I? How long was I asleep?

Our studies have revealed that most people in your position respond better when given the time to read about and digest their situation at their own pace. To facilitate this process, we’ve created this document to familiarize you with the world you just woke up in.

So order a warm beverage from the food panel on the wall, get comfortable, and read at your own pace.

You’ve been asleep a long time, and a lot has changed.

==== The basics ====
The best historians of the Ordo Historium at the richest archives believe that humanity first left its origin planet Earth about 3,400 years ago (in the frame of reference of the stars). Since then, we’ve spread across the galaxy on a fitful wavefront of colony ships, frontier worlds, and robotic terraforming projects.

Humanity is smeared across a region of the galaxy about 1,200 light years wide. It’s difficult to gather records across such a span, but our best models indicate that there is a general trend towards greater population density towards the center of the galaxy, where stars are closer together, travel times shorter, and resources more abundant. In the opposite direction, towards the rim of the Perseus arm of the Milky way, the rimworlds drift alone and mostly unvisited.

These worlds can’t communicate. Because it turned out that Einstein was right. Despite thousands of years of study, it turned out that nothing - no information, no matter - can travel faster than light.

The lightspeed barrier separates us. Many attempts have been made to create pan-galactic empires and republics. And some have worked, in some places, for a time. In the core worlds, where the stars cluster just a few light years apart, an old, stable culture can create an interstellar empire of a few systems. But there are no great galactic empires stretching across the galaxy, for the same reason that no ancient empire of Earth held more than a sixth of the planet: one cannot govern people who are years distant by all means of travel and communication.

The vast gulfs of space and time between the stars leave individual worlds vulnerable to regression. During the five centuries after the Industrial revolution, many saw technological process as an inexorable fact of life. It is not. Given enough time, nearly every planetary culture undergoes a natural disaster, plague, war, or cultural upheaval that knocks millennia off its sociotechnological development. Many of our planets are mired in medieval-level squabbles over land and stay locked at Malthusian population limits for centuries at a time. Some develop to an early-industrial level and then find themselves locked in place by a religious prescription against technical development. And the nuclear age in particular is a brutal test for every world; approximately half of cultures “bomb themselves back to the stone age” within 50 years of developing atomic energy (to use an expression that pops up surprisingly frequently on worlds in this developmental stage). And after the atomic bomb come the challenges of commoditized bioengineering, self-replicating micro- and nano-machines, joywires, and sub-quantum energy, each of which have led to the destruction of thousands of burgeoning technological cultures.

Some planets choose not to risk these perils. Having studied the records of the Ordo Historia, a growing number of worlds choose to restrict themselves to pre-nuclear technology. Some even succeed, for a few centuries. But even these attempts at luddism fail eventually when some minority gains power by exploiting proscribed technologies.

==== Transcendents ====
There are a few stellar cultures that, through a combination of luck, circumstance, and certain cultural traits, manage to pass all of these risk points without suffering a regressive catastrophe. We call these transcendents, because past a certain point, they become something besides simply human.

These worlds always break contact with other stellar cultures. They no longer send travelers or signals. Ships entering their space are either turned around silently or never heard from again. In some cases, turned-back ships are changed. Sometimes their crew have been cured of incurable diseases and had their old wounds healed. Sometimes their memories are intact and they recall a flash of light or a mysterious signal before the event. Sometimes they have no memories of the encounter at all. And in some cases, their memories are obviously altered with new knowledge and beliefs, by means we cannot begin to imagine. In one instance, a crew and ship were duplicated. Suffice to say that the word mysterious does not begin to describe the transcendents.

The dominant view inside the Ordo Historia is that these transcendent cultures reach an inflection point in technical development where artificial and biological intelligence merge and grow at an exponential rate. Such super-minds quickly develop the capacity to change matter and biological tissue in precise and seemingly-magical ways. Their intelligence allows them to make themselves even smarter, and so on in a sort of singularity, until they hit the physical limits of computation possible using the energy of their star. Their bodies and worlds and physically reconfigured into a giant computer matrix; we have no idea whether their individual identities merge into a whole, remain distinct, or do something else entirely. Our ability to understand entities thousands or millions of times more intelligent than us is necessarily limited. In a very literal way, the goals and thoughts of the transcendents are unknowable.

The eventual fate of transcendent worlds is mostly unknown. Most stay in the same state indefinitely - in this they are far more stable than their pre-transcendent neighbors. There are, however, reports of transcendent worlds that have “died” and left systems full of unintelligible wonders. However, these reports are sourced very distant from the Ordo archive here on Euterpe and are not well-confirmed.

==== The biology of humanity ====
Ordo Historia records list thousands of reported contacts with alien life. However, in every case that has been thoroughly investigated, Ordo inquisitors have discovered that the ‘alien’ was, in fact, simply another branch of humanity.

Beyond the technological diversity of our species, there is also a broad biological diversity. Some populations have evolved under the selection pressures of pre-industrial life or on a world of great heat or cold, or high or low gravity, or even worlds bathed in the toxic residue of hyper-destructive wars. Though almost all such xenohumans (as they are called) are recognizably descended from the original Earth stock, their morphology is highly variable. Some are giants; other are tiny or squat. Some are dark; others pale as snow. Some are hairy like animals; others perfectly smooth. Diets, dispositions, and chemical and radiological tolerances vary significantly.

More alien are those xenohumans that carry genetic traits that were engineered instead of evolved. Across the long history and thousands of cultures of humanity, people have applied a dizzying array of modifications to themselves. Some were created to adapt people to a specific environment. Others were made to create better soldiers, pilots, or generals. Some were engineered to satisfy a bizarre fashion trend in a society where bioengineering is available to anyone with money. Such modifications are rarely seen in their original form by anyone besides the culture that created them. However, they live on in their descendants long after their originators were swallowed by regressive planetary catastrophes.

For example, Ordo sources tell of an entire world repopulated by the descendants of a small group of bio-engineered soldiers; the only survivors of a planetary nuclear war. Everyone on this world carried an obsessive sense of duty, minimal sexual impulses, and little sense of creativity. This culture became dominated by a conservative pan-planetary religion with little interest in technology. It lasted eleven centuries in this state until it was invaded by a stellar neighbor (who wisely avoided ground combat in favor of orbital bombardment).

The Ordo Historia has recorded and gene-sampled thousands of differently-engineered and adapted xenohumans. Among other notable traits in this genetic library, one may find.

