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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

=Royalty=

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

= Ideology =

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

=Biotech=

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{stub|section=1}}

== Mechanoid Signal ==
'' You've detected a signal from a mechanoid ship in orbit. The ship has malfunctioned and is slowly losing altitude.\n\nBy falsely responding to the signal you can make the ship crashland nearby, letting you salvage valuable grav tech. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} A mechanoid ship is crashing down onto the surface.

Accepting this quest will sends down a [[grav engine]], a few dead [[mechanoids]] and some spacecraft chunks. By inspecting the engine, you unlock the Basic gravtech [[research]], allowing you to starting constructing a [[gravship]]. Deconstructing the spacecraft chunks will grant you [[Gravlite panels]] for your ship.

== The Gravship ==
'' You've discovered a mechanoid grav engine! You can use this to build a gravship to quickly move around the planet.\n\nThe engine includes tech that passively scans for nearby gravship technology. If you obtain this gravship tech, you can upgrade your gravship over time. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} You are now in the possession of a [grav engine].

Once you have inspected the [grav engine], this quest is immediately activated. While the engine is on the map, you'll passively get new sub-quests to receive new [[gravcores]] and [[gravlite panels]] to expand and upgrade your gravship.

These quests can spawn very far away from where your colony was when you receive them. Most quests can be as far as 160 tiles away from your colony. Some quests may require you to stay for many days, often in harsh conditions like the [[Scarlands]] or even in [[orbit]]. As such, traveling with a gravship is very recommended. Make sure your gravship has enough resources, food, medicine, as well as fully pressurized living areas if you're going to space.

Once any 7 of these sub-quests are completed, you'll receive the location for the [[mechanoid hive]].

=== Mechanoid Relay ===
'' You have detected the energy signature of a gravcore. It is powering a relay that is part of a huge mechanoid communication net. You can disassemble the relay, but the process will take days to complete. The relay itself will be heavily defended by mechanoids. Obtain gravcores and gravlite panels to increase the size of your gravship. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} A relay nearby is containing valuable gravship technology.

One single [[mechanoid relay]] will be present on the map along with 3 stabilizers guarded by initially dormant mechanoids. To be able to deconstruct the relay, you must disable the stabilizers by either hacking or destroying them.
*Hacking will immediately wake up the nearby mechanoids. Kill these mechanoids first before you begin hacking. Often times, your hacking will be detected and you won't be able to continue hacking it until a few hours go by. To save time, clear the map of dormant mechanoids first, then begin hacking all three at once, to minimize downtime from lockout.
*Destroying a stabilizer is much quicker, however doing this will immediately spawn reinforcements mechanoids - often more than the numbers of initial guarding mechanoids. Should you choose this option, make sure you're prepared to defend yourself and your gravship.

Once all three stabilizers are disabled, you can disassemble the relay, granting you a [[gravcore]] and some [[gravlite panels]]. One last reinforcement will drop down soon after the
relay went down.

=== Insect Lair ===
'' You have detected the energy signature of a gravcore. The signal emanates from a cave system deep underground. The entrance to the cave system is marked on the world map. Subterranean caves can be extremely dangerous and may take days to explore. Obtain gravcores and gravlite panels to increase the size of your gravship. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} A gravcore is hidden deep beneath the surface inside of a cave.

Note: 3 other sub-quests must be given before this quest can spawn.

This quest will only spawn on a mountainous tile. Multiple hives and insects colonies will be present within the caverns. Located inside the caverns is a single entrance to a underground insectoid cave. Clear your way through inside the cave, and you'll eventually find the [[gravcore]], guarded by a [[hive queen]].

=== Ancient Reactor ===
'' You have detected the energy signature of a gravcore. The signal originates from an ancient decaying reactor. The location is marked on the world map. Cracks in the reactor's shielding are leaking harmful material, bathing the nearby area in toxic fallout. The reactor itself will be heavily guarded by ancient security systems. Obtain gravcores and gravlite panels to increase the size of your gravship. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} A gravcore is located inside a leaking ancient reactor.

This quest will always spawn within a [[Scarlands]] biome. While you're on this tile, [[toxic fallout]] will cover the area. Explore the ancient complex until you find the reactor. Destroying it will give you a [[gravcore]], and also make the toxic fallout dissipate. You can also find [[gravlite panels]] within crates inside the complex.

=== Ancient Stockpile ===
'' You have detected the energy signature of a gravcore. The signal originates from an ancient underground stockpile. The location is marked on the world map. Underground stockpiles must be hacked to enter. This process can take days to complete. Obtain gravcores and gravlite panels to increase the size of your gravship. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} A gravcore is hidden inside an ancient stockpile.

Three different underground stockpiles are present on the map. To enter, you must hack the entrances, which can takes a few days. Underneath all entrances are stockpiles containing loots as well as dangerous traps and security turrets. Only one of these stockpiles will contain the [[gravcore]].

=== Crashed Mechanoid Platform ===
'' You have detected the energy signature of a gravcore. The signal is coming from the wreckage of a crashed orbital platform. Scans reveal a heavy mechanoid presence. Obtain gravcores and gravlite panels to increase the size of your gravship. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} A gravcore is located near a crash site of a mechanoid platform.

Note: 2 other sub-quests must be given before this quest can spawn.

=== Frozen Terraformer ===
'' You have detected the energy signature of a gravcore. The gravcore is powering a malfunctioning ancient terraformer. Its location is marked on the world map. The terraformer is cooling the local region to dangerously low temperatures. Be prepared for cold weather and a long stay. Obtain gravcores and gravlite panels to increase the size of your gravship. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} A gravcore is hidden inside a frozen complex.

Note: 1 other sub-quest must be given before this quest can spawn.

This quest can spawn on Glacial Plains, Ice Sheet and Tundra. In the middle of the map is an ancient complex, hidden within thick walls of ice. Dig through the ice and you'll find the complex. Destroy the terraformer located inside will grant you a [[gravcore]].

Be careful of the cold weather, make sure you have enough food and warm clothes for your colonists.

=== Mechanoid Platform ===
'' You have detected the energy signature of a gravcore. The signal is coming from an orbital mechanoid platform. Scans reveal a heavy defensive presence. You can travel to orbital platforms using gravships, shuttles, or transport pods. Be careful, orbital locations are extremely dangerous. Equip your colonists with vacsuits. Plan your return trip, as living in orbit for long periods is very difficult. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} A gravcore is located up on mechanoid platform.

