'''Creepjoiners'''<ref>The term ''creepjoiner'' is taken from the game's code, and is not used in-game.</ref> are a phenomenon added by the [[Anomaly DLC]]. They are humans who will randomly arrive at your colony offering to join, typically providing great benefits but often concealing downsides that can range from minor annoyances to debilitatingly dangerous. Creepjoiners can be encountered even before activating the [[void monolith]].

== Event ==
Creepjoiners always appear as part of an [[event]]. The regular creepjoiner event can happen after 10 days from game start, and reoccurrences are subject to a 60-day cooldown. There are no other requirements, but until the Monolith reaches level 2, the [[metalhorror]] variant is disabled, making creepjoiners slightly rarer.

When the event triggers, they will request to join the colony. They will appear on the edge of the map and make their way to a nearby location - similar to a [[trader]] - where they will linger and wait for someone to be sent to talk to them. Upon doing so, three options are presented: to accept the request to join, to arrest the creepjoiner, or to refuse the creepjoiner's request.

If rejected or if ignored for {{ticks/gametime/days|60000}}, creepjoiners have an equal chance to either depart peacefully or to immediately become hostile and attack.

All creepjoiners are initially [[unwaveringly loyal]]. This condition is permanently removed if they are allowed to join the colony. If arrested before joining, such as by choosing the "''Send <PAWN NAME> to capture <CREEPJOINER NAME>''" option when first speaking to them, they can only be recruited by removing their unwavering status using the [[brainwipe]] [[ritual]]. Creepjoiners can also be [[Slavery|enslaved]],{{IdeologyIcon}} although they start with an extremely high will of 80-90.

==== Farming ====
It is possible to reliably spawn creepjoiners via [[void provocation]]. The monolith must be kept at level 2, and [[metalhorror]] must be left undiscovered (keeping colony population at 3 or less will prevent it from appearing naturally). In this state, void provocation can spawn a metalhorror-infected creepjoiner, and will do so every time (subject to the 60-day creepjoiner cooldown) after all other advanced entities are discovered. This basically guarantees one creepjoiner per year, with the added benefit of blocking non-metalhorror downsides, including the permanently detrimental ones.

Of course, once such a creepjoiner is accepted into the colony, a metalhorror encounter is inevitable – which means this method can be used to recruit only one creepjoiner per playthrough (or one batch of creepjoiners, but they would need to be gathered over many years into a cryptosleep stash then recruited all at once). Therefore, it's best used as a mechanism to reroll creepjoiners until a highly desirable one appears. Bad creepjoiners can be reliably disposed of without revealing their metalhorrors by simply allowing them to join and immediately banishing – this can even be done with the game paused.

Naturally-occurring creepjoiners and void provocation-summoned creepjoiners are on separate 60-day cooldowns, so a colony actively farming them can expect to average some 1.5 creepjoiners per year.{{Check Tag|Code?|In actual gameplay on 1.6.4566, it clearly works like this, but from looking at the code, it's not clear why it would, could this be a bug?}}

== Summary ==
Creepjoiners are and behave much like regular [[human]]s, with the following changes:
* Every creepjoiner has an upside and a possible downside. Potential options for each of these can found in the [[#Benefits|Benefits]] and [[#Drawbacks|Drawbacks]] sections.
* When first damaged by a pawn, they will turn hostile and possibly have a special effect. See [[#Hostility|Hostility]] section for more detail.
* Creepjoiners can be studied for Advanced [[Research#Anomaly|void research]] if taken [[prisoner]]. They give 2 Advanced research with a cooldown of 2 days. The creepjoiner must be able to walk to be studied.
* Creepjoiners cannot be duplicated by the [[corrupted obelisk]].
* Creepjoiners are unable to romance ordinary pawns, but they can romance other creepjoiners or be forced into relationships by pawns with the [[psychic bonding]] gene.{{BiotechIcon}} Creepjoiners can become [[pregnant]],{{BiotechIcon}} but their children will be normal humans and not inherit any of the unique mechanics of creepjoiners.

[[File:Marriage_Creepjoiners.png|thumb|A marriage ceremony between two creepjoiners. Other pawns from the colony are participating.]]

=== Types ===
Each creepjoiner type comes with preset equipment, traits, and possible [[#Benefit|benefits]]. A brief summary of each possible type's notable properties is provided here:

* '''Leathery stranger:''' No unique effects.
* '''Dark scholar:''' Has the [[Psychopath]] trait, 14-20 in the [[Intellectual]] skill, and several surgical scars.
* '''Deal maker:''' Has the [[Beautiful]] trait and 14-20 in the [[Shooting]] and [[Social (skill)|Social]] skills.
* '''Drifter:''' No unique effects.
* '''Blind healer:''' Always spawns missing both eyes, which can be replaced with full functionality by the [[Ailments#Healing method table|usual methods]]. Guaranteed to have the ''unnatural healing'' benefit.
* '''Timeless one:''' Always between 13 and 16 years old. Not to be confused with [[Ageless]].{{BiotechIcon}}
* '''Cult escapee:''' Usually has many surgical scars and/or removed body parts. 50% chance to spawn with a [[flesh tentacle]] on either arm.
* '''Lone genius:''' Has the [[Too smart]] and [[Abrasive]] traits, as well as 13-18 in the [[Intellectual]] skill.

=== Benefits ===
Every creepjoiner has a single benefit, chosen at random. Most creepjoiner types have a specific list of possible benefits that they are restricted to; for more information, consult the [[#Pawn Kinds|Pawn Kinds]] table at the bottom of the page.

* '''Perfect human:''' Has the [[Industrious]] trait and 14 to 18 in all [[skills]]. Also has the unique [[Perfect memory]] trait, which entirely disables skill decay.
* '''Occultist:''' Has the unique [[Occultist]] trait.
* '''Unnatural healing:''' Has the ''unnatural healing'' ability (see below).
** This benefit has a weight of 0.5 (compared to the weight of 1 for every other benefit), making it less likely to be chosen on its own.
* '''Shambler overlord:''' Has the ''release deadlife dust'' ability.
* '''Fleshcrafter:''' Has the ''shape flesh'' ability.
* '''Alchemist:''' Has the ''transmute steel'' ability.
* '''Joybringer:''' Has the unique [[Joyous]] trait, which grants {{good|+20}} opinion from all other pawns and a {{Thought|desc=Wherever I go, I can feel the joyous one in the back of my mind. It makes me feel good. Very good.|label=Joyous presence|value=+3|stack=1}} to all colonists on the map.
* '''Death refusal:''' Starts with four uses of [[death refusal]].
* '''Body mastery:''' Has the unique [[Body mastery]] trait, which completely removes the pawn's need for [[food]], [[sleep]], and [[comfort]].
* '''Psychic butcher:''' Has the ''psychic slaughter'' ability.

=== Drawbacks ===
Creepjoiners typically have one downside applied to them upon spawning. These downsides are almost always hidden from the player, and only become revealed when their effects first manifest. A list of possible drawbacks includes:

* Nothing.
* '''Desertion:''' After 9-30 days in the colony, the creepjoiner will suddenly depart. They will immediately attempt to exit the map, abandoning any work they were doing in the process.
** This drawback has a weight of 3 (compared to the weight of 1 for every other downside), making it more likely to be chosen than any other drawback.
** [[Prisoner|Imprisoned]] or [[Slave|enslaved]] {{IdeologyIcon}} creepjoiners will wait until they are freed to desert.
** A creepjoiner captured while deserting and subsequently recruited or enslaved {{IdeologyIcon}} will not attempt to desert again.
** Creepjoiners can desert even when they are currently [[downed]].
'' '''<PAWN NAME> departure:''' <PAWN NAME> thanks you for your hospitality, but says that it is time for <PAWN'S PRONOUN> to move on. ''
* '''Aggressive:''' After 9-30 days in the colony, the creepjoiner suddenly becomes hostile and attacks.
* '''Metalhorror:''' The creepjoiner is secretly infected with a [[metalhorror]].
** Creepjoiners with this downside will always become hostile if not accepted by the colony.
** This downside does not appear under normal conditions. Instead, creepjoiners with a metalhorror can only appear as part of a unique incident that appears identical to a regular arrival. It is naturally 5% as likely to appear as a regular creepjoiner, but is one possible outcome of [[void provocation]].
** Outside of the ''ambient horror'' [[AI_Storytellers#Anomaly|storyteller option]], the [[monolith]] must be at least level 2 for this downside to occur.
* '''Crumbling mind:''' After 1-3 days, the creepjoiner is revealed to be suffering from a [[crumbling mind]].
** Can be diagnosed early with a surgical inspection: ''<CREEPJOINER NAME> is showing early signs of a severe condition which will soon cause severe mental degradation. <PAWN NAME> can't yet tell exactly what is causing this, but they will become very ill within the next few days.''
* '''Void fascination:''' Guaranteed to have the unique [[Void fascination]] trait. Immediately apparent.[[File:AgonyPulseDeath.png|right|450px]]
* '''Psychic agony:''' The creepjoiner periodically emits an [[Hediffs/Anomaly/Global/Misc/Agony_pulse|agony pulse]], affecting all pawns within 14.9 tiles ''including the creepjoiner themselves.'' This happens once every 30 days on average, with a minimum time of 5 days between each occurrence.
** Can be diagnosed early with a surgical inspection: "''<PAWN NAME> detected a faint but painful psychic presence emanating from <CREEPJOINER NAME> but failed to understand what was causing it.''"
** Affected targets receive {{bad|+100%}} [[pain]], which is enough to instantly down all pawns without a source of pain reduction. After {{ticks|600}} to {{ticks|900}}, this is reduced to a milder {{bad|+25%}} pain that lasts between {{ticks/gametime/days|120000}} and {{ticks/gametime/days|240000}}.
** At 100% pain, [[consciousness]] is reduced by 40%, meaning that Agony Pulses can kill pawns when combined with consciousness reductions from other sources.
** The agony pulse is ''not'' modulated by [[psychic sensitivity]]; even [[psychically deaf]] pawns will suffer its effects.
* '''Organ decay:''' After 3-5 days, the creepjoiner will reveal that they are suffering from [[organ decay]] in 3-5 internal organs. This uses a unique variant of organ decay that progresses three times faster than normal, allowing only 10-20 days to treat each instance.
** Can be diagnosed early with a surgical inspection: ''"<CREEPJOINER NAME> is showing early signs of a severe condition which will cause their organs to rapidly deteriorate. <PAWN NAME> can't yet tell exactly what is causing this, but <CREEPJOINER NAME> will become very ill within the next few days."''
* '''Disturbing:''' Guaranteed to have the unique [[Disturbing]] trait. Immediately apparent.

=== Hostility ===
Regardless of whether they are recruited, all creepjoiners will immediately become hostile the first time they get hit by a colonist attack, even if the hit was friendly fire, negated by armor, or a colonist attempts to [[slavery|enslave]]{{IdeologyIcon}} them once their will reaches 0. This can only happen once for each creepjoiner, but will never expire, so there is always the possibility of the creepjoiner turning hostile until it actually happens. Hostility may be triggered even if the pawn was already [[downed]], e.g., through anesthetic.

Each creepjoiner has a special effect, chosen randomly, that will activate when they become hostile:

* '''Basic assault:''' No special effects.
** It has weight of 3, meaning it's 3 times more likely to be chosen than other hostility responses.
* '''Sightstealer attack:''' The creepjoiner will scream and summon [[sightstealer]]s to attack the colony. The following message{{Check Tag|Letter?}} will be displayed:
::'' '''<PAWN NAME>'s howl:''' <PAWN NAME> has let out a twisted half-human scream. In the distance, you can hear other screams answering the call. They are coming... ''

These effects also trigger if the creepjoiner dies by any means.

Another hostility option, fleshbeast emergence in which the creepjoiner turns into a [[fleshbeast]], is defined in the code but never triggers. It is not currently known whether this is a bug or intentional omission.{{Check Tag|Verify if bug}}

== Analysis ==
The abilities possessed by creepjoiners range from modestly useful to potentially colony-changing. Evaluate the possible tradeoffs above, and be prepared to deal with sudden turncoat behavior. Carefully inspect the pawn's entire Bio and Health tab before recruiting them. One must decide whether the potential risks a creepjoiner brings are worth it, but also weigh the downsides of ''not'' recruiting them (such as an aggressive response).

=== Dealing with downsides ===
==== Hostility ====
All creepjoiners will become hostile when damaged by the colony for the first time. An easy way to resolve a creepjoiner's hostility is to anaesthetize them then punch them while they're out. They will become hostile, but remain incapacitated, enabling safe capture and re-recruitment. Of course, this will still destroy the creepjoiner if fleshbeast emergence was randomly picked as their way of retaliating.

==== General downsides ====
Performing a [[surgical inspection]] can reveal some potential downsides early - making it a useful habit to practice with new creepjoiners - but not all of them. Vigilance is still necessary even when the inspection finds nothing.

A creepjoiner's time-based downsides (such as ''organ decay'' or ''crumbling mind'') can be halted by placing them inside a [[cryptosleep casket]] until treatment is available. This will naturally disable the creepjoiner until they're removed from the casket, so prepare to survive without their skills and abilities for what could potentially be an extended period of time.

If a creepjoiner's downsides cannot immediately be determined then it may be useful to keep them physically isolated. [[Allowed area]]s and [[schedule|scheduling]] can be used to mitigate their proximity to other colonists until their downside is revealed for what it is. Having other colonists with [[psychic shock lance]]s is helpful in case of desertion or hostility - the psychic burns, if they occur, can be cured by [[Chronophagy]] or a number of other means.

Before you have ruled out the possibility of desertion, you may want to consider whether or not it is worth giving them expensive or rare items (such as high-quality armor, weapons, or bionic parts). While this equipment can be recovered if the deserting creepjoiner is arrested, there is always the risk that your colonists will not be able to catch them and you will consequently lose the equipment. To catch a deserting creepjoiner, it is advised to attack them to slow them down, and then capture them. Successfully arresting the deserter and then recruiting them again will make them join the colony permanently, without wanting to desert again.

The potential for [[#Hostility|fleshbeast emergence]] should also be ruled out before equipping a creepjoiner with powerful gear or [[genes]] {{BiotechIcon}}. Because it destroys the body outright, any equipped gear or installed parts are destroyed with no chance for recovery. This ignores (and negates!) [[death refusal]] and [[deathless]] {{BiotechIcon}}, so it is important to either rule out the possibility of fleshbeast emergence before applying these powerful effects, or to simply accept the risk that they may be wasted.

=== Benefit analysis ===
* '''Unnatural healing''' replicates the effects of [[healer mech serum]] whilst also being useful mid-combat by healing all bleeding injuries. Certain conditions like [[crumbling mind]] and [[duplicate sickness]] can only be cured by healer mech serum, unnatural healing, or revival, and many others like scars are made easier to cure due to unnatural healing. Plus, unnatural healing can give [[flesh tentacle]]s, including to [[ghoul]]s.

* '''Transmute steel''' can be used on [[stuff]]able items, which allows larger quantities of steel to be transmuted at a time. In addition, if a stuffable item is turned into [[gold]], the ability's output is essentially multiplied by 10 - a steel [[large sculpture]] takes {{Icon Small|Steel}} 100 [[steel]] (and is worth {{Icon Small|Silver}} 300), while a gold [[large sculpture]] takes {{Icon Small|Gold}} 1000 [[gold]] (and is worth {{Icon Small|Silver}} 10095). Therefore, repeatedly using transmute steel on stuffable items is a great way to make money.

* '''Psychic slaughter''' is not that great in actual combat since the ability has a very short range and a fairly long cooldown. Humans and [[manhunter pack]]s tend to outnumber colonists, especially at higher [[difficulties]], while [[mechanoid]]s are immune. It works against certain [[entities]] - it can be used to instantly kill an awoken [[unnatural corpse]] - but it ''cannot'' be used against [[revenant]]s or [[nociosphere]]s due to them lacking flesh. Still, psychic slaugter can be a good way to get [[twisted meat]] before a [[fleshmass nucleus]] is captured.

'''Devourers''' are an [[entity]] added in the [[Anomaly DLC]].

== Occurrence ==
Devourers occasionally raid the colony as part of the Devourer attack event (which only requires a level 1 Monolith to generate), and can also be part of the final raids of the anomaly ending. Devourer attacks can also emerge from water.

== Summary ==
{{Rewrite|section=1|reason=Separate swallowing/digestion summary subsection from combat summary}}
Similar to mech raids, devourers may spawn from ocean and river tiles even if a raid normally would not be able to spawn due to deep ocean water. This can be a nasty surprise for players who prioritized defenses against normal raids coming in from the map edge. {{Check Tag|verify}}.

=== Combat ===
[[File:Devourer leap radius.png|thumb|left|White tiles showing full leap radius]]Devourers are rather unconventional combatants, as they prefer not to attack normally. Instead, they will choose a target within 9.9 tiles, leap at it, and instantly swallow it whole upon landing. It is possible to avoid being swallowed by using a [[Jump pack]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[Longjump legs]],{{BiotechIcon}} or similar abilities invulnerability frames during the devourer's leap attack. You cannot outrun the leap once it has started, no matter what the move speed. The devourer will then prioritize a different target upon landing.{{Check Tag|Clarification needed|If it devours the pawn, or if it doesn't? What does prioritize actually mean in this context? unsuccessful swallow attempt atill triggera cooldown?}} A devourer cannot swallow any pawn with a body size greater than 2.5. Once the devourer has swallowed its target, it will not move so long as it is digesting, making it vulnerable to retaliation. The swallowed pawn will be digested over time at a rate related to their body size, receiving acid burns. The rate at which a creature is digested is linearly interpolated between three different points - 10 seconds to digest a pawn with a body size of 0.2, 30 seconds for a pawn with a body size of 1, and 43 seconds for a pawn with a body size of 2.15. The devourer is capable of swallowing and digesting [[mechanoid]]s.

If a devourer catches [[fire]], is affected by [[vertigo pulse]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} is downed, or is killed, it will immediately regurgitate whatever it has swallowed. The devourer's swallowing attack has a cooldown of 1.44 hours.{{Check Tag|Ticks?|Specific ticks would let us stat the exact game time and IRL time}}

Devourers have a [[psychic sensitivity]] of 200% and a bleed rate factor of 50%. They are immune to [[infection]]s.

Devourers are quite destructive, and will smash up player-owned buildings, walls, or doors, if they cannot find any pawns to attack.

=== Yield ===
The devourer yields 4 [[bioferrite]] and 800W per day. Minimum containment strength of 90 - it requires a [[holding platform]]. They have a base escape {{MTB}} of 60 days.

They can be studied for 2 Advanced dark study every {{ticks/gametime|120000}}

== Analysis ==
=== Combat ===

When fighting devourers in close range, especially in great numbers, it is practically guaranteed that at least one of your fighters will get swallowed. However, apart from the damage from acid burns, there are no long-term drawbacks to a pawn being swallowed, assuming they are promptly liberated. In fact, full devourers are easier to deal with, as they will not attack or flee while digesting. For these reasons, there are two basic strategies for engaging devourers: Picking them off at range and staying safe, or getting close and taking their punishment.

If you plan on taking the devourers head-on, and there are a large number of devourers attacking, then it would be a good idea to try and split them off while also keeping your fighters close together. This way, fewer fighters end up being swallowed at any given time, and more fighters are available to retaliate against digesting devourers.

If you have a stone door as the gate of your base, you can safely kill off any number of devourers by baiting them in one by one. Put a pawn that can take damage at the door as bait, and other pawns away from it. When a devourer is nearly in range, move the bait inside so that the door closes behind them. Because stone doors are slow, 1-2 devourers will still jump through before it closes. They will be isolated because other devourers will be blocked by the door. After killing them, you can repeat to kill the remaining ones. Remember to make sure the door never get blocked from closing, always move the bait inside before the devourer jump, and occasionally repair the damage to the door.

Devourers are generally slower than humans, who have a base movement speed of 4.6 tiles/second. This makes [[kiting]] viable, but still dangerous. Care must be taken to stay out of the devourer's lunging range, as they can close the distance instantly. If any fighter ends up being swallowed while several devourers are in combat, you will have to choose whether to leave them for dead or abandon the kiting maneuver and rescue them.

If you have a [[mechanitor]]{{BiotechIcon}} in your colony, a valid strategy would be to inundate the devourers by sending in a wave of labor mechanoids and allowing them to be swallowed, then sending in your actual fighters. A
[[war queen]]'s{{BiotechIcon}} [[war urchin]]s{{BiotechIcon}} can serve as incredibly cheap fodder to bait the devour attack.
[[Scorcher]]s{{BiotechIcon}} can be highly effective in forcing devourers to regurgitate swallowed pawns or mechs. The high rate of fire of scorchers, as well as their low resource and bandwidth cost, make them cost-efficient counters to the devourer's most dangerous attack. Similarly, pawns armed with [[hellcat rifle]]s or [[incinerator]]s can be used on devourers that are actively digesting. [[Tesseron]]s{{BiotechIcon}} can also be effective at lighting devourers on fire, and have considerably longer range than scorchers. Additionally, the devourer is incapable of swallowing the larger mechs. For example, if you use a [[Diabolus]]{{BiotechIcon}} or a [[War_queen|War Queen]]{{BiotechIcon}} to tank, you can force the devourer to stay in melee combat while other mechanoids or colonists shoot at it. Some medium sized mechs, such as the [[Pikeman]]{{BiotechIcon}} or [[Scyther]]{{BiotechIcon}}, can be swallowed and go through a full digestion cycle without dying, allowing them to be swallowed a second time. If they do go through that cycle and survive, they still take significant damage and are likely to lose a body part.