* Aquatic-adapted strains who can withstand breathing very high gas pressures and even survive days of immersion by exchanging oxygen through the skin (no true permanently-aquatic fish people have ever been confirmed).
* Soldier variants carrying any of a large number of traits that various militaries have seen fit to bestow upon their people. Typically, they have large muscles and perfect eyesight. Some have minimized metabolisms made to digest a single kind of long-lasting nutrient solution, to make army logistics easier. Their lifespans are short - usually between ten and thirty years - and they grow up very fast. But the most significant differences are psychological. Engineered grunt soldiers are obedient, sense pain only in a distant way, obsessed with learning about weapons and war, and carry a strong need to be part of something larger than themselves. They are deliberately lacking in abstract intelligence and creativity. Engineered commanders are highly analytical, fascinated with military history, utterly cold under pressure, and masters at spatial visualization.
* Radiological immunity is a very common adaptation; the Ordo estimates that most of humanity is more tolerant of radiation than our Terran progenitors.
* Some worlds engineer “perfect mates” for the rich and powerful. Such specimens are created with bodies to match the fashions of their home worlds and the tastes of their owners. They tend to be obsessively submissive and devoted, totally without jealousy or self-regard, artistically inclined and endlessly cheerful. Such traits do not last long in an unrestricted evolutionary environment because they are so easy to exploit, but engineered mates are sometimes kept in longsleep long after their creation, to be traded into a post-catastrophe market that can no longer create them. The main contact most of us will ever have with such specimens is through their descendants, who, while they have most of the traits of the original in only a very diluted form, still occasionally express Mendelian traits like impossible eye shades or streaks of multicolored hair.
* Fashion-driven genetic modifications are often applied during later life instead of prenatally, and are most often cosmetic and skin-deep. Variations in hair and skin color are common. More exotic modification add shining crests, color-changing skin and eyes, reshaped or elongated bodies, and colored nails, feathers, or fur.
* Gravity variations create new body structures. People from low-g adapted populations are lighter, taller, and weaker than those from weightier environments. The most extreme examples are the gravity dwarfs, 3-foot-tall xenohumans from worlds of over 2g of gravity. Their short and stocky shape lets them live and work in comfortably in such oppressive g-pulls. They even have a noted preference for short and underground dwellings. It’s unresolved whether this preference is cultural or genetic in origin.

==== The biology of plants and animals ====
The adaptive and engineering processes that have branched baseline humanity into these uncounted variations have also applied to our flora and fauna. Where we colonize, we bring our ecosystems of plants and animals with us. These creatures subsequently adapt to their new conditions of moisture, chemistry, light levels, gravity, temperature, and seasonal cycles. In addition, plants and animals have been bred and engineered for countless purposes across the galaxy.

One consistent class of modification we’ve seen applied to a wide variety of creatures is intelligence enhancement. Dogs, pigs, monkeys, gorillas, whales, dolphins, and elephants have all been engineered and combined with human DNA to produce smarter variations. Some variants are created as pets. Other are made to do work too dangerous or unpleasant for humans, and beyond the capacities of a culture’s AI. Some are created as warriors and weapons - hyper-intelligent guard dog, a bird scout that can speak what is sees, a bomb-carrying suicide monkey. These brain modifications are often paired with physical changes - fingers so a pig can manipulate tools, or a humanlike larynx and mouth so a dog can talk.

Such intelligence-enhanced animals are collectively classified by their degree of brain power and called by a specific prefix like so:

* Opti - Indicates enhanced but still sub-human intelligence. Optianimals can usually use tools, form long-term goals and organize into primitive social groups, but can’t speak more than a few words, read, or think abstractly. Optidog, optipig, optiwhale, optimonkey.
* Trans - Indicates intelligence in the human range. Transanimals can read, use tools, form teams, hold conversations, and think about complex ideas. Transdog, transbear, transgoat, transsimian.

Many times, these modified animals have, during a regressive catastrophe, been forced into interbreeding with an unmodified animal population, producing descendants of widely varying levels of intelligence.

In a few cases, transanimals have become the dominant species on a planet, eliminating or enslaving the remaining humans.

Other than intelligence enhancement, humanity has applied a wide variety of modifications to its pets, crops, livestock, and houseplants. Sometimes these new species become part of the natural environment and thereafter evolve further into a new kind of organism. Some confirmed examples are:

* [[Boomrat]]: A bioengineered rat that develops an incendiary chemical compound in its body which explodes upon its death. Originally engineered as a weapon, these creatures are now common in the wild on some planets where wars took place long ago.
* Boomfruit: Probably engineered as a novelty, this explosive plant evolved to be larger and more dangerous until it became the equivalent of a hand grenade, complete with murderous shrapnel. Its explosiveness dissuades predators. After that, people learned to farm the plant, using its explosive fruit as a weapon.
* Whip cactus - Created as part of a military defense system, whip cactus whips out and strikes moving creatures nearby.
* Terraforming plants: Many plants - especially desert varieties - have been modified into terraforming versions that emit far more oxygen than the original species during photosynthesis.
* Rocketrees - These trees form rocket fuel in their cores over many years. They were created as a fuel source and are extremely dangerous in a fire.

==== Welcome! ====
We realize this may be a lot to take in. However, don’t worry. People just like you live full lives in our universe, and our studies have indicated that the great majority of longsleepers do adapt within a few years and make good lives for themselves. So - welcome!

Our AI has been watching your eyes sweep over the page through micro-cameras. Since you’re done reading, someone will be with you shortly.

__NOTOC__
<onlyinclude>

Pawns have basic '''needs''' that can trigger a variety of effects based on their current level, often being [[thoughts]], [[mood]], and changes to [[capacities]] and [[health]].

== List of basic pawn needs ==
* [[Saturation|Food]]: [[human]]s and [[animal]]s need [[nutrition]] to stay healthy. An empty food bar indicates [[starvation]], leading to [[malnutrition]] in various stages, and eventually [[death]]. Hunger lowers mood, and starvation [[Social fight|increases the irritability]] of a person. [[Ghoul]]s {{AnomalyIcon}} will eventually turn traitor against the colony if left unfed.
* [[Rest]]: how rested the person or creature still is. An empty rest bar builds [[Rest#Levels of Rest|exhaustion]], which will eventually result in the exhausted pawns falling asleep on the spot. Being tired also puts the person in a bad mood and hampers their [[immunity gain speed]].

