It also allows some debug settings, for example unlimited power, toggling damage, fast research, instant recruit, faster learning (i.e. instant boost to lv 20 upon doing a task), ecology, crafting, caravans, etc. Write Storyteller will add all of the raid point calculation data, considerations, and results on the raid notification letter for example. Another setting which can be useful to enable, is the setting to draw paths, paths are drawn, so you can see where all pawns, animals, colonist, and enemies are pathing to. Those settings will not be saved so you need to enable them each time if you want to use those settings. The tabs at the top of this screen will allow you to switch between view setting toggles, debug actions menu, and debug logging screens without having to close the dev menu each time.

== Debug Log ==
 +
 
 +
Opens the active in progress game log, aka debug log.  If pause on error is enabled this is the window you will see when an error occurs.  The most recent events are at the bottom of the log.  Selecting any line will open more details about the entry and it's stack trace in the lower part of the window. (only visible when an item is selected)  The size of the lower window may be changed with the handle between the window panes or by using the trace size buttons located at the top of the window.  Selecting clear will clear the currently displayed log information within the game, however the information will remain in the log file as usual.
 +
 
 +
== Tweak Values ==
 +
 
 +
Opens a menu with various sliders and a few toggles for changing some of the values associated with game pertaining to gameplay, tick rate, UI sizes, graphics settings, among other things and may include some mod options.  (ToDo: generate and populate table of settings)
 +
 
 +
== View Settings ==
 +
 
 +
Opens a menu that provides settings for visible layers, AI pathing and considerations, as well as some useful dev settings like infinite electricity, fast crafting, and fast caravans.  Draw paths will enable pathing lines for all non-colonist pawns. (pawn must be visible on screen for line to render) Write storyteller will provide the totals, equations, and values and modifiers for all wealth and pawns when raid events are generated and appends it to the raid letter message body.  Log translation lookup errors has also been relocated to here.

==== Understanding the Buttons ====
 +
 
 +
Not every command can be listed all at once and frankly would overwhelm nearly anyone so many of these options are multi-level. More than one of these options can appear on a button and, for example, to change an items quality select the "T:set quality..." option and then select the quality you want to make the item.  Special note that the game will only apply settings to objects that allow that effect or descriptor and will attempt to affect everything in every layer under the mouse.  Beware T:Kill, T:Delete, and T:Discard!  To cancel any tool at anytime just right click or press escape.
 +
 
 +
Commands prefaced with with "T:" are applied to a target.  Upon selection the menu will close and leave a T attached to the cursor with either the name, action, or instructions beside it.  Some pawns may be between cells and you may need to toggle pause to let them move into a targetable position.  Beware target tools will affect every valid object in the selected cell.
 +
 
 +
Commands ending with an ellipsis "..." denote the items with submenus usually offering options such as quality level, quantity, difficulty level, or what item you want to spawn to name a few of the most common.  Being presented with no option within a submenu usually means there is nothing available to do in the gamespace you are currently in. (e.x. spawning a pawn on the main menu) 
  
Commands prefaced with with '''"T:"''' seem to temporarily alter the mouse behavior to do execute the command on  left click, with right click cancelling this behavior.
+
Commands ending in (rect) will require you to select two points to create a rectangle selection area for the selected task. Examples of this would be "Edit Roof (rect)..." which would allow you to remove or place specific roof types.
  
Commands ending with an ellipsis '''"..."''' seem to tend to open a submenu, but not commands that do so have the ellipsis and not all commands that have an ellipsis do so. Its meaning is currently unclear.
+
Commands ending in (Map) will affect the current map in whatever way they normally would otherwise. Example would be "Do Incident (Map)..." to generate a caravan, visitor, or passing thrumbo heard.

Development mode toolbar (red frame) on top of the screen, next to the colonist bar.

Development mode is a feature on the user interface that serves both as a debugging tool for developers and as a cheat menu for most other players.

When active, it is seen as an additional menu on the top of the screen.

Options[edit]

Development mode can be enabled via the Options in the Menu, accessible via the toolbar or the ESCAPE key. Under Options, there is an option for "Development Mode". Toggle this option to a tick to turn on development mode.