Similarly, devourers can be countered with attack animals. Spammable animals like dogs are numerous and expendable enough to be used as a distraction, similar to labor mechanoids. Larger animals like elephants work even better; they're too big to be swallowed and are too sturdy for devourers to kill with their feeble melee attacks.

It is also recommended to have at least one colonist behind the main lines with a weapon capable of lighting fires, like an [[Incinerator]] or [[Molotov cocktails]], to force devourers to regurgitate colonists if any are at risk of being digested before your fighters can down it. [[Plasmasword]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} are an ideal choice for any melee pawns, and colonists with the [[Fire spew]]{{BiotechIcon}} gene will be able to force multiple devourers to regurgitate at once. With [[Royalty]] installed, pawns using [[Vertigo pulse]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} force all affected devourers to release swallowed colonists. [[Invisibility|Invisible]] pawns will not be targeted and are especially effective when armed with fire weaponry.

=== Containment ===

Due to their very high health and body size, devourers are very likely to be downed via pain, rather than outright dying to a destroyed body part, and are less likely to bleed out before you can tend to them. This may make them significantly easier to capture than other entities. They also have the highest power yield of all entities and provide advanced research.

Their high containment strength requirement means that security door and holding platforms are needed to contain them for long periods of time. Their swallow ability makes them dangerous in case of escape, especially when many {{PAGENAME}}s are in the same room. But their tox gas vulnerability means that an [[IED tox trap]]{{BiotechIcon}} is enough to down a 9x9 room full of devourers. For this, devourers are good entities to capture once the IED tox trap is available.

Devourers cannot be permanently downed through the removal of its fins, as the devourer's body itself adds moving capacity. However like most entities the still can be downed by braindamage.

== Trivia ==
The Devourer is most likely inspired by Saccopharyngiforms, or more specifically the gulper eel. Just like the devourer, the gulper eel lunges at prey to swallow it whole.

'''Cyclopes''' a type of [[mechanoid]] added by the [[Odyssey DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
{{Biotech|section=1}}
{{Acquisition}}

Dead, friendly cyclopes can also be resurrected at the {{lc:{{P|Production Facility 1}}}} using the "''Resurrect medium mechanoid''" bill. This requires the corpse of the friendly {{PAGENAME}}, {{Icon Small|Steel||50}} [[steel]], and 1 [[gestation cycle]] taking {{ticks|1800}} to initiate.

== Summary ==
{{Mechanoid Summary}}

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

Mechs under player control{{BiotechIcon}} require power: cyclopes use 10% of their power per day while active. If set to dormant self-charging, they instead recharge for 1% power / day, without pollution. They recharge in a [[large mech recharger]] (400W), for 50% power/day, creating 10 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

=== As an enemy ===
Cyclopes march into position towards the front lines with their moderately short range until they have a clear line of sight with a pawn or turret, and will then fire their weapon. If their target is downed, they will keep firing until all shots of the burst were shot, meaning a downed entity could take a few extra hits after being downed. The Cyclopes will, however, stop shooting immediately if their target is destroyed or killed, if their target leaves their range, or if their line of sight is blocked.

=== Combat ===
Cyclopes are always equipped with a [[beam repeater]] of Normal [[quality]], which they do not drop upon death. See the [[beam repeater]] page for further information.

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

== Analysis ==
=== As an enemy ===
Alone, a Cyclops doesn't pose much of a threat. Its very long aiming time of {{Ticks|{{Q|Beam repeater|Aiming Time Base}}}} and cooldown of {{Ticks|{{Q|Beam repeater|Ranged Cooldown Base}}}} mean a pawn wielding a regular firearm such as a [[heavy SMG]], an [[assault rifle]], or any gun with a relatively short shooting cycle has the time to fire and leave the Cyclops' range before it can fire on your pawns, making it an easy target to kite.

In a group of mechanoids, or if kiting is not possible, a single burst of a Cyclops can cause tremendous damage and pain to pawns that do not have reliable armor against heat attacks or cover, adding 6% pain for every wound. Since Cyclopes are not as inaccurate as [[centipede]]s, they are more than capable of downing an unprotected pawn in a single burst of their beam repeater. Their health, being the same as a [[Pikeman]]'s, combined with their shorter reach make Cyclopes relatively frail and easy to take down.

Should you encounter Cyclopes, consider kiting them if possible, take cover, and take them down before they get in a troublesome position. If you do not allow them to fire, they pose little threat to your pawns.

Uniquely, the beam repeater dealing less damage to buildings may give them trouble when taking down turrets is required, as they only deal 40% of their usual damage on passable structures.

===As an ally===
{{Biotech|section=1}}

'''Soil''' is a naturally occurring type of terrain.

== Summary ==
It is found in the following biomes:
* [[Boreal forest]]
* [[Tundra]]
* [[Cold bog]]
* [[Temperate forest]]
* [[Temperate swamp]]
* [[Tropical rainforest]]
* [[Tropical swamp]]
* [[Arid shrubland]]
* [[Desert]]
* [[Glacial plain]]{{OdysseyIcon}}
* [[Lava field]]{{OdysseyIcon}}
* [[Scarlands]]{{OdysseyIcon}}

It has the following terrain affordances:
* Light (Supports light structure)
* Medium (Supports medium structures (mainly walls))
* Heavy (Supports heavy structures)
* Growable (Things can grow here)
* Diggable (For graves)

It generates [[Filth#Dirt|dirt]] [[filth]].

Pawns have the ability to throw [[Hediffs#Dirt|dirt]] into an enemy's eyes as an available attack when on this terrain, impairing their vision momentarily.

[[Glowforest]]s{{OdysseyIcon}} and [[Grassland]]s{{OdysseyIcon}} have near-identical variants of '''soil''', which differ only by their textures.

[[Human]]s, [[animals]] and [[mechanoids]] all share the same unconscious and lethality thresholds.

== Affected stats ==
Consciousness itself doesn't have any ''direct'' effect on a pawn's stats, however it does directly affect several other capacities which in turn affect most [[stat]]s a pawn has. Thus, when considering the effect of a consciousness change, the affected stats of those other capacities must be considered.

=== Base Factors ===
''Consciousness'' is mainly affected by the following factors:
* [[Blood Pumping]]: [[Blood Pumping Importance::0.2|20%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Blood Pumping Limit::1|100%]] Max.
* [[Breathing]]: [[Breathing Importance::0.2|20%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Breathing Limit::1|100%]] Max.
* [[Blood filtration]]: [[Blood Filtration Importance::0.1|10%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Blood Filtration Limit::1|100%]] Max.
* [[Pain]]: The pain offset can be calculated as follows:
: <code>IF Pain[%] <= 10% THEN -0% ELSE -{(Pain-0.1)/2.25}[%]</code>


::''Thus, minor levels of pain (10% or less) have no effect on Consciousness, while anything more than that starts to reduce consciousness at a little less than half (4/9) its value.''

:: ''More specifically, the pawn's consciousness is reduced at a rate of -1% for every 2.25% Pain above 10%, with a maximum penalty at 100% Pain of -40% Consciousness.''
* Brain part efficiency: 100% importance, no allowed defect. No Max (effectively 100%).

=== Formula ===
The formula is as follows:
'''Consciousness''' = ''IF'' (Base factors × Post factors + Offsets) < Limit ''THEN'' (Base factors × Post factors + Offsets) ''ELSE'' Limit

The ''Base factors'' can be calculated with the following formulas:
'''Blood Pumping''' = 1 + ({''IF'' Blood Pumping < 1 ''THEN'' Blood Pumping ''ELSE'' 1} - 1) × 0.2

=== Base Factors ===
''Consciousness'' is mainly affected by the following factors:

* [[Breathing]]: [[Breathing Importance::0.2|20%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Breathing Limit::1|100%]] Max.
* [[Blood filtration]]: [[Blood Filtration Importance::0.1|10%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Blood Filtration Limit::1|100%]] Max.
* [[Pain]]: The pain offset can be calculated as follows:
: <code>IF Pain[%] <= 10% THEN -0% ELSE -{(Pain-0.1)/2.25}[%]</code>


::''Thus, minor levels of pain (10% or less) have no effect on Consciousness, while anything more than that starts to reduce consciousness at a little less than half (4/9) its value.''

:: ''More specifically, the pawn's consciousness is reduced at a rate of -1% for every 2.25% Pain above 10%, with a maximum penalty at 100% Pain of -40% Consciousness.''

The ''Base factors'' can be calculated with the following formulas:
'''Blood Pumping''' = 1 + ({''IF'' Blood Pumping < 1 ''THEN'' Blood Pumping ''ELSE'' 1} - 1) × 0.2
'''Breathing''' = 1 + ({''IF'' Breathing < 1 ''THEN'' Breathing ''ELSE'' 1} - 1) × 0.2
'''Blood Filtration''' = 1 + ({''IF'' Blood Filtration < 1 ''THEN'' Blood Filtration ''ELSE'' 1} - 1) × 0.1
'''Pain''' = ''IF'' (-0.45 × Pain + 1.05) < 1 ''THEN'' (-0.45 × Pain + 1.05) ''ELSE'' 1

Other mechanical interactions need testing - insults, television, ritual participation (inc [but not only] drum ritual and its recreation effects) etc}}
Hearing has a number of unique interactions with other mechanics, beyond the traditional effects on [[stats]].

Pawns with {{Bad|0%}} Hearing do not get the [[mood]] bonus from musical instruments{{RoyaltyIcon}}, or the mood penalties from disturbed sleep or crying [[babies]]{{BiotechIcon}}. They also have no {{Bad|-25}} opinion towards pawns with [[Annoying voice]] or [[Creepy breathing]].

== Factors ==
The following factors affect Hearing:
=== Base factors ===
* Ear efficiency. 100% importance, no allowed defect, no max.
** The game assigns 75% weight to the stronger ear and 25% weight to the weaker, so entirely losing a single ear reduces hearing by 25% rather than 50%. As such the effects on Hearing of each change to Ear efficiency are displayed in the table below rather than listed with each entry.
** [[Hearing loss]]: Part efficiency offset {{--|20%}}.
** [[Cochlear implant]]: 65% part efficiency.
** [[Bionic ear]]: 125% part efficiency.

{{Hearing Part Efficiency Table}}

=== Offsets ===
The following offsets affect Hearing:
* [[Dementia]]: {{--|25%}}
** Note, that as dementia also inflicts a -15% Consciousness penalty, this is effectively a {{--|40%}} to Hearing.
* [[Sensory mechanites]]: {{+|50%}}

== Formula ==
'''Manipulation''' = (Base factors + Offsets) × Multipliers

Arm efficiency must again be calculated by inserting the efficiency of all the related body parts. Note that the efficiency of all fingers must be added up first (normally 10). If any type of body part is not affected, that part of the formula can be omitted.
'''Arm efficiency''' = (Left arm × 0.5 + Right arm × 0.5) × (Left shoulder × 0.5 + Right shoulder × 0.5) × (Left clavicle × 0.5 + Right clavicle × 0.5) × (Left humerus × 0.5 + Right humerus × 0.5) × (Left radius × 0.5 + Right radius × 0.5) × (Left hand × 0.5 + Right hand × 0.5) × (Fingers × 0.08 + 0.2)

For example the maximum possible value would be achievable with the following values:
* [[Consciousness]]: '''170%''' from being high on [[go-juice]], [[luciferium]] and [[wake-up]], having used a [[neural supercharger]],{{IdeologyIcon}} with any level of [[pollution stimulus]] {{BiotechIcon}} and a [[Psychic bonding|psychic bond]] {{BiotechIcon}} with a pawn on the same map.
* Arm efficiency:
** Left arm: '''150%''' ([[archotech arm]])
** Right arm: '''150%''' ([[archotech arm]])
* Offsets (total {{+|135%}}):
** [[Fibrous mechanites]]: {{+|50%}}
** [[Sensory mechanites]]: {{+|30%}}
** [[Trauma savant]]: {{+|50%}}
** [[Smooth tail]]{{BiotechIcon}}: {{+|5%}}
**
* Post factors: '''x110%'''
** [[Elongated fingers]]{{BiotechIcon}}: '''x110%'''

First of all we can calculate the arm efficiency:
'''Arm efficiency''' = Left arm × 0.5 + Right arm × 0.5 = 1.5 × 0.5 + 1.5 × 0.5 = '''150%'''

We can therefore calculate the Manipulation:
'''Manipulation''' = ((170% × 150%) + 135%) × 110% = '''{{Good|429%}}'''{{#set:Effective Maximum|4.29}}

The minimum possible ''manipulation'' is of course {{Bad|[[Effective Minimum::0]]%}}.

== Example ==
Let us calculate the highest value possible. The moving capacity can be calculated with the following formula:

'''Moving''' = ({IF Consciousness < 100 THEN Consciousness ELSE 1} × [1 + (Blood Pumping - 1) × 0.2] × [1 + (Breathing - 1) × 0.2] × Leg efficiency + Offsets) × Post factors

Leg efficiency must again be calculated by inserting the efficiency of all the related body parts. Note that the efficiency of all toes must be added up first (normally 10). If any type of body part is not affected, that part of the formula can be omitted.

'''Leg efficiency''' = (Left leg × 0.5 + Right leg × 0.5) × (Left tibia × 0.5 + Right tibia × 0.5) × (Left femur × 0.5 + Right femur × 0.5) × (Left foot × 0.5 + Right foot × 0.5) × (Toes × 0.04 + 0.6) × Pelvis × Spine

In this particular case the values would be the following:

* [[Consciousness]]: '''140%''' (has no effect due to the max of 100%)
* [[Blood Pumping]]: '''{{%|{{Q|Blood Pumping|Effective Maximum}} }}''' (''see [[Blood Pumping]]'')
* [[Breathing]]: '''{{%|{{Q|Breathing|Effective Maximum}} }}''' (''see [[breathing]]'')
* Leg efficiency
** Left leg: '''150%''' ([[Archotech leg]])
** Right leg: '''150%''' ([[Archotech leg]])
* Offsets (total {{+|145%}}):
** [[Go-juice]] high: {{+|50%}}
** [[Luciferium]] high: {{+|5%}}
** [[Yayo]] high: {{+|15%}}
** [[Wake-up]] high: {{+|10%}}
** [[Fibrous mechanites]]: {{+|50%}}
** [[Persona weapon#Fast_mover|Fast mover]] persona trait {{RoyaltyIcon}}: {{+|15%}}
* Post factors: '''130%'''
** [[Focus]] psycast:{{RoyaltyIcon}} '''x130%'''

First of all we can calculate the leg efficiency:

'''Leg efficiency''' = Left leg × 0.5 + Right leg × 0.5 = 1.5 × 0.5 + 1.5 × 0.5 = '''150%'''

We can therefore calculate the Moving capacity:

'''Moving''' = ({1} × [1 + (1.9 - 1) × 0.2] × [1 + (1.2 - 1) × 0.2] × 1.5 + 1.45) * 1.3

'''Moving''' = (1 × [1.18] × [1.02] × 1.5 + 1.45) × 1.3 = 427.804% ≈ '''[[Effective Maximum::4.28|428%]]'''

== Formula ==
'''Manipulation''' = (Base factors + Offsets) × Multipliers

Arm efficiency must again be calculated by inserting the efficiency of all the related body parts. Note that the efficiency of all fingers must be added up first (normally 10). If any type of body part is not affected, that part of the formula can be omitted.
'''Arm efficiency''' = (Left arm × 0.5 + Right arm × 0.5) × (Left shoulder × 0.5 + Right shoulder × 0.5) × (Left clavicle × 0.5 + Right clavicle × 0.5) × (Left humerus × 0.5 + Right humerus × 0.5) × (Left radius × 0.5 + Right radius × 0.5) × (Left hand × 0.5 + Right hand × 0.5) × (Fingers × 0.08 + 0.2)

For example the maximum possible value would be achievable with the following values:
* [[Consciousness]]: '''170%''' from being high on [[go-juice]], [[luciferium]] and [[wake-up]], having used a [[neural supercharger]],{{IdeologyIcon}} with any level of [[pollution stimulus]] {{BiotechIcon}} and a [[Psychic bonding|psychic bond]] {{BiotechIcon}} with a pawn on the same map.
* Arm efficiency:
** Left arm: '''150%''' ([[archotech arm]])
** Right arm: '''150%''' ([[archotech arm]])
* Offsets (total {{+|135%}}):
** [[Fibrous mechanites]]: {{+|50%}}
** [[Sensory mechanites]]: {{+|30%}}
** [[Trauma savant]]: {{+|50%}}
** [[Smooth tail]]{{BiotechIcon}}: {{+|5%}}
**
* Post factors: '''x110%'''
** [[Elongated fingers]]{{BiotechIcon}}: '''x110%'''

First of all we can calculate the arm efficiency:
'''Arm efficiency''' = Left arm × 0.5 + Right arm × 0.5 = 1.5 × 0.5 + 1.5 × 0.5 = '''150%'''

We can therefore calculate the Manipulation:
'''Manipulation''' = ((170% × 150%) + 135%) × 110% = '''{{Good|429%}}'''{{#set:Effective Maximum|4.29}}

The minimum possible ''manipulation'' is of course {{Bad|[[Effective Minimum::0]]%}}.

Other mechanical interactions need testing - insults, television, ritual participation (inc [but not only] drum ritual and its recreation effects) etc}}
Hearing has a number of unique interactions with other mechanics, beyond the traditional effects on [[stats]].

Pawns with {{Bad|0%}} Hearing do not get the [[mood]] bonus from musical instruments{{RoyaltyIcon}}, or the mood penalties from disturbed sleep or crying [[babies]]{{BiotechIcon}}. They also have no {{Bad|-25}} opinion towards pawns with [[Annoying voice]] or [[Creepy breathing]].

Animals also have a Hearing capacity, but it's not clear if it affects any of their stats.

== Factors ==
The following factors affect Hearing:
=== Base factors ===
* Ear efficiency. 100% importance, no allowed defect, no max.
** The game assigns 75% weight to the stronger ear and 25% weight to the weaker, so entirely losing a single ear reduces hearing by 25% rather than 50%. As such the effects on Hearing of each change to Ear efficiency are displayed in the table below rather than listed with each entry.
** [[Hearing loss]]: Part efficiency offset {{--|20%}}.
** [[Cochlear implant]]: 65% part efficiency.
** [[Bionic ear]]: 125% part efficiency.

{{Hearing Part Efficiency Table}}

=== Offsets ===
The following offsets affect Hearing:
* [[Dementia]]: {{--|25%}}
** Note, that as dementia also inflicts a -15% Consciousness penalty, this is effectively a {{--|40%}} to Hearing.
* [[Sensory mechanites]]: {{+|50%}}
=== Multipliers ===

Breathing

Starei: /* Offsets */

{{Capacity
| default base value = 1
| to string style = PercentZero
| description = The ability of a [[characters|character]] to breathe. Affects consciousness and movement.
}}
''Breathing'' is impaired by damaged [[lung]]s and [[human#Neck|neck]]. A character missing a lung has breathing reduced by 50% but can still survive. Without lungs, all breathing ceases and the organism will die. Lungs can be harvested and transplanted from other humans.

''Breathing'' bears a small weight in the consciousness and movement capacities, hence why [[Asthma|asthmatics]] will be slightly slower than healthy colonists.

It is lethal for [[human]]s and [[animals]] for ''breathing'' to be reduced to zero.

{{Hover title|Version/1.4.3580|At the time of writing}}, the maximum possible ''breathing'' capacity is [[Effective Maximum::1.2|120%]] with a healthy pawn high on [[luciferium]] and with two [[detoxifier lung]]s {{BiotechIcon}} installed.

== Base factors ==
The following factors affect ''breathing'':
* [[Lung]] part efficiency. 50% importance per lung, no allowed defect. No Max (effectively 110%).
** [[Detoxifier lung]]:{{BiotechIcon}} 110% part efficiency resulting in {{+|5%}} breathing per lung replaced.

[[Human]]s, [[animals]] and [[mechanoids]] all share the same unconscious and lethality thresholds.

{{Hover title|Version/1.4.3580|At the time of writing}}, the maximum possible Consciousness capacity is [[Effective Maximum::1.7|170%]] with a healthy pawn high on [[go-juice]], [[luciferium]] and [[wake-up]], having used a [[neural supercharger]],{{IdeologyIcon}} with any level of [[pollution stimulus]] {{BiotechIcon}} and a [[Psychic bonding|psychic bond]] {{BiotechIcon}} with a pawn on the same map.

== Affected stats ==
Consciousness itself doesn't have any ''direct'' effect on a pawn's stats, however it does directly affect several other capacities which in turn affect most [[stat]]s a pawn has. Thus, when considering the effect of a consciousness change, the affected stats of those other capacities must be considered.

== Factors ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason= 1) Painshock threshold missing 2) psychic supressor }}
=== Base Factors ===
''Consciousness'' is mainly affected by the following factors:
* [[Blood Pumping]]: [[Blood Pumping Importance::0.2|20%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Blood Pumping Limit::1|100%]] Max.
* [[Breathing]]: [[Breathing Importance::0.2|20%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Breathing Limit::1|100%]] Max.
* [[Blood filtration]]: [[Blood Filtration Importance::0.1|10%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Blood Filtration Limit::1|100%]] Max.
* [[Pain]]: The pain offset can be calculated as follows:
: <code>IF Pain[%] <= 10% THEN -0% ELSE -{(Pain-0.1)/2.25}[%]</code>


::''Thus, minor levels of pain (10% or less) have no effect on Consciousness, while anything more than that starts to reduce consciousness at a little less than half (4/9) its value.''

:: ''More specifically, the pawn's consciousness is reduced at a rate of -1% for every 2.25% Pain above 10%, with a maximum penalty at 100% Pain of -40% Consciousness.''
* Brain part efficiency: 100% importance, no allowed defect. No Max (effectively 100%).