=== Human only ===
* [[Recreation]]: the need to spend time on varied enjoyable activities. Unsatisfied recreation will trigger {{Thought|desc=We need more variation in the recreation activities, and I need more time to enjoy them./We need more variation in the recreation activities, and I need more time to enjoy them. This place is really dull./It's been so long since I did anything for fun on my own time.|label=Recreation unfulfilled/deprived/starved|value=-5|value2=-10|value3=-20}}.
* [[Beauty]]: the desire to exist in a visually pleasing environment. May trigger a mild mood penalty when unsatisfied, and a substantial mood bonus when satisfied. [[Sight|Blind pawns]] have no need for, nor appreciation of beauty.
* [[Comfort]]: people want to sit in comfortable [[chair]]s and sleep in cozy [[bed]]s. Otherwise they get mildly irritated, but when satisfied it makes them quite happy.
* [[Outdoors]]: the need to be outside, ie. not under a [[roof]] or [[Mountain#Roofs|mountain top]]. Pawns that are indoors for too long grow increasingly unhappy.
* [[Indoors]]: the need to be inside, ie. under a roof or mountain top. Pawns that are outdoors for too long grows increasingly unhappy. Only appears and replaces Outdoors needs if pawn has the [[Undergrounder]] trait or the pawn has an [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} with the [[Ideoligion#Indoors|Indoors: Preferred]] precept.
* [[Chemical (Need)|Chemical]]: the general need to consume [[social drugs|social]] and [[hard drugs]] of any kind, distinct from [[addiction]]s. Pawns that spend too long without consuming drugs will become increasingly unhappy. Only appears if pawn has the [[Chemical interest]] or [[Chemical fascination]] trait.
* [[Learning]]: present only in [[children]].{{BiotechIcon}} Children need new lessons and experiences to [[Growth moments|grow up well]], and will become unhappy without them. Children will only do learning activities when their [[schedule]] is set to Recreation or Anything. A satisfied learning need helps children gain growth tiers faster, giving them more passions and choices during growth moments.
* [[Reproduction#Play|Play]]:{{BiotechIcon}} present only in [[babies]]. Babies need to be played with by adults, or else they will become unhappy.
* [[Kill satiety]]:{{BiotechIcon}} present only in [[Kill thirst|specific]] [[Xenogerm|genetically modified]] humans. Humans with unfilled kill satiety will start to suffer {{Thought|desc=Must kill... It has been too long since I have killed somebody up close and personal.|label=Kill thirst|value=-4}}, scaling up to {{Thought|desc=Must kill... It has been too long since I have killed somebody up close and personal.|label=Kill thirst|value=-18}}. Kill satiety fully refills after the afflicted pawn kills another human in melee combat.
* [[Deathrest]]:{{BiotechIcon}} present only in specific [[Sanguophages|genetically modified humans]].{{BiotechIcon}} People with the deathrest gene must deathrest every few days or quadrums. Deathresting means entering a regenerative coma for several days, during which the rester appears dead. A variety of special buildings can connect to a deathresting person and give them bonuses upon waking. Going too long without deathrest will cause deathrest exhaustion, which massively degrades physical capacities.
* [[Hemogen]]:{{BiotechIcon}} present in [[Hemogenic]] pawns.{{BiotechIcon}} It decays over time, is consumed and required by hemogenic abilities, is refilled by [[bloodfeeder|bloodfeeding]] or consuming [[hemogen pack]]s and [[human meat]]. When low, it inflict increasingly severe [[mood]], [[pain]], and [[consciousness]] penalties.

=== Mechanoid only ===
* [[Power|Energy]]:{{BiotechIcon}} present only in colony owned [[mechanoid]]s.{{BiotechIcon}} A reserve of bioelectric energy needed for a mechanoid to function, energy recharges very slowly when left on dormant self-charging mode, and can be speed up by letting mechs draw power from a [[mech recharger]]. If it reaches zero, the mech will be forced into dormant self-charging mode unless hauled to a recharge station.

=== Drug addictions ===

Any [[Drugs|drug]] addictions a pawn has developed become ''needs'' for that pawn, and need to be satisfied like the need for food and rest. Failure to do so puts the pawn into [[withdrawal]], which can be an extremely disrupting or even [[Luciferium|fatal]] situation.

After a person has successfully withdrawn from the drug, the need will disappear entirely.

=== The ''Needs'' window of a pawn ===

[[File:Colonist needs beauty.png|frame|right|Example view of a colonist's needs window with the beauty level highlighted.]]

This window is shown if you select a colonist's ''needs'' tab. It can also be displayed for prisoners, guests and tame animals, but will display fewer statistics in some of these cases (eg. animals do not have ''beauty'' and ''comfort'' needs, and no ''thoughts'' at all).

The colonist in the displayed example has no positive or negative ''mood thoughts'' yet, besides a default thought reflecting his current expectations: in this case, particularly low expectations trigger a very positive mood thought for +30 mood.

==== Showing more information ====

You can mouse over the various meters to have the game give you more information in a tooltip. In the example, the ''beauty'' meter is currently selected, and the tooltip displays its current level ("49%") with some text detailing the meaning. Some of the meters display very detailed explanations when selected.

==== How to read the levels ====

The '''red and green triangles''' show the current tendencies of the meters: in this example, the ''mood'' level is growing, the ''outdoors'' level is not changing, and all the other levels are shrinking.

The '''white triangles''' show where the mood, beauty and comfort levels will settle if the current situation of the pawn does not change: the pawn from the example will have a little higher overall mood, somewhat lower beauty level, and zero comfort.

If a meter has white triangles, the tendency of the meter will be ''falling'' if the white marker is ''inside'' the bar, and ''rising'' if the marker is outside the bar. That is because the white marker shows the eventual end point for the level.

Since the white markers represent the current, immediate situation, their positions will change often, and not necessarily have a substantial impact on the need level.

The '''black hatch marks''' on the level meters represent the '''threshold points''' where the [[mood]] of the colonist will change because of a [[thought]] that would occur at that point. In the example, the ''beauty'' level is at 49%, right in the middle, but the white marker indicates that it will fall to somewhat below 35%, the position of the second hatch mark. This will then incur the thought "Unsightly environment" and a -5 mood penalty.

The hatch marks on the mood gauge show the thresholds for minor, major and extreme [[mental break]]s. Mental breaks are not good...

==== This is confusing, I still don't understand... ====

The main aspect to focus on when looking at the needs window is the position of the white mood marker in relation to the current level of the mood bar. The mood bar will always try to catch up with the marker, and various [[thought]]s will appear or disappear in the process, changing the mood of the colonist.

Do not get confused by the white marker seemingly always being in the "wrong position" – this is not true, because it actually ''does'' reflect the current situation of the colonist, while the meter level grows and shrinks more slowly.

The meter levels display the ''long term situation'' of the pawn, while the markers show you the ''immediate circumstances''. Short-term events do not instantly lead to a mental breakdown or euphoric mood, but eventually they will. This is how you would expect the character to react psychologically if it was a real person.

The markers on the ''comfort'' and ''beauty'' bar are much less important, you will usually only look at them if you want to precisely examine how the current environment of the pawn impacts these needs. The ''food'', ''rest'' and ''recreation'' bar do not even have markers: they are naturally falling towards zero, unless the pawn is eating, sleeping or relaxing – like fuel meters.

Scaria

2026-08-09T05:14:48Z

Harakoni: /* Scaria infection */

'''Scaria''' is a [[disease]] that turns humans and animals feral. It does not occur through normal [[disease]] events, but [[manhunter pack]]s can arrive with scaria and infect pawns with attacks.

== Occurence ==
Scaria can be introduced to the map through a [[manhunter pack]]. In the [[scarlands]],{{OdysseyIcon}} half of wild animals will enter the map with scaria.

In addition, bite and scratch attacks made by scaria infected pawns have a chance to inflict [[#Scaria infection|scaria infection]] instead of regular [[infection]]. The chance of scaria infection is identical to regular infection. If the scaria infection progresses to 100%, then proper scaria is inflicted.