=== Abandoned Orbital Platform ===
'' You have detected the energy signature of a gravcore. The signal is coming from an abandoned orbital platform. You can travel to orbital platforms using gravships, shuttles, or transport pods. Be careful, orbital locations are extremely dangerous. Equip your colonists with vacsuits. Plan your return trip, as living in orbit for long periods is very difficult. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} A gravcore is located up on an ancient platform.

Note: 5 other sub-quests must be given before this quest can spawn.

== Gravcore Mechhive ==
{{Main|Endings#The_Mechhive}}
'' You have detected a huge gravtech energy spike originating from a mechhive in orbit. Its location is marked on the world map. This mechhive is the center of mechanoid intelligence on this planet. Shutting it down will disable all murderous mechanoids planet-wide. Alternatively, you may be able to use the mechhive for your own purposes. The mechhive is defended with anti-ship weapons. Build a signal jammer before approaching it. Be warned, mechhives are extremely dangerous. Finish exploring other locations first and ensure you're prepared for a long stay in orbit. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} You have located the location of the mechhive.

== Gravship Wreckage ==
'' You've intercepted the distress beacon from a crashed gravship. The wreckage contains valuable gravtech. Be careful - it is guarded by hostile mechanoids. ''

{{OdysseyIcon}} You detected a gravship crahsed nearby.

If you lose your [[grav engine]], after a while (to a maximum of 2 years) a faction leader, or a royal title holder will tell you the location of a new engine. If none is available (due to having no friendly factions) the quest will say that you intercepted its distress beacon instead.

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

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

This quest appears roughly 20 days from game start.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This quest will appear roughly 35 days from colony start.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Part 1''':

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

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

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

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

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

'''Part 2''':

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

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

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

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

'''Part 3''':

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Ending''':

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

Doctoring

2025-07-30T11:21:36Z

NvF: Corrected a line implying the pawn needs to develop immunity to multiple infections at once.

{{Rewrite|reason = Cleanup, fact check, [[Template:Verified|verification]]}}
{{TOCright}}

'''Doctoring''' is a type of work assigned to colonists from the [[Work|Work menu]]. The [[Medical]] skill is the primary determinant for success. Colonists [[incapable]] of Caring will never perform doctor work.

Doctor work assigns pawns to the following jobs: tending to patients, tending to self (if enabled), feeding patients, performing surgical operations, rescuing downed pawns or downed tamed animals, tending to and operating on animals, feeding ill animals, and cheering up patients.

How well a colonist performs in Doctoring mainly depends on their medical [[skill]], the quality of [[medicine]] used, and the cleanliness of the [[room]] in which they are operating. The doctor's physical condition plays an important role, too.

Doctors can heal other colonists, guests, prisoners or animals and will prioritize life-threatening wounds and illnesses before tending minor conditions.

Doctors can "self-tend" at 70% effectiveness to treat their own wounds or illnesses. Disabled by default, the self-tend option can be enabled in a pawn's Health-overview.

== Skill ==
{{Recode|section=1|reason=Numbers reported as out of date}}
The Medicine skill is the center skill of doctoring in RimWorld. It directly multiplies the treatment quality as well as surgery success chance and healing speed before other factors are taken in. All values in this table take post-processing into account where necessary.

{{Medicine Experience Gain Table|{{STDT| c_10 text-center}} }}

== Medicines ==
Medicine is used to improve the results of doctoring, therefore improving recovery from injuries and disease, and also allowing operations to be performed. Another perk to using medicine is that medicine is typically able to heal multiple low severity injuries (up to max of 20 damage worth of severity), which is something that 'dry-bandaging' can't do.

There are currently three types of medicine in RimWorld: the organic [[herbal medicine]], the standard [[medicine]], and the rare [[glitterworld medicine]] - in order from least potent to most potent.

It is possible to change the default healthcare given to pawns. Defaults to glitterworld medicine for colonists, herbal meds for everybody else, and no medicine for [[entities]].{{AnomalyIcon}}. To do this go under assign or animals and click on the medicine icon next to a pawn, holding click and dragging allows multiple pawns to have their medicine changed. The default medicine assigned can be changed by going under a pawn's health tab and clicking "Allow medicine" and then "change defaults"
=== Treatment options ===
Five treatment options are available; none at all, doctor care, herbal medicine or worse, regular medicine or worse, or best quality medical care.

For prisoners and guests the default is herbal medicine; colonists default to best care available.

In the early game, however, it is ideal to set the medical policy so that all pawns on the map only get basic doctor treatment. This allows precious medicine to be stockpiled for emergencies and operations, rather than wasted on minor injuries.

=== No medical care ===
this option prevents pawns from receiving any sort of medical care. Leaving them to die or rarely recover on their own.

As doctor care does not require any medicine, this option is not recommended unless your intent is to let the pawn die. If the colony has [[Ideoligion#Slaughtering_animals|Slaughtering animals]]{{IdeologyIcon}} precept, this can be useful to prevent doctors from tending to pen animals that inevitably overpopulate and start starving to death, saving their time for other matters. Pawns with that precept are not affected by tamed animals dying to natural causes.

=== Doctor care, but no medicine ===
[[File:Doctor care but no medicine.png|left]]
Doctors will attempt to perform a treatment without any sort of medicine, this is far slower then without medicine and treats only 1 wound at a time, due to the lower potency chances of infection occurring or immunity being outpaced by severity on diseases are higher. '''Note''' that it is not possible to do most operations without medicine.<br>
This is also ideal to use on bruises or long-term ailments that can't cause death in-order to save resources, such as [[asthma]], and [[Sensory mechanites|Sensory]]/[[Fibrous mechanites|Fibrous Mechanites]]

=== Herbal medicine ===
[[{{Q|Herbal medicine|Image}}|left|link=Herbal medicine]]
[[Herbal medicine]] is an organic medicine which can be grown from [[healroot]], or acquired from tribal factions. It is a cheap medicine that can be used for bleeding injuries or diseases that don't need more then 70% treatment, operations with a high success rate or where the patient's life doesn't matter such as organ-harvesting.