Xenotypes

Starei: /* List of xenotypes */ plural is just "starjack"

{{Biotech}}
'''Xenotypes''', also known as '''xenohumans''', refer to the various subspecies of [[human]]. They have a different set of [[gene]]s, whether by adaptation or gene editing. There are 11 xenotypes found in each world by default, but you can add your own types during colonist selection or in-game genetic modification. All xenotypes drop [[human meat]] and [[human leather]], no matter how foreign they may be.

== Customization ==
{{For|full list of genes|Genes}}
Fully custom xenotypes can be created in the colonist selection screen. Any amount of [[gene]]s can be added, so long as [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] metabolic efficiency is at least -5, and if genes don't conflict.

There are 2 options available in this screen:
* Ignore restrictions: If checked on, this gives access to the [[Genes#Archite|Archite]] genes, and enables conflicting gene combinations (such as Slow Runner and Fast Runner).
* Genes are heritable: If checked on, then these genes will be passed on to the xenotype's [[children]].

Player created xenotypes will appear throughout the game if a starting colonist is of that xenotype, or if an [[ideoligion]] refers to that xenotype.

== Ingame creation ==
{{Main|Genetics}}
Xenotypes can be created during a game within a [[gene assembler]], and delievered via a [[xenogerm]]. You are limited by the [[genepack]]s you found or have [[gene extractor|extracted]]. The complexity of your xenotype is also limited by the [[gene processor]]s you have available.

All xenotypes from a xenogerm are considered ''xenogenes'', not ''germline'' genes, so they will not be passed onto offspring. The xenogerm item is easily replicable, however, once you have all the infastructure set up.

Ideoligion

2025-11-22T21:18:41Z

Starei: /* Cultures */ Updated info surrounding cultures and associated factions

{{Ideology}}
{{Stub|reason=Add Nomadic and space habitat precept. Shipborn meme requirements/associated not implemented. traders guild}}
'''Ideoligions''' are both a system of mechanics introduced by, and the primary focus of, the [[Ideology DLC]]. They allow colonies to introduce a variety of new restrictions and capabilities to change gameplay, as well as new interactions with other factions.
{{TOCright}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cultures affect names, appearances, and symbols.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{Ritual table}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

=== Apparel type combinations ===
Some kinds of [[apparel]] can be set as desired apparel.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Apparel type !! Name
|-
| [[Apparel#Headgear|Headgear]] || [[Authority_cap|Authority cap]], [[Beret]], [[Bowler_hat|Bowler hat]], [[Broadwrap]], [[Ceremonial_hood|Ceremonial hood]], [[Cowboy_hat|Cowboy hat]], [[Face_mask|Face mask]], [[Flophat]], [[Headwrap]], [[Hood]], [[Ritual_mask|Ritual mask]], [[Shadecone]], [[Slicecap]], [[Tailcap]], [[Torture_crown|Torture crown]], [[Tribal_headdress|Tribal headdress]], [[Tuque]], [[Veil]], [[Visage_mask|Visage mask]], [[War_mask|War mask]]

The player can set any of these pieces to be desired for men, women, or both, and can choose between a relaxed and strong desire. Multiple kinds (a maximum of 8 {{Check Tag|Verify?|Verify what's the limit?}}) of apparel can be chosen. You can select both a relaxed and a strong desire for the same gender / apparel type combination, for example, a female relaxed headgear and a female strong headgear. Note that selecting the same apparel type and preference twice will result in a conflict, for example, if you select a female: strong cowboy hat and an everyone: strong hood. To maximize the number of available desired apparel:

=== Mood effects ===

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

==== Desired apparel ====

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

==== Color mood effect ====

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

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

=== Spawning ===

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

== Xenotype preferences ==
{{Biotech|section=1}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason= Needs proper write up. Test if specific to Sanguophage or the implanter gene. Also [[Template: Thought]]}}
Believers consider this xenotype to hold a higher moral or spiritual status than others. They will be happy if their colony has only preferred xenotypes. However, having any preferred xenotypes means that all other xenotypes are considered disliked and believers will be unhappy living alongside them.

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

Believers will not accept becoming a non-preferred xenotype via reimplant ability or [[xenogerm]]s. If [[Sanguophage]] is not a preferred type and at least one other preferred type is set, colonists will refuse Sanguophage xenogerm implantation and quests that award Sanguophage xenogerm will fail to give the reward.{{Check Tag|Fail?|Will not offer that as a reward? Will generate as a reward but not give it? Will not generate the quest? Will not generate the option that would be to receive the xenogerm? Will replace it with something else?}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Venerated animals are twice as easy to tame.

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

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

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

{{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 appears after 8 days, counting from the moment you've reached 3 colonists for the first time (including if you've started with more). This quest won't appear if you have under 3 colonists, any of your colonists reached the title of a [[Title#Titles|Yeoman]], 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 appears after 26 days of the colony start. This quest won't appear if you are in an extreme biome. 

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. Regardless of the outcome, this shuttle can be deconstructed for {{Icon Small|plasteel}} 35, {{Icon Small|steel}} 20, {{Icon Small|component}} 5 and, if the [[Odyssey DLC]] is enabled, a [[shuttle engine]].{{OdysseyIcon}}
* 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.

== 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.

== 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:
* An [[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.

== 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 panel]]s 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.<br>The 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 [[gravcore]]s and [[gravlite panel]]s 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]].

On non-Grav Ship scenario starts, the Initial Grav Ship quest fires on Day 6. The first sub-quest will fire roughly 1 day after investigating the Grav Ship Engine.

On the Grav Ship Scenario, the first sub-quest will fire between days 5 and 8.

Later sub-quests will fire every 15 to 30 days, weighted to have an average time between of 20 days. Grav Ship sub-quests only if the player has an installed Grav Engine and the player has less than 3 sub-quests available.

Sub-quests will fire indefinitely until the player completes the Mech Hive quest. Once the Mech Hive is completed, Grav Cores can still be obtained through random quests.

=== 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 panel]]s. 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 panel]]s 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 crashed nearby.

If you do not have a [[grav engine]], and do not have the initial "Mechanoid Signal" quest available, after a while 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.

The Gravship wreckage quest will fire like any other quest assuming the conditions are met. Because the Gravship quest fires like any other quest, it may take a long time to fire. Once the quest fires, it has a 2 year cooldown before it can fire again.

A player should only be able to have 1 Grav Engine at a time.

==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.

Starei: /* Cosmetic */ This seems to have since been corrected. Also, there

{{Biotech}}
{{Recode|reason=Thought templates}}
{{See also|altphrase=This page is a list of genes. For a full explanation of the gene system see|Genetics}}
'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilities to [[human]] pawns. They can be obtained from character creation or implanted via [[xenogerm]].

Metabolic efficiency, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, controls the rate at which pawns get [[Saturation|hungry]]. Harmful genes will increase their metabolic efficiency, getting hungry slower, and thus consuming less food overall. Meanwhile helpful genes reduce metabolic efficiency, getting hungry faster, and thus consuming more food. A baseline human has a metabolic efficiency of 0 (100% hunger rate), and genes can bring it as low as -5 (225% hunger rate) or up to 5 (50% hunger rate). The game prevents you from giving pawns less than -5 metabolic efficiency; it doesn't stop you from exceeding 5, but hunger rate will not go below 50%.

Note that genes with over [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] 5 cannot be extracted by themselves, and must be extracted in a pack with another gene that lowers metabolism cost.

Complexity, denoted by the [[File:Complexity.png|20px|Complexity]] symbol, affects how many [[gene processor]]s you need to create a [[xenogerm]] from a set of genes. A [[gene assembler]] can create xenogerms with a maximum complexity of 6, plus 2 for every attached gene processor. Complexity also determines the base time it takes to create the xenogerm, ranging from 4 hours at ≤3 complexity, to 23 hours at ≥20 complexity (which is then scaled by the [[research speed]] of whoever operates the gene assembler).

The type of gene is shown both by its position in the gene tab of the pawn and its background:
* [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|32px]] Germline Genes
* [[File:GeneBackground_Xenogene.png|32px]] Xenogenes
* [[File:GeneBackground ArchiteGene.png|32px]] Archite genes

== Work Required ==
The work required to create a xenogerm is determined by its [[File:Complexity.png|20px|Complexity]]. First, a base value is obtained from the post-process curve with the points:

=== Body type ===
Since people without these genes can have any of the four body types, these genes effectively limit what body types a xenotype can have. For example, [[File:Neanderthal.png|20px|link=Neanderthals]][[Neanderthals]] cannot be thin, because they have all three of the other genes.

=== Melanin ===

These natural skin colors are '''not available in the xenotype editor and cannot be extracted'''. Every person gets one of these as a germline gene unless they already have a skin-color germline gene (e.g. [[File:Dirtmole.png|20px|link=Dirtmoles]][[Dirtmoles]] have light gray skin instead of these).

These genes are defined in Core, not Biotech. They are all named "Skin color" in-game.

=== Skin ===
These exotic (non-natural) skin colors do not appear on anyone without the gene. Like body type genes and hair genes, a person can have more than one skin color gene (e.g. [[File:Impid.png|20px|link=Impids]][[Impids]] have three), and one will be chosen.

All of these genes have a "random brightness factor" of 0.18 unless otherwise specified.

| Carriers have a reserve of unique resurrector archites which can infuse a corpse, rebuild degenerated tissue and kickstart the vital processes. This brings the dead back to life - though possibly with health issues. This can only be done very rarely, and comes at a steep hemogen cost.

:''Use archites in the bloodstream to infuse a corpse's body with new life, repairing degenerated cell structures and kickstarting vital functions. The older and worse-preserved the corpse is, the more likely it is that they will come back with memory loss or health conditions.

== Notes ==
* Certain genes will not be properly negated by other genes. For example, a drug dependency germline gene, while appearing to be negated by the same drug dependency as a xenogene, will instead cause the negative mood from the lack of the drug to start at 2.5 days instead of at 5 days.

== Version history ==
* [[Biotech DLC]] Release - Added.
* [[Version/1.4.3524|1.4.3524]] - Children no longer get adult body types from genes.
* [[Version/1.4.3525|1.4.3525]] - Fix: Suppressed genes contributing to romance chance still apply. Fix: Attempting to absorb a xenogerm of your own colonist displays a warning message saying you'll anger your faction.

** [[#Psychic bonding|Psychic bond]] now gives +10% [[psychic sensitivity]], or +5% if on different maps. Hediff description changed from ''This person has a psychic bond with another person based on the psychic bonding gene.'' to ''This person has a psychic bond with another person based on the psychic bonding gene. The bond itself grants some limited psychic awareness, allowing it to connect even with the psychically deaf''. Bonds can now be created during lovin' allowing pawns already in a relationship when the gene was implanted to bond.
**Many genes now give direct boosts instead of forcing traits, which allows genes and traits to stack:
*** '''Depressive''' gene renamed to [[#Very unhappy|Very unhappy]], no longer forces [[Depressive]] trait instead decreases mood by {{--|10}}. '''Pessimist''' gene renamed to [[#Unhappy|Unhappy]], no longer forces [[Pessimist]] trait instead decreases mood by {{--|5}}. '''Optimist''' gene renamed to [[#Happy|Happy]], no longer forces [[Optimist]] trait instead increases mood by {{+|5}}. '''Sanguine''' gene renamed to [[#Very happy|Very happy]], no longer forces [[Sanguine]] trait instead increases mood by {{+|10}}.
*** [[#Slow runner|Slow runner]] no longer forces [[Slowpoke]] trait instead decreases move speed by {{--|0.2}} {{CS}}. [[#Fast runner|Fast runner]] no longer forces [[Fast walker]] trait instead increases move speed by {{+|0.2}} {{CS}}. [[#Very fast runner|Very fast runner]] no longer forces [[Jogger]] trait instead increases move speed by {{+|0.4}} {{CS}}.
***'''Slow learner''' renamed to [[#Slow study|Slow study]], no longer forces [[Slow learner]] trait instead multiplies [[Global Learning Factor]] {{Bad|×50%}}. '''Fast learner''' renamed to [[#Quick study|Quick study]], no longer forces [[Fast learner]] trait instead increases [[Global Learning Factor]] {{+|50%}}.
*** '''Staggeringly ugly''' gene renamed to [[#Very unattractive|Very unattractive]], no longer forces [[Staggeringly ugly]] trait instead decreases beauty by {{--|2}}. '''Ugly''' gene renamed to [[#Unattractive|Unattractive]], no longer forces [[Ugly]] trait instead decreases beauty by {{--|1}}. '''Pretty''' gene renamed to [[#Attractive|Attractive]], no longer forces [[Pretty]] trait instead increase beauty by {{+|1}}. '''Beautiful''' gene renamed to [[#Very attractive|Very attractive]], no longer forces [[Beautiful]] trait instead increase beauty by {{+|2}}.
** '''<Drug> addict-resist''' genes renamed to [[#Alcohol resistant|<Drug> resistant]], Addiction-resistant genes for alcohol, smokeleaf and psychite provide a 50% reduction in tolerance buildup. Addiction-resistant genes for psychite, wake-up and go juice have a 50% multiplier on overdose chance. Smokeleaf and Alcohol resistant metabolism cost reduced from {{--|2}} to {{--|1}}.
** '''<Drug> addict-immune''' genes renamed to [[#Alcohol impervious|<Drug> impervious]]. Addiction-immune genes for psychite, wake-up and go juice grants immunity to overdoses from the drug. Addiction-immune genes for alcohol, smokeleaf and psychite provides a 100% reduction in tolerance buildup. Smokeleaf and Alcohol impervious metabolism cost reduced from {{--|5}} to {{--|3}}.
**[[#Smokeleaf dependency|Smokeleaf]] and [[#Alcohol dependency|Alcohol dependency]] metabolism gain reduced from {{+|4}} to {{+|3}}.
** Fix: Remove reference to damage over time in acid spray ability description. {{Hover title|Spray a sticky acid substance from glands in the neck up through the mouth and all over the target area. The acid will stick to targets and burn them over time.|''[...] stick to targets and burn them over time.''}} to {{Hover title|Spray a sticky acid substance from glands in the neck up through the mouth and all over the target area. The acid will stick to targets and burn them.|''[...] stick to targets and burn them.''}}
** [[#Furskin|Furskin]] and [[#Beardless|beardless]] genes are now mutually exclusive.
** Buffed [[#Furry tail|furry tail]] minimum comfy temperature offset from {{Good|{{temperature|-5||delta}}}} to {{Good|{{temperature|-10||delta}}}}.
** When a [[#Deathless|deathless]] pawn takes damage that would have been lethal and falls into a deathrest coma instead, as an additional consequence they lose 3-6% of XP in a random skill. This should make non-death less trivial for these characters and preserve the sense of risk and danger. We’ll tuned this ongoing as needed.
** Fix: Bloodfeed can be used on pawns in mental states.
* [[Version/1.4.3557|1.4.3557]] - [[#Slow study|Slow study]] gene applies a {{Bad|x50%}} factor to [[Global Learning Factor]] instead of a {{--|50%}} offset.
* [[Version/1.4.3563|1.4.3563]] - Fix: Pawns with "dead calm" gene can get into fights over botched conversion attempts. Fix: Genes that remove all passions don't save previous values, causing passions to reset on removal. Fix: Pawns being carried by other pawns strains psychic bond.
* [[Version/1.4.3580|1.4.3580]] - Fix: Furskin_Average3 head uses the wrong graphic. Fix: Tattoos render below heavy brow. Fix: Furskin gene hair/fur color not staying when implanted with a skin color xenogene. Fix: Exception trying to visit sick pawn with neversleep gene.
* [[Version/1.4.3613|1.4.3613]] - Fix: Reimplant ability not working with custom xenotypes.
* [[Version/1.4.3641|1.4.3641]] - Fix: Inactive sterile gene affects fertility.
* [[Version/1.4.3682|1.4.3682]] - [[Arrest]]ing dead calm pawns now never fails, to prevent them going berserk.
* [[Version/1.5.4062|1.5.4062]] -
** Made psychic bond distance thought more permissive. As long as both pawns are on the same map and not suspended (cryptosleep casket) they get the positive thought.
** Remove reference to damage over time in acid spray gene description. ("...it will stick to enemies and burn them over time." to "...it will stick to enemies and burn them.")
** Added more acid filth texture options for acid spray so it never looks tiled.
** Attached helpful text to mouse when selected pawn is aiming animal warcall ability.
** Updated fire spew LOS highlighting.
** Updated psychic bonding hediff tooltip to factor in pawns contained in buildings.
** Clarify that pawns with no xenogenes cannot implant their xenogerm into another person. Show correct warning message on attempt.
** Fix: Pawns with genetic drug needs aren't getting mothballed. Can improve performance in late-game saves.
** Fix: Chemical genes affect tolerance buildup and addiction chance of all chemicals, not just the specified one.
** Fix: On colonist selection, wasters and hussars are currently generating without their drug dependencies.
** Fix: Small increments of pawn speed differences are lost due to integer calculations. Very quick and quick genes were effectively the same on an otherwise unmodified pawn.
** Fix: Drug dependency endogenes aren't properly being overridden by other drug-related xenogenes of the same chemical.
** Fix: Psychic bonds can form between two pawns that have the psychic bonding genes even if they are bonded to other people.
** Fix: Pawns still carry a weapon after getting incapable of violence gene.
** Fix: Pawns incapable of violence still can use combat gene abilities
** Fix: Fire spew can shoot through walls.
** Fix: Fire spew ability not leaning like other ranged attacks.
** Fix: Fire spew ability can't target walls.
** Fix: Perfect immunity doesn't block gut worms or muscle parasites.
* [[Version/1.6.4518|1.6.4518]] - Added 2 new genes: [[#Indoor dweller|Indoor dweller]] and [[#Webbed phalanges|webbed phalanges]]. The former is added to dirtmoles, resulting in complexity increasing from 9 -> 10, Net metabolism decreasing from +1 -> 0, hunger rate increasing from 90% -> 100%.
* [[Version/1.6.4535|1.6.4535]] - Made the [[breathless]] gene suppress the normal [[vacuum resistant]] gene, removing its metabolic impact.
* [[Version/1.6.4566|1.6.4566]] - Rebalanced the starjack xenotype, added the [[Low gravity adapted]] gene. Removed [[Awful plants]], replaced [[Poor melee]] with [[Awful melee]] and replaced [[Cold tolerant]] with [[Cold super-tolerant]]. Net metabolism decreasing from +1 -> 0, hunger rate increasing from 90% -> 100%. [[Breathless]] and [[Vacuum resistant]] now grants [[Minimum Comfortable Temperature]]: {{---|{{temperature|5||delta}}}}

Ancients

2025-09-04T22:38:53Z

Starei: /* Hostile Ancients */

{{Stub|reason=Sentry drones are considered hostile ancients}}
{{Recode|reason= Xenotypes?}}
'''Ancients''' are semi-hidden [[Lore#Tech levels|spacer tech level]] [[faction]]s, exclusively made up of pawns found in the [[ancient cryptosleep casket]]s in [[ancient shrine]]s. There are two factions of Ancient: Neutral Ancients, which start neutral, and Hostile Ancients, which are always hostile. All ancient shrine pawns will belong to one of these two factions.
[[File:Ancient.png|thumb|right|Faction icon for the Ancients]]

== Lore ==
{{stub|section=1|reason=Missing section}}
The remnants of an era long past, the Ancients, their allegiance, and the name of their former civilization, have all been lost to time. Originally soldiers of a long forgotten spacer military, for one reason or another, they had resorted to locking themselves into cryptosleep caskets for what could've been centuries. Very little is known about them, but what is evident is that they mainly use advanced gunpowder weapons, and should not be underestimated for underprepared colonies seeking to "borrow" some tech.

== Variants ==
All ancient shrine pawns will belong to one of the two following factions, and the factions are world-wide - neutral ancients from one map's shrine belong to the same faction as neutral ancients from another map.

=== Neutral Ancients ===
Neutral ancients predictably start off neutral, but will turn permanently hostile when any hostile act is taken against their members. This applies to all neutral ancients in the world, even others from other maps.
However, their tendency to just walk off the map after opening the caskets remains even after making the faction hostile, so they may not fight despite being displayed, and reacted to by your pawns, as hostile.

=== Hostile Ancients ===
As the name implies, Hostile Ancients are permanently hostile. The faction cannot be befriended, however, they can be downed and taken prisoner to be sold, enslaved, or recruited.
[[Drones]]{{OdysseyIcon}} are also considered part of this faction.

== Pawns ==
Ancient pawns always have [[backstories]] from the "offworld" category.

{{:Ancients/Pawns}}

== Faction bases ==
{{Main|Ancient shrine}}
Unlike other factions, Ancients have no faction bases and instead only appear in ancient shrines on the player's map.

== Analysis ==
Any pawn from a Cryptosleep Casket that is initially capable of walking has a resistance of 1 or less. Both neutral walking and hostile ancients can be quickly recruited as prisoners if the players is able to capture them alive.

Downed pawns from a Cryptosleep casket have a chance of joining the colony automatically if rescued. It is believed the % chance to join is based on Population Intent. Downed pawns from a Cryptosleep Casket have a much larger initial resistance if captured.

The '''salvagers''' are a [[Lore#Tech_levels|spacer tech level]] hidden [[faction]] added by the [[Odyssey DLC]]. Like the [[Traders guild]], they operate entirely within the space layer.<br>
They also function similarly to [[pirates]] - their [[goodwill]] is locked at {{Bad|-100}}; they are permanently hostile.