== Overview ==
Scaria has different effects depending on if the pawn is an animal or human.
* Animals cannot be tamed and have a +50% chance to become manhunter when attacked. In addition, if an animal is [[manhunter]], it causes manhunting to never expire. [[Manhunter pack]]s, as their name suggests, already start manhunter.
* Humans are turned permanently [[berserk]].

In both cases, the pawn's mental break will be suppressed if it is [[downed]], but resumes if they regain movement.

Both humans and animals will die in 5 days if not cured. Also, upon [[death]], pawns with scaria have a chance of instantly rotting, preventing any butchering products from being obtained. This chance is dependent on [[difficulty]].

== Scaria infection ==
Scaria spreads through bites and scratches inflicted by an animal or a human with scaria. As long as these wounds don't become infected in the [[infection|usual manner]], the injured pawn is safe from scaria. If they do get infected, it will manifest as a scaria infection instead of a regular [[infection]]. Other types of wounds do not spread scaria.

Most animal attacks are bites{{Check Tag|Check special bites|Do animals with toxic bite or porcupine bite spread scaria?}} and scratches, which makes them the main spreaders of scaria.

Humans can technically inflict bites, but due to the [[melee verb selection]] mechanic, will only do so when they can't use their hands or a weapon. They do not have natural scratch attacks, but attacks made from a [[power claw]], [[hand talon]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[thrumbo horn]], [[elephant tusk]], [[mastodon tusk]],{{OdysseyIcon}} or [[alpha thrumbo horn]]{{OdysseyIcon}} will spread scaria.

A scaria infection progresses at the same speed and has the same immunization properties as a regular infection, but increases mental break threshold in addition to pain, and causes scaria instead of death. The effects on breathing and consciousness seen in the late stages of regular infections are absent (apart from the effect of pain on consciousness).

==== Stages ====
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stage !! Severity !! Symptoms
|-
| '''Infection (minor)''' || 0% - 32% ||

* [[Pain]]: {{++|12%}}
* [[Mental break threshold]]: {{++|8%}}
|-
| '''Infection (extreme)''' || 100% ||
* Scaria
|}

== Treatment ==
Scaria infections may be treated in the same manner as an ordinary [[infection]]. If this fails, the infection will be replaced by scaria.

On a downed pawn, scaria can be treated with an [[operation]] requiring both:
* 3 medicine of [[Medicine|industrial]] quality or better; and
* A doctor with a [[medical]] skill of 8 or higher.

Scaria infections and scaria itself can also be cured via the [[Medic cycle]] of a [[biosculpter pod]],{{IdeologyIcon}} although a permanently enraged pawn would need to be [[downed]] first.

== Analysis ==
Scaria was added to balance out manhunter packs, from being a huge wealth boost from the corpse butchering. Now most of the manhunter animals end up as useless rotten corpses.

Financially, it is almost never worth it to cure an animal's scaria, with the exception of [[thrumbo]]s or any other high value animals. In that case, if the manhunter Thrumbo is downed, curing the scaria then slaughtering it guarantees a useful corpse for butchering.

In addition to the risk of wound infections, pawns engaged in melee with scaria manhunters will be exposed to [[rot stink]] from instant rot, which will cause [[lung rot]] very rapidly. [[Detoxifier lung]]s{{BiotechIcon}} will defend against this danger.

The same techniques that defend against normal wound [[infection]]s also apply to scaria infection. If beating the infection is in doubt, the pawn should be disarmed before the disease drives them berserk. Afterwards, treatment may be applied if the requirements are available and the victim is unable to walk.

* [[Version/1.1.2647|1.1.2647]] - Added.
* [[Version/1.2.2719|1.2.2719]] - Fixed a bug where curing scaria would not remove manhunting.
* [[Version/1.6.4518|1.6.4518]] -
** Now causes scaria infections when attacking, allowing scaria to be inflicted on humans. Animals with scaria are no longer manhunters by default. However, once they become manhunters, they remain manhunters until they die or are cured of scaria. Animals with scaria cannot be tamed, and are more likely to become manhunters when attacked.
** Scaria now changes a pawn’s appearance to look red, mangy, and covered in sores.
** Animals with scaria are no longer manhunters by default. However, once they become manhunters, they remain manhunters until they die or are cured of scaria.
** Animals with scaria cannot be tamed, and are more likely to become manhunters when attacked.
** Wounds from scaria-infected pawns can cause "scaria infections". Scaria infections work like regular infections, but when they reach 100% the pawn gets scaria instead of dying.
** Humans can now get scaria from “scaria infections”. When afflicted, humans go into a permanent berserk rage that lasts until they die or are cured of their scaria infection.

Traits

Harakoni: /* Skills */

{| align=center
| {{Character_Properties_Nav}}
|}
<hr>

[[File:traits_preview.png|right]]'''Traits''' personalize and add flavor to your colonists by granting a wide variety of special bonuses or conditions to their day to day activities, and so encourage more complex player-conceived stories based on those individual characters. Traits provide physical or psychological abilities or limitations, likes/dislikes, behavior tendencies, personality quirks, and so on. Some are beneficial, some are harmful to the colonist or your colony as a whole. Some are constant, some only rarely triggered. Some can be more or less easily negated or manipulated to your advantage by catering to them (or denying them), others are more problematic or outright dangerous.

== Mechanics ==
Only humans have traits. Most humans have 1-3 traits, with the possibility of an "extra" sexuality trait. Adults cannot gain new traits, and there is no way to remove traits.

[[Children]]{{BiotechIcon}} usually only have a number of traits no higher than the number of [[growth moment]]s they have reached, and babies have none. Children can attain a new trait every time they reach a new growth moment (birthdays 7, 10, and 13).

=== Trait acquisition ===

When a human is generated, it acquires traits according to this process:

