'''Events''' are driven by the currently selected [[AI Storytellers|AI storyteller]].
  
−
Events are driven by the currently selected [[AI Storytellers|AI storyteller]]. They range from everyday occurrences like passers by, to all out assaults on the colony.
+
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.
  
−
The player will be notified of an event's occurrence by an envelope icon that will appear down the right side of the screen. Envelopes are color coded according to whether the event is good or bad - blue envelopes denote good events, red envelopes denote bad events, and yellow envelopes denote neutral events.
+
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.
  
−
Clicking an envelope will open up the message with a description of the event, and the option to either dismiss the notification or, where possible, go to the location of the event. Alternatively, notification messages can be dismissed without opening via right click.

These events can take place from Base Builder difficulty onwards.
+
=== Storyteller events ===
 +
These events are controlled by the selected [[storyteller]]. Major and Weather events require at least the Builder [[difficulty]] to be able to trigger.
  
−
Commonly known as a raid, this event comes in several types. The size of a raid is determined by your colony's wealth, and the difficulty setting of the AI Storyteller. It is possible for multiple raids to occur at the same time, possibly to the benefit of the player if both raids are from opposing factions.

Due to wiki limitations, it isn't possible to link directly to a collapsed section. To address that, this toggle will open all relevant sections.

Assault raids arrive either via the edge of the map or by drop pod. They may assault the colony immediately, or stage for a time before launching their attack, allowing colonists time to take up defensive positions, or to skirmish/counter assault the attackers.

=== Anomaly events ===
 +
{{Anomaly}}
 +
:{{For|the complete list of events|Events/Anomaly}}
  
−
Siege raids typically have a party of raiders arrive and set up a small camp along the edge of the map with a number of sandbag walls and mortars which could be [[Mortar|explosive]] or [[Incendiary mortar|incendiary]]. They will fire upon colonists, colony structures and any visitors or other raiders from factions they are hostile to, only stopping to eat and sleep.
+
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.
  
−
Siege parties will abandon their camp and any remaining construction to assault the colony when their siege weapons are destroyed or they suffer significant casualties. Any remaining supplies and objects from their camp can be claimed, deconstructed and used by the player.
+
== 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]].  
  
−
=== [[Infestation]] ===
+
[[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.
  
−
A bug [[hive]] has emerged! It will slowly spawn [[insectoids|bugs]] as well as produce additional hives. 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.
+
<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>
  
−
Infestations will only spawn under an overhead mountain. If all insects are killed, the hives will slowly die out after a while. Hives also bring glow pods that glow for 20 days (as long as they’re installed) and can be reinstalled or sold.
+
<div class="mw-collapsible" id="mw-customcollapsible-Majorthreats"><!-- mw-collapsed -->
  
−
Hives also produce insect Jelly, so if you could trap the hives via walls and doors, you could potentially farm the insect Jelly, though the insects are liable to digging out.
+
=== 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}}).
  
−
[[File:Infestation.png|400px]]
+
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.

=== Manhunter Pack ===
+
=== 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.
  
−
This event can take place from Base Builder difficulty onwards.
+
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.
  
−
A pack of man-hunting animals have entered the area. They will roam the region, hunting for humanoid flesh. If they see a colonist run behind a door, they will attempt to beat down the door. They'll leave the area in a few days.  
+
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".
  
−
A manhunter pack has 40% more points allocated to enemy spawning than an ordinary raid (i.e. a manhunter pack is 40% bigger than a standard raid), and animals from manhunter packs will congregate around your base for anywhere from 24 to 54 in-game hours before they all leave. While this is a negative event, it can be turned useful for taming as wounded animals can be healed and tamed afterwards. As well as to butcher meat, killed hostiles are better hauled after the remaining ones fall asleep since they won`t rotten until 2 days have passed, there`s no need to rush for spoils.

{{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.
  
−
* Boars, Wargs or anything that runs faster than a baseline human can be very problematic to deal with even with moderately-well defended colonies because they can easily outrun humans, and they all typically arrive in very large numbers meaning they can easily overwhelm a colony.
+
===== Arrival methods =====
−
* Explosive animals, especially [[boomalope]]s, are arguably easier to deal with in larger numbers as chain reactions can easily happen because of their large 3-square blast radius, meaning that even packs excess of 40 boomalopes can trivially be dealt with by half a dozen of people armed with automatic weapons (e.g. Charge Rifles, LMGs, Miniguns etc.)
+
Tribal-level factions can't use drop pods, so are limited to assaults.
  