=== Medicine ===
[[{{Q|Medicine|Image}}|left|link=Medicine]]
Standard [[medicine]] is the benchmark of medical treatment solutions, and is also producible at a [[drug lab]] by combining herbal medicine, [[neutroamine]], and [[cloth]]. It can additionally be purchased from outlanders and orbital traders, and is occasionally dropped by pirate raiders and mercenaries.

Medicine is best used for bridging the immunity gap of illnesses or for installing body parts though the risk of failure is still present. Odds can be improved by boosting manipulation through drugs like [[go-juice]] and [[wake-up]] or implants.

It's not the best idea to excise cancerous growths using ordinary medicine due to its 0.7x success factor and 25% death chance on failure- unless your surgeon has at least a surgery success chance of 128.5% (achievable with a pair of bionic arms) - which translates to a roughly 90% success chance.

=== Glitterworld medicine ===
[[{{Q|Glitterworld medicine|Image}}|left|link=Glitterworld medicine]]

[[Glitterworld medicine]] is the most powerful medicine out of the three types available, and can only be found through trading with exotic good traders and faction bases or as a quest reward. Despite the high price, Glitterworld Medicine carries a value which no other medicine can carry: enhanced medical potency. Naturally, due to the cost, Glitterworld Medicine isn't worth the price for treating trivial diseases or injuries - but it makes surgery ''significantly'' easier, and allows even mediocre doctors to guarantee success in operations.

It is mostly useful for lowering the luck factor in treatment for diseases that would be otherwise lethal or low success rate operations such as excising cancerous growths, or installing bionics. Other medicine will be satisfactory for injuries or diseases with a low immunity to severity gap.

With DLCs Glitterworld medicines gains more uses for treating [[paralytic abasia]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} and [[blood rot]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} which cost 10, and the [[Biosculpter pod]]'s {{IdeologyIcon}} bioregeneration cycle costs 2 and treats missing small limbs and scars.

== Treatment ==
Basic medical work involving tending to wounds and illnesses. Treating wounds stop them from bleeding and reduce the chance of infections, while tending to illnesses slows them down allowing your colonists' immune systems to catch up and pull ahead.

Each individual treatment can have any quality from 0 - 130%, depending on the medicine used. Higher quality makes infections less likely and slows down illnesses more.

After each treatment there will be text feedback showing the wound/illness tended and the quality of the treatment. Only 1 injury will generate feedback at a time even if multiple are treated at once.

=== Tend quality ===
First, Base Tend Quality is calculated. Then, other factors apply if relevant. Tend Quality is adjusted up to 25% up or down randomly. Finally, the Tend quality is limited to a range between 0% and the Max Tend Quality of the medicine used.

'''1. Base Tend Quality'''
:<code>'''Base Tend Quality''' = [[Medical Tend Quality|Medical Tend Quality]] × [[Medical Potency]]</code>

:'''1.a. Offsets from hospital bed and vitals monitor'''
::If applicable, Medical Tend Quality Offset from the bed is added to the Base Tend Quality value. This offset only exists on Hospital Beds and Vitals Monitors attached to hospital beds. No other beds have Medical Tend Quality Offset.

::Laying Down is not a factor. Draft tends on injured colonists standing up will have the same Medical Tend Qualities as tends while laying in a standard bed.

::<code>'''Medical Tend Quality with Offset''' = Base Tend Quality + 0.1 Hospital Bed (if applicable) + 0.07 Vitals Monitor (if applicable)</code>

:'''1.b. Self tend factor'''
::If Self Tending, Tend Quality with Offset is adjusted by 70%.

::<code>'''Medical Tend Quality with Self Tend''' = Medical Tend Quality with Offset * 0.7 Self Tend Factor (if applicable)</code>

'''2. Randomization'''
:Medical Tend Quality is then randomized.

:<code>'''Randomized Tend Quality''' = Medical Tend Quality with Self Tend * Random Value between 0.75 and 1.25</code>

'''3. Maximum tend quality'''
:The Final Tend Quality is then limited to a range of 0 to Maximum Tend Quality from Medicine used.

:<code>'''Final Tend Quality''' = Clamped 0% to Maximum Tend Quality from Medicine</code>

:The maximum tend quality of each medicine is as follows:
:* '''70%''' for {{Icon Small|herbal medicine}} [[herbal medicine]] or no medicine
:* '''100%''' for {{Icon Small|medicine}} [[medicine]]
:* '''130%''' for {{Icon Small|glitterworld medicine}} [[glitterworld medicine]]

'''Notes:'''
* [[Light]] is ''not'' a factor of Medical Tend Quality. It is, however, a factor of [[Global Work Speed]] and thus of Medical Tend Speed and a factor of [[Surgery Success Chance]].
* [[Cleanliness]] is ''not'' a factor of Medical Tend Quality. It is, however, a factor of [[Infection|Infection Chance]].
* Being indoors or outdoors is ''not'' a factor of Medical Tend Quality. It is, however, a factor of cleanliness and thus Infection Chance.

==== Total tend quality ====
Some medical issues are cured when the sum of all tends performed reach a certain value. This is described as "total tend quality". The current total and the required total to cure will be displayed in the mouse-over menu on the issue in question on the pawn's health menu. The value will not be displayed for issues not cured by total tend quality, so its presence is a clear indicator of how to cure the issue.

The following use this mechanic:
* [[Gut worms]]
* [[Muscle parasites]]

=== Draft Tending ===
Drafted colonists can be forced to tend wounds of injured pawns using right click. The injured pawn does not need to be laying down in order to be draft tended. One can even Draft Tend an injured pawn on a non-aggressive mental break or a downed enemy in the field. The tend quality of Draft Tended injuries uses the same formula as undrafted treatment. The "Tend (without medicine)" option is useful for emergency treatment. The option "Tend ___" that does not say (without medicine) will use the medicine in the doctor's inventory regardless of the targets medical settings. After using the medicine in inventory, the doctor will grab the nearest medicine of any quality.