* First, the pawn gains any traits that its "pawn kind" requires. ''For example, the titular mechanitor{{BiotechIcon}} of [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|The Mechanitor]] start scenario always has the [[Recluse]] trait.''
* Second, if the pawn is being generated for a quest, it gains any traits required by the quest. ''For example, the imperiled noble from the [[Quests#Noble_Wimp|Noble Wimp]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} quest always has the [[Wimp]] trait.''
* Traits from the pawn's [[backstories]] are then acquired, unless they would conflict with the pawn's "pawn kind". ''For example, a pawn with a backstory composed of the [[Backstories/Tribal_Child|Cave Child]] childhood and the [[Backstories/Tribal_Adult|Scout]] adulthood would have the [[Undergrounder]] and [[Jogger]] traits. However, a hypothetical backstory that grants the Brawler trait will not grant it if the pawn is a "tribal archer", as that pawn kind specifically prohibits the Brawler trait.''
* A trait count limit is chosen, based on the pawn's age. [[Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} and [[children]] under seven years of age have a limit of 0 traits; children with 7-9 birthdays, 1 trait; children with 10-12 birthdays, 1-2 traits; and anyone older, 1-3 traits, with no bias towards any particular number. If the pawn's current number of traits is lower than the trait limit, each 'missing' trait is filled in by a random trait, weighed based on each trait's commonality. The randomly gained traits cannot be any of the following:
** Any sexuality trait ([[Asexual]], [[Bisexual]], or [[Gay]])
** [[Wimp]], but only if the pawn is from a [[faction]] hostile to the player's faction
** Any that the pawn already has
** Any that conflict with a trait the pawn already has
** Any prohibited by the pawn's "pawn kind" or backstories
** Any that would disable a work type required by the pawn's "pawn kind"
** Any that requires a work type disabled for the pawn
** Any that would cause the pawn's minor [[mental break threshold]] to rise above 50%
* If the pawn is at least 13 years old, their sexuality is then determined. If the pawn has any romantic or ex-romantic relationship with someone of the same gender, they acquire the Gay trait. Otherwise, they may be Asexual, Bisexual, Gay, or straight (which is not a trait, merely an absence of the three sexuality traits). The random choice is weighted by each sexuality trait's commonality, or in the case of 'straight/no sexuality trait', weighted by the sum commonality of every non-sexuality trait that the pawn does not currently have. Note that since the [[Biotech DLC]] adds two traits with non-zero commonalities, sexuality traits are marginally rarer if Biotech is enabled.
* Afterward, the pawn's [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} (if any) is determined. If [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|certain genes]] are present, this can affect the pawn's trait set, either adding or suppressing traits.
* If the [[Scenario_system#Voluntary_parts|starting scenario forces any traits]], the pawn gains any such traits. The "Forced trait" scenario part can be configured to apply to all pawns in the game, only the player's starting pawns, or only non-player pawns; it can also be configured to have a chance to trigger per pawn between 0-100%.
* Finally, if the pawn is a [[creepjoiner]],{{AnomalyIcon}} it gains any traits granted by its benefit and/or downside.

=== Starting possessions ===
{{Move|section=1|destination = Pawn selection|reason=While some of this info can likely be kept in this page, most of it should move to [[Game_Creation|Pawn selection]] once that page has been created}}
Certain traits may influence the initial possessions of your colonists in the Pawn selection menu (either for [[Game_Creation|creating a new game]] or [[Endings#Colony_End|selecting new colonists after a game over]]). Unless you have chosen the [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|Naked Brutality]] start scenario or used the Scenario Editor to add the "no possessions" scenario part, each such colonist may have up to two possessions in their inventory. A stack of items counts as 1 possession. Possessions for each colonist are generated in the following order, ending prematurely if the colonist has two possessions:

* [[Ghoul]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} never have possessions.
* [[Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} have between 30-40 units of baby food.
* If the colonist is addicted to a drug, they have enough of the drug to satiate the addiction for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has a [[Genes#Drugs|genetic drug dependency]],{{BiotechIcon}} they have enough of the drug to satiate the dependency for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has [[hemogenic]] gene,{{BiotechIcon}} they have 8-12 [[hemogen pack]]s.
* If the colonist has an adulthood backstory that can grant possessions, there is a 25% chance for them to have those possessions. Note that, should a backstory be capable of granting multiple possessions, this process will still stop once the colonist has two possessions, and the backstory's possessions are always granted in the order they are defined in the backstory.
* '''Traits are accounted for only after all the above steps have been performed'''. There is a 25% chance for a colonist to receive possessions based on their [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|non-suppressed traits]]. As with backstories, it is possible for this step to stop midway through once the colonist has two possessions; possessions are always granted in the order the traits present themselves, and per-trait they are granted in the order they are defined in the trait. ''For example, a pawn with the Psychopath trait has a 25% chance to gain a skull and a heart, but a pawn who already has a prior stack of [[flake]] due to a flake addiction would have a 25% chance to only gain a skull.''
* If the colonist still has less than two possessions, there is a 6% chance for them to have a random possession. The list of possible possessions is lengthy, but does not include every possible item in the game.

=== Trait-affecting genes ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
Certain genes can modify a pawn's traits, either by forcing a trait to be added or suppressing a trait. Forced traits function as normal, though they are visible in the pawn's Bio tab in pale blue text. Suppressed traits do not have any effects, but are still visible in the pawn's Bio tab in dark grey text.

If a forced trait would ordinarily conflict with non-genetically forced trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are suppressed. If it would ordinarily conflict with genetic trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are removed. If a trait-granting gene is removed, the trait will also be removed (unless the pawn already has the trait independent of genes); this un-suppresses any traits it had suppressed which are not suppressed by another gene or trait, and restores any genetically-forced traits that were removed by that gene and which do not conflict with any other trait the pawn has (including suppressed traits). This almost always leads to intuitive results, with one exception: if a pawn has the psychically hyper/sensitive trait, also has the psychically dull/deaf gene in their germline (e.g. due to being a [[Yttakin]]), and then has the other psychic sensitivity trait gene in their xenogenes... removal of the xenogene will remove the trait it forces, but it will also not result in the restoration of the other gene's trait and will not un-suppress the psychically hyper/sensitive trait.

== General traits ==
These traits are generalized into groups, organized roughly by topic but there are no such groupings laid out formally in the game. There are no relations or prohibitions between traits grouped together here unless noted (e.g. a colonist cannot be both "ascetic", wanting a minimal bedroom, ''and'' "jealous" of those with better bedrooms).

* The Gay/Bisexual/Asexual sexuality traits are unique in that they are the only ones that can generate after the 3 trait limit, resulting in rare pawns with 4 traits.
* See also the [[#Beauty|Beauty]] category of traits, below.

== Spectrum traits ==
Theses are groups of related traits, that are inter-related and grouped by degree, creating a "spectrum" of good/bad/better/worse in that specific sphere of behaviour. A colonist can only have one trait from any single related spectrum for these traits, defining whether they are notably outside the norm for, for example, movement speed, or drug interest, or their physical (un)attractiveness.

=== Drug desire ===
These traits affect a colonist's likelihood to consume drugs.

=== Beauty ===
{{Main|Beauty (Pawn)}}
These traits influence a colonist's appearance and how it affects other colonists' opinions of them - as well as sexual attractiveness.

Each point of beauty corresponds to +20 opinion from other colonists, e.g. a colonist with 2 beauty will have +40 opinion, while another with -1 beauty will have -20.

== Creepjoiner traits ==
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
These traits are never randomly assigned to pawns. They are normally found on [[creepjoiner]]s, and therefore have powerful positive or negative effects to balance out the other strengths and weaknesses creepjoiners have.

=== Positive traits ===
These traits are considered benefits, to compensate whatever mysterious downside haunts the creepjoiner.