−
[[File:Manhunter pack.png|400px]]
+
* '''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.
  
−
=== Psychic Ship ===
+
===== Types =====
 +
* '''Smart''': "Unusually clever" raiders will seek to enter your base while avoiding [[trap]]s and [[turret]]s.
 +
* '''Sappers''': Sappers will mine or destroy walls to create the shortest route to a colonist's bedroom. Groups of sappers are smaller in number than the other raid types.
 +
* '''Breachers''': Appear 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.
  
−
This event sees a massive piece of an ancient ship crash down to the surface near (or even in) the colony. This ship part happens to contain a hostile AI core that emits a psychic drone that negatively affects the [[mood]] of all humans on the map. This drone begins low, but grows progressively stronger the longer the ship part remains, therefore it is advisable to destroy the part as quickly as possible. A colonist's psychic sensitivity [[traits]] may worsen or lessen the effect of the drone.

−
The AI is also capable of emitting concentrated bursts of psychic energy, driving one colonist to an immediate mental break, or a localized blast that drives all animals in the immediate vicinity insane.
+
==== 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.
  
−
Upon attacking the part however, a group of mechanoids will emerge to defend the crashed ship part and its AI core. The size of the group is dependent on colony wealth and storyteller difficulty.
+
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.
  
−
When destroyed the ship drops an [[AI persona core]].  They are very valuable and are a necessary component to build the [[ship computer core]].
+
Strategies to force sieges to attack include the [[sniper rifle]] (watch out for other snipers), a [[psychic animal pulser]], or your own [[mortar]]s.
  
−
=== Psychic Wave ===
+
=== 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.
  
−
A psychic wave is a pulse of psychic energy that immediately drives a number of the local [[animals|wildlife]] insane, causing them to attack the nearest human, and any animal that happens to be standing in their way. A psychic wave is not to be laughed at - most of the wildlife in RimWorld is quite fast, and can close the gap to a colonist before they can get off a second shot, often leading to the colonist being overwhelmed.
+
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.
  
−
== Special ==
+
The [[#Too Deep: Infestation|Too Deep: Infestation]] is a separate event. [[Insect]]s can still arrive, but this event has separate mechanics.
−
Special events only occur during certain circumstances.
 
  
−
=== Ancient Danger ===
+
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.
−
This event is related to map generation and may not appear on every map. It may occur more than once per map.
 
  
−
''"As (Colonist Name) draws near the ancient wall a sense of foreboding overcomes him. (S)He isn't sure why, but (s)he feels this dusty structure may contain great dangers"'' -message that appears when the first colonist walks near
 
  
−
A [[Ancient structure|walled out area]] of the map that can contain either [[cryptosleep casket]]s, [[insectoids|bugs]], [[mechanoid]]s, treasure, or some combination of those. Open at your own risk by blowing a hole in the wall or deconstructing a section. The [[cryptosleep casket]]s usually contain humans, but may be empty. Opening or attacking any casket will cause all the others to open instantly.  The people inside the caskets may or may not be dead.  If alive, they may or may not be armed and hostile.  It's even possible for pawns incapable of Violent to melee attack.  If they are not hostile and can walk, they will try to escape.  Any alive spacers inside may be captured and recruited, with usually a low recruitment difficulty percentage.
+
=== 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".
  
−
Pod people sometimes come with [[plasteel]], [[component]]s, and [[gold]]. [[luciferium]] can be found in these buildings.  Ancient structures may include other treasures like psychic lances and pulsers. The caskets can be claimed and used or deconstructed by the colony.
+
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.
  
−
=== Friendlies ===
+
[[File:Manhunter pack.png|300px|Manhunting [[warg]]s]]
  
−
This event occurs during raids randomly, only if relations with other factions are friendly and also during [[Thrumbo]] revenge.
+
=== 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.
  
−
When hostiles appear, friendly factions may send fighters on their own will to assist you at no cost, so long as the  relations between the friendly faction and the raiders are negative. They won`t assist against their friendly factions. However, keep in mind that friendly fire will damage your relations with the aiding faction and on the other hand, rescuing their downed people will improve relations.
+
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.
  