Permanently disable[edit]

In the Options menu in-game, you have the choice to 'permanently' disable development mode after you have enabled the developer mode. This prevents you from cheating using this.

Enabling this option creates an empty file called 'DevModeDisabled' in the RimWorld config folder.

You can reset it by deleting this 'DevModeDisabled' file from the RimWorld config folder

The config folder can be located at the following locations:

In Windows:
- Press the Start/WindowsKey + R > Enter "%appdata%" and press enter > then navigate to LocalLow -> Ludeon Studios -> Rimworld by Ludeon Studios -> Config
In Linux:
- On a console, type: cd "~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld by Ludeon Studios/Config"

Features[edit]

Items are shown from left to right in the picture.

DebugLog.png Debug log[edit]

An output log for debugging. Shows errors if they occur, as well as debug outputs.

Tweakvalues.png Tweak Values[edit]

A menu with several options for tweaking values associated with some AI actions, gameplay, UI values, graphics settings, plants, and other performance effecting variables.

ViewSettings.png View settings[edit]

Toggles special debug visuals, such as shooting hit chances, infestation chances and toggling fog (fog of war) and snow visibility. It also allows some debug settings, for example unlimited power, toggling damage, fast research, instant recruit, faster learning (i.e. instant boost to lv 20 upon doing a task), ecology, crafting, caravans, etc. Write Storyteller will add all of the raid point calculation data, considerations, and results on the raid notification letter for example. Another setting which can be useful to enable, is the setting to draw paths, paths are drawn, so you can see where all pawns, animals, colonist, and enemies are pathing to. Those settings will not be saved so you need to enable them each time if you want to use those settings. The tabs at the top of this screen will allow you to switch between view setting toggles, debug actions menu, and debug logging screens without having to close the dev menu each time.

Debug.png Debug actions menu[edit]

Forces a variety of things to happen. Many things can be done from here; spawning items and pawns, executing events, downing/ killing pawns, they are all done through this menu. The second page of this menu can be found in "show more actions" under more debug actions on the right. The search bar at the top may be used at any time in any part of the dev menu and is especially useful when spawning items into the world.

Debug.png Debug logging menu[edit]

Where some debugging information can be found, like crop economy, item nutrition, and such. It's also called debug outputs, when clicking on for example apparel or beauties you can see a list of all items that adds beauty points to rooms or buildings. If you want to know which clothing is considered clothing for nudists you can find it here as well.

Inspector.png Inspector[edit]

Opens the inspector panel and shows you what's happening in the game. Note: You may be required to have this open to see some of the output from the selected debug logging menu selection.

GodMode.png God mode[edit]

Toggles god mode. While active, all player-buildable buildings are available without research, and are constructed instantly and at no cost when placing down the blueprint. Note that "deconstructing" is instantaneous, but leaves behind resources as appropriate to the item(s) deconstructed. To remove these items, or any others, use the "T: Kill" or T: Destroy" commands under the Debug section. Be mindful that these options remove everything in all layers of a tile and as a result you may need to replace some items such as electrical conduit.

Mining orders are also completed instantly upon designation but return a yield of 1.

God mode can be also toggled through 'View Settings'.

Devpalette.png Inspector[edit]

Toggles the DEV Palette to be visible or hidden. Anything in the dev menu at any level may be added to this menu by toggling the pin following the option in the menu. Items may be reordered by dragging the grey striped box to the desired location and easily removed by clicking the last rightmost red X.


Pauseonerror.png Autopause[edit]

Toggles autopause when an error is logged.

Search bar[edit]

Allows you to find items on the current map and will scan through all the items in the event of multiples. Does not work on map. In menus it can be used at any level to quickly find any action or setting through to narrowing item search results when spawning.

Debug Log[edit]

Opens the active in progress game log, aka debug log. If pause on error is enabled this is the window you will see when an error occurs. The most recent events are at the bottom of the log. Selecting any line will open more details about the entry and it's stack trace in the lower part of the window. (only visible when an item is selected) The size of the lower window may be changed with the handle between the window panes or by using the trace size buttons located at the top of the window. Selecting clear will clear the currently displayed log information within the game, however the information will remain in the log file as usual.