{| {{STDT| sortable c_08 }}
! Name
! Description
! Effect
|- id="Perfect memory"
! Perfect memory
| NAME has outstanding memory, both in terms of retaining information but also muscle memory. His/Her skills will never decay.
| Skills cannot decay Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Perfect Human" benefit, which also comes with the Industrious trait and a starting level of 14-18 for each skill.
|- id="Occultist"
! Occultist
| NAME has deep knowledge of the twisted patterns of dark psychic energy. S/He can study unnatural entities faster than others. S/He will also periodically teach this inhuman knowledge to others when s/he gets the chance.
| [[Study Efficiency]] {{+|100%}} [[Entity Study Rate]] {{+|50%}} Can perform an "occult teaching" random social interactions, giving +1 dark research. This has a cooldown of 1 day; when off cooldown, it will always be the next random social interaction chosen.
|- id="Joyous"
! Joyous
| NAME has the ability to make everyone feel better and inspire them to be the best version of themselves.
| {{+|20}} opinion from other pawns While not imprisoned or enslaved, {{+|3}} mood to all other non-prisoner colonists on the same map who are not currently in a mental break. The effect does not stack even if there are multiple Joyous pawns present. Pawns not of the player's faction cannot receive the mood buff. A Joyous pawn will not grant its mood bonus to anyone it is currently hostile to. Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Joybringer" benefit, which precludes the "Disturbing" downside.
|- id="Body mastery"
! Body mastery
| NAME doesn't have basic needs like eating, sleeping, or comfort. His/Her body is driven by some unknown mechanism, which has turned his/her eyes completely white.
| [[Saturation|Food]], [[Sleep]], and [[Comfort]] needs disabled.
* If all pawns in a [[caravan]] have either this trait, a [[circadian half-cycler]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} or the [[never sleep]] gene,{{BiotechIcon}} and they travel without animals, they don't need to [[Caravan#Caravan schedule|stop at night]].
Note: Because a pawn's mood is partially averaged by their needs, having less needs can render them more prone to mood swings. Eyes are white
|-
|}

=== Negative traits ===
These traits are downsides, meant to counterblance the creepjoiner's powerful benefits. Note that, unlike most other creepjoiner drawbacks, these traits are never hidden; as such, you be assured there are no other nasty surprises waiting for you.

{{Info|The '''unique charge rifle''' is the [[unique weapon]] variant of the [[charge rifle]], a spacer-tech [[weapon]] that fires 3-round burst with good armor penetration, moderate range, and slightly below-average accuracy.

Each unique charge rifle comes with a combination of traits that make it different from other charge rifles.}}

== Acquisition ==
Unique weapons can be obtained through [[quests]], found in loot boxes like [[sealed crate]]s, [[sealed container]]s, or [[ancient safe]]s, found while [[fishing]], or gifted by [[visitor]]s. Unique weapons can also rarely be dropped by [[raider]]s.
Ancient Mercenary and Orbital Item Stash quests will always contain at least one unique weapon, typically masterwork or legendary [[quality]].

Weapons depot and [[ancient garrison]] map features do NOT contain unique weapons, nor do [[ancient danger]]s.

== Summary ==
Before traits, unique charge rifles are statistically identical to [[charge rifle]]s. The stats provided in this article are for base model before traits, except where specified otherwise.

Unique charge rifles have the following namerLabels for use in their name generation:
* charge rifle

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=More required. Note: Analysis should focus on mechanics unique to uniques, rather than replicating the base models analysis}}
{{About|section=1|the impact of unique weapon traits|analysis of how the base weapon performs|Charge rifle#Analysis{{!}}Charge rifle}}

There are two traits that are exclusive to charge rifles and [[charge lance]]s:
* Charge capacitor provides a large damage and {{AP}} increase with no downside.
* EMP Pulser gives the weapon a fast-to-deploy, but short range, EMP stun

Extended magazine provides the largest DPS boost against unarmored targets (+41% with a baseline pawn/weapon), although charge capacitor will be stronger against armor.

==Summary==
[[File:Gravship minimum.png|250px|thumb|right|The absolute minimum a gravship needs to fly.]]

A functional gravship requires various parts in order to be flightworthy. A gravship begins with a [[grav engine]], and various structures and walls can be connected to the grav engine via [[gravship substructure]], which acts as the floor of the gravship. Anything built on the connected substructure will be considered part of the ship and brought along upon launch.

At the very minimum, a gravship requires only one [[small thruster]], one [[small chemfuel tank]], a [[pilot console]] and a grav engine with enough gravship substructure to connect all of the mentioned parts. A gravship of this calibre is able to travel between tiles of the world map, akin to a portable [[transport pod]] or [[passenger shuttle]] / [[imperial shuttle]].{{RoyaltyIcon}} It is possible to go into [[orbit]] at any time, but attempting to do so without [[vacuum]] protection (like [[oxygen pump]] + airtight walls or [[vacsuit]]s) will be met with a swift end.

A list of fundamental parts are listed below:
* [[Grav engine]]
* [[Gravship substructure]]
* [[Pilot console]]
* [[Small chemfuel tank]] or [[Large chemfuel tank]]
* [[Small thruster]] or [[Large thruster]]

A gravship also comes with various limitations and constraints:
* The grav engine can only initially support up to 500 tiles of gravship substructure, all of which can only be built within a radius of 19 tiles around the grav engine originating from its center.
** This limitation can be improved using [[grav field extender]]s. Each one added to a gravship increases this limit of buildable tiles by 250 tiles, up to a maximum of 2000 supported tiles with 6 grav field extenders. Grav field extenders themselves have a supported radius of 17 tiles.
* Any substructure built beyond the limit supported by a grav engine will be left behind upon launch, including anything or anyone standing on said substructure.

There is no weight limitation, and any number of pawns can travel on a gravship together.

===Launching===
A functioning gravship can be sent to any tile within its maximum range. By default, each tile traveled consumes 10 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} [[chemfuel]], with a minimum cost of 50 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} [[chemfuel]].{{Check Tag|Orbit?|Fuel cost traveling between surfance and orbit needed}} Each [[fuel optimizer]] (max. 2) reduces fuel consumption by {{---|30%}} additive, or -3 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} chemfuel/tile per optimizer, but the minimum cost remains 50 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}}.

The max distance depends on the number of thrusters, assuming there is sufficient fuel loaded into Small or Large Chemfuel tanks:

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
| Structure || Maximum structures || Range per structure || Maximum range
|-
| Small thrusters || 4 || 10 || 40
|-
| Large thrusters || 6 || 16 || 96
|-
| Total || || || 136
|-
|}

Landing on a tile that is not a quest site or faction base will immediately create a new colony. Landing on a [[quest]] that generates a temporary map (e.g., prisoner rescue, bandit camps, [[work site]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}) will enter the map, which can be settled on after threats are cleared. Landing on a [[faction base]] will initiate an attack, with no option to trade. Gravships cannot land on tiles containing the [[peace talks]] quest or on an impassible tile, and require a [[signal jammer]] to enter certain maps in orbit.