== Operations ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=More complete operations table - rough outline of one available [[User:Harakoni/Sandbox#Operations|here]]}}
[[File:Installing bionic arm.png|right|300px]]
An '''operation''' is a [[bill]] to be performed on a [[colonist]] by a doctor. This may involve the removal or addition of [[body parts]], administration of [[drugs]] or excising [[Carcinoma|carcinomas]]. Many operations require a minimum [[Medical|Medical skill]] (e.g. excising a [[carcinoma]] requires level 10). Some operations require a minimum [[medicine]] level ([[Herbal medicine]] is the minimum required medicine for most operations).

=== Operation Success Rate ===
When an operation is performed, a degree of chance is calculated to assess the probability that the outcome of the operation will be successful.

This is determined as a product of:
* The [[Medical Surgery Success Chance|Surgery Success Chance]] stat of the surgeon performing the operation
* The [[Medical Potency]] stat of the [[Medicine]] used for performing the operation
* The [[Surgery Success Chance Factor]] stat of a [[bed]] or other [[sleep furniture]] upon which the operation is performed
* The Success Rate Multiplier for the specific operation
* [[Mental inspiration#Inspired surgery|Inspired Surgery]] Factor

This may be expressed as:<br>
<code>'''Operation Success Rate''' = [[Medical Surgery Success Chance|Surgery Success Chance <sub>Surgeon</sub>]] × [[Surgery Success Chance Factor|Surgery Success Chance <sub>Bed</sub>]] × [[Medical Potency]] × Operation Success Rate Multiplier × [[Mental inspiration#Inspired surgery|Inspired Surgery]] Factor</code>

Note that additionally:
* The resulting '''Operation Success Rate''' is capped at {{%|0.98}}.
* If the '''Operation Success Rate Multiplier''' is ''Can't fail'', the '''Operation Success Rate''' will always be 100%, regardless of any other stats.

=== Calculating success ===
'''Surgeon's [[Medical Surgery Success Chance]] stat'''
* Determined by Medical skill. (see [[#Skill]] section)
* [[Manipulation]] acts as a direct multiplier. For example, 115% Manipulation = x1.15 success.
* [[Sight]] acts as a direct multiplier at 100% and below. For example, 90% Sight = x0.9 success but 110% Sight = x1 success.

'''Bed's [[Surgery Success Chance Factor]] stat'''
* Determined by type of bed and its quality. [[Bed]]s and [[bedroll]]s have a modifier of 1.0. [[Hospital bed]]s have a modifier of 1.15. [[Quality]] is a multiplier. Material does not matter.
* Then multiplied by the room's [[cleanliness]] stat. It is 1 for 0 cleanliness and 1.018 for a clean room with [[Sterile tile|sterile]] flooring. The minimum is 0.6, reached at -5 cleanliness and also applied outdoors.
* Then multiplied by [[light]] factor. If the head of the bed has lighting below 50%, there is a penalty. It reaches 0.75 for complete darkness.
* If surgery is done outdoors, there is an 0.85 penalty multiplier (on top of the above-mentioned 0.6 cleanliness multiplier).

'''[[Medical Potency]]'''
* Determined by the type of medicine. The [[medicine]] item (industrial medicine) has a modifier of 1.0. (see [[Medical Potency]])

'''Operation Success Rate Multiplier'''
* Modifier dependent on the type of operation.

With the [[Anomaly]] DLC surgical inspections can be used to diagnose hediffs before they are made visible. This operation deals [[Damage#cut|cut damage]] to a random body part '''including the brain''' and checks for any hediffs on the pawn.

Note that a doctor may lie about the results of the inspection if it is in their own self-interest. The only currently known case where this will happen is when the doctor has been implanted with a [[metalhorror]] and would otherwise discover a metalhorror in another pawn - the doctor will instead say they found nothing.{{Check Tag|When else?|testing with metalhorrors cobfirm that an uninfected doctor won't lie even if they have a good, bad or romantic relationship with the subject. wb void fascination doctors, wb pawns with other discoverable problems. test each}}.

[[Metalhorror]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} lack a description and instead emerge if they were detected beforehand through interrogation or enough samples were collected to reveal it through a surgical inspection.

=== Failure ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=How are they selected?}}
If an operation fails then the colonist will take damage, and materials (including prosthetics) will be wasted. For lesser failures, damage is concentrated near the site of the operation, while for the ridiculous failures they can be found anywhere in the body.

There are 3 kinds of surgical failure in-game.
*Minor: Deals a little damage, and will not destroy any body parts.
*Catastrophic: Deals great damage, and usually destroys body parts outright.
*Ridiculous: Deals great damage scattered across the entire body.

In addition, each operation has a death on failure chance; when it fails it is possible that the [[colonist]] instantly dies.

=== Available targets ===
Surgeons can perform operations on colonists, prisoners or guests. Performing harmful operations on guests or prisoners will anger the faction.

Tamed animals can be operated on as well, though there are limited options. [[Downed]] wild animals with the exception of [[Insectoids]] can also be operated on once dragged to an animal sleeping spot. [[Entities]] {{AnomalyIcon}} except for [[Ghoul]]s {{AnomalyIcon}} cannot be operated on at all.

=== Tips on Improving Success ===
The difference between a level 10 surgeon (93% base surgery success chance) and a level 20 surgeon (99%) is only a 6.5% gain in surgical success rate. The difference between Herbal Medicine (60% potency) and Glitterworld Medicine (160% potency) is a 167% increase in surgical success rate.

Due to the 98% success cap, using glitterworld medicine for surgeries is mostly only worthwhile in lower-quality surgical environments (less cleanliness, lower quality hospital beds, unskilled doctors). Beyond that point, industrial medicine is sufficient for the purposes of surgery.

== Infection ==
When a bed is set to be medical, selecting it shows the infection chance modifier of the room. The overall chance of infection is affected by tend quality, and then multiplied by the aforementioned number. Any bed, no matter what it is, has a 100% modifier on infection when outdoors, and only an incredibly dirty room can get close to this number. However, even at an 80% modifier, wounds tended by an unskilled doctor using herbal meds is likely to be around 10-20% infection chance '''per wound'''. As each infection will share the same immunity progress, this is not as bad as it may sound - if the pawn has immunity to an infection, they are effectively immune to all infections until the last one fades away.