The table below describes the chance for a given pawn from each faction being one of the [[xenotypes]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]]. Note that this value does not account for chances in xenotype chance from [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} or from pawn kind, it only shows the base value before those factors.
{{Faction Xenotype Table|Salvagers|Salvagers}}
The xenotype set for the '''Salvagers''' is similar to that of the [[Traders guild]], with a lower frequency of [[Starjack]].

'''Events''' are driven by the currently selected [[AI Storytellers|AI storyteller]].

Most events that occur create a [[Menu#Letters|Letter]], an envelope icon on the right side of the screen. Other events will pause the game and pop up a window where the player must make a choice. Usually, the color of the envelope will suggest the severity of the event; blue envelopes are good events, grey is neutral, yellow is bad, and red denotes direct threats.

Many event titles are variable. They can mention location, pawn and faction names, specific buffs or debuffs, or even have countdowns for the time variable events.

There's a special kind of events called [[Quests]] which work under different rules.

=== Anomaly events ===
{{Anomaly}}
:{{For|the complete list of events|Events/Anomaly}}

Events from the [[Anomaly]]{{AnomalyIcon}} DLC work different from normal events and are intrinsically related to the [[Monolith]] structure. Due to this, all Anomaly events will be listed on its own page.

== Major threats ==
Major threats can appear from Base Builder difficulty onwards. They mostly consist of direct attacks to your colony. Their size depends on the [[raid points]] mechanic; generally increasing in strength with wealth, colonist count, and [[difficulty]].

[[Cassandra Classic]] and [[Phoebe Chillax]] both treat major threats separately from other events; they cycle between "OnDays" and "OffDays", where a certain amount of major events ''will'' occur during each OnDay cycle. [[Randy Random]] simply treats a major threat as an event that's less likely to happen.

<div class="mw-customtoggle-Majorthreats" style="display:center;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.5);color:white;padding:10px;border-radius:5px;outline:none;user-select:none">
{{Center|Show/Hide Major Events}}</div>

<div class="mw-collapsible" id="mw-customcollapsible-Majorthreats">

=== Major threats generation===
Major threats can be fired via 3 different methods: storyteller, quest, and special fired. Storyteller major threats are fired according to the Storyteller's schedule. Randy's "schedule" is a random firing mechanic. Quest major threats must be explicitly accepted by the player. Special fired major threats are limited to Wastepack Infestations that can spawn when a wastepack deteriorates ([[Biotech|Biotech DLC]]{{BiotechIcon}}).

For Storyteller fired major threats, first the storyteller determines which type of major threat is to be sent. Each type of major threat has a specific weight. Some major threats may not be possible at a specific time and would have a weight of 0. For example, Infestations and Mass Animal Insanity each require specific conditions that may not be met. Some major threats are gated behind Raid Point amounts. Infestations and Mechanoid Droner, Defoliator and Clusters all required at least 400 Raid Points.

|}

=== Raid Generation ===
After the storyteller has chosen to fire a major threat, and chosen to fire a raid, first the Faction of the Raid is chosen. Each faction is given a weight and all hostile factions are considered separately. Human factions each have a weight of 1. The mechanoid faction's weight changes with raid Points. As Raid Points go up the weight of the Mechanoid Faction Increases. Mechanoids weight is 0 until 300 raid points. The weight of human factions can become 0 at extreme temperatures.

After the faction is chosen, the attack type is chosen. Each attack type has a weight. Some factions do not have all possible attack types. For example, Tribals cannot Siege. After the attack type is chosen, arrival method is chosen. Each arrival method has a weight. Some weights change based on raid points. Some arrival methods are not possible with some factions. Some attack types only arrive via certain methods.

Once Rimworld has determined the faction, attack type and arrival type, a Raid Composition is selected. Each faction has defined raid compositions like the "all sniper" or "all melee attack".

=== Enemy attack ===
----
{{Main|Raids}}
Commonly known as a '''raid''', this event comes in several types. It is possible for multiple raids to happen at the same time, even of opposing factions. [[Raider]]s will come and assault your colony, first attacking adult colonists that they can walk to, then animals and buildings. Human raiders flee if enough of them have been [[downed]] or killed, or if enough damage to your colony has been done. [[Mechanoid]]s will persist indefinitely.

===== Arrival methods =====
Tribal-level factions can't use drop pods, so are limited to assaults.

* '''Assaults''': Arrive at the edge of the map, either by walking or by [[drop pod]]. They may assault the colony immediately, or stage for a time before launching their attack, giving you time to prepare.
* '''Center drop''': Raiders immediately attack via drop pod, centered on one of your colonists. There is 40% to drop on an un[[roof]]ed [[orbital trade beacon]] if one is present. Drop pods can go through constructed and thin rock roofs, but not overhead mountain.
* '''Scatter drop''': Raiders immediately attack via drop pod, which have gone "haywire" and will disperse throughout the map.

===== Types =====
* '''Smart''': "Unusually clever", will try and avoid [[trap]]s and [[turret]]s.
* '''Sappers''': Sappers will try and mine or break walls to create the shortest route to a colonist's bedroom. They are smaller than usual raids.
* '''Breachers''': Appears with breach-type raiders, such as tribals with [[breach axe]]s or [[termite]] [[mechanoid]]s. Breachers will attack walls in their path indiscriminately, as opposed to sappers having a target.
* '''Siege''': See below.

File:Sappers.png|'''Sappers'''
</gallery>

==== Siege ====
Sieges are a special type of raid. They arrive in drop pods, along with supplies. They will construct [[sandbag]]s and [[mortar]]s, and will continuously be supplied with food and mortar shells. They will fire at colonists, colony structures, and other pawns they are hostile to. Sieges will directly assault the colony after a long time (a few days), if their mortars are destroyed or unbuildable, or after sufficient casualties.

It is possible to steal a critical material (like [[component]]s) and prevent them from completing construction. This is largely possible with a [[psycast]]er{{RoyaltyIcon}} using both Invisibility and Skip, with enough heat capacity to cast both 2-3 times in a row.

Strategies to force sieges to attack include the [[sniper rifle]] (watch out for other snipers), a [[psychic animal pulser]], or your own [[mortar]]s.

=== Infestation ===
----
{{main|Infestation}}
Infestations come with [[hive]]s and [[insectoid]]s. Hives will produce [[insect jelly]], but will rapidly create insects, too. If you don't want it to infest the whole area, muster your forces and destroy it. But beware - the bugs will defend their hive.

In order for a regular infestation to spawn, there must be an open area with the [[overhead mountain]] roof, within 30 tiles of a colony [[structure]], and a temperature above {{Temperature|-17}}. Light, and temperatures below {{Temperature|-8}} reduce the chance of infestations.

The [[#Too Deep: Infestation|Too Deep: Infestation]] is a separate event. [[Insect]]s can still arrive, but this event has separate mechanics.

The [[#Wastepack_infestation|Wastepack infestations]] is a separate event available if [[Biotech]]{{BiotechIcon}} is active. The end effect is similar, but the mechanics are different.

=== Manhunter pack ===
----
{{For|the mental state that makes these animals hostile|Manhunter}}
A pack of [[scaria]]-infested animals have arrived, [[Manhunter|hunting]] for human flesh. A manhunter pack has 40% more points (i.e. 40% more "raiders") than a regular raid. When killed, scaria has a chance to instantly rot a [[corpse]], which makes them inedible and creates [[rot stink]]. A single animal can arrive and the event will still be called a "pack".

Manhunters will roam the region, attacking any human they can path to. The animals can't enter doors, but if they see a colonist run behind a door, they will attempt to beat down the door. If left alive, they will congregate around your base for anywhere from 24 to 54 in-game hours before they all leave.

[[File:Manhunter pack.png|300px|Manhunting [[warg]]s]]

=== Psychic wave ===
----
Appears as Mad Animals: (Animal name). Immediately drives local [[animals|wildlife]] insane, becoming [[manhunter]]. As opposed to a manhunter pack, these animals do not have [[scaria]], and so won't immediately rot. No new animals are created - only animals already on the map can be affected. This fact means that psychic waves scale poorly with raid points; advanced colonies will find these events much smaller than any other major threat.

As manhunters, the selected animals will roam the region, attacking any human they can path to. The animals can't enter doors, but if they see a colonist run behind a door, they will attempt to beat down the door. Unlike with scaria, the manhunter status will end when the animals need to sleep.

This event has a [[#Mad animal|variation]] that only affects a single animal, which is not considered a major threat.

=== Crashed ship part ===
----
{{For|the help guide|Defense structures#Crashed ships}}
{{For|information on the ship parts themselves|Crashed ship parts}}
A [[crashed ship parts|large piece of an ancient ship]] crashes nearby, along with a pack of [[mechanoid]]s. The mechs will generate dormant, but will awaken when they or the ship part are attacked. While the ship part is still active, they will activate an intensifying negative effect on the map.

==== Defoliator ship ====
A crashed defoliator ship kills all wild or domesticated plants in an expanding circle, up to a radius of 100 tiles. The poison kills crops randomly, including plants grown in [[hydroponics basin]]s. Crops will end up nearly impossible to grow. If the [[Biotech DLC]] is active, this ship part will also generate [[Pollution]]{{BiotechIcon}} from its center at a rate of 6~7 tiles per day.

==== Psychic ship ====
A ship part projects a psychic drone which negatively affects the [[mood]] of a specific gender. It begins low and grows progressively stronger the longer it stays. [[Psychic sensitivity]] increases or decreases the drone's effect.

The ship's is also capable of emitting psychic pulses that can drive a colonist to an immediate mental break, or nearby animals to madness.

====== Drone intensifies ======
If left alone long enough, the drone emitted from a crashed psychic ship will get worse as time goes on. Every 2.5 days the drone gets stronger, from -12 mood at the beginning up to -48 after 7.5 days.

File:Poison ship.png|'''Defoliator ship'''
File:Psychic ship.png|'''Psychic ship'''
</gallery>

=== Mech cluster ===
----
{{Royalty|Section=1}}
{{main|Mech cluster}}
Mech clusters are similar to crashed ship parts with a more complex structure, with buildings like [[wall]]s, [[turret]]s, and [[unstable power cell]]s. They also spawn dormant, but can come with activators, able to wake up from proximity or over time. They can come with on-map [[condition causer]]s, such as sun blockers or EMP dynamos.

=== Problem causer ===
----
{{Royalty|Section=1}}
{{main|Condition causer}}
A [[condition causer]] has appeared within 10 world tiles of your colony, creating a negative effect. It must be destroyed to stop the effect. Some conditions may be situationally good, such as a psychic suppressor (male) when you only have females in the colony.

</div>

== Extreme weather ==
These events alter the environmental conditions of the colony map, only able to appear from Base Builder difficulty onward.
<div class="mw-customtoggle-XWeather" style="display:center;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.5);color:white;padding:10px;border-radius:5px;outline:none;user-select:none">{{Center|Show/Hide Extreme Weather Events}}</div>

=== Flashstorm ===
----
[[File:FlashstormScreenshot.png|300px|thumb|left]]
"''A freak localized storm is blasting a small area with repeated lightning strikes.''"

'''Flashstorm''' is a localized, intense '''[[lightning]] storm''' within a radius between 45 and 60 tiles. Active lightning will strike between every {{Ticks|320}} to {{Ticks|800}}. Once it finishes, no rain can fall until {{Ticks|30000}} has passed. This can create big [[fire]]s. It lasts between 0.075 and 0.1 days, and will not reoccur for 15 days. Clicking the envelope icon offers the option to jump to the center point.

This can also be caused by the [[Psycasts#Flashstorm|Flashstorm]] Psycast {{RoyaltyIcon}}, but will not show up as a notification.
{{clear}}

=== Toxic fallout ===
----
"''A distant chemical fire has released a plume of poison over this entire region that will slowly settle out of the atmosphere. It will last for anywhere from a few days to an entire season.''"

'''Toxic fallout''' is a dangerous event which causes [[toxic buildup]] to any pawn not under a roof. The fallout also gives a {{--|5}} [[mood]]let for colonists when outside. It lasts between 2.5 and 10.5 days, will not occur before Day 60 of the colony, and will not reoccur for 90 days.

Toxic buildup from toxic fallout is proportional to both [[Toxic Resistance]] and the [[Toxic Environment Resistance]] of the pawn. Animals have 50% [[Toxic Resistance]], so buildup increases at half the rate, but exposed animals will eventually die. When animals die with toxic buildup, there is a chance, scaling with severity, for their [[corpse]] to immediately rot.

By default, toxic buildup increases at a rate of 40% per day. For humans, a moderate buildup - 40% severity, or 24 hours left outside - is enough to potentially cause permanent damage, from either [[dementia]] or [[carcinoma]]. Death happens at 100% severity. In [[Biotech]],{{BiotechIcon}} both resistances can be gained in a number of ways, allowing counters to the effects of the fallout. These include the [[face mask]], [[gas mask]], [[detoxifier kidney]], [[detoxifier lung]] and several [[genes]].

Excluding some special cases ([[Anima tree]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, [[Anima grass]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, [[Gauranlen tree]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, [[Gauranlen pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, [[Polux tree]]{{BiotechIcon}}), all plants will wither during the fallout, trees included. Every in-game hour, the affected plants will receive between 48.9 and 66.1 points of damage {{Check Tag|57.51667 base damage ±15%}}. Crops can be protected under a roof, but without a [[sun lamp]], they'll rot anyways. [[Insectoid]]s and [[mechanoid]]s are fully immune.

=== Volcanic winter ===
----
"''A distant supervolcano has erupted and begun spewing millions of cubic kilometers of ash into the atmosphere. Ash in the atmosphere will obscure the sun. Temperatures will drop and plants will suffer for lack of sunlight. It could pass in a few weeks, or it might last many months.''"

'''Volcanic winter''' lowers the temperature and natural [[light]], which in turn weakens [[solar generator]]s and slows plant growth. They also appear to significantly reduce the inflow of wildlife (observed in a Temperate Forest, 300x300, very few animals came in during Spring-Summer when there would normally be many). This can easily lead to meat shortage and famine if you do not have sufficiently large farms for your colony. Volcanic winters will last between 7.5 and 40 days, will not occur before Day 60 of the colony, and will not reoccur for 140 days.

To be specific, the temperature is reduced by {{Temperature|7}} and the light by 30% over the course of {{Ticks|50000}}. The wildlife density is cut by half, and pawns can no longer enjoy their time outside.

== Random Events ==
These are the 3rd set of events able to be triggered by the [[storyteller]]. Internally, Random Events are classified as either good, bad, or quest.

=== Quests ===
{{Main|Quests}}
Quests are a class of event that provide conditions to be met or actions to be performed to gain a reward. There are a wide variety of quests, which are listed on the quest page.

=== Good ===
<div class="mw-customtoggle-RandomGood" style="display:inline-block;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.5);color:white;padding:10px;border-radius:5px;outline:none;user-select:none">Show Good Random Events</div>

<div id="mw-customcollapsible-RandomGood" class="mw-collapsible">

==== Ambrosia sprout ====
[[File:Ambrosia sprout.png|300px|right|thumb|An ambrosia sprout among the trees]]
[[{{Q|Ambrosia bush|Image}}|48px|left|frameless]]{{quote|A grove of the mysterious [[ambrosia bush]] has sprouted nearby! If you wait for the plants to grow, you'll be able to harvest the delicious, pleasurable, and slightly addictive [[Ambrosia|fruit]].}}
Ambrosia bushes are the only way to harvest [[ambrosia]], a safe [[mood]] boosting [[social drug]]. A good way to harvest them is to draw a growing zone over them, but forbid sowing. Colonists will then automatically harvest the bushes when they are fully grown.

It can only happen in the following [[biomes]]:
<div style="width:500px"><ul class="ul-column-width-150">
* [[Tropical rainforest]]
* [[Tropical swamp]]
* [[Temperate forest]]
* [[Temperate swamp]]
* [[Boreal forest]]
* [[Arid shrubland]]
</ul></div>

==== Animals join ====
Tamed dogs or [[farm animals]] from off-map join your colony.

==== Animal self-tamed ====
[[File:Thrumbo self-tamed.png|300px|right]]
A random animal on the map becomes tame, and immediately joins the colony. The frequency of self-taming events is unrelated to the number of animals on the map, provided there is at least one. This means in a tundra biome with one snowhare you're just as likely to get a self-taming event as in a tropical swamp populated with dozens of animals. Previously tamed animals can self-tame, and will retain the name and all training they previously had.

For pen animals, you must rope them into a pen or to a caravan hitching spot or the animal will eventually run off the map, though usually this is not urgent. For zoneable animals, you should check the "Animals" tab and assign the animal to an appropriate zone, unless you want to let it move unrestricted. If you are dangerously low on food, be aware that if a zoneable animal self-tames and there is no food in the environment, it will run inside your base and eat your food stores when it gets hungry.

==== Aurora ====
An aurora lights up the night sky, giving a +14 mood boost to anyone who is outside watching. While in real life it only happens near the poles, on the rimworlds it can happen anywhere regardless of latitude. It ends at day and otherwise lasts from 0.125 to 0.35 days.

Despite the event text stating that it will "make the night brighter", it does not actually affect the light level.

==== Cargo pods ====
[[File:Cargo pods.png|300px|right]]
From time to time, [[transport pod|cargo pods]] will fall out of orbit, containing a random amount of single type of resource. The remains of the pods become [[steel slag chunk]]s, which can be refined into usable metal at an [[electric smelter]]. The pods have a chance of crashing through the roofs of any buildings, damaging any nearby furniture, structures or any pawn they land on.
{{Clear}}

==== Herd migration: (Animal) ====
[[File:Thrumbo herd migration.png|300px|right]]

A large herd of [[animal]]s is passing through the area. They won't attack unless provoked. They pass by quickly, so you must be quick if you want to hunt or attempt taming them.

This event only occurs in the following biomes:

<div style="column-count:3; width:350px;">
* [[Sea ice]]
* [[Ice sheet]]
* [[Tundra]]
* [[Desert]]
* [[Extreme desert]]

</div>

==== Party ====
One of your colonists will throw a party around a [[party spot]], or if unavailable, a gather spot ([[table]] or [[campfire]]). Colonists will continually get mood buffs the longer they attend a party.{{Check Tag|Detail|Stacking behavior for party duration?}} Each stack adds {{+|0.8}} to mood, lasts 10 days and stacks up to 10 times, for a max buff of +8 mood. In addition, a party provides many social opportunities. They will usually have [[beer]]s and [[smokeleaf joint]]s, if available, and eat [[meal]]s even when not hungry.

Pawns that don't attend won't get mood buffs. Players may have to [[draft]] and undraft pawns to get them out of work. If too many pawns, or the hosting pawn are drafted at once, or if a [[raid]] happens, then the party will be called off.

==== Psychic soothe ====
[[File:Psychic soothe.png|300px|right]]

When this event triggers, the soothe gives a positive mood modifier (+16 for normal colonists, more or less depending on the [[Psychic Sensitivity]]) to all colonists of a randomly chosen sex. It can be considered the opposite of the [[#Psychic drone|Psychic Drone]], but does not have different levels of severity. It lasts between 1.5 and 3.0 days and will not reoccur for 15 days.
{{Clear}}

==== (Trader type) ====
This event, without a faction mentioned, occurs when an orbital [[trade]] ship passes near the colony and you have a powered [[comms console]]. Players may trade to obtain resources or weapons, or alternatively sell excess items for silver, which is always accepted by traders. Note that orbital trade ships can appear even when the comms console is turned off, so check the console during a solar flare.

You need to build [[orbital trade beacon]]s before contacting them so you can beam [[silver]] and items up to the ship to actually carry out transactions. You can still check the items for sale even without them however.

==== (Trader type) from (Faction) ====
This event with the faction name mentioned means the traders are terrestrial. Trader caravans from other non-hostile factions can stop by your colony, whether specifically requested via the [[comms console]] at a hit to good will or randomly on their own with no penalty.

==== Transport pod crash ====
[[File:Rescuee joined your group.png|300px|thumb|right|Since you rescued him/her. Character joined your group!]]
A [[downed]] and injured occupant falls from the sky, containing members of a [[faction]] or neutral, unaffiliated spacers. A friendly or neutral occupant can be rescued to a medical bed, while a hostile member must be put into a prison bed.

Once healed, non-hostile crash victims will either join your colony out of gratitude, or walk away to return to their faction. You can instead [[Prisoner|capture]] a non-hostile person, but their faction (if not spacer) will turn hostile.

===== Paralytic abasia =====
{{Royalty|section=1}}
A transport pod can crash with a person with [[paralytic abasia]], a [[disease]] which prevents movement until cured (usually after 40 days). Unlike regular transport pods, the person will directly ask to join the colony. If you refuse, then colonists will get the same penalties as if you banished another colonist.

===== Baby =====
{{Biotech|section=1}}
A transport pod may crash with a [[baby]] instead of the regular occupant, and will always appear as a friendly faction/neutral refugee/unaffiliated. You can choose to ignore it and let it starve to death, or adopt the baby by selecting it and click "Adopt". Rarely, the corpse of the baby's parent can also appear next to it, still in pristine condition.
{{clear}}

==== Wanderer joins ====
A random person will forcefully try and join the colony. You have 24 hours to accept or reject them. Accepting will have them appear on the world map. Rejecting will give the same penalties as if you had banished a colonist. Unless it'd be dangerous to enter your colony, there is no reason not to accept the wanderer, see their stats, and then decide to keep or banish them.

With [[Ideology]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, the colonist that joins the colony will have a randomized Ideoligion. This event can also occur at 50% rate if an [[Ideoligion]]'s event result set for this event is "Beautiful/Fun/Good / Unforgettable", with said colonist with the same Ideoligion as the masses of the colonist in the colony.