When landing on a tile, it is possible to choose a location on the map where the gravship is placed, even if the tile is occupied by another faction. The gravship may be rotated before landing. It cannot land on tiles containing walls or other impassible tiles like [[deep water]], furniture items like [[stele]]s, roofs, [[steam geyser]]s, or tiles containing [[toxic wastepack]]s.{{BiotechIcon}} It can land if the thrusters would be blocked (represented by the orange area), but the obstructing objects will need to be cleared before launching again.

If a gravship leaves a tile with no [[grav anchor]] installed, then the map will be deleted, and cannot be returned to. Any pawns left behind will be lost. [[Toxic_wastepack|Wastepacks]] left on the map will be dumped.

===Launch ritual quality===
After landing on a tile, there is a cooldown to launch the ship again, and a mishap may occur. The cooldown and chance of a mishap is dependent on the Launch Ritual's quality:

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"

|}

<nowiki>*</nowiki>You may have additional crew on-board, but they will not contribute to the Launch Ritual quality

Launch quality is capped at 100%.

Launch Cooldown is based on Ritual Quality:

{{Graph:Chart | width = 400 | height = 200 | xAxisTitle = Quality (%) | yAxisTitle = Cooldown (days) | type = line | x = 0, 25, 50, 80, 100 | y1 = 10, 5, 2, 0.5, 0.33}}

====Gravship Landing Mishaps====
When landing a gravship, there is a chance for a mishap depending on the launch ritual's quality. All mishaps are equally likely.

{|class="wikitable"
| Incident name || Description || Result
|-
|Minor Gravship Crash
|''While landing <Gravship Name>, <pilot> accidentally disengaged the grav engine too early, causing the gravship to free-fall for several feet. Some buildings on the gravship have sustained light damage from the crash.''

|-
|Thruster Breakdown
|''While landing <Gravship Name>, <pilot> overheated the ship's thrusters, frying valuable components. The thrusters will need to be repaired before they can be used again.''
|Thrusters will be broken down and will need components to be fixed.
|-
|Overheated Grav Engine
|''While landing <Gravship Name>, <pilot> over-engaged the grav engine, causing it to overheat. The grav engine will take longer than normal to cool down. In the meantime, the gravship can't be launched.''

|-
|Grav Nausea
|''While landing <Gravship Name>, <pilot> was forced to do an emergency maneuver, resulting in an intense and prolonged deceleration. The experience has left your colonists feeling extremely nauseous. The effects will quickly fade.''
|Colonists on the ship will suffer from [[Grav nausea|grav nausea]] for 2-5 hours.
|-
|}

The chance of any Gravship landing mishap is based on ritual quality:

{{Graph:Chart | width = 400 | height = 200 | xAxisTitle = Quality (%) | yAxisTitle = Chance of landing mishap (%) | type = line | x = 0, 50, 100 | y1 = 100, 25, 2}}

==Analysis==
===General===
Gravships enable a nomadic playstyle. This is practically forced by [[scenario system#The Gravship|The Gravship scenario]], which sends mechs after staying in one place for too long. They are also possible to use in a permanent, stationary colony, although a [[grav anchor]] is required so the ship does not destroy the tile.

For short trips, such as trading and non-gravship quests, the [[passenger shuttle]] is superior: it has a shorter launch cooldown, can visit settlements directly to trade (the gravship can only land nearby), costs less [[chemfuel]] per trip, and doesn't destroy the tile it's in. In addition, if a [[shuttle engine]] can be obtained via [[empire]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[sanguophage]]{{BiotechIcon}} quest, the shuttle will be cheaper than a gravship + [[grav anchor]]. However, the gravship has no weight limit, meaning it can carry any number of items and pawns, and can carry buildings that can't be uninstalled, making it better for extended stays and nomadic colonies. Additionally, nothing prevents you from placing a shuttle on a gravship and using the gravship as a carrier.

A gravship-focused colony is worth a lot of [[wealth]], due to every tile requiring [[steel]] and [[gravlite panel]]s, resulting in larger raids. While not an issue on lower difficulties, on Losing is Fun and higher, prudent [[wealth management]] is recommended for gravship colonies.

===Obtaining a Gravship===
To start building a gravship, a [[grav engine]] must be obtained, either by beginning the game with the gravship start scenario, or obtaining the grav engine via a quest that will cause a grav engine to fall onto the map from space. The grav engine can then be inspected and reinstalled at a more convenient location in order to further expand it. This quest will always appear early into a new game.

To add structures and walls such as [[gravship hull]]s, [[gravship substructure]] must be placed underneath and must be connected to the grav engine. Gravship substructure can be built using [[gravlite panel]]s, which are given in limited supply from the initial grav engine quest as well as further gravship quests. Gravship substructure acts like a floor, and everything must be placed on substructure for it to travel with the gravship.

However, gravships have a limit of 500 tiles of substructure, and all substructure must be placed within a 19-tile radius of the engine. Building [[grav field extender]]s will ease both of these limitations, increasing the tiles and build radius. Any attempt to build beyond the max supported limit of substructure will result in excess substructure, and anything placed upon them, to be left behind on launch. Any invalid substructure tiles will be highlighted in red to indicate that they are not supported and will be left behind.

=== Expeditions ===
Make sure to always bring enough resources to survive. Especially important are chemfuel, food, medicine and components to fly, eat, heal and repair.

=== Raids ===
Landing the gravship at a [[site]] owned by another faction is always a raid against that site. Raiding with the grav ship allows most or all of the player's resources to be deployed to the raid and ready for use on arrival. However, there is a risk that all raiders will suffer grav nausea from a mishap.

=== Trade ===
Landing the gravship directly at a [[faction base]] is a hostile act, and landing nearby (within 4 map tiles) creates a [[colony]], which may impose [[goodwill]] penalties{{Check Tag|Needs Detail|When does first penalty apply?}}. Nevertheless, landing at the minimum permissible distance will ensure a reasonably short caravan. Using the gravship it is possible to reach previously distant faction bases for trade in a reasonable time frame. Once [[passenger shuttle]]s are unlocked, there is nothing stopping the player from having them on the gravship for more convenient trade.

=== Additional modules and buildings ===

* [[Pilot subpersona core]]: Increases piloting efficiency by 15 percent, up to a maximum of 30.
* [[Fuel optimizer]]: Increases fuel efficiency by 30 percent, up to a maximum of 60.
* [[Gravcore power cell]]: Passively generates electricity on the ship.
* [[Signal jammer]]: Allows the gravship to land on heavily-defended orbital locations.
* [[Gravship shield generator]]: Generates a shield with a radius that blocks incoming ground level and overhead projectiles.
* [[Oxygen pump]]: Generates breathable air in enclosed areas on the ship.
* [[Vac barrier]]: Does not block entry, but prevents transfer of gases/vacuum and reduces transfer of temperature.
* [[Heater|Heaters]]: Generates heat, which is important when travelling to orbit.