It is much better to make the hospital as clean as possible. Start by covering or removing all natural floors (dirt, sand etc. but excluding stone) and ensure that the hospital is cleaned before tending to pawns. Keep all pawns, especially animals out to keep the room as clean as possible. Infection chance multiplier will likely become around the 40-50% mark or even lower. Next, unlock sterile tiles. A room with 0.6 cleanliness can have multipliers near 30%. To see the cleanliness of rooms, toggle on the room stats view on the bottom right corner and then mouse over the hospital (or any other room for that matter). Dirt, animal filth among other things drastically reduces cleanliness, and it also reduces beauty. This makes it possible to locate and prioritize cleaning through the beauty view. Remember to clean before the treatment when possible.

One of the most difficult things about keeping a hospital clean is bleeding. Bleeding colonists will leave blood on the floor, and blood reduces cleanliness. Someone hemorrhaging to death may create 4 or 5 blood splatters on the floor in a very short time, and if this is happening to multiple colonists after a disastrous raid, your doctor alone may not be enough to keep the room clean. Bring in another colonist or two to clean up after other patients awaiting treatment. What is important is the cleanliness at the time of treatment.

Other things like the presence of hospital beds and better medicine/doctors can reduce infection chance to next to nothing, and make it a non-issue when it does occasionally arise.

== Strategies ==
You will often need to make the most out of the doctors you have, to ensure maximum doctoring efficiency and colonist survival rate/ well-being.

=== Triage ===
You should have doctors prioritize treating patients according to their illness/infection/injury severity.

# Bleeding colonists should receive priority care as they may bleed to death or receive nasty infections. Always prioritize colonists closer to death.
#* Colonists about to die (<1 hours until death) are generally not worth saving unless you have extremely good bionic-enhanced doctors that can reach and patch them up in time.
#** Strip them to recover their clothes so they won't become tainted. How you will deal with the dead colonist is up to you.
#** If a [[Biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}} is available, put them in it on the medic cycle, this is also useful for infections that have about a 10% immunity to severity gap.
#** If you have a colonist with the [[Coagulate]]{{BiotechIcon}} ability, such as a [[Sanguophage]],{{BiotechIcon}} it can even save colonists who are mere seconds away from death.
#* Colonists that are very close (1-4 hours till death) to dying should have the best doctors care over them. Draft-tending on the spot may be preferable to rescue.
#* Colonists with around 5-8 hours before death can be treated by regular doctors, or by good doctors without medicine.
#* Colonists with 12 hours or more till death can wait.
# Colonists sick with deadly diseases should also receive priority care, especially those with wound [[infection]]s or the [[plague]].
# Non-bleeding colonists aren't in a great risk of both infections or blood loss; they should be put on the bottom of your priority list.

If left undirected, doctors will automatically tend in order:

# The nearest patients that will die from blood loss in 18 hours
# The nearest human patients
# Himself/herself if self-tend is enabled
# (Feed patients in bed)
# (Surgeries)
# (Rescue downed colonists and pets by taking them to bed)
# The nearest non-human patients

Note that this automatic priority does not take into account the overall severity and lethality of all the illnesses, infections, and injuries afflicting patients, other than the death from blood loss in 18 hours limit. Nor does it prioritize colonists over prisoners or visitors. If imminent death is a concern, it's not a good idea to rely on this default behavior.

=== Medicine allocation ===
Doctors will always tend to use the best medicine possible by default. To counteract this, set colonists' healthcare to Normal medicine or worse. Switch to Glitterworld medicine only if the colonist is down with a fast-working illness and you don't have a decent doctor on board, or they are about to receive a difficult operation.

You can also manually forbid medicine so they will be forced to use lower-tier medicine, so you can save your better medicine for later.

You should try to split your medicine apart into many stacks. If a doctor is about to treat a patient and someone else is getting medicine from a stack, your doctor will use medicine from another stack, or if there's none, he will try to dry-bandage the injured colonist. To combat this, you can draft doctors to go towards the medicine stacks, and manually un-draft and assign them to treat colonists when a doctor is finished taking the medicine.

=== Positioning ===
Medicine should always be put near the hospital. Don't put them right inside the hospital as it reduces beauty unless you're willing to build a shelf to put them in.
If you're anticipating the need for a treatment, have a doctor stand near your stocks of medicine. You can immediately get the doctor to heal them without having to have him go to the medicine storage and back, saving time. If using primarily herbal meds then it is best to cool the room. It will rarely be necessary to freeze them, but it could make the difference

=== Hospital design ===
[[File:8 hospital beds compact.png|150px|thumb|right|Compact placement of 8 hospital beds around a [[vitals monitor]].]]
{{Stub|section=1|reason=This section is good base but theres room for further develpment}}
* Assuming you're constructing new beds, or comparing beds of the same quality, prioritize [[hospital bed]]s over other bed types, and beds over [[bedroll]]s. Avoid using [[sleeping spot]]s unless necessary. However, also see the note on quality below.
* Compare the stats of the beds placed in the hospital - while Immunity Gain Speed Factor depends solely on the type of bed, Surgery Success Chance Factor is dependent on [[quality]]. A surgery is more likely to succeed on a Good [[Bed]] than an Awful Hospital Bed, but the opposite is true for surviving or recovering from [[diseases]].
* A well-equipped hospital will have one or more [[vitals monitor]]s, which give a bonus to several doctoring-related values, including fighting [[infection]]s and general healing.
* [[Sterile tile]]s improve cleanliness and thus outcomes. [[Steel tile]]s offer a lesser but still significant buff, and are significantly more accessible due to lower cost and work requirements, as well as being unlocked by a research project that is far more generally useful.
* Ensure that that every bed has 50% [[light]] around it. Consider lighting the entire room to allow you to safely place additional sleeping spots in case of overflow.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.9.722|0.9.722]] - Surgery can fail now, sometimes catastrophically. Failure chance is related to the surgeon’s medical skill and the quality of the medicine.
* Alpha 17 - It is now possible to change the default healthcare given to pawns. Defaults to best meds for colonists and herbal meds for everybody else.
* Beta 18 - all surgeries now have a minimum 2% chance of failure, no matter how good everything is.
* [[Version/1.3.3159|1.3.3159]] - Display current and required total tend qualities in the tooltip for hediffs with HediffComp_TendDuration comp.
* [[Version/1.3.3200|1.3.3200]] - Total tend quality info is now only displayed if the hediff disappears after a certain level of tend quality (since it's fairly useless otherwise).