</gallery>

==== Wild (wo)man wanders in ====
A random person with no faction wanders into your colony and will mill about the map. You have the option to [[Tame]] this person with a minimum [[Skills#Animals|Animals skill]] of {{Q|Human|Minimum Handling Skill}}. Doing so will convert them to into a completely normal colonist. Sometimes, they may not be able to resist the harshness of nature and may fall unconscious (ex: Toxic Fallout, extreme temperatures), allowing you to rescue them like transport pod crash victims. They also have the same hunger needs as regular humans, and if they do not find animals to hunt or wild plants (or simply do not want to) they can walk into your base and eat your food, which can be an annoyance. Arresting them will not allow you to recruit or [[Slavery|enslave]]{{IdeologyIcon}} them like regular prisoners, they must be tamed or rescued.

Wild humans have a 50% chance of attacking when harmed, and 10% if taming fails.

These wild (wo)men may have random Ideoligion with [[Ideology]].

Unlike other animals, wild people will not flee from gunfire. Wild people can hunt human pawns for food like a predator, regardless of whether they are cannibals or not. Wild people who are incapable of violence will not hunt at all, but may still become manhunter when provoked.

</gallery>

==== Traveler Visit ====
{{:Traveler}}

==== Visitor(s) ====
Friendly faction members may stop by your settlement. Occasionally, they will have a few goods to trade. Like a regular trader they will mill about the player's colony for a while. Unlike a regular trader, they don't have many goods with them, nor do they have as much silver to buy your goods. Visitors possess no higher purpose otherwise, but will fight mutual enemies.

Sometimes there will be a singular visitor. In this case, the game will notify you of the backstory of that visitor.

==== Royal Tribute Collector ====
{{Royalty|section=1}}
{{Main|Royal tribute collector}}
If you are not hostile to the [[Empire]], Royal Tribute Collectors will visit the colony approximately twice a year. Tribute collectors are essentially Empire-only trade caravans that exclusively accept [[gold]] and [[prisoner]]s in exchange for [[Titles#Honor|Honor]].

==== Gauranlen pod sprout ====
{{Ideology|section=1}}
{{quote|A Gauranlen pod has sprouted nearby! Harvest it to collect a Gauranlen seed. This special seed can be used to plant the majestic [[Gauranlen tree]]. Your colonist can connect with Guaranlen trees and make them spawn resources and helpful dryads to work or fight for you.}}

A [[Gauranlen pod|pod]] will appear somewhere with the current map. Harvesting it yield 1-2 [[Gauranlen seed]]. This event occurs roughly every 60 [[time|days]] in every [[biome]] except Ice Sheets and Sea Ice, and this time is decreased to roughly every 30 days for [[Ideoligion#Tree connection|tree connectors]]. This event can also occur if an [[Ideoligion]]'s ritual result is set to trigger this event and performing the ritual receives a "Beautiful/Fun/Good/Unforgettable" quality.

==== Polux tree sprout ====
{{Biotech|section=1}}
A [[polux tree]] may appear whenever there is enough [[pollution]] around. It will consume and clean up said pollution, but will not do so if it or its roots are under a roof.

</div>

=== Bad ===
<div class="mw-customtoggle-RandomBad" style="display:inline-block;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.5);color:white;padding:10px;border-radius:5px;outline:none;user-select:none">Show Bad Random Events</div>
<div id="mw-customcollapsible-RandomBad" class="mw-collapsible">

==== Beavers! ====
A group of ravenous tree-munching [[alphabeaver]]s appears at the edge of the map. This only occurs in the [[arid shrubland]] and [[tundra]], and only when the outdoor [[temperature]] is above the alphabeaver's [[minimum comfortable temperature]] of {{Temperature|{{Q|Alphabeaver|Min Comfortable Temperature}} }}. It will not reoccur for 30 days.

Beavers will act like any other animal. But due to their unique diet and extreme hunger, beavers will continually eat [[trees]] and [[Saguaro cactus|Saguaro cacti]] they can reach, including [[anima tree]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}, [[gauranlen tree]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}, [[polux tree]]s{{BiotechIcon}} and any trees you're farming. Alphabeavers will not and cannot eat the {{Icon Small|wood}} [[wood]] item, [[wood]]en buildings, or any other item made out of wood.

The beavers will continue eating until there are no trees left, unless you eradicate them or they're driven off the map by temperature.

==== Birthday ====
Character gains an age-related illness, such as [[bad back]] or [[cataract]]s. They may be cured by using the [[healer mech serum]], [[luciferium]], a [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, or the Scarless [[gene]]{{BiotechIcon}}. Some may be 'cured' by replacing the affected parts with bionics.

Due to age or a pre-existing health condition, they can also have a [[heart attack]].
{{Clear}}

==== Blight ====
{{main|Blight}}
[[File:Crop blight.png|200px|thumb|right|Blighted crops with an indicator above them.]]

Blight is a disease that infects [[domesticated plants]] with a growing period shorter than 15 days. Blighted crops will not grow or yield anything when harvested, and the blight will spread to other nearby plants within 3 tiles. These plants must be cut in order to avoid further spread. [[Tree]]s, [[Wild Plants|wild]], [[Decorative Plants|decorative]] plants, and [[devilstrand mushroom]]s are immune to blight.

Blight starts on one of your crops, at 10% severity, affecting 20% of your plants (40% initial plants affected has been witnessed in December 2020). It will progress slowly once plants are infected, and once it reaches 28% it can spread to nearby plants within a 4-tile radius.

It will not reoccur for 30 days.

==== Disease ====
Colonists (including [[prisoner]]s and [[slave]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}) or animals will gain a random [[disease]]. [[Biome]] influences both the amount of disease and its selection. Multiple pawns can get a disease at once, but diseases never spread between pawns. Disease events are controlled separately from other events by your [[storyteller]].

[[Traits#Sickly|Sickly]] pawns will get sick with a MTB of 30 days, independently of the rest of your colonists.

==== Eclipse ====
A moon has moved in front of the sun, causing an eclipse. Without [[light]], [[solar generator]]s won't function, and outdoor crops stop growing. It lasts between 0.75 and 1.25 days.

If reliant on solar power, make sure to have [[battery|batteries]] for times like these, or an eclipse raid can be extra threatening.

Pawns with the [[Ideoligion#Eclipse|Eclipse: Beautiful]] precept{{IdeologyIcon}} will receive a {{+|5}} moodlet for seeing an eclipse.

It will not reoccur for 15 days

==== Heat wave ====
{{stub|section=1|reason=Needs details. What's the chance for a fire to occur?}}
A heat wave sweeps the colony, driving outdoor [[temperature]]s unusually high for 1.5 and 3.5 days. To be precise, the temperature will increase by {{Temperature|17}} over 12000 game ticks (4.8 in-game hours). There is also a chance for a [[fire]] to randomly appear on the map, which can quickly spread. It only occurs when the map's summer temperature is at least {{Temperature|20}}, and will not reoccur for 30 days.

The major risks are [[cooler]]s failing to freeze food, and [[heat stroke]] to your colonists and animals. Summer clothing like [[cowboy hat]]s and [[tribalwear]] can mitigate the heat, and [[passive cooler]]s can help make indoor temperatures bearable.

Do note that an while this event remains active, the colony will not trigger the events Cold Snaps, Volcanic Winter, nor additional Heat Waves. The one exception are events triggered by quest, which will apply regardless.

==== Cold snap ====
A cold snap strikes the colony, driving outdoor [[temperature]] unusually low for 1.5 and 3.5 days. To be precise, the temperature decreases by {{Temperature|20}} over 12000 game ticks (4.8 in-game hours). It only occurs when the map's summer temperature is in the range of {{Temperature|0|15}}, and will not reoccur for 30 days. Colonists will complain about the cold, especially sleeping in it if their rooms are not properly heated.

While this is generally good for item preservation, it can kill off crops, influence colonist moods and cause [[Ailments#Hypothermia|hypothermia]] if colonists or animals stay in non-heated areas for a prolonged time. It also renders most of the plants in the area inedible (unless when it happens in warmer areas in which some plants are still edible), potentially causing tame animals to starve to death and wild ones to leave the map. With no other food source, wild predators may attack colonists and tame animals while they are outdoors. Snowing may also happen, depositing thick snow that can slow down outdoor movement significantly.

[[Jacket]]s, [[duster]]s, [[parka]]s and [[tuque]]s provide cold insulation for colonists, protecting them while they're awake, though they don't prevent mood loss caused by sleeping in cold areas.

Do note that an while this event remains active, the colony will not trigger the events Heat Waves, Volcanic Winter, nor additional Cold Snaps. The one exception are events triggered by quest, which will apply regardless.

==== Mad animal ====
A single random animal on the map turns [[manhunter]], like a psychic wave. The insane animal will charge toward the nearest human anywhere on the map, attacking any other animal or obstacle (doors, fences, barricades, etc.) blocking its way. If the "nearest" colonist changes, the animal may change its focus to that target.

Any animal can be dangerous to a colonist, but multiple colonists can usually take them out. Large animals, as well as the explosive [[boomalope]] and [[boomrat]], are bigger threats.

==== Psychic drone ====
{{For|the moodlet|Mood#Exotic}}
'Drone' in this case does not refer to "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle" but instead "To produce a low-pitched hum or buzz." A psychic drone affects all colonists of a randomly chosen gender, giving a [[Mood#Exotic|strong negative moodlet]]. The drone can vary in severity, from low (-12 mood) to extreme (-40 mood). [[Psychic Sensitivity]] will multiply the effect on the drone. It lasts between 0.75 and 1.75 days and will not reoccur for 15 days.

Colonists have no choice but to endure it, as the point of origin is off-map. [[Psychic foil helmet]]s, [[drug]]s, and other mood-enhancers can help deal with the effects. Animals are not affected.

==== Solar flare ====
Solar flares cause all electrical devices to stop working for its duration, from 0.15 to 0.5 days. [[Wood-fired generator]]s and [[chemfuel generator]]s will still burn fuel during this time.

* Colonies that rely on turrets for defense will become vulnerable to raids.
* Heaters and coolers will stop working. In extreme temperatures, crops will die and colonists can be at risk of heatstroke or hypothermia. [[Campfire]]s and [[passive cooler]]s are low-tech options that work even in a solar flare.
* Crops in a [[hydroponics basin]] will rapidly degrade, regardless of the temperature. It's recommended to quickly harvest any crops that can't be saved before they die.
* Occasionally an [[Trade#Orbital|orbital trade ship]] may arrive during the event, so it is wise to check out the Comms Console as soon as the event ends or risk getting the ''''<trader> has left comms range"'' notification while unaware of their presence. If a ship leaves ''during'' a solar flare, you ''will'' be notified that the trader has left, although this is only a minor message in the upper right of the screen.
* The colony is immune to the effects of a solar flare while also undergoing [[unnatural darkness]]{{AnomalyIcon}}

Due to its length, most of the adverse effects are manageable.

==== Zzztt ====
This event can occur anytime a [[power conduit]] has energy flowing through it. The conduit may suffer a fault, causing a short circuit. They may also occur if certain objects are left unroofed and are exposed to [[weather|rain or snow]]. Short-circuits not caused by rain/snow will not reoccur for 8 days. Short circuits do not affect [[Hidden_conduit|hidden conduits]], meaning zzztts can be avoided entirely by simply having all applicable buildings under roofs and having a network made entirely of hidden conduits.

The following buildings short circuit due to weather:
<div style="column-count:3; width:700px;">
* [[Sun lamp]]
* [[Tube television]]
* [[Flatscreen television]]
* [[Megascreen television]]
* [[Comms console]]
* [[Multi-analyzer]]
* [[Vitals monitor]]
* [[Battery]]
* [[Electric tailor bench]]
* [[Electric smithy]]
* [[Machining table]]
* [[Electric stove]]
* [[Electric smelter]]
* [[Biofuel refinery]]
* [[Fabrication bench]]
* [[Hi-tech research bench]]
* [[Electric crematorium]]
* [[Heater]]
* [[Lightball]]{{IdeologyIcon}}
* [[Loudspeaker]]{{IdeologyIcon}}
* [[Autobong]]{{IdeologyIcon}}
</div>

Short circuits will either result in a [[fire]], or, if any [[battery|batteries]] are connected to the circuit and contains at least 20Wd, a fiery explosion centered on the tile, that increases with energy stored. The explosion deals 10 [[Damage Types#Flame|Flame damage]] and setting objects on fire. If the explosion radius is greater than 3.5 tiles, a second explosion of 30% radius deals 50 [[Damage Types#Bomb|Bomb damage]], which can extinguish fires. The fault will also discharge all stored power in batteries in the process.

The explosion radius is controlled by the following equation:

{| class="wikitable"
| '''Explosion Radius''' = '''clamp'''( '''sqrt'''(Sum of all stored power) * 0.05, 1.5, 14.9)
|}

Or in other words, the radius will be at least 1.5 tiles, and at most 14.9 tiles, with a bomb explosion of 4.5 tiles. This occurs when a total of 90,000 Wd is stored. Bomb explosions can occur beyond once 4,900 Wd are stored.

}}
|}
Unconnected batteries, such as through an open switch or on separate power network, will not be affected. Power networks which contain only [[Battery|batteries]] and no conduits will not experience this event. Power networks which contain only conduits will only have a single tile on fire, as there's no stored power to be discharged.

==== Transport pod crash (Ghoul) ====
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
A transport pod may crash with a [[ghoul]] instead of the regular occupant, and will always appear as unaffiliated. They will always appear as hostile and will initially be in shock, but if left ignored, will immediately attempt to attack anything or anyone nearby after a while.

==== Gray pall ====
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
A fog of eerie, gritty dust settles on the map. Colonists standing in an unroofed area will receive a {{bad|-6}} '''gray pall exposure''' moodlet, while colonists under a roof will have {{bad|-3}} '''gray pall'''. The pall is otherwise not dangerous and disappears after 1-2 days.

<div id="mw-customcollapsible-WorldEvents" class="mw-collapsible">

==== Attack begun ====
This notification will appear when a [[caravan]] has arrived at a settlement chosen for attacking.

==== Bandit camp opportunity ====
{{See also|Offense tactics}}

Some ruffians are causing trouble nearby and other factions will pay you to wipe them out.

The bandit camp will time out and are weaker than regular enemy bases.

Destroying them increases goodwill by 8 and returns a payment worth 2000 to 3000 worth of silver, whether it consists of items or silver itself.

==== Caravan ambushed / (manhunters) ====
While traveling, one of your [[caravan]]s are attacked. The game will give you a mini map to defend it.

The attackers can be an enemy faction lying in ambush or a rampaging manhunter pack your caravan unfortunately trespasses upon.

===== Caravan battle won =====
This event will tell you if your people won their fight, and can reform the caravan on the world map.

==== Caravan arrived at (Location) ====
This is a simple notification that your caravan has arrived at their destination.

==== Caravan lost ====
[[File:Caravan destroyed.png|thumb|right|400px]]
All human members of your caravan have died, or have been downed on an event map. Anything carried by the caravan, including animals, will be lost to the wild.

If colonists were downed but not killed while fighting human enemies, it is possible for some of them to appear later in a Prisoner Rescue Quest.
{{Clear}}

==== Caravan meeting by (Caravan ID) ====
This is a pop up window rather than an event with envelope icon. While away from your bases, your caravans may randomly encounter other traders out in the world who would be happy to trade with you. Of course, you also have the option to attack them. Be careful, trade caravans are usually well defended.

==== Caravan ready ====
Once you've designated a [[caravan]], you'll get this notification once all of the colonists, prisoners, animals and items have been assembled and left the map. It is now ready to send to other settlements or form another settlement of your own, if you've enabled multiple settlements in the game's settings.

==== Demand ====
A hostile faction approaches your caravan and demand that you give them items and/or hand over members as slaves. If you refuse, they will proceed to assault the caravan.

You can see their number when they are demanding you hand over items.

==== Peace talks ====
[[File:Peace talks.png|thumb|right|300px]]

A hostile faction leader decides to drop his weapons and offers to talk things out for once. The offer expires after 15 days if ignored. Pirates will never attempt peace talks.

To participate, you will need to send a [[caravan]] with a capable negotiator. Once the destination is reached, the most capable negotiator in your caravan will proceed to talk with the leader to hopefully improve relations.

There are several outcomes of the incident, each being a sub-event of its own. No matter the outcome, your negotiator will always gain social skill.

In addition, the angered faction sends a group of attackers after your negotiating party. || 0.05
|}

===== Outcome chances =====
The actual outcome chances are dependent on the negotiator's Diplomacy Power stat, after going through a simple curve. To do this, the game calculates the bad outcome factor, of the negotiator first.

* At 0% power, the bad outcome factor is 4.
* At 100% power (healthy, lvl 10 Social), the bad outcome factor is 1.
* At 150% power (healthy, lvl 20 Social), the bad outcome factor is 0.4.

The new weight of each outcome is calculated afterwards.

* Triumph = 0.1 * ( 1 / Bad Outcome Factor)
* Success = 0.55 * ( 1 / Bad Outcome Factor)
* Flounder = 0.2
* Backfire = 0.1 * Bad Outcome Factor
* Disaster = 0.05 * Bad Outcome Factor
The sum total of the new weights is then calculated.

Finally, the probability of each outcome is calculated:

{{Math|big=0|Probability of each outcome {{=}} New Weight ÷ Sum Total of Weights}}

Take a level 15 Social negotiator as an example:

# The diplomacy power is 125%, corresponding to a bad outcome factor of 0.7.
# The new weight of each outcome, to 3 d.p.:
#* Triumph = 0.1 * ( 1 / 0.7) = 0.143
#* Success = 0.55 * ( 1 / 0.7) = 0.786
#* Flounder = 0.2
#* Backfire = 0.1 * 0.7 = 0.07
#* Disaster = 0.05 * 0.7 = 0.035
# The sum total of new weights is calculated:
#* 0.143 + 0.786 + 0.2 + 0.07 + 0.035 = 1.234
# Finally, the probability of each event, to 2 d.p.:
#* Triumph = 0.143 / 1.234 = 11.58%
#* Success = 0.786 / 1.234 = 63.69%
#* Flounder = 0.2 / 1.234 = 16.21%
#* Backfire = 0.07 / 1.234 = 5.67%
#* Disaster = 0.035 / 1.234 = 2.84%

==== Rescuee joins ====
Should you succeed in rescuing a prisoner or you offer help to an incapacitated refugee, he or she will immediately join your faction.

=== Sub-events ===
These aren't quest events on its own, but may happen during other world events such as Incapacitated Refugee or Item Stash Opportunity.

==== Ambush ====
[[File:Incapacitated refugee Ambushed.png|thumb|right|400px]]
Enemies may enter the minimap a little while after your colonists arrive or suddenly appear near the objective when your pawns draw close to it. It's even possible for animals to lie in wait.
{{Clear}}

==== Sleeping mechanoids ====
When the map generates, sleeping mechanoids will be present near the objective. Going too close to them will awaken them, making them attack. While they are present, you cannot manually reform the caravan as the game notifies you that there are hostiles in the area, but you can still leave through the edges.
</div>

== Game endings ==
When these happen, they signify that your game has ended, one way or another.
<span class="mw-Gameend_toggle" style="font-size:small; display:inline-block; float:right;"> </span>
<div id="mw-Gameend_collapsible" class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Reveal" data-collapsetext="Hide">

==== Game over ====
[[File:Game over.png|400px|thumb|right|Welp, time to start a new game I guess...]]
This happens when all your colonists are either dead, missing, or left the planet. The game will show a Letter which says that [[Endings#Colony_End|everyone is gone or dead]], and allows you to return to the main menu. You can continue playing, and someone may find a use for the wreckage of your base.

Should you decide to continue playing, events will continue to happen, which can affect the ruined base but not anyone. You can strike lucky and roll 'Wanderer joins' or 'Refugee chased' events, giving you a colonist to rebuild from.

Post 1.4, the game over letter has been updated with the option to generate multiple new colonists as a whole group. This event is referred to in the [[Scenario_system|scenario editor]] as the Wanderer'''s''' <small>(plural)</small> Join incident, although it always occurs, only manually. This works just the same as the beginning colonist selection, including specifying age range and xenotypes and sharing your original ideology.
{{Clear}}

==== Planetkiller ====
[[File:Game over planetkiller.png|400px|thumb|right|Ouch.]]
"''An interstellar planetkiller weapon is approaching this planet. It will smash the planet apart like a rifle bullet hitting an egg, annihilating all life.''"

This event can only happen by configuring the starting scenario.

When it happens, the screen will fade to white, and a message will show that the planet is obliterated by a planetkiller and that you did not survive.

Unlike your regular 'Game Over', you cannot continue the game. Saved games (including permadeath) can be continued from their last saves, however.
{{Clear}}

==== Ending - The Archonexus Core ====
For specifics, see [[Endings#The_Archonexus]].

Once it happens, your colony is succesfully noticed by an archotech. What happens next is left to especulation.

Similar to the Planetkiller and unlike other endings, you cannot continue the game once reaching this ending. Saved games (including permadeath) can be continued from their last saves, however.
</div>

== Legacy events ==
Events from previous versions of RimWorld, now removed.
<span class="mw-Legacy_toggle" style="font-size:small; display:inline-block; float:right;"> </span>

=== Bonded animal's death ===
[[File:Bonded animals death.png|300px|thumb|right|Bonded animal dies affecting the owner's mood.]]
Both of these bonded death events were simplified into the [[Events/Incidental#Death|Death: (Pawn)]] event.

An animal with a bond to a colonist dies, affecting that colonist's mood negatively. Enemies may directly target your animals during attacks. Enemies, turrets or even your own colonists can even hit them unintentionally during shootouts, especially animals trained for Release and checked to follow your drafted colonists in the Animals tab. Wild predators may hunt and kill your animals, including bonded ones. Bonded animals can also fall into traps. It can even occur intentionally by slaughtering, euthanizing or manually drafting and attacking the bonded animal.
{{Clear}}

=== Bonded master's death ===
Both of these bonded death events were simplified into the [[Events/Incidental#Death|Death: (Pawn)]] event.