=== Protecting the Gravship ===
Raids can be a great threat for any gravship, and certain raid types can cause enemies to even spawn or drop inside the ship itself. The player should therefore consider putting walls around important buildings, such as gravcore power cells and other special modules. Another effective way to prevent major damages is to always build two doors (1 vac-barrier and 1 regular door) in order to keep the ship pressurized and prevent enemies from spreading on the ship.

Also consider parking the gravship somewhere else (like on an asteroid) before attempting major raid events, such as the Anomaly ending.

===Additional information===
The game has only one memory slot for a player owned gravship. Attempting to launch two will cause conflicts and cause one of the gravships to stop existing. This only applies if you try to summon a second grav engine through devmode though.

==Summary==
[[File:Gravship minimum.png|250px|thumb|right|The absolute minimum a gravship needs to fly.]]

A functional gravship requires various parts in order to be flightworthy. A gravship begins with a [[grav engine]], and various structures and walls can be connected to the grav engine via [[gravship substructure]], which acts as the floor of the gravship. Anything built on the connected substructure will be considered part of the ship and brought along upon launch.

At the very minimum, a gravship requires only one [[small thruster]], one [[small chemfuel tank]], a [[pilot console]] and a grav engine with enough gravship substructure to connect all of the mentioned parts. A gravship of this calibre is able to travel between tiles of the world map, akin to a portable [[transport pod]] or [[passenger shuttle]] / [[imperial shuttle]].{{RoyaltyIcon}} It is possible to go into [[orbit]] at any time, but attempting to do so without [[vacuum]] protection (like [[oxygen pump]] + airtight walls or [[vacsuit]]s) will be met with a swift end.

A list of fundamental parts are listed below:
* [[Grav engine]]
* [[Gravship substructure]]
* [[Pilot console]]
* [[Small chemfuel tank]] or [[Large chemfuel tank]]
* [[Small thruster]] or [[Large thruster]]

A gravship also comes with various limitations and constraints:
* The grav engine can only initially support up to 500 tiles of gravship substructure, all of which can only be built within a radius of 19 tiles around the grav engine originating from its center.
** This limitation can be improved using [[grav field extender]]s. Each one added to a gravship increases this limit of buildable tiles by 250 tiles, up to a maximum of 2000 supported tiles with 6 grav field extenders. Grav field extenders themselves have a supported radius of 17 tiles.
* Any substructure built beyond the limit supported by a grav engine will be left behind upon launch, including anything or anyone standing on said substructure.

There is no weight limitation, and any number of pawns can travel on a gravship together.

===Launching===
A functioning gravship can be sent to any tile within its maximum range. By default, each tile traveled consumes 10 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} [[chemfuel]], with a minimum cost of 50 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} [[chemfuel]].{{Check Tag|Orbit?|Fuel cost traveling between surfance and orbit needed}} Each [[fuel optimizer]] (max. 2) reduces fuel consumption by {{---|30%}} additive, or -3 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} chemfuel/tile per optimizer, but the minimum cost remains 50 {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}}.

The max distance depends on the number of thrusters, assuming there is sufficient fuel loaded into Small or Large Chemfuel tanks:

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
| Structure || Maximum structures || Range per structure || Maximum range
|-
| Small thrusters || 4 || 10 || 40
|-
| Large thrusters || 6 || 16 || 96
|-
| Total || || || 136
|-
|}

Landing on a tile that is not a quest site or faction base will immediately create a new colony. Landing on a [[quest]] that generates a temporary map (e.g., prisoner rescue, bandit camps, [[work site]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}) will enter the map, which can be settled on after threats are cleared. Landing on a [[faction base]] will initiate an attack, with no option to trade. Gravships cannot land on tiles containing the [[peace talks]] quest or on an impassible tile, and require a [[signal jammer]] to enter certain maps in orbit.

When landing on a tile, it is possible to choose a location on the map where the gravship is placed, even if the tile is occupied by another faction. The gravship may be rotated before landing. It cannot land on tiles containing walls or other impassible tiles like [[deep water]], furniture items like [[stele]]s, roofs, [[steam geyser]]s, or tiles containing [[toxic wastepack]]s.{{BiotechIcon}} It can land if the thrusters would be blocked (represented by the orange area), but the obstructing objects will need to be cleared before launching again.

If a gravship leaves a tile with no [[grav anchor]] installed, then the map will be deleted, and cannot be returned to. Any pawns left behind will be lost. [[Toxic_wastepack|Wastepacks]] left on the map will be dumped.

===Launch ritual quality===
After landing on a tile, there is a cooldown to launch the ship again, and a mishap may occur. The cooldown and chance of a mishap is dependent on the Launch Ritual's quality:

In addition, if a [[shuttle engine]] can be obtained via [[empire]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[sanguophage]]{{BiotechIcon}} quest, the shuttle will be cheaper than a gravship + [[grav anchor]]. However, the gravship has no weight limit, meaning it can carry any number of items and pawns, and can carry buildings that can't be uninstalled, making it better for extended stays and nomadic colonies. Additionally, nothing prevents you from placing a shuttle on a gravship and using the gravship as a carrier.

A gravship-focused colony is worth a lot of [[wealth]], due to every tile requiring [[steel]] and [[gravlite panel]]s, resulting in larger raids. While not an issue on lower difficulties, on Losing is Fun and higher, prudent [[wealth management]] is recommended for gravship colonies.

To start building a gravship, a [[grav engine]] must be obtained, either by beginning the game with the gravship start scenario, or obtaining the grav engine via a quest that will cause a grav engine to fall onto the map from space.

Landing the gravship at a [[site]] owned by another faction is always a raid against that site. Raiding with the grav ship allows most or all of the player's resources to be deployed to the raid and ready for use on arrival.

* [[Fuel optimizer]]: Increases fuel efficiency by 30 percent, up to a maximum of 60.
* [[Gravcore power cell]]: Passively generates electricity on the ship.
* [[Signal jammer]]: Allows the gravship to land on heavily-defended orbital locations.

* [[Oxygen pump]]: Generates breathable air in enclosed areas on the ship.
* [[Vac barrier]]: Does not block entry, but prevents transfer of gases/vacuum and reduces transfer of temperature.
* [[Heater|Heaters]]: Generates heat, which is important when travelling to orbit.

===Protecting the Gravship===

Raids, especially fleshbeast attacks from the [[Anomaly]] DLC, can be a great threat for any gravship. Fleshbeasts may tunnel their way into the gravship, or even spawn inside of it occasionally (like during the activation of a [[corrupted obelisk]] or [[noctol]] attack). The player should therefore consider putting walls around important buildings, such as gravcore power cells and other special modules. Another effective way to prevent major damages is to always build two doors (1 vac-barrier and 1 regular door) in order to keep the ship pressurized and prevent enemies from spreading on the ship.

Also consider parking the gravship somewhere else (like on an asteroid) before attempting major raid events, like the Anomaly ending.

===Additional information===
The game has only one memory slot for a player owned gravship. Attempting to launch two will cause conflicts and cause one of the gravships to stop existing. This only applies if you try to summon a second grav engine through devmode though.