'''Bridges''' are [[structures]] that can be built on [[Terrain|water]], and allow light buildings on top of them.

== Acquisition ==
Building a bridge requires {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work. They can only be constructed on the following terrain types:
* [[Terrain#Marshy soil|Marshy soil]]
* [[Terrain#Mud|Mud]]
* [[Terrain#Marsh|Marsh]]
* [[Terrain#Shallow water|Shallow water]]
* [[Terrain#Shallow ocean water|Shallow ocean water]]
* [[Terrain#Shallow moving water|Shallow Moving water]]
* [[Terrain#Chest-deep moving water|Chest-Deep Moving water]]

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=destroyOnBombDamageThreshold of 35. Verify in-game and add}}
While structures, bridges act similar to a [[floor]] tile. Unlike the water its on, bridges don't penalize movement, making travel faster. They can also support structures that require a terrain affordance of "light", such as wooden [[walls]] and buildings, but not structures that require medium or heavy terrain affordance, like any other type of wall.

Bridges can be damaged or destroyed by [[fire]] or explosions.{{Check Tag|Specificity|Any explosion or only Bomb type?}} When destroyed, whatever is built on top will be destroyed alongside it.

Bridges can also be removed from the "Remove Bridge" gizmo under Architect/Structures.

== Analysis ==
Bridges are essential if you need certain objects on water or marshy soil, such as wood walls, or [[moisture pump]]s, which can remove the water. Due to the faster move speed, colonists and [[raider]]s alike may path through the bridge, allowing you to control their movement.

In practice, raiders will not attack ''any'' wall or door unless 1. they are [[sapper]]s or [[breacher]]s, or 2. they have no reasonable target to access to without breaking a wall. Therefore, surrounding your [[watermill generator]]s with wooden walls over bridges is relatively safe.

[[Power conduit]]s can be built on bridges, replacing the need for [[waterproof conduit]]s. The latter costs {{icon small|steel||10}} [[steel]], which is 10x more than a regular conduit. However, the bridge has its own wood cost, and bridges are much more vulnerable to [[fire]].

== Version history ==
* [[Version/1.2.2753|1.2.2753]] - Can now be auto-rebuilt.

The term "'''generator'''" or "'''fueled generator'''" may refer to a number of different items in RimWorld.

These include:
* [[Wood-fired generator]] - a [[wood]]-powered [[power]] source, known as a '''fueled generator''' prior Beta 18.
* [[Chemfuel powered generator]] - a [[chemfuel]]-powered power source, that is more efficient than its wood-fired counterpart.
* [[Solar generator]] - aka "solar panel", that converts sunlight to power.
* [[Geothermal generator]] - that converts the heat from [[geyser]]s into power.
* [[Watermill generator]] - that relies on moving water to create power.
* [[Tornado generator]] - a single-use [[utility]] item that can be used to create an uncontrollable tornado.
* [[Ancient generator]]{{IdeologyIcon}} - a non-functional structure found in [[ruins]].
* [[Toxifier generator]]{{BiotechIcon}} - that generates large amounts of power in exchange for problematic [[Toxic wastepack]]s.

"'''Generator'''" may also be used generally to refer to any structure that creates power. Not including those listed above, these include:
* [[Wind turbine]] - that converts [[weather|wind]] into some-what intermittent power.
* [[Ship reactor]] - that creates a perpetual supply of power and is necessary for the [[Ending the game#Ship Launch|Ship Launch]] ending, but calls [[raid]]s for 15 days upon activation
* [[Vanometric power cell]] - that creates perpetual supply of power that cannot be constructed and is only available as a [[quest]] reward.
* [[Unstable power cell]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} - that creates perpetual supply of power that cannot be constructed and is only available from [[mech cluster]]s.{{RoyaltyIcon}} Results in a massive explosion when damaged.

Sanguophages

2022-12-21T09:33:58Z

NvF: transplanted table from Genes to improve legibility

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
{{Spoiler}}
'''Sanguophages''' are an exceptionally rare and powerful [[Xenotypes|xenotype]] with a deathly intolerance to heat and sunlight. They use their superhuman powers to satiate their genetic need for [[hemogen|human blood]].

== Lore ==

<blockquote><small>''The first sanguophage appeared thousands of years ago when the lord-explorer Varan-Dur sought to control a hyperintelligent archotech and found himself transformed by it instead. Every sanguophage is descended from him. Since then, sanguophages have often been hunted because of their destabilizing power and their need for blood. Since they can pass for baseliners, many live in hiding among typical humans.</blockquote>
<blockquote>Their numbers are unknown. Some think they are legends or rare irrelevancies. Some believe sanguophages secretly direct entire human civilizations. The stories speak of eternal lords ruling billions from slate-black space stations, or directing blood sacrifices at conferences in the underlayers of the deepest urbworlds'.' - '''Biotech preview #4: Xenotypes, world factions, and the dark blood-drinkers'''</small></blockquote>

== Summary ==
Sanguophages are a mysterious but powerful group of xenohumans. They have no distinguishing looks from other xenohumans, so they blend in at first glance. Once selected, their differences are immediately apparent, from their hemogen and deathrest trackers at the bottom of the screen, to their unique abilities and immense genetic differences. Sanguophages have a genetic complexity of 57 and their xenogerm contains 8 [[Archite capsule|archite capsules]], while other xenohumans have far less complexity and don't require any capsules. Sanguophage metabolic efficiency is 0, not affecting their hunger rate in any way.
=== Genes ===
Sanguophage genes are xenogenes and are only obtainable through genetic implantation, either through their gene implanter ability or through [[gene extractor]]s.

== Origins ==
Sanguophages can be obtained in multiple ways.
* Sanguophage scenario : You start the game with a Sanguophage.
* Recruitment: You capture and recruit a Sanguophage, or one joins as a wanderer.
* Gene implant : You can force Sanguophages to use their gene implant ability on one of your pawns if they are captured or downed. Select the desired pawn to gain these abilities, and then right-click on the sanguophage and choose the "Absorb xenogerm" option. If the sanguophage's genes are currently regrowing, this will kill them.
* Quest : You allow 2 or more Sanguophages hold a meeting at your colony. One of the quest rewards will allow you to choose a pawn to be implanted with Sanguophage genes.
* Quest : You get word that a sanguophage and his thralls are about to crash, and you can signal them to land at your colony (or nearby). You are advised that if you capture the sanguophage you can force them to implant a xenogerm in one of your colonists.