The inverse of a bonded animal's death. This time, it's the master who dies, through causes such as enemy raids, disease or large wild predators getting hungry.

When this happens, any animal that is bonded to the master will have a mental break. It can be a less dangerous one such as a dazed wander, or a more dangerous one such as a berserk rage.

This is one of the only situations where animals can have non-manhunter mental breaks.

=== Breakdown: (Machine) ===
In previous versions, this was its own event. Now it's just a notification.

One of your machines will break down and will not work until repaired with a [[component]]. If this happens to a [[hydroponics basin]], any crops in it will wither and die unless repaired immediately.

This only applies to machines using electricity.

=== Tornado ===
A tornado has touched down in this region, and will proceed to wreak havoc on anything in its way. There is small chance it may spawn at the map borders and eventually [[:File:The tornado has left the map.png|leave the map]].

Tornadoes rapidly deal damage to any structure or item that is right beneath it. Any pawn underneath will rapidly receive scratches from the random objects blowing about in the wind.

Naturally forming tornadoes are exclusive to Beta 18. You can still use the [[Tornado generator]] to spawn them in for defense purposes.
</div>

== Event data ==
Note: events that give colonists, such as wanderers or transport pod crashes, are affected by the [[storyteller]]'s population intent factor. They become more common if you have few colonists, and rare if you have many.

Starei: /* Removed genes */

{{Biotech}}
{{See also|altphrase=This page is a list of genes. For a full explanation of the gene system see|Genetics}}
'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilities to [[human]] pawns. They can be obtained from character creation or implanted via [[xenogerm]].

Metabolic efficiency, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, controls the rate at which pawns get [[Saturation|hungry]]. Harmful genes will increase their metabolic efficiency, getting hungry slower, and thus consuming less food overall. Meanwhile helpful genes reduce metabolic efficiency, getting hungry faster, and thus consuming more food. A baseline human has a metabolic efficiency of 0 (100% hunger rate), and genes can bring it as low as -5 (225% hunger rate) or up to 5 (50% hunger rate). The game prevents you from giving pawns less than -5 metabolic efficiency; it doesn't stop you from exceeding 5, but hunger rate will not go below 50%.

Note that genes with over [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] 5 cannot be extracted by themselves, and must be extracted in a pack with another gene that lowers metabolism cost.

Complexity, denoted by the [[File:Complexity.png|20px|Complexity]] symbol, affects how many [[gene processor]]s you need to create a [[xenogerm]] from a set of genes. A [[gene assembler]] can create xenogerms with a maximum complexity of 6, plus 2 for every attached gene processor. Complexity also determines the base time it takes to create the xenogerm, ranging from 4 hours at ≤3 complexity, to 23 hours at ≥20 complexity (which is then scaled by the [[research speed]] of whoever operates the gene assembler).{{Check Tag|Detail needed|Specific math}}

The type of gene is shown both by its position in the gene tab of the pawn and its background:
* [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|32px]] Germline Genes
* [[File:GeneBackground_Xenogene.png|32px]] Xenogenes
* [[File:GeneBackground ArchiteGene.png|32px]] Archite genes

*Does not affect non-bleeding wounds.

| Carriers of this gene feel more pain than others given the same injuries. Neuron activity in the brain's nociception center is amplified, so pain feels extra-intense and fiery. This can be protective, but overall it's considered a negative and makes it hard to push through difficult situations.

=== Body type ===
Since people without these genes can have any of the four body types, these genes effectively limit what body types a xenotype can have. For example, [[File:Neanderthal.png|20px|link=Neanderthals]][[Neanderthals]] cannot be thin, because they have all three of the other genes.

=== Melanin ===

These natural skin colors are '''not available in the xenotype editor and cannot be extracted'''. Every person gets one of these as a germline gene unless they already have a skin-color germline gene (e.g. [[File:Dirtmole.png|20px|link=Dirtmoles]][[Dirtmoles]] have light gray skin instead of these).

These genes are defined in Core, not Biotech. They are all named "Skin color" in-game.

=== Skin ===
These exotic (non-natural) skin colors do not appear on anyone without the gene. Like body type genes and hair genes, a person can have more than one skin color gene (e.g. [[File:Impid.png|20px|link=Impids]][[Impids]] have three), and one will be chosen.

All of these genes have a "random brightness factor" of 0.18 unless otherwise specified.

| Carriers have a reserve of unique resurrector archites which can infuse a corpse, rebuild degenerated tissue and kickstart the vital processes. This brings the dead back to life - though possibly with health issues. This can only be done very rarely, and comes at a steep hemogen cost.

:''Use archites in the bloodstream to infuse a corpse's body with new life, repairing degenerated cell structures and kickstarting vital functions. The older and worse-preserved the corpse is, the more likely it is that they will come back with memory loss or health conditions.

== Notes ==
* Certain genes will not be properly negated by other genes. For example, a drug dependency germline gene, while appearing to be negated by the same drug dependency as a xenogene, will instead cause the negative mood from the lack of the drug to start at 2.5 days instead of at 5 days.

== Version history ==
* [[Biotech DLC]] Release - Added.
* [[Version/1.4.3524|1.4.3524]] - Children no longer get adult body types from genes.

** [[#Psychic bonding|Psychic bond]] now gives +10% [[psychic sensitivity]], or +5% if on different maps. Hediff description changed from ''This person has a psychic bond with another person based on the psychic bonding gene.'' to ''This person has a psychic bond with another person based on the psychic bonding gene. The bond itself grants some limited psychic awareness, allowing it to connect even with the psychically deaf''. Bonds can now be created during lovin' allowing pawns already in a relationship when the gene was implanted to bond.
**Many genes now give direct boosts instead of forcing traits, which allows genes and traits to stack:
*** '''Depressive''' gene renamed to [[#Very unhappy|Very unhappy]], no longer forces [[Depressive]] trait instead decreases mood by {{--|10}}.

** '''<Drug> addict-resist''' genes renamed to [[#Alcohol resistant|<Drug> resistant]], Addiction-resistant genes for alcohol, smokeleaf and psychite provide a 50% reduction in tolerance buildup. Addiction-resistant genes for psychite, wake-up and go juice have a 50% multiplier on overdose chance. Smokeleaf and Alcohol resistant metabolism cost reduced from {{--|2}} to {{--|1}}.
** '''<Drug> addict-immune''' genes renamed to [[#Alcohol impervious|<Drug> impervious]]. Addiction-immune genes for psychite, wake-up and go juice grants immunity to overdoses from the drug. Addiction-immune genes for alcohol, smokeleaf and psychite provides a 100% reduction in tolerance buildup. Smokeleaf and Alcohol impervious metabolism cost reduced from {{--|5}} to {{--|3}}.
**[[#Smokeleaf dependency|Smokeleaf]] and [[#Alcohol dependency|Alcohol dependency]] metabolism gain reduced from {{+|4}} to {{+|3}}.

** When a [[#Deathless|deathless]] pawn takes damage that would have been lethal and falls into a deathrest coma instead, as an additional consequence they lose 3-6% of XP in a random skill. This should make non-death less trivial for these characters and preserve the sense of risk and danger. We’ll tuned this ongoing as needed.
** Fix: Bloodfeed can be used on pawns in mental states.

** Clarify that pawns with no xenogenes cannot implant their xenogerm into another person. Show correct warning message on attempt.
** Fix: Pawns with genetic drug needs aren't getting mothballed. Can improve performance in late-game saves.
** Fix: Chemical genes affect tolerance buildup and addiction chance of all chemicals, not just the specified one.
** Fix: On colonist selection, wasters and hussars are currently generating without their drug dependencies.
** Fix: Small increments of pawn speed differences are lost due to integer calculations. Very quick and quick genes were effectively the same on an otherwise unmodified pawn.
** Fix: Drug dependency endogenes aren't properly being overridden by other drug-related xenogenes of the same chemical.
** Fix: Psychic bonds can form between two pawns that have the psychic bonding genes even if they are bonded to other people.

}}</noinclude>
<includeonly>:''Main Article: [[Pain]]''</includeonly>
Most biological creatures including [[colonist]]s, [[raider]]s, and [[animals]] feel pain caused by [[Injury|injuries]]. A pawn's pain level ranges from 0% to 100% and is displayed on their Health tab's Overview. Pain levels are None, Little, Moderate, Severe, and Extreme.{{Check Tag|Detail Needed|What percentage ranges do those names correlate to?}} Even a little pain causes unhappy [[Thoughts list|thoughts]]. Once pain passes 10%, it'll start to have an effect on [[consciousness]]. If a pawn's pain level meets or exceeds their [[Pain Shock Threshold]] they'll go into [[Injury#Shock|shock]], unable to move. Pawns with the [[Wimp]] trait will be incapacitated with only minor pain of 30%.

Most pain is temporary, but [[Injury#Scarring|scars]] and certain [[disease]]s can cause long-term pain. A [[painstopper]] implant or the [[Psycasts#Painblock|Painblock]] psycast {{RoyaltyIcon}} will get rid of all a colonist's pain and negate any pain-related mood penalties. Note that colonists with the [[Masochist]] trait or an ideoligion with the [[Ideoligion#Pain|Pain: Idealized]] precept{{IdeologyIcon}} get a mood ''bonus'' from pain instead of a penalty, so it's usually better to leave them alone.

Injuries to the [[Artificial body parts|artificial parts]] do not cause any pain, so colonists with a lot of bionics will generally incur less pain during combat.

=== Formula ===
Pain for a given pawn is the sum of the pain from each individual injury, with two extra steps at the end:
* <code>pain = pain / healthFactor</code> for pawns with a healthFactor other than 1.0 (like [[grizzly bear]]s and other large animals). Humans have a healthFactor of 1.0, so this doesn't impact humans
* <code>pain = pain * painFactor</code> from health conditions which alter pain. This includes pain-reducing drugs like [[flake]] and [[yayo]] as well as anesthetic used during operations

Pain from an individual injury is the product of the severity of the injury (the number of HP missing for things like cuts and burns) and the pain per severity for the injury type. For example:
*30 burn damage causes 30 damage × 0.01875 pain per severity = 56.25% pain
*30 cut damage causes 30 damage × 0.0125 pain per severity = 37.5% pain

For the complete table of pain vs damage, see [[Health Difficulties]]

=== Thresholds ===
Pain creates moodlets of different values at 4 stages depending on pain severity.

{| {{STDT|sortable c_10 text-center}}
! Level !! Required Pain % !! Mood Penalty<br>(Default) !! Mood Buff<br>([[Masochist]]) !! Mood Buff<br>([[Ideoligion#Pain|Pain:Idealized]]{{IdeologyIcon}})

|-
|}

A standard pawn will go down upon reaching mind-shattering pain.<br>
Pain inflicts a [[consciousness]] penalty that scales with the pain percentage after exceeding 10%. It conforms to the following equation:
<code>IF Pain[%] <= 10% THEN -0% ELSE -{(Pain-0.1)/2.25}[%]</code> For example, 15% pain is 0.15 - 0.1 = 0.05 / 2.25 = 0.02 or 2% consciousness loss.

=== Factors ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Many other hediffs cause pain or change pain factors. Also injury mechanics. Also how is PainFactor applied? Is it exactly the same as a post factor for other capacities? Math section on final calculation is needed.}}
==== Base factors ====
Factors cause the game code to MULTIPLY pain X a number. Small numbers reduce pain a lot. Large numbers reduce pain a little.

* [[Painstopper]]: '''×0%'''
* [[Painless]] persona trait {{RoyaltyIcon}}: '''×0%'''
* [[Go-juice]]:
** High: '''×10%'''
** Withdrawal: '''×300%'''
* [[Psycasts#Painblock|Painblock]] psycast: {{RoyaltyIcon}} '''×10%'''
* [[Yayo]]:
** High: '''×50%'''
* [[Luciferium]]:
** High: '''×80%'''
* [[Psychite tea]]:
** High: '''×90%'''
* [[Beer]]: (See also [[#Offsets|Offsets]])
** Warm: '''×90%'''
** Tipsy: '''×80%'''

** Blackout: '''×10%'''
* [[Genes#Psychic bonding|Psychic bond]]{{BiotechIcon}}:
** Psychic bond: '''×50%'''
* [[Reduced pain]]{{BiotechIcon}}: '''×50%'''

==== Offsets ====
Offsets cause the game code to ADD OR SUBTRACT a number from the pawn's pain. Small numbers are less effective at reducing pain than large numbers. However, if the pawn only has a small amount of pain, an equally small offset will be totally effective at removing all pain. Positive numbers add pain. Negative numbers reduce pain.

* [[Mindscrew]]: {{++|20%}}
* [[Sensory mechanites]]:
** Mild pain: {{++|20%}}
** Intense pain: {{++|60%}}
* [[Blood rot]]:

Starei: /* Obtaining */ Added some Empire stuff

{{Biotech}}
[[File:Sanguophage.png|frameless|right]]
{{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 ==
{{Quote|"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.<br/>
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}}

== 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.

=== Genes ===
Sanguophages have a gene complexity of 57[[File:Complexity.png|20px|Complexity|link=Complexity]] [[complexity]] and an equivalent xenogerm contains 8[[File:Archite_capsule_required.png|20px|Archite capsule|link=Archite capsule]] [[Archite capsule|archite capsules]]. With a '''0'''[[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolic efficiency|link=Metabolic efficiency]] [[metabolic efficiency]], they have a hunger rate of '''×100%'''. Note however that sanguophage genes can disable a pawn's native [[germline gene]]s (e.g. ''Fast Runner'' will negate a [[neanderthal]]'s ''Slow Runner''), which can change their metabolism.

All sanguophages have these xenogenes:

== Obtaining ==
{{stub|section=1|reason=More detail on the quests}}
Sanguophages can be found in several 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. They will start the ceremony by placing a [[blood torch]], which gives {{+|2}} mood buff to all sanguophages in its radius, and a red mist, with red eyes appearing in it, will appear for a few hours. The torch will remain once the quest is complete. One of the quest rewards will allow you to choose a pawn to be implanted with Sanguophage genes. There's also a small chance that some of those sanguophages will give you a join offer, similar to refugees.
* 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.
* [[Empire|Stellarchs]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} have a 25% chance of generating as a Sanguophage, separate from the [[xenotype]] set used by the empire itself. This means that there is the potential to order the high stellarch to implant their xenogerm into a colonist during the Royalty endgame quest.
**Knights/Dames, Praetors, Barons/Baronesses and Count/Countesses also have a 5% chance to generate as a Sanguophage, and Duke/Duchesses and Consuls have a 15% chance.

== Analysis ==
Becoming a sanguophage has a variety of pros and cons, that are generally worth the implantation.

Access to Low Sleep means that, even when considering deathrest, a sanguophage will have more hours of work every day. The archite genes provide eternal youth and health, and cure scars akin to [[luciferium]]. Fast walker and Robust are useful to just about any colonist. Finally, their hemogen abilities are all useful in their own way.

However, being a blood drinker does come with costs - a need for [[hemogen]] and a need for [[deathrest]]. While they are not deal-breakers, you should consider them whenever playing with a sanguophage. These are detailed below.

----
===Sanguophage needs===
*'''Hemogen'''
Sanguophages can store 100 hemogen, which can be increased by deathresting with attached [[hemopump]]s. A sanguophage consumes 10 of their stored hemogen per day, equivalent to a bloodfeed every 2 days. Hemogen reaching 0 is not fatal, but will inflict a gradually increasing penalty that eventually reaches {{Bad|x50%}} [[Consciousness]], {{++|15%}} [[pain]] and a {{--|20}} [[mood]]let. Hemogen is also required, and consumed by, the Longjump, Piercing spine, and Coagulate abilities.

As a rough measure, each regular human can meet {{#expr: (20/10) /(45/33.3)}} sanguophages' needs for blood indefinitely, assuming no hemogenic abilities are used. Extracting [[hemogen pack]]s and consuming them is exactly as efficient as blood feeding in terms of hemogen per prisoner per day. Packs require storage space and additional pawn work, but do not inflict a painful bite or a {{--|5}} moodlet, and extracting them slowly trains the [[medical]] skill. Note that the moodlet is avoided when feeding on [[masochist]]s or those with the [[Ideoligion#Bloodfeeders|Bloodfeeders: Revered]] precept.{{IdeologyIcon}}

[[Prisoner]]s are preferred as hemogen sources over colonists because the [[blood loss]] will reduce the ability to work for a short time. The mood impact of bloodfeeding is also less important on prisoners. You can give prisoners the [[Genes#Dead calm|Dead calm]] gene to make sure they don't escape while still remaining able to feed themselves from [[nutrient paste dispenser]]s or meals left in their prison. Alternatively, the [[Peg leg#Analysis|leg treatment]] will also prevent escapes and reduce their [[Market Value]], but they will need to be manually fed by colonists or [[paramedic]] mechanoids. You can also give them negative genes like [[Genes#Very unattractive|Very unattractive]] to reduce food upkeep.

*'''Deathrest'''
{{Main|Deathrest}}
Sanguophages need to [[deathrest]] once every ~30 days. This will last from 4 days (regular [[bed]]) to 2.5 days ([[deathrest casket]] + 2 [[deathrest accelerator]]s). During this time, the pawn will have their needs frozen. Lacking deathrest is like lacking hemogen - it isn't fatal, but comes with major Consciousness and mood penalties.

The main cost of deathrest is that your sanguophage might be stuck sleeping whenever a [[raid]] arrives. [[Cassandra Classic]] and [[Phoebe Chillax]] both have defined cooldowns between sets of raids, but [[Randy Random]] won't give you that mercy. They ''can'' wake up at will, but this results in the [[Deathrest#Summary|Interrupted deathrest]] hediff, reducing their stats for 5 days.

Note that deathrest comes with some benefit. You can connect with [[deathrest building]]s like the [[glucosoid pump]] to improve post-deathrest condition. [[Psycast]]ers{{RoyaltyIcon}} will appreciate using [[psychofluid pump]]s to improve their psychic abilities. However, deathrest building capacity is limited. It must be increased one at a time by the expensive and somewhat rare [[deathrest capacity serum]]. Further, unlike a [[Cryptosleep casket]], deathrest does not suspend [[Addiction]], and can be used to mitigate withdrawal symptoms.

*'''Miscellaneous'''
Sanguophages have Pyrophobia, which can cause Fleeing Fire [[mental break]] if near [[fire]]. This makes it more difficult when fighting fire-based enemies like the [[tesseron]] and [[diabolus]]. In addition, they are damaged more by fire. A [[firefoam pop pack]] can be handy. However, Sanguophages are not completely unable to deal with fire: when drafted, they will still beat out flames adjacent to the tile they are standing on. However, given their vulnerabiltiy to fire and the risk of the mental break leading them into danger, this should only be attempted in emergencies.

Sanguophages also have minor UV sensitivity, giving {{--|6}} [[mood]] and {{Bad|x90%}} move speed during the sunlight. Ultimately, this is a minor penalty, but one worth noting. A sanguophage is slightly slower than a base human in the day, but faster at night.

----

===Choosing a host===
Because each xenogerm implantation has a cooldown of 2 years, not all your colonists can become a sanguophage right away. There are 2 types of colonist that deserve special mention:

* Colonists with brain damage, or colonists with [[Ailments#Chronic|chronic conditions]] like [[frail]]. These conditions are cured by the Scarless gene, and would otherwise require [[luciferium]], [[healer mech serum]], or the [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}} to treat. In a similar vein, older colonists are vulnerable to disease and said chronic conditions. Being a sanguophage renders full immunity to disease and aging, and will retroactively cure any existing conditions over time.

* Colonists who would appreciate access to the various genes. Melee fighters will gain access to many good vampire genes, like Strong melee (skill), Strong melee damage, Robust, and Longjump, as well as all the Archite genes. Any colonist will appreciate the powers of Deathless and Scarless.

:Their pyrophobia will negate the [[Pyromaniac]] trait. Pawns with [[Transhumanist]] ideologies{{IdeologyIcon}} can also go without mandatory age reversals.

Remember that Sanguophage implantation replaces ''all'' xenogenes. Your [[genie]]s, [[hussar]]s, and [[highmates]] will lose all of their respective genes. Any [[xenogerm]]s you've implanted will be replaced completely. In addition, '''placing any xenogerm will erase all the Sanguophage genes'''. Don't give them Great Melee thinking it'll just improve your sanguophage's melee skill, it'll also remove their archite genes and need for blood.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/1.4.3531|1.4.3531]] - Fix: AI sanguophages can use longjump without any remaining hemogen.
* [[Version/1.4.3534|1.4.3534]] - Fix: Error on drafting pawn with hemogenic ability gene with no hemogen gene.

Mental break

Also needs Biotech mental breaks e.g. Fleeing fire.}}{{About|the mental conditions experienced by unhappy pawn|breaking objects|Max Hit Points}}
{{TOCright}}
A '''mental break''' is a pawn event that may occur when a pawns's '''mood''' drops below the '''mental break threshold'''. The pawn will then become uncontrollable and shirk work tasks for a short while, or even worse, they will attempt to sabotage the colony. A breaking colonist may be interrupted by arresting or downing them.

There are three levels of severity for mental break events: '''minor, major,''' and '''extreme'''. Each severity level has a different pool of possible events that may occur at different frequencies. Minor events include hiding in the pawn's room for a day, extreme events include murder.

Colonists, visitors, enemies, tamed, and wild animals all have types of mental breaks. Some breaks may be induced by the player in battle, via [[psycast]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} or weapons like the [[psychic shock lance]] or [[psychic insanity lance]].

== Mechanics ==
===Mood===
[[Mood]] is a visual indicator of how likely your pawn is to have a mental break. It is lowered by negative [[thoughts]] about the pawn's environment and raised by positive thoughts. Mood is found in the [[Needs]] tab of the pawn Inspect pane.

The three mental break severity levels directly correspond to the low mood levels '''Stressed, On edge,''' and '''About to break,''' respectively. Mental break events and frequencies are different for each mood level.

Pawn mood is related to the sum of all the thoughts a pawn has, so minor penalties can quickly add up to large effects on a pawn's stability. Some mental breaks are unavoidable in even the finest, happiest colonies, such as '''Fire Starting Sprees''' by pyromaniac pawns.

=== Thresholds ===
{{Main|Mental Break Threshold}}
A specific pawn's mental break thresholds are affected by various personality [[traits]]. Traits may directly raise or lower mental break threshold, such as [[Steadfast]] or [[Nervous]] respectively. Some traits add permanent negative thoughts, like [[Pessimist]], or conditional negative thoughts, like [[Night owl]]. Multiple traits have an additive effect, but the minor break threshold is capped between 1% and 50%.

The major break threshold is 4/7 of the minor break threshold, while the extreme break threshold is 1/4 of that (1/7 of the minor break threshold). The base mental break threshold stat is 35%, which yields the following:
* Minor break threshold: 35%
* Major break threshold: 20%
* Extreme break threshold: 5%

=== Severity ===
There are three severity levels of mental break events, each with their own possible events and frequencies.

* Below their base mental break threshold, they will have a minor break in a mean time of 10 days.
* Below their major break threshold, they will have a major break in a mean time of 3 days.
* Below their extreme mental break threshold, their mood is ~5% and "About to break." they will have an extreme break in a mean time of 0.7 days.

=== During ===
[[File:Colonist icon while Binging on Psychite.png|frame|left|108px|Colonist icon while breaking]]
While a colonist is experiencing a mental break, their name is displayed <span style="color:limegreen;">'''in green'''</span> in the colonist bar (at the top of the game screen), and you have no direct control over them. They may enter restricted areas, consume restricted food or drugs, attack allies, or destroy objects. [[Arrest]] the misbehaving pawn to interrupt their mischievous actions. The broken colonist has a [[Arrest Success Chance|chance]] based on the arresting pawn's stats to either go berserk, or come quietly and be escorted to the nearest available prison bed - immediately ending their mental breakdown. However, arrest will downgrade their status as a member of your colony to a prisoner. Releasing them will return them to the colony, but replaces the catharsis bonus with a 'was imprisoned' negative thought (-8).

Another more extreme way of ending a mental break is by attacking the offending pawn, such as by beating the pawn with [[Weapons#Melee weapons|blunt-damage melee weapons]] until they are incapacitated by pain, or by inflicting [[brain shock]]. This is the only way to stop a berserk pawn. However, direct violence causes the victim to have a negative opinion of the colonists who beat him up, and you risk killing the pawn if he is already injured. It is ineffective if the pawn feels reduced pain, like those with the [[Painstopper]] implant or high on [[Go-juice]].

The [[Psycasts#Word_of_serenity|Word of Serenity]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} psycast will instantly end any mental break by forcing the target into a 6 hour coma. The psyfocus cost depends on the level of the mental break the target is experiencing. This cannot be used on [[babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} or [[children]]{{BiotechIcon}}.

While having a break, at the top of the game screen, a colonist will be designated with a small "lightning bolt" icon over their image; yellow for non-aggressive breaks (such as food binge or daze), and red for aggressive ones (such as tantrum or berserk).

=== Aftermath ===
Once a pawn's mental break ends, they'll revert back to their usual schedule and work and may be drafted again. Their thoughts do not 'reset,' so negative thoughts may still be present. Pawns get the [[Thoughts#Catharsis|'catharsis']] thought, granting a +40 mood for the next 2.5 days. This will generally prevent a pawns from entering a spiral of mental breakdowns in all but the worst scenarios.

Colonists with the [[Traits#Tortured artist|Tortured Artist trait]] will have a constant mood debuff (-8) but also have a chance (50%) to receive a creative inspiration after a mental break ends. Note that this does not include the [[#Fleeing fire|Fleeing fire]] break.

Colonists may be considered '''guilty''' after particularly destructive breaks and may then be banished or executes with no consequences.

== Minor break ==

=== Food binge ===
[[File:FoodBinge.png|thumb|right|Food Binge]]

Causes the pawn to pig out on whatever food they can get their hands on.{{Check Tag|Details|Limits, preference, etc}}

This break can only occur when the map the pawn is currently on contains more than 10 human-edible nutrition in a [[stockpile zone]], however an already ongoing binge will not end if all the food is consumed or otherwise removed. Pawns with the [[Trait#Gourmand|Gourmand trait]] will experience this more often, being the only minor-level mental break they can experience, as well as randomly experiencing the break below 50% mood.{{Check Tag|Details}}

A binge will end as soon as the affected pawn goes to bed, or after a certain amount of time has passed.

=== Sad wander ===
[[File:SadWander.png|thumb|right|Sad Wander]]

Causes the pawn to wander around aimlessly, eventually recovering on their own. Like the [[Mental break#Psychotic wandering (Daze)|Psychotic wandering (Daze)]] event, but shorter.

Wandering colonists can be [[prisoners|arrested]], which can be useful if they are in imminent danger.

=== Hide in room ===
[[File:HideInRoom.png|thumb|right|Hide in Room]]

Causes the pawn to wander about in their room, refusing to come out or satisfy their needs.

This break can only occur if the breaking pawn has a bedroom assigned to them.

This break is relatively short, and usually does not put the pawn in harm's way. At worst, the pawn may suffer from mild starvation or exhaustion.

{{clear}}

=== Insulting spree ===
Causes the pawn insult nearby colonists at random, making moods worse for everyone affected.

Insults can lead to a social fight, which would then lead to the end of the break.

Requires at least two other pathable colonists to occur.

=== Targeted insulting spree ===
Causes the pawn to follow and repeatedly insult one other colonist in particular.

This can totally ruin the victim's mood with an up to {{Bad|-33}} mood penalty through 10 stacked insults, which can potentially trigger a mental break in the victim as well.

Insults can lead to a social fight, which would then lead to the end of the break.

=== Crying ===
{{Biotech|No category}}
Babies may randomly cry while awake, being more likely to occur under 50% mood. This mental break is '''silent''' and can only be seen if the name is temporarily changed to green, emitting a random crying surrounding around itself.

Colonist near the baby will experience a negative mood effect "Baby crying" {{Bad|-4}} unless they are a "Psychopath". Any pawn's opinion of the crying baby will drop by {{Bad|-12}}.

=== Giggling ===
{{Biotech|No category}}
Babies may randomly giggle while awake, being more likely to occur over 50% mood. This mental break is '''silent''' and can only be seen if the name is temporarily changed to green, emitting a rainbow of colorful drawing around itself.

Colonist near the baby will experience a positive mood effect "Baby giggling" {{Good|+4}} unless they are a "Psychopath". Any pawn's opinion of the giggling baby will increase by {{Good|+12}}.

=== Dark visions ===
{{Anomaly|No category}}
Causes the pawn to mindlessly wander around, spouting utter nonsense about things that only they can see every 20-60 seconds. This can cause a negative mood effect of {{Bad|-2}} in nearby colonists, which can stack up to four times.

Upon recovery, the colonist will gain a {{Good|+30}} "Void catharsis" thought in place of the regular {{Good|+40}} that other mental breaks have.

==Major break==

===Social drug binge===
{{See also|Mental break#Hard drug binge{{!}}Hard drug binge}}
[[File:SocialBinge.png|thumb|right|Social Drug Binge]]

Causes the pawn to drink or smoke their problems away by binging on [[social drugs]] (i.e. [[ambrosia]], [[beer]], [[smokeleaf joint]]s, [[psychite tea]]).

This can only happen if you have social drugs present in your colony.

:'''Mean time between Recovery:''' 0.133 days <br>

===Psychotic wandering (Daze)===
[[File:Daze.png|thumb|right|Daze]]

Causes the pawn to wander around aimlessly, eventually recovering on their own. The letter informing you of this break refers to it as a "Daze."

Affected colonists can ignore [[Menus#Food_restriction|food restrictions]]. This can push the colony to collapse, especially with few colonists and without enough automation.

Dazed colonists can be [[prisoners|arrested]], which can be useful if they are in imminent danger.

Unlike sad wandering, [[prisoners]] can stage prison breaks whilst in this mental state. They will still wander around aimlessly, but will be able to open doors. They may still attack colonists if caught in melee.

{{clear}}

[[File:Daze.png|thumb|right|Daze]]

===Psychotic wandering (Daze) Short===
Identical to the above, but with a shorter minimum time. Combined with the above break, this effectively doubles the chance of getting a "Psychotic Wandering" break.

:'''Mean time between Recovery:''' 0.166 days <br>
:'''Minimum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|2500}} <br>
:'''Maximum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|90000}} <br>

{{clear}}

=== Tantrum ===
Causes the pawn to take out their anger on the structures in the colony, randomly punching at (and possibly destroying) them. The attacks may create [[Filth#Building_rubble|building rubble]] in the process.

:'''Mean time between Recovery:''' 0.033 days <br>
:'''Minimum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|8000}} <br>
:'''Maximum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|12000}} <br>
:'''Commonality:''' 0.333
{{clear}}

=== Targeted tantrum ===
Causes the pawn to take out their anger on a single structure or stack of items, punching at them until eventually destroyed. The tantrum will redirect to another structure or stack of items if that structure or stack of items is destroyed or made inaccessible.

Targeted tantrums are significantly more dangerous than the non-targeted variety, as the pawn has a much higher chance of actually destroying things instead of simply damaging them. They are especially dangerous when the pawn targets mortar shells (beware the [[antigrain warhead]]), which explode upon destruction, or if they attack important stacks such as stacks of components or medicine that the colony relies upon.

=== Corpse obsession ===
[[File:Corpse obsession.png|thumb|right|Corpse obsession]]
Causes the pawn to go to a grave or sarcophagus, dig up a corpse and drop it on a high-traffic spot, such as a table in a dining room. The obsession will then end.

This break can only occur if you have a filled grave or sarcophagus. The pawn is required to be capable of [[manipulation]].

While this break is somewhat quick, it can potentially bring "Observed corpse" mood debuffs to whoever sees the corpse, and can trigger a colony-wide "Colonist left unburied" mood debuff if the corpse was of a colonist.

:'''Mean time between Recovery:''' 0.166 days <br>

{{clear}}

=== Insane ramblings ===
{{Anomaly|No category}}
Causes the pawn to mindlessly wander around and spout utter nonsense every 10-15 seconds. Essentially a major variation of the dark visions break.

Much like dark visions, nearby colonists will experience negative thoughts, and the rambling pawn will gain a {{Good|+30}} thought upon recovery.

=== Humanity break ===
{{Anomaly|No category}}
{{Ideology|No category}}
Occurs in place of any mood-related mental break in colonists following an [[Ideoligion]] with the 'Inhumanizing: Required' precept. The pawn will wander around for some time and after recovery, will receive a permanent hediff that prevents them from experiencing the break instead, among other things. They will gain a permanent {{Good|+8}} thought in place of the standard catharsis thought.
:'''Mean time between Recovery:''' 0.166 days <br>

==Extreme break==

===Berserk===
[[File:BerserkScreenshot.png|thumb|right|Berserk]]
The pawn will lose total control, melee attacking any living creature near them. They will not intentionally kill anything, although unlucky hits may still result in death, instead redirecting to another target once their current target is downed.

Pawns that are [[Work#Incapable_of_work_types|incapable of violent]] can still go berserk. Berserk colonists are able to use doors that are forbidden, and don't close doors behind them (auto-doors included). Berserk prisoners will bash at doors until they break.

Subduing the berserk pawn with bare fists or a blunt weapon poses the least risk of killing them. Once a berserk pawn is subdued, the break is over. They do not need to be arrested, and can be immediately rescued to recover from their injuries. If the berserker is not in danger and can be safely avoided, it can be best to leave them to rampage by themselves until their berserk rage wears off to avoid injuries.

=== Fire starting spree ===
[[File:Fire Starting Spree.png|thumb|right|Fire Starting Spree]]

Causes the pawn to go on a fire starting spree, targeting flammable materials and setting them ablaze.

Pawns with the [[traits#Pyromaniac|pyromaniac trait]] will occasionally suffer this mental break regardless of mood (though it will happen less frequently as mood increases). As of Beta 18, pyromaniacs no longer gain the Catharsis thought after fire starting sprees.

Fire-starting sprees are very short and can easily be dealt with by having somebody else "babysit" the pyromaniac, putting out fires as the pyromaniac pawn starts them. However, it is worthwhile to consider that they may also target volatile objects such as [[chemfuel]].

=== Hard drug binge ===
{{See also|Mental break#Social drug binge{{!}}Social drug binge}}
[[File:HardBinge.png|thumb|right|Hard Drug Binge]]

Causes the pawn to binge on [[hard drugs]] (i.e. [[flake]], [[yayo]], [[go-juice]] and [[wake-up]]).

Hard drug binges are considerably more dangerous for the affected colonist's health than social drug binges, as hard drugs contribute towards [[overdose]]s which are potentially lethal, and can easily lead to an addiction and/or chemical damage. As with social binges, hard binges will either end when the affected colonist goes to bed, or after a certain amount of time has passed. Colonists taking [[penoxycyline]] and [[luciferium]] have nothing to do with the drug binge they are on.

===Catatonic breakdown===
Causes the pawn to enter a ''catatonic breakdown'' state, where they become incapacitated and need to be rescued.

This is one of the least immediately harmful of the extreme breaks as it does not result in injury or damage to colonists or structures. However, the affected colonist will be down for quite a long time, and unable to perform any work. This can be especially detrimental if the colonist performs a vital task in the colony.

Since catatonic breakdown is technically a health condition, usage of the [[healer mech serum]] can instantly bring the affected colonist out of the mental break.

Only colonists can experience this mental break. Pawns from other factions, not under the players control, will not. Temporary colonists from [[quests]] or from [[permits]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} can experience this mental break.

This mental break does not trigger the Inspired Creativity [[mental inspiration]] from the [[Traits#Tortured artist|Tortured artist]] trait.

=== Jailbreaker ===
[[File:Jailbreaker.png|thumb|right|Jailbreaker]]

The pawn will move to the targeted prisoner, and upon reaching them, a [[prison break]] event will trigger. Afterwards, the mental break will be changed to something else.

The pawn can be arrested or downed before reaching the prison cell.

=== Slaughterer ===
Causes the pawn to slaughter tamed animals at random.

If you have a lot of tamed animals this usually won't cause major losses, but there's a chance the maddened colonist may decide to butcher a [[bond]]ed animal, a [[boomalope]], or your favorite tamed [[thrumbo]], none of which are "good" outcomes.

{{clear}}

=== Murderous rage ===
[[File:Murderous rage.png|thumb|right|400px|Murderous rage]]

Causes the pawn to select a random colonist or prisoner and melee attack them until they are dead. Once the target is killed the break is over.

This requires intervention from other colonists if the life of the victim is to be saved.
#This can be interrupted by attempting arrest. If it is successful, the colonist will quietly submit and go to prison along with the warden. Otherwise, the colonist will instead go berserk and will lash out at nearby colonists instead, which may be easier to deal with as the colonist is no longer hellbent on killing one person.
#If the murder target is rescued or otherwise becomes unpathable to the maddened colonist, they will instead select a new victim.

This break can occur in pawns placed temporarily under your control, such as those provided by [[quests]] or from [[permits]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}.

It is ten times less likely to occur in a colony with a population of two, and it increases linearly to the normal level at a population of seven or more.

=== Run wild ===
Causes the pawn to run into the wild and start acting like an animal. While acting like an animal, the pawn will subsist on wild sources of food, usually berry bushes or agave in arid biomes. They may wander across spike traps and randomly trigger them.

Unlike other breaks, this one lasts indefinitely without intervention. The only way to end it is to have another colonist tame the broken colonist and convince them to act like a human again. Taming a wild man is equivalent to taming an animal of 75% wildness, equivalent to an [[elephant]] or [[fox]], and requiring an [[Skills#Animals|Animals]] skill of 7 or greater.

Damaging them until they are downed isn't an advisable option; since they don't belong to your faction anymore, they will most likely die upon receiving enough damage to become incapacitated. Using a [[psychic shock lance]] to down them will ignore the storyteller [[death on downed]] chance, however there is always the risk of brain damage. If rescued, they have a chance to join you upon recovery.

Upon taming, they will have their usual Catharsis moodlet, and will have their Beauty and Comfort needs set to 50%, while their Outdoors needs is set to 100%.

It is much less likely to happen at lower population levels, and will never occur with a population of one, identical to that of the ''murderous rage'' break.

Additionally, it appears that this mental break does not trigger the Inspired Creativity [[mental inspiration]] from the [[Traits#Tortured artist|Tortured artist]] trait, however more testing is needed.{{Check Tag|Verify}}

:'''Commonality:''' 0.5

=== Given up and leaving ===
Causes the pawn to decide they've had enough with the colony, and leave entirely.

This can be countered either by arresting the colonist, or incapacitating them by force. Sometimes a pawn can decide to return to the colony after having this break, but before they have left the map. It is currently unclear what controls the rate of this occurrence. {{Check Tag|Detail needed}}

Quest lodgers and [[slaves]] cannot get this mental break. It will never occur if there are seven or less members in the colony, and the frequency increases linearly, capping at twelve colonists.

=== Crisis of belief ===
{{Ideology|No category}}
{{Stub|reason=Confirmation and detail on how the weighting used to choose the replacement ideoligion is calculated - see GetIdeoWeight function}}
A pawn undergoes a crisis of faith in their [[ideoligion]], losing 50% of their [[Certainty]]. Unlike many forms of Certainty loss, this value is not modified by the pawn's their [[Global Certainty Loss Factor]].

Should this loss be sufficient to reduce the pawn to 0%, they will instead immediately convert to a different ideoligion. This ideoligion is randomly selected from all ideoligions in the current world, including the player's, with weighting based on the following factors:
* Every ideoligion has a base value of 1.
* +1 for each [[faction]] with that ideoligion that is allied to the breaking pawn's faction
* +1 for each spawned pawn with that ideoligion, on any map, that is the same faction as the breaking pawn
'''AND EITHER'''
* +1 for each spawned pawn on the same map from the same faction as the breaking pawn, or from a non-hostile faction.
'''OR'''
* +1 for each pawn with the ideoligion currently on a caravan, if the breaking pawn is currently on a caravan.
The random generator will never return the pawn's current ideoligion.

=== Entity liberator ===
{{Anomaly|No category}}
The pawn is suddenly allured by a captive [[Entity|entity]], and will free it.

=== Terrifying hallucinations ===
[[File:Terrifying Hallucinations Demo.png|thumb|right|Terrifying hallucinations]]
{{Anomaly|No category}}
The pawn will break down and start to hallucinate, seeing fellow colonists as nightmarish figures and will flee from anyone they perceive as a threat.

Whilst a pawn is in this state, shadowy figures will swirl around the afflicted pawn and they will ramble insane nonsense every 10-30 seconds. Much like other nonsensical rambling mental states, other colonists will be slightly upset by the afflicted pawn's nonsensical gibberish. The break may end when the pawn goes to sleep.

== Special ==
These mental states aren't mood-related, and have certain circumstances required to trigger them.

=== Confusion ===
[[File:Confusion.png|thumb|right|Confused and wandering]]

Similar to the 'Sad Wandering' mental state, except confused wandering only occurs on a pawn with Alzheimer's or Dementia, as well as those still woozy or recovering from anesthesia.

This mental state is similar to psychotic wandering in the respect that confused pawns are prone to wandering into dangerous situations, however they do not strip off their equipment. This mental state ends after a certain period of time, or when the affected pawn is downed or killed. All normal thoughts are blocked during this time frame.

It can also occur in animals after their [[bond]]ed master dies.

:'''Mean time between Recovery:''' 0.2 days <br>
:'''Minimum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|3500}} <br>
{{clear}}

=== Social fighting ===
[[File:Social fighting.png|thumb|right|Traders social fighting]]

Social fighting is triggered when one pawn slights or insults another (significantly more likely with insulting than slighting), and the affected pawn gets angered. While very brief and usually only resulting in minor-moderate injury, social fighting can also end up with much worse results including a pawn getting downed, disfigured, or uncommonly even outright killed. Social fighting ends after a very short time, or when one of the fighting pawns gets downed or killed.

:'''Mean time between Recovery:''' 0.02 days <br>
:'''Minimum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|420}} <br>
{{clear}}

=== Fleeing in panic ===
[[File:Fleeing in panic.png|thumb|right|Fleeing in panic]]

This sort of mental break happens when half (rounded up) of a group of non-colonist humanlikes are killed; whether it be hostiles, traders, or the like. Pawns affected by this mental state will attempt to leave the map by any means possible as soon as they realize that they're not going to win whatever battle they got caught up in.

This mental state will end once the affected pawn leaves the map, or when they're killed.

Pawns in this state will run indiscriminately towards the closest edge of the map, completely disregarding any hostiles in the way (such as your colonists firing at them), trying to smash down doors even when there is a clear path out next to them.
{{clear}}

=== Fleeing fire ===
{{Biotech|No category}}
{{stub|section=1|reason=Mechanic details + numbers.}}
This sort of mental break happens when a pawn with [[Pyrophobia]] gene happens to be near the fire. It will cause them to flee far away from the source of fire.