−

=== Precious minerals found ===
+
=== Crashed ship part ===
−
This event may only occur once the [[long-range mineral scanner]] is built, and even then on average once every 30 days.
+
----
 +
{{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.
  
−
Your scanner has found precious minerals nearby, either gold, silver or jade. Once colonists reach the spot, a temporary map will be generated with the precious mineral lump in the middle.  The minerals will usually be guarded either by pirates or a manhunter pack.
+
==== 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.
  
−
===Refugee Chased at (Settlement)===
+
==== Psychic ship ====
−
This event will not trigger if the colony doesn't have hostile relations with any faction.  Pirate band factions should always be hostile since any attempt to improve relations with them is disregarded by design.
+
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.
  
−
When this event triggers a window appears stating that an individual calls you via radio from nearby, seeking refuge from a faction that is hostile to you and chasing them. The player may choose 'Offer safety' or 'Ignore the message'. Ignoring the message will end the event. Offering safety will spawn the individual as a colonist at the map's edge who proceeds towards the colony. Shortly thereafter, the pursuing faction arrives in the form of a raid entering the map where the refugee appeared.  The number of pursuing attackers depends on the current size and strength of the colony.
+
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.
  
−
The new colonist will usually be poorly armed and clothed.
+
====== 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.

{{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 ===

When this event occurs, a colonist is suddenly revealed to be an agent of one of the colony's enemies - they will attempt to flee, but can be recaptured (and/or punished) before they do so.

{{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.
  
−
===Zzztt...===

</div>
  
−
This event can only occur if there is at least one battery with stored power and connected to an active power grid with a power conduit.
 
  
−
At any moment, a power conduit may suffer a fault, causing it to explode and expel all stored power in the attached circuit in the process.  The amount of stored power directly affects the size of the explosion, up to a maximum of 15 squares in diameter from a total of 90,000 Wd stored. The explosion can damage any nearby structures, items and colonists, as well as catch anything flammable nearby on fire.  The explosion will often completely destroy the one section of power conduit where it occurred, cutting off power to anything past it unless there is another path for the electricity to flow around this damage.  Laying redundant pathways throughout your colony prevents this.
+
== 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>
  
−
In addition to the explosion and fire, it will completely empty all batteries attached to that circuit. Isolated batteries will not be discharged.  If this event happens at night and your colony is dependent on solar power, then you may be without power until morning.  This could affect your crops growing in greenhouses or hydroponics basins, as well as heaters and coolers.

==Small Threats==

=== Flashstorm ===
 +
----
 +
[[File:FlashstormScreenshot.png|300px|thumb|left]]
 +
"''A freak localized storm is blasting a small area with repeated lightning strikes.''"
  
−
===Animal Revenge===
+
'''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.
  
−
An animal that was harmed will go mad and target whomever hurt it.  The game will notify you if such an animal chosen for Hunting will likely attack if harmed, usually predators.  Occasionally, all nearby pack members of that animal's species may start attacking their attacker, possibly killing them.
+
This can also be caused by the [[Psycasts#Flashstorm|Flashstorm]] Psycast {{RoyaltyIcon}}, but will not show up as a notification.

===Mad Animal===
+
=== 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.''"
  
−
When this event occurs, a single random animal on the map is driven insane. Like with the psychic wave, the insane animal will charge toward the nearest human, attacking any other animal or obstacle (doors, etc.) in its way. This event is particularly dangerous if a Boomalope or Boomrat turns, as they explode upon death and the latter can also reliably catch up to an unmodified human regardless of traits.
+
'''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.  
  
−
== General Bad ==
+
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.
  
−
=== Alphabeavers ===
+
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]].
  
−
A group of ravenous wood-munching [[alphabeaver]]s appears at the edge of the map. They will continually eat [[trees]] (including any you're farming) and [[Saguaro_cactus|Saguaro cacti]] until they consume them all, unless you eradicate them first.
+
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.
  
−
It is recommended to bring more than one colonist to exterminate them if you choose to. If one turns manhunter, the whole pack will become manhunters, which can turn individually weak beavers into a small army of killing machines.