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
'''Yttakin''' are a [[Xenotypes|xenotype]], genetically engineered to live on ultra-cold planets.

== Lore ==

<blockquote><small>''Since they migrated off their icy birthworld of Yttak, Yttakin settlements live on many planets. Their fur, roaring voices, and aversion to urban living sometimes leads naive outsiders to believe they are simple-minded animals. Quick-minded Yttakin are happy to make good use of such wrong beliefs, whether at the negotiating table or on the battlefield.'' - '''Tynan'''</small>
</blockquote>

== Summary ==
Yttakin (pronounced roughly as ee-ta-keen) descend from colonists engineered to thrive on ultra-cold planets. Their great size and fur make them hardy in frozen environments. Yttakin share a psychic connection with the wildlife and can summon animals to their side during battles. They are not fast or energetic or precise, but can keep going when others would have collapsed long before.

==Analysis==

Yttakin thrive in colder climates. Their furskin and furry tails keeps them warm, even while wearing little clothes. Their naked speed gene makes them a solid contender for having the nudist trait (as they grow up as children). Paired with a heavy bandolier this gives a +20 mood boost, a 10-20% dps increase when carrying a ranged weapon, and the speed of a fast walker. In melee fights they can also stand their ground. The strong melee and robust genes gives them an edge over most other genotypes.

Aggressive and slow wound healing is a mixed bag. They will gain more experience in melee because of an increased likelihood of social fights, but it will take two times longer to heal compared to pawns who do not have that gene. Therefore, it might be best to focus on ranged combat, especially when doing a naked run, with combat implants in case enemy fighters get to close. Besides this, they should also use their ability whenever they can to have animals tank damage for them.

Neanderthals

NvF: transplanted table from Genes to improve legibility

{{Stub}}
'''Neanderthals''' are a [[Xenotypes|xenotype]] of slow and sturdy humans.

== Lore ==

<blockquote><small>''Neanderthals are stocky, powerfully-built humanoids. Their most salient characteristic is that they are difficult to hurt: they are very resistant to injury, and their strong immune systems protect them from infection. However, without ever having evolved in a complex civilization, they are less adept than baseliner humans at intellectual and social tasks, and their impulsiveness can make them dangerously aggressive.<br>Homo neanderthalensis was originally an archaic population of hominids that emerged over 200,000 years ago during the Pleistocene epoch. After they were replaced by and merged with humans 30,000 years ago, they were absent for tens of thousands of years until scientists resurrected them from ancient DNA. Neanderthals now survive in sub-societies on some settled planets. On the rimworlds, neanderthal tribes carve out the same existence as their Earth ancestors did so long ago.'' - '''In Game Description'''</small>
</blockquote>

== Summary ==
Neanderthals are slow in more ways than one, but they are excellent survivors. They are also strongly suited for melee fighting, and much less for shooting. They cannot be easily identified at first glance, but if you get in a fight with one, their unique talent for staying upright will soon be apparent. Their genetic complexity is 12, with a metabolic efficiency of +2, giving them a hunger rate of x80%.

=== Genes ===
Neanderthal [[Genes|genes]] are germline, so all of their genes are inheritable:

There is also a small chance for them to show up with [[Empire]] parties, and a slight chance they will appear with [[Outlanders|outlanders]] or [[Pirates|pirate bands]].

Impids

NvF: transplanted table from Genes to improve legibility

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
'''Impids''' are a [[Xenotypes|xenotype]] of fire-breathing devilish desertpeople. They are adapted well to the desert, but sacrifice ability with melee fighting, plants, and animals, to accomplish this. They're recognizable by their horns, bright skin, and fire-breathing attacks.

== Lore ==
<blockquote><small>''Made for desert life, impid cultures live on many rimworlds and dry deathworlds. Impids are extremely fast-moving, easily tolerate high temperatures, and can spew fire from their mouths. Though they are masters on the sand, impids struggle in other environments. They are terrible with farming. They fight well at range, but in close combat their physical weakness becomes apparent.<br>Outlanders call them dustrunners because of their speed over open terrain and resistance to heat. Some tribes call them devils because of their horns and because they burn their enemies.<br>The savage impid tribe has no intention of coexisting peacefully with anyone else. Their warriors are experts at using their natural speed and flame attacks to burn the towns and children of other peoples. Impid tribes' combat tactics usually center on rapid-approach incendiary attacks using both handheld fire weapons and their fire spew ability.<br>Having been on the planet for thousands of years, the origins of this tribe are lost in myth. They might descend from a group of settlers who lost their technology, or an impid community in some long-ruined civilization.'' - '''In Game Description'''</small>
</blockquote>

== Summary ==
Impids generally live in the desert and their genes reflect this. Their genetic complexity is 11, and metabolic efficiency is 0, giving no effect on their hunger rate.

=== Genes ===
Impids have a mixed bag of physical abilities, but their fire spew ability is their main talent. They also have flame-colored skin, horns, blond hair, with no beards, making them quite recognizable. Their genes are all hereditary germline genes, unlike the xenogenes of some other xenotypes, like [[Hussars|hussars]].

Highmates

2022-12-21T08:33:01Z

NvF: transplanted table from Genes to improve legibility

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
'''Highmates''' are a [[Xenotypes|xenotype]], commercially available for those who aspire being one.

== Lore ==

<blockquote><small>''On a few wealthy worlds, highmate xenogerms are commercially available and some people become highmates as a sort of career. However, many societies find them abhorrent, either because they distract people from forming natural families, or because they are humans shaped to serve the pleasures of another. On such worlds they are either reserved as playthings of the powerful, or banned entirely. This particular line of highmate fits the fashions of classical Novaroma, but many other variants exist.'' - '''Tynan'''</small>
</blockquote>

== Summary ==
Because Highmates always sport irregular skin color and their distinguishable snow-white hair, Highmates tend to stick out more in large groups. Highmates have a genetic complexity of 16 and a metabolic efficiency of 0, giving them the default x100% hunger rate.

