Here’s Alpha 13 – Trapped With Your Ex!

To get your update, you can re-download from the same link as last time. Your personal download link never changes. Update emails with your links are being sent out over the next few hours. If anyone lost their download link, they can also get it resent at the automatic link resender.

Old saved games and worlds won’t work in this update, I’m afraid. So please don’t try to load them; they’ll just generate errors.

The end-user license agreement has been fully released this time, so be sure to take a look at it before downloading. It’ll apply to you when you download the update, and is also included with the game.

Below is the video and the major additions list, including permadeath mode, which I forgot to mention before. Have fun!

Release Trailer[edit]

Changes[edit]

Permadeath[edit]

New permadeath mode. One save file, save on quit or autosave only, no take-backsies when something goes horribly, insanely, or laughably wrong. The way RimWorld was meant to be played.

Relationships[edit]

Prison breaks[edit]

Prison breaks. Prisoners pick the locks, get out, seek weapons and work as a group to escape.

Infestations[edit]

Self-reproducing, spreading underground insect hives
Insect hives are dangerous but produce succulent insect jelly

Animals and predators[edit]

Many more animals, some of which will hunt people
Some animals are now predators, including colony pets (e.g. cats catch squirrels)
Animals can gnaw corpses apart directly now

Threat response mode[edit]

Decide how colonists should auto-respond to threats: flee, attack, or ignore?

Economy[edit]

‘Components’ resource used for machinery and electronics
Ground-traveling trade caravans from other factions
Deeper research tree with more low-tech options and more things to research
New fueled buildings: stove and generator
Various new lower and higher-tech production buildings
Two research tables: simple and hi-tech. Hi-tech is required for some projects.

Misc[edit]

New exotic infections: Gut worms, mechanite infections which give abilities at a cost of pain or fatigue, trauma savantism
New chronic diseases: Carcinoma, asthma, hearing loss
New “firefoam popper” provides a way to combat fire besides punching it.
Character records which keep stats on each character like number of kills, injuries, surgeries, etc.
Extreme desert biome
Colonists in relationships can share beds
New double bed; royal bed is now gold-trimmed and fancy
New flatscreen and megascreen TVs
Colonists can now visit sick people in bed to cheer them up
Sick people in bed can now watch TV
Building damage overlays
Days are now twice as long as before, with years being half as many days. (This means that years are exactly as long as before in actual play time, just divided into a smaller number of longer days.)
The year is now split into seasons instead of months.
Animal kibble
Deep rooms stay cool in the heat
Richer tale recording and better art descriptions
Hundreds of balance improvements, optimizations, tweaks and fixes

-===== Combat =====
-*Pawns can no longer overlap during melee combat (unless they’re really small). No more animal deathstacks! This also creates new tactics around blocking, surrounding, or back-line shooters. We had to write a bunch of AI and blocking code to make this function.
-*Projectiles fired by hunting colonists no longer intercept random targets.
-*AI now runs away from grenades thrown by their own faction.
-===== Pawn AI =====
+Here’s Alpha 13 – Trapped With Your Ex!

-*Humans now do incest.
-*Beauty trait now has four stages: Staggeringly ugly, ugly, pretty, beautiful.
-*Some backstories now force pawns to have a given trait (e.g. Model->Beautiful)
-=====Buildings=====
+Old saved games and worlds won’t work in this update, I’m afraid. So please don’t try to load them; they’ll just generate errors.
-*Roofs must now be manually built and torn down by colonists; they do not appear and disappear instantly any more.
-=====Animals=====
+The end-user license agreement has been fully released this time, so be sure to take a look at it before downloading. It’ll apply to you when you download the update, and is also included with the game.
-*Tortoises aren’t so deadly any more.
-*Animals no longer do incest.
-*Nuzzling is now a visualized, recorded social interaction.
-=====Interface=====
+Below is the video and the major additions list, including permadeath mode, which I forgot to mention before. Have fun!
-*Ground fertility is now reported on mouseover.
-*Trading interface now lets you type in the number you want to trade instead of dragging to the number.
-*Reworked the right-click menu to be prettier, more readable, more solid, and better handle large lists of options.
-=====Incidents=====
+==Release Trailer==
-*Raiders can now enter “steal” mode if they see enough value. They’ll grab your stuff and carry it off.
-*Kidnapping raiders now work together much better to kidnap. Instead of everyone fleeing at once, some will kidnap while others cover them.
-=====Miscellaneous=====
+<youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=866pKJDoHj4</youtube>
-*Full Steam Workshop support for mods.
+<youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAOZrfu7n3Q</youtube>
-*Updated to Unity 5.
-*World generation is now part of the new game process, instead of being separate.
-*Flow for opening worlds and savegames from old version is now improved; the “warning, old version” dialog comes before you open them instead of after.
-*Seeds for world gen are now generated from actual words instead of random letter strings.
-*Deworked mods config menu to have a much nicer selection and ordering interface.
-*Humans can now eat unbutchered corpses (though they really don’t like it).
-*Trade caravans can bring pack dromedaries.
-*Gut worms and muscle parasites vanish sooner.
-*Reworked ancient tomb loot generation. Plasteel is sometimes found on pod people. So are components.
-*Research difficulty is now related to your faction’s tech level. Researching techs above your level is harder. So if you’re a tribe, researching spaceflight will be difficult.
-*Various refactorings to make modding easier and code easier to maintain and more flexible. Much more functionality is now implemented as composable ThingComps.
-*Many, many, many other balance changes, gameplay and interface refinements, and bugfixes.