This mental state will end once he or she no longer see fire within their field of vision.

The affected colonist does not gain the [Catharsis] mood buff from fleeing fire.
{{clear}}

=== Manhunter ===
{{For|the [[event]] that causes a pack of animals affected by this break to spawn on the map|Events#Manhunter pack}}
Animals may suffer a manhunter mental break, similar to [[Mental break#Berserk|berserk]]. A manhunter animal will seek out and attack any humans and [[Mechanoids]]. Animal pulser maddened animals will attack mechs on the map it can reach, regardless of faction, but will ignore tamed animals.

Manhunters will not spontaneously attempt to break through obstacles to hunt down pawns, but will attack doors if they see someone go through them. They will cease their attack after a short period, but may still successfully break it down in that time. If strong doors are not available to hide behind, try to get out of line of sight before ducking into a nearby building, be ready to repair the door from the inside, or simply accept that the door is only a temporary barrier.

The mental break can be triggered in several ways:
* Via the [[Events#Mad (Animal)|Mad Animal]] event. Affects 1 wild animal.
* Via the [[Events#Psychic Wave|Psychic Wave]] event. Affects all wild animals on the relevant map.
* Via the use of a [[psychic animal pulser]]. Affects all non-player owned animals on the relevant map.
* Via injury inflicted by any humanlike pawn. Chance is controlled by the animal's "Manhunter Chance", the [[hunting stealth]] of the injuring pawn, and the distance between the pawn and the animal. Affects the injured animal, and in the case of certain herd animals, any nearby animals of the same species.
* Via a failed taming attempt angering the animal. Chance is controlled by the animal's "Manhunter Chance (Taming)". Affects the targeted wild animal.{{Check Tag|Herd?|Can this trigger herd revenge as well?}}
* Via the death of their [[bond]]ed master.{{Check Tag|Chance?}} Affects any tamed and bonded animal

An animal's manhunting rampage will end after a certain amount of time, upon the animal sleeping, or once [[downed]].

Manhunter animals with [[Scaria]] can not be [[tame]]d without first curing them. Attempts to [[prioritize]] the taming task will result instead in a hint saying ''Animal busy''.

:'''Mean time between Recovery:''' 0.3 days <br>
:'''Minimum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|10000}} <br>

=== Manhunter Permanent ===
Permanent manhunter is randomly applied to animals that are part of a [[manhunter pack]]. Affected animals will never snap out of this mental state under normal circumstances, and completely neglect their own needs. Animals in this state will generally leave the area within a few days.

Some manhunter animals, such as [[boomrat]]s, will typically starve to death due to their hunger rate combined with the typical manhunter animal duration.

:'''Minimum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|99999999}} <br>

=== Roaming ===
Introduced in 1.3, farm animals (animal species that cannot be controlled via zones) can randomly get this mental break if they are outside of an enclosed pen. This can cause them to leave the map if not roped in immediately. If they are enclosed in a pen, or if they are roped in by a colonist after a valid pen is placed, this mental break will immediately end.

This does not occur on maps where they have recently been brought in, or on maps the other colonist are raiding in.

:'''Minimum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|99999999}} <br>

=== Berserk (short) ===
{{Anomaly|No category}}
A shorter variation of the berserk break that occurs due to buildup of [[Blood rain|blood rage]]. Functions identically to its classic variant.

:'''Mean time between Recovery:''' 0.166 days <br>
:'''Minimum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|10000}} <br>
:'''Maximum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|15000}} <br>

=== Manhunter (blood rain) ===
{{Anomaly|No category}}
A variation of the manhunter mental state that occurs due to buildup of [[Blood rain|blood rage]]. Functions identically to its classic variant.

Whilst it eventually comes to an end after the blood rain comes to an end, it will not stop whilst the afflicted animal goes to sleep, is downed, or collapses due to extreme exhaustion.
:'''Minimum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|15000}} <br>
:'''Maximum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|30000}} <br>

=== Cube sculpting ===
{{Anomaly|No category}}
Randomly happens in pawns with an interest in the [[Golden cube]], where they will build a sculpture on the ground in the shape of a cube. This may be made of sand, dirt, or miscellaneous scrap, depending on the surface. The break will then immediately end.

It is important to mention that these sculptures are affected by [[quality]], therefore a pawn with an Inspired Creativity [[mental inspiration]] may use their inspiration on a cube sculpture.

:'''Minimum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|20000}} <br>
:'''Maximum time until Recovery:''' {{Ticks|35000}} <br>

== Tips ==
* [[Arrest]]ed [[prisoner]]s and [[prison]]s are more expensive than random damage of the most mental breaks.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.3.410|0.3.410]] - Mental break probability is much lower.
* [[Version/0.9.722|0.9.722]] - Binge mental break added
* [[Version/0.12.906|0.12.906]] - Dazed broken pawns will now randomly strip off clothes and drop things.
* [[Version/0.14.1234|0.14.1234]] - Added new class of “minor” mental breaks. Added minor mental break: food binge.
* [[Version/0.18.1722|0.18.1722]] - Added the following mental breaks: Insulting spree, Targeted insulting spree, Tantrum, Bedroom tantrum, Targeted tantrum, Sadistic rage, Corpse obsession, Catatonia, Jailbreaker, Slaughterer, Murderous rage, Run wild.
* Beta 19/ 1.0 - Overhauled mental break probabilities. Aside from some exceptional cases, all mental breaks are more or less equally probable.
* 1.1 - the way the different mental break thresholds were calculated was changed. Previously the major break thresholds and minor break thresholds were locked to base threshold + 15% and +30% respectively, with the base threshold at 5% for normal pawns; as a result, the mental break thresholds could be reduced by a maximum of 4% only, leading to the Iron-willed and Steadfast [[traits]] being weaker than expected.
* [[Version/1.2.2753|1.2.2753]] - Disable corpse obsession break for prisoners, as it's very unlikely to happen and is not implemented around this possibility.
* [[Version/1.3.3066|1.3.3066]] - Fix: During food binges, sometimes pawns will use recreational drugs.
* [[Version/1.4.3542|1.4.3542]] - Fix: Quest lodgers can do the "give up and exit" mental break.
* [[Version/1.4.3555|1.4.3555]] - Fix: Bloodfeed can be used on pawns in mental states.

Factions

2024-06-14T13:15:44Z

Starei: /* Faction naming */

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

Starting 1.3, you can set which faction can exist for your current gameplay setup when creating worlds. However, at 1.4, the limitation for how many can exist are 12, excluding Mechanoid Hive and Insect geneline. [[Biotech]] replace some of the starting faction with its Xeno-type faction as default, but both types can still be placed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Neanderthal Tribe is available as a subtype of the fierce tribe. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "Neanderthaler". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Fierce Tribe faction.

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Impid Tribe is available as a subtype of the savage tribe. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "[[Impids|Impid]]". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Savage Tribe faction.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Rough Pig Union is available as a subtype of the rough outlander Union. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "Pigskin". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Rough outlander union.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Yttakin Pirates are available as a pirate band. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "Yttakin". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Pirate faction, along with Waster Pirates.

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Waster Pirates are available as a pirate band. Most members of this faction will be of the Xenotype "Waster". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Pirate faction, along with Yttakin Pirates.

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

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

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

==Leaderless factions==
These factions don't have a single leader, but they still show up in the game (usually to cause trouble)
[[File:HiddenFactions.png|700px|thumb|center|An example of hidden factions in 1.1]]

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

The Mechanoids are a faction of super-advanced robots, all of which are extremely formidable in combat. They come in five forms: [[Centipede]]s, [[Lancer]]s, [[Pikeman|Pikemen]], [[Scyther]]s and [[Termite]]s.

Centipedes are the Mechanoids' heavy units, equipped with a [[minigun]], [[inferno cannon]], or [[heavy charge blaster]], as well as remarkably tough armor. Centipedes are capable of dealing a great amount of damage to your colony. Their primary purpose is to soak up damage from static defenses while suppressing enemy infantry's movements. They move very slowly, making hit-and-run or kiting attacks possible.

Scythers are the Mechanoids' melee units. They use special scyther blades that are attached to their bodies and cannot be removed. They are very deadly in hand-to-hand combat, and it's easy to lose limbs to a scyther. They are best engaged from a distance.

Lancers are the Mechanoids' light ranged units, equipped with a [[charge lance]]. Lancers can deal a great amount of damage per shot with their weapons, and their range means that they can attack [[mini-turret]]s without retaliation. Their primary purpose is to pick off defenders. If possible, take them out first, as their weapons can do significant and possibly lethal damage in the first shot if not stopped in time.

Pikemen are the Mechanoids' snipers, equipped with a [[needle gun]]. They deal low damage per shot but have immense range and accuracy. They do pathetic damage in melee and can be quickly dispatched with a single melee pawn.

Termites are the Mechanoids' breachers, equipped with a [[thump cannon]]. While they do not do as much damage towards a colonist compared to other mechanoids, their weapons are a giant bane towards most of the structure, particularly walls. The damage done to any structures are incredibly devastating, and they are often accompanied by nearby mechanoids which only attacks within range or for the scyther's case, proximity of any hostile. If the termites are killed, any mechanoids following it will immediately seek and kill/destroy hostile targets.

Once killed, all Mechanoids leave a corpse which can be broken down at a [[machining table]] for metal and components.

A Mechanoid attack can easily destroy an unprepared colony. They have a decent combat AI that utilizes each unit's strengths, making them a dangerous enemy to face. Mechanoids are the enemies of the [[Events|"Ancient Ship Crash" event]], in which they will emerge from the wreckage of their ship and attack if a colonist attacks it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They will immediately become hostile and start attacking.

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

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

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

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

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

Some factions will always generate with a fixed name.

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

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

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

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

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

=== Relationship status ===

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

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

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

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

=== Improving Relations ===

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

* Via [[Events]]:
** Rescue one of their fallen faction members, take them in as a [[guest]] and treat them. They may have been part of an [[Events#Transport_pod_crash|event]], or a fallen [[visitor]] or [[trader]], but you didn't (directly) cause their injuries. Returning a faction member in “good health” to the edge of the map and effectively to the faction members will improve the goodwill by +16. This means the member must be fully treated at that time, but it does not matter if he has not fully healed, has permanent health damage such as scars or removed organs, or is sick. (As of Update 1.4.3704, rescuing fallen faction members does not improve good will. It is unclear if this is a bug or intentional)
** [[Events#Bandit camp opportunity|Destroying raider outposts]] bothering another faction improves relations by 8 and comes with a material reward, for each outpost destroyed.
** Fulfilling [[Events#Caravan request|trade requests]], at a rate of +12 per request.
* Destroying faction bases of mutual enemies gives +20 goodwill.
* Returning a [[prisoner]] usually gives a +12 boost, or +15 if the shift moves relations toward "natural goodwill" (viewable in the [Factions] tab, bottom right of the screen). However, for factions that are "always hostile" (i.e. [[pirates]] and [[savage tribe]]s), there is never any relation bonus.
* Trading will also boost relationships, at a rate of +1 per 500 silver traded.
* Sending them gifts can help improve relations, at a rate of +1 per 160 silver gifted. Sending 1 Thrumbo calf gives +6 Goodwill.

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

=== Damaging Relations ===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Factions

2024-06-14T12:53:11Z

Starei: /* Entities */

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

Starting 1.3, you can set which faction can exist for your current gameplay setup when creating worlds. However, at 1.4, the limitation for how many can exist are 12, excluding Mechanoid Hive and Insect geneline. [[Biotech]] replace some of the starting faction with its Xeno-type faction as default, but both types can still be placed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Neanderthal Tribe is available as a subtype of the fierce tribe. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "Neanderthaler". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Fierce Tribe faction.

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Impid Tribe is available as a subtype of the savage tribe. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "[[Impids|Impid]]". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Savage Tribe faction.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Rough Pig Union is available as a subtype of the rough outlander Union. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "Pigskin". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Rough outlander union.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Yttakin Pirates are available as a pirate band. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "Yttakin". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Pirate faction, along with Waster Pirates.

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Waster Pirates are available as a pirate band. Most members of this faction will be of the Xenotype "Waster". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Pirate faction, along with Yttakin Pirates.

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

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

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

==Leaderless factions==
These factions don't have a single leader, but they still show up in the game (usually to cause trouble)
[[File:HiddenFactions.png|700px|thumb|center|An example of hidden factions in 1.1]]

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

The Mechanoids are a faction of super-advanced robots, all of which are extremely formidable in combat. They come in five forms: [[Centipede]]s, [[Lancer]]s, [[Pikeman|Pikemen]], [[Scyther]]s and [[Termite]]s.

Centipedes are the Mechanoids' heavy units, equipped with a [[minigun]], [[inferno cannon]], or [[heavy charge blaster]], as well as remarkably tough armor. Centipedes are capable of dealing a great amount of damage to your colony. Their primary purpose is to soak up damage from static defenses while suppressing enemy infantry's movements. They move very slowly, making hit-and-run or kiting attacks possible.

Scythers are the Mechanoids' melee units. They use special scyther blades that are attached to their bodies and cannot be removed. They are very deadly in hand-to-hand combat, and it's easy to lose limbs to a scyther. They are best engaged from a distance.

Lancers are the Mechanoids' light ranged units, equipped with a [[charge lance]]. Lancers can deal a great amount of damage per shot with their weapons, and their range means that they can attack [[mini-turret]]s without retaliation. Their primary purpose is to pick off defenders. If possible, take them out first, as their weapons can do significant and possibly lethal damage in the first shot if not stopped in time.

Pikemen are the Mechanoids' snipers, equipped with a [[needle gun]]. They deal low damage per shot but have immense range and accuracy. They do pathetic damage in melee and can be quickly dispatched with a single melee pawn.

Termites are the Mechanoids' breachers, equipped with a [[thump cannon]]. While they do not do as much damage towards a colonist compared to other mechanoids, their weapons are a giant bane towards most of the structure, particularly walls. The damage done to any structures are incredibly devastating, and they are often accompanied by nearby mechanoids which only attacks within range or for the scyther's case, proximity of any hostile. If the termites are killed, any mechanoids following it will immediately seek and kill/destroy hostile targets.

Once killed, all Mechanoids leave a corpse which can be broken down at a [[machining table]] for metal and components.

A Mechanoid attack can easily destroy an unprepared colony. They have a decent combat AI that utilizes each unit's strengths, making them a dangerous enemy to face. Mechanoids are the enemies of the [[Events|"Ancient Ship Crash" event]], in which they will emerge from the wreckage of their ship and attack if a colonist attacks it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They will immediately become hostile and start attacking.

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

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

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

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

*Outlanders have more peaceful and political names such as 'pan-global covenant', 'confederation', or simply a randomly put-together name.
*Tribals tend to use their natural environment, including words like 'mountain' in their names. They may also use Galician words.
*Pirates generate more 'badass' and violent names. They also tend to use intimidating or predatory animal or weapon names.

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

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

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

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

=== Relationship status ===

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

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

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

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

=== Improving Relations ===

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

* Via [[Events]]:
** Rescue one of their fallen faction members, take them in as a [[guest]] and treat them. They may have been part of an [[Events#Transport_pod_crash|event]], or a fallen [[visitor]] or [[trader]], but you didn't (directly) cause their injuries. Returning a faction member in “good health” to the edge of the map and effectively to the faction members will improve the goodwill by +16. This means the member must be fully treated at that time, but it does not matter if he has not fully healed, has permanent health damage such as scars or removed organs, or is sick. (As of Update 1.4.3704, rescuing fallen faction members does not improve good will. It is unclear if this is a bug or intentional)
** [[Events#Bandit camp opportunity|Destroying raider outposts]] bothering another faction improves relations by 8 and comes with a material reward, for each outpost destroyed.
** Fulfilling [[Events#Caravan request|trade requests]], at a rate of +12 per request.
* Destroying faction bases of mutual enemies gives +20 goodwill.
* Returning a [[prisoner]] usually gives a +12 boost, or +15 if the shift moves relations toward "natural goodwill" (viewable in the [Factions] tab, bottom right of the screen). However, for factions that are "always hostile" (i.e. [[pirates]] and [[savage tribe]]s), there is never any relation bonus.
* Trading will also boost relationships, at a rate of +1 per 500 silver traded.
* Sending them gifts can help improve relations, at a rate of +1 per 160 silver gifted. Sending 1 Thrumbo calf gives +6 Goodwill.

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

=== Damaging Relations ===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Factions

2024-06-14T12:52:26Z

Starei: /* Leaderless factions */

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

Starting 1.3, you can set which faction can exist for your current gameplay setup when creating worlds. However, at 1.4, the limitation for how many can exist are 12, excluding Mechanoid Hive and Insect geneline. [[Biotech]] replace some of the starting faction with its Xeno-type faction as default, but both types can still be placed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Neanderthal Tribe is available as a subtype of the fierce tribe. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "Neanderthaler". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Fierce Tribe faction.

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Impid Tribe is available as a subtype of the savage tribe. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "[[Impids|Impid]]". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Savage Tribe faction.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Rough Pig Union is available as a subtype of the rough outlander Union. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "Pigskin". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Rough outlander union.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Yttakin Pirates are available as a pirate band. Members of this faction will always be of the Xenotype "Yttakin". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Pirate faction, along with Waster Pirates.

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

With [[Biotech]] enabled, the Waster Pirates are available as a pirate band. Most members of this faction will be of the Xenotype "Waster". These faction replace the default appearing faction for Pirate faction, along with Yttakin Pirates.

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

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

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

==Leaderless factions==
These factions don't have a single leader, but they still show up in the game (usually to cause trouble)
[[File:HiddenFactions.png|700px|thumb|center|An example of hidden factions in 1.1]]

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

The Mechanoids are a faction of super-advanced robots, all of which are extremely formidable in combat. They come in five forms: [[Centipede]]s, [[Lancer]]s, [[Pikeman|Pikemen]], [[Scyther]]s and [[Termite]]s.

Centipedes are the Mechanoids' heavy units, equipped with a [[minigun]], [[inferno cannon]], or [[heavy charge blaster]], as well as remarkably tough armor. Centipedes are capable of dealing a great amount of damage to your colony. Their primary purpose is to soak up damage from static defenses while suppressing enemy infantry's movements. They move very slowly, making hit-and-run or kiting attacks possible.

Scythers are the Mechanoids' melee units. They use special scyther blades that are attached to their bodies and cannot be removed. They are very deadly in hand-to-hand combat, and it's easy to lose limbs to a scyther. They are best engaged from a distance.

Lancers are the Mechanoids' light ranged units, equipped with a [[charge lance]]. Lancers can deal a great amount of damage per shot with their weapons, and their range means that they can attack [[mini-turret]]s without retaliation. Their primary purpose is to pick off defenders. If possible, take them out first, as their weapons can do significant and possibly lethal damage in the first shot if not stopped in time.

Pikemen are the Mechanoids' snipers, equipped with a [[needle gun]]. They deal low damage per shot but have immense range and accuracy. They do pathetic damage in melee and can be quickly dispatched with a single melee pawn.

Termites are the Mechanoids' breachers, equipped with a [[thump cannon]]. While they do not do as much damage towards a colonist compared to other mechanoids, their weapons are a giant bane towards most of the structure, particularly walls. The damage done to any structures are incredibly devastating, and they are often accompanied by nearby mechanoids which only attacks within range or for the scyther's case, proximity of any hostile. If the termites are killed, any mechanoids following it will immediately seek and kill/destroy hostile targets.

Once killed, all Mechanoids leave a corpse which can be broken down at a [[machining table]] for metal and components.

A Mechanoid attack can easily destroy an unprepared colony. They have a decent combat AI that utilizes each unit's strengths, making them a dangerous enemy to face. Mechanoids are the enemies of the [[Events|"Ancient Ship Crash" event]], in which they will emerge from the wreckage of their ship and attack if a colonist attacks it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They will immediately become hostile and start attacking.

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

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

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

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

*Outlanders have more peaceful and political names such as 'pan-global covenant', 'confederation', or simply a randomly put-together name.
*Tribals tend to use their natural environment, including words like 'mountain' in their names. They may also use Galician words.
*Pirates generate more 'badass' and violent names. They also tend to use intimidating or predatory animal or weapon names.

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

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

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

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

=== Relationship status ===

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

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

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

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

=== Improving Relations ===

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

* Via [[Events]]:
** Rescue one of their fallen faction members, take them in as a [[guest]] and treat them. They may have been part of an [[Events#Transport_pod_crash|event]], or a fallen [[visitor]] or [[trader]], but you didn't (directly) cause their injuries. Returning a faction member in “good health” to the edge of the map and effectively to the faction members will improve the goodwill by +16. This means the member must be fully treated at that time, but it does not matter if he has not fully healed, has permanent health damage such as scars or removed organs, or is sick. (As of Update 1.4.3704, rescuing fallen faction members does not improve good will. It is unclear if this is a bug or intentional)
** [[Events#Bandit camp opportunity|Destroying raider outposts]] bothering another faction improves relations by 8 and comes with a material reward, for each outpost destroyed.
** Fulfilling [[Events#Caravan request|trade requests]], at a rate of +12 per request.
* Destroying faction bases of mutual enemies gives +20 goodwill.
* Returning a [[prisoner]] usually gives a +12 boost, or +15 if the shift moves relations toward "natural goodwill" (viewable in the [Factions] tab, bottom right of the screen). However, for factions that are "always hostile" (i.e. [[pirates]] and [[savage tribe]]s), there is never any relation bonus.
* Trading will also boost relationships, at a rate of +1 per 500 silver traded.
* Sending them gifts can help improve relations, at a rate of +1 per 160 silver gifted. Sending 1 Thrumbo calf gives +6 Goodwill.

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

=== Damaging Relations ===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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