== Save file contents == 
'''Rimworld's''' save files are written in XML (Version 1.0) and contain all the information about the state of the game.
'''Update:''' they are now stored as RWS File.

=== Notable sections === 
* ''Resources'' - Contains information about each of the available resources in the game.
* ''ProjectList'' - Contains the state of each of the research projects available in the game. The research completes when Progress is more than (or equal) to TotalCost.
* ''ThingReservation'' - Details what a Pawn (person/animal) is doing/going to do.
* ''Thing'' - information about a person/animal

<nowiki>Example of removing the Toxic Fallout event from the game: open the save file with Wordpad, press Ctrl+F and search for 'toxicfallout'. You will see a list of <li>events</li>. See where in the list 'ToxicFallout' is (for me at the bottom). Below that list is a list of <li>numbers</li>. Change the number to '0' between <li></li> which is in the same position in the list as 'ToxicFallout' was in the previous list (bottom one for me). It will now never occur again.</nowiki>

'''Actually I'm not sure if this works, since it says 'lastqueueticks', maybe those values are how long it's been since you last encountered such events. Needs testing [[User:Weslington|Weslington]] ([[User talk:Weslington|talk]]) 23:06, 9 August 2016 (UTC).'''


<nowiki>Also if currently you would be experiencing this Toxic Fallout and would want to remove it not only for the future, but also immediately, do the following: Ctrl+F in the save file and search for 'activeconditions'. You will find: <activeConditions> <li> 'some text regarding the Toxic Fallout' </li> </activeConditions>. Change this to only 1 line with just this: <activeConditions />.</nowiki> So you would have [http://puu.sh/qtTAx/20ec8138cd.png this.]