Tweak Values[edit]

Opens a menu with various sliders and a few toggles for changing some of the values associated with game pertaining to gameplay, tick rate, UI sizes, graphics settings, among other things and may include some mod options. (ToDo: generate and populate table of settings)

View Settings[edit]

Opens a menu that provides settings for visible layers, AI pathing and considerations, as well as some useful dev settings like infinite electricity, fast crafting, and fast caravans. Draw paths will enable pathing lines for all non-colonist pawns. (pawn must be visible on screen for line to render) Write storyteller will provide the totals, equations, and values and modifiers for all wealth and pawns when raid events are generated and appends it to the raid letter message body. Log translation lookup errors has also been relocated to here.

Debug Action Menu[edit]

Debug Action Menu with the first three DLC installed.

There are many options in this menu, and several sub-menus. The search bar in the top right will highlight options matching the search criteria, but the spelling must exactly match exactly or any portion of it.

Understanding the Buttons[edit]

Not every command can be listed all at once and frankly would overwhelm nearly anyone so many of these options are multi-level. More than one of these options can appear on a button and, for example, to change an items quality select the "T:set quality..." option and then select the quality you want to make the item. Special note that the game will only apply settings to objects that allow that effect or descriptor and will attempt to affect everything in every layer under the mouse. Beware T:Kill, T:Delete, and T:Discard! To cancel any tool at anytime just right click or press escape.

Commands prefaced with with "T:" are applied to a target. Upon selection the menu will close and leave a T attached to the cursor with either the name, action, or instructions beside it. Some pawns may be between cells and you may need to toggle pause to let them move into a targetable position. Beware target tools will affect every valid object in the selected cell.

Commands ending with an ellipsis "..." denote the items with submenus usually offering options such as quality level, quantity, difficulty level, or what item you want to spawn to name a few of the most common. Being presented with no option within a submenu usually means there is nothing available to do in the gamespace you are currently in. (e.x. spawning a pawn on the main menu)

Commands ending in (rect) will require you to select two points to create a rectangle selection area for the selected task. Examples of this would be "Edit Roof (rect)..." which would allow you to remove or place specific roof types.

Commands ending in (Map) will affect the current map in whatever way they normally would otherwise. Example would be "Do Incident (Map)..." to generate a caravan, visitor, or passing thrumbo heard.

Incidents[edit]

Creates events and raids on the currently visible map.

Action Effect
Do trade caravan arrival Allows you to select a currently active faction by name and choose the type of caravan arriving. No random in this menu.
Execute raid with points Creates a random faction raid with specified total raid points. Calls friendlies if allied.
Execute raid with factions Creates a chosen faction raid with specified total raid points. Calls friendlies if allied.
Execute raid with specifics Creates a raid where everything can be specified (faction, total raid points, arrival mode and location, etc.).
Do incident (Map) Creates an event (e.g. a disease, heat wave/cold snap, thrumbos, ambrosia sprout, random enemy raid or caravan visit, etc.).
Do incident x10 (Map) Creates ten times the same kind of event, all at the same time (e.g. 10 mech clusters). Beware calling too many incidents, especially while paused, may result in severe game instability and crashing. Save before use.
Do incident w/ point (Map) Creates an event with specified total raid points.

Incidents: World mode[edit]

These functions are visible when you are viewing the world map in your game. Incidents followed by a NO either cannot be used in the current scope or would otherwise not normally occur on the current map. (Testing required)

Action Effect
Do incident (World)… Creates a global event (e.g. a aurora, eclipse, solar flare) Note: Global mod events are included on this menu.
Do incident x10 (World)… Creates 10x global event (e.g. a aurora, eclipse, solar flare) Note: Global mod events are included on this menu.
Do incident w/ points (World)… Creates a global event (e.g. a aurora, eclipse, solar flare) Note: Global mod events are included on this menu. This menu may be empty if you have no points based world events installed or enabled.

Quests[edit]

Action Effect
Generate quest Allows you to generate a quest at a given raid point value
Generate quests x10 Generate 10 quests of a given raid point value