Although Highmates lack much use in a colony (outside of their great social skill), their inherent beauty makes them more likely to find a partner. Combined with a high libido, Highmates can provide an opportunity for your colony to reproduce when you lack the technologies necessary for artificial reproduction.

They are extremely capable at digging or mining tasks. In the open, however, they suffer from a sensitivity to light, slow speed and poor eyesight at distance.

After the first tunnel colonies failed due to the stress of confinement, colonization agencies began genetically altering colonists to live without open space or sunlight. This xenotype are known colloquially as dirtmoles. Today, dirtmoles have expanded out of their original tunnel homes and rule many confined spaces in the anthrosphere.

==Analysis==

The genes of the dirtmole xenotype makes it an excellent choice for underground bases. Because they have dark vision, there is no need to invest in lights. Slow runner gives an incentive to keep the base small, and to let the fight come to you in case of raids. Enemies will move slower in darkness, which makes the dirtmoles move relatively faster when there is no light. Indoor distances are also shorter, which helps with nearsighted. Strong melee damage makes it win most 1 versus 1 fights, and fast wound healing helps healing the wounds quickly.

Compared to some other genotypes, the dirtmole has no big skill disadvantage (e.g., weak plants). Intense UV sensitivity, nearsighted, and slow runner are largely offset by the living underground, which can be achieved quickly because of the great mining skill. In the rare circumstance that the dirtmole needs to go outside, it is preferred they do so at night.

==== Synergy with other DLC ====

Dirtmoles synergize well with the tunneler ideoligion.

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
'''Genies''' are a [[Xenotypes|xenohuman]] breed that's cool as a cucumber, with the social skills of one too. Designed to be engineers, they are great at crafting and researching, but sacrifice farming and social skills for these talents.

== Lore ==
<blockquote><small>''Designed to be engineers, genies' delicate bones and natural aptitude with machines allow them to manipulate devices with remarkable precision. They are emotionally cold and can follow orders where others might panic. However, they are fragile, and their amplified nerve impulses make them easy to debilitate with relatively little pain. With so much of their brains dedicated to analyzing machines, they lack the neural hardware to analyze emotions, so they sometimes come off as socially inept. Their dead calm makes it even harder for them to relate to what they see as madly-hotheaded baseliner humans.<br>Genies were engineered thousands of years ago by a long-disbanded space navy to hold engineering positions on large starships. Today, genies still serve as engineers in great cities and fleets, but many can also be found working as lawyers, pilots, and musicians.'' - '''In Game Description'''</small>
</blockquote>

== Summary ==
Genies blend in more than many other xenotypes, but they always are hairless, with slight bodies. Their genes are non-hereditary [[Xenogenes|xenogenes]], like their aggressive super-soldier counterparts, [[Hussars|hussars]]. Genies have a gene complexity of 11 and metabolic efficiency of +1, giving them a hunger rate of x90%.

{{about|the [[xenotype]]|the [[textile]]|pigskin}}
'''Pigskins''' are a [[Xenotypes|xenotype]], genetically engineered for their organs.

== Lore ==
Human-pig hybrids, Pigskins were initially created for organ-harvesting operations by a long-gone government that was uncomfortable with the thought of exploiting baseliners. However, they found success in their attempt to merge human DNA with that of a pig - to make easier transplantable organs such as hearts and lungs - creating a more humanlike being than anticipated.

They retain similar characteristics to baseliners; capable of speech, tool usage and bipedal movement. However, they do maintain piglike elements. Pigskins have a robust digestive system and can eat almost anything without getting sick, however, a notable drawback of the xenotype is their trotter-shaped hands that make it more difficult to manipulate tools and objects and their nearsightedness results in their preference for close-range - or explosive - weaponry.

== Rough Pig Unions ==

Pigskins congregate and usually form factions known as the rough pig union. Essentially, a loose alliance of rugged pigskin townships that prefer to interact with their own kind - but, have been known to make friends with 'thinsnouts'. However, they're far more ready to toss a bomb and gnaw human gristle when it suits them, which is their general approach unless one cosies up to them. Earn their respect, and they'd be a worthwhile ally, reading to offer a trotter to those they think of as friends.

Wasters

NvF: transplanted the table from Genes to make it more legible

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
'''Wasters''' are a [[Xenotypes|xenotype]] perfectly suited for post-apocalyptic pollution worlds. Their adaptation comes with several drawbacks, and their aggression and ugliness makes it hard for them to coexist with other xenotypes.

== Lore ==

<blockquote><small>''Wasters are gaunt-faced, grey-skinned, aggressive, immune to toxic pollution, almost impervious to disease, and can ingest as much psychite and wake-up drugs as they wish with no ill effects. Their toxin-adapted metabolism means they must consume some form of psychite to survive - usually flake or yayo.<br>Originally engineered to prevent resettlement of post-apocalyptic deathworlds, wasters are living area-denial weapons. Waster pirates armed with toxic weapons are the bane of many frontier peoples, both on the rimworlds and in the depths of the urbworld hyperstructures.<br>The faction of waster pirates are a diverse collection of violent xenohumans. They are mostly wasters, with a smattering of hussars, neanderthals, genies, dirtmoles, genies, yttakins, and pigskins. They have little interest in building, or farming, preferring to take their sustenance from others using violence. Their technology level depends mostly on who they've managed to steal from recently. Mostly they carry gunpowder weapons, though some prefer to stab victims at close range. They’ll always be a threat. '' - '''In Game Description'''</small>
</blockquote>

== Summary ==
Wasters can thrive in polluted areas but sacrifice talents in other areas to do so. They are genetically dependent on psychite, with major consequences if their need is not met: they will start feeling mood effects after 5 days without it, will fall into a coma after 30 days without, and will die after 60 days of deprivation. Wasters are very noticeable, with gasmask-like gaunt gray faces. Their genetic complexity is 13, and metabolic efficiency is 0, so it has no effect on their hunger rates.

=== Genes ===
Waster genes are germline, so all of their genes are inheritable:

== Origins ==
Many wasters found homes in the [[Factions#Waster_Pirates|Waster pirate bands]] of the Rim. If you have this band of pirates enabled you will be attacked by wasters sooner or later. There is also a slight chance for them to show up with other [[Pirate|pirate]] gangs, or with scattered groups as parts of quests.