=== 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.''"
  
−
=== Area revealed (red envelope) ===
+
'''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.
−
A new area has been revealed. It contains ancient, hostile [[mechanoid]]s. Contrary to its blue envelope counterpart, this one has threat.
 
  
−
[[File:Area revealed red.png|400px]]
+
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.

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.

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.

==== Ambrosia sprout ====
−
Character gains an age-related illness such as a bad back or cataracts.
+

 +
[[{{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.
  
−
Due to age or a pre-existing health condition, they can also have a [[Injury#Heart_Attack|heart attack]].

+
==== Animals join ====
 +
Tamed dogs or [[farm animals]] from off-map join your colony.
  
−
This event destroys most if not all of the colony's planted crops across the map, including hydroponic crops grown indoors. Be sure to keep a reserve of food to counter the issue or resort to hunting until more food can be grown.
+
==== 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.
  
−
[[Devilstrand mushroom]]s are immune to this event. Any trees in your growing zones that are native to the biome are spared, but not other trees you may be growing.
+
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.
−

=== Bonded animal's death ===
+
==== Aurora ====
−
An animal with bond to a colonist dies, affecting mood negatively.
+
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.
  
−
This isn't a random event on its own, instead being a possible consequence to them. It can occur by slaughtering, euthanizing or intentionally attacking the animal. Wild predators may hunt and kill your animals, including bonded ones.  Enemies may target your animals during attacks or even hit them unintentionally while shooting at your colonists. Bonded animals can also fall into traps.
+
Despite the event text stating that it will "make the night brighter", it does not actually affect the light level.
  
−
[[File:Bonded animals death.png|300px|thumb|none|Bonded animal dies affecting the owner's mood.]]
+
==== 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}}
  
−
=== Bonded master's death ===
+
==== Herd migration: (Animal) ====
−
The exact reverse of a bonded animal's death. This time, it's the master who dies, through causes such as enemy raids or disease.
+
[[File:Thrumbo herd migration.png|300px|right]]
  
−
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.
+
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.
  
−
=== Caravan Ambushed / (manhunters) ===
+
This event only occurs in the following biomes:
  
−
While travelling, one of your [[caravan]]s will be attacked.  The game will give you a mini map to defend it.
+
<div style="column-count:3; width:350px;">
 +
* [[Sea ice]]
 +
* [[Ice sheet]]
 +
* [[Tundra]]
 +
* [[Desert]]
 +
* [[Extreme desert]]
  
−
The attackers can be an enemy faction lying in ambush or a rampaging manhunter pack your caravan unfortunately trespasses upon.
+
</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.
  
−
=== Caravan destroyed ===
+
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.
  
−
All members of your cavern had died.
+
==== Psychic soothe ====
 +
[[File:Psychic soothe.png|300px|right]]
  
−
[[File:Caravan destroyed.png|400px]]
+
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.

 +
==== (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.
  
−
=== Cold Snap ===
+
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.
  
−
A cold snap makes the [[temperature]] of a colony drop for several days.  Colonists will complain about the cold, especially sleeping in it if their rooms are not properly heated.  
+
==== (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.
  
−
While this is generally good for item preservation, it can kill off crops, influence colonist moods and cause 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, predators may attack colonists and tame animals. Snowing may also happen, depositing thick snow that can slow down outdoor movement significantly.
+
==== 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.
 +
The pawn can also be a [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} that doesn't have any factions on the planet.{{Check Tag|Detail needed|Which xenotypes specifically can be used? All the default types? Wb Sanguo? Wb preferred xenotypes? Wb custom ones from made during game genration? Wb custom ones made after?}}
  
−
[[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.
+
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.
  
−
=== Demand ===
+
===== 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.
  
−
Pirates approach your caravan and demand that you give them items and hand over members as slaves. If you don't they will proceed to assault the caravan.
+
===== 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}}
  
−
You can see the number of pirates when they are demanding you hand over items.
+
==== 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.
  
−
=== Disease (Name) ===
+
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.
  
−
Several of your colonists and/or prisoners will be afflicted with a [[disease]]. The chance, frequency of which disease they are infected with depends on the biome, and the number depends on the disease and the cruelty of the storyteller. Only humanlikes can catch infectious diseases.

−
Non-blunt trauma wounds, treated or not, also have a chance to get [[infection|infected]]. The chance depends on treatment quality and environment. Animals can also catch infections at a greatly reduced rate.
+
==== 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.
  
−
=== Eclipse ===
+
Wild humans have a 50% chance of attacking when harmed, and 10% if taming fails.
  
−
During a solar eclipse, solar generators cease producing power, and outdoor crops stop growing. Be sure to have power and food stored for times like these, or an eclipse coupled with a raid could be the death of an unprepared colony.
+
These wild (wo)men may have random Ideoligion with [[Ideology]].
  
−
=== Flashstorm ===
+
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.
−
A localized, intense lightning storm in one area of the map. Causes big [[fire]]s. Clicking the envelope icon offers the option to jump to the location where the strikes will be.

=== [[Heart]] attack ===
+
==== Traveler Visit ====
 +
{{:Traveler}}
  
−
A character or tamed animal suffers a [[Injury#Heart_Attack|heart attack]]. Characters will go to rest to any bed assigned to Medical instead of returning to his or her own assigned bed and animals will return to the nearest empty animal bed or sleeping spot. Doctors will then proceed to attempt to resuscitate the victim, using medicine up to their assigned medicine level if available.
+
==== 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.
  
−
During a heart attack, people or animals can fall unconscious or even die if not treated in time.
+
Sometimes there will be a singular visitor. In this case, the game will notify you of the backstory of that visitor.

=== Heat Wave ===
+
==== 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 heat wave sweeps the colony, driving [[temperature]] up for several days. Colonists will complain about the heat, especially sleeping in it if their rooms are not properly cooled. Additionally, things might rot in [[Temperature#Freezer_Tips|inadequately cooled freezers]]. There is also a chance for a fire to randomly appear on the map which can quickly spread and burn down an entire colony.
+
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.
  
−
Heat waves sometimes can be deadly to unprepared colonies, mostly tribal ones since they have it harder to build air conditioners since they start without that technology and it takes longer to unlock it.  For them it's advised to use passive coolers in rooms or food stockpiles to prevent food from rotting quickly and colonists and animals from getting a heatstroke.  [[Duster]]s and [[cowboy hat]]s provide heat insulation for colonists, protecting them while they're awake, though they don't affect mood caused by sleeping in hot areas.
+
==== 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.
  
−
Additionally some animals will leave the map if the temperature gets higher than they can stand.

One of your colonists has had it and has a [[Mood#Mental breakdowns|mental break]].  During this time, they will be unavailable for colony work and may possibly cause more trouble for themselves or others, depending on the type of break.
+
==== 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.
  
−
=== [[Overdose]]: (Colonist) ===
+
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.
  
−
One of your colonists or animals has taken too many drugs in a short amount of time and potentially permanent damage or death could occur.
+
The beavers will continue eating until there are no trees left, unless you eradicate them or they're driven off the map by temperature.
  
−
=== Poison ship ===
+
==== 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.
  
−
A Poison Ship event kills plants in an expanding circle, eventually reaching the entire map. Do not confuse this with the plant killing snow aura present on both Poison Ships and Ancient Crashed Ships. The poison kill crops randomly, including plants grown in [[Hydroponics basin]]s. The affected areas will ultimately have dramatically reduced chances of maturing simple crops, and slower crops will end up nearly impossible to grow.
+
Due to age or a pre-existing health condition, they can also have a [[heart attack]].

==== Blight ====
 +
{{main|Blight}}
 +
[[File:Crop blight.png|200px|thumb|right|Blighted crops with an indicator above them.]]
  
−
=== Prison break ===
+
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.
  
−
Prisoners have staged a breakout! They have somehow defeated the door lock and are making their way out. They may seek weapons, fight, or try to escape. Prisoners are more likely to attempt breakout when they are unhappy, numerous, and healthy.
+
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.
−
[[File:Prison break.png|300px|thumb|none|Prison break]]

=== Psychic Drone ===
+
It will not reoccur for 30 days.
  
−
Drone in this case does not refer to "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle" but instead "To produce a low-pitched hum or buzz."
+
==== 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]].
  
−
A Psychic Drone phenomenon affects all colonists of a randomly chosen gender, negatively influencing their mood. Colonists have no choice but to endure it as the point of origin is off map. Psychic sensitivity [[traits]] can be a big factor in the threat posed by this event. There`s also a positive version called [[Events#Psychic_Soothe|Psychic soothe]].
+
[[Traits#Sickly|Sickly]] pawns will get sick with a MTB of 30 days, independently of the rest of your colonists.
  
−
=== Rejected proposal ===
+
==== 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.
  
−
After two characters [[Events#New_lovers|fall in love]], one of them proposed marriage but is turned down. The proposing side suffer a mood penalty of -18 for a seasons and 10 days.
+
If reliant on solar power, make sure to have [[battery|batteries]] for times like these, or an eclipse raid can be extra threatening.
  
−
[[File:Rejected proposal.png|400px]]
+
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
  
−
=== Roof collapsed ===
+
==== 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.
  
−
All roofs must be supported by a wall or rock within 6 spaces with roof sections in between itself and that wall or rock. If either of these conditions changes, then the roof will collapse.
+
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.
  
−
If nothing is crushed by the roof then a simple notification will trigger. If something (be it an item or a colonist) was hit then they will take damage and an alert will trigger.
+
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.
  
−
If demolishing a building, it's recommended to use the Expand No Roof Area tool to remove the roof first before deconstructing the walls.
+
==== 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.  
  
−
=== Solar Flare ===
+
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.
  
−
Solar flares cause all electrical items on the map to stop working for the duration of the event. Solar flares are particularly dangerous for colonies that rely on turrets for defense, as they will be vulnerable to any raid that arrives during the solar flare.
+
[[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.
  
−
During the summer, they will cause coolers to fail, causing any frozen perishable goods to begin spoiling; in cold areas, heaters will fail causing ground based greenhouse crops to quickly die as well, this can be abated with campfires though. Colonists will also be at risk of getting heatstroke or hypothermia if you're in an area with extreme temperatures and don't have other temperature control devices.
+
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.
  
−
Crops grown in hydroponic basins will rapidly die regardless of the temperature. It's recommended to quickly Harvest any crops that can't be saved before they die.
 
  
−
=== Toxic Fallout ===
+
==== 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.
  
−
A distant chemical fire has released a plume of poison over this entire region. Any person or creature not under a roof will be slowly [[Ailments#Toxic_Buildup|sickened]] by the toxic dust settling out of the atmosphere. It will last for anywhere between a few days to over a month.
+
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.
  
−
Plants will wither under the fallout. This event will usually wipe out all wild animals and poses a serious danger to tamed ones unless they are restricted to an area under a roof.
+
==== Psychic drone ====
−
Toxic Buildup, which is caused by toxic fallout, can cause [[Injury#Old_Age|dementia]], and eventually a carcinoma (according to game files) if it progresses far enough. However, the latter is treatable via a lengthy operation with the use of at least [[Medicine]], or removed via a surgery.
+
{{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.
  
−
If you are running low on food, wait for animals to die and then butcher their corpses.
+
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.
  
−
[[File:Toxic fallout.png|400px]]
+
* 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}}
  
−
=== Volcanic Winter ===
+
Due to its length, most of the adverse effects are manageable.
  
−
''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.''
+
==== 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.
  
−
Solar panels will not produce as much power. Volcanic Winters also appear to significantly reduce the inflow of wildlife (observed in a Temperate Forest, 300x300, very few animals came in from Spring-Summer when there'd normally be many), which can easily lead to meat shortages and famine if you don't have sufficiently large farms for your colony.
+
The following buildings short circuit due to weather:

When the event finishes the message: "Most of the volcanic ash has settled." will be displayed.
+
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.  
  
−
== General Good ==
+
The explosion radius is controlled by the following equation:
  
−
=== Ambrosia sprout ===
+
{| class="wikitable"
 +
| '''Explosion Radius''' = '''clamp'''( '''sqrt'''(Sum of all stored power) * 0.05, 1.5, 14.9)
 +
|}
  
−
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 fruit.
+
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.

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) ====
−
[[File:Animals join.png|400px|thumb|none|Animals join]]
+
{{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.
  
−
=== Animal self-tamed ===  
+
==== 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.

== Incidental Events ==
 +
:{{For|a detailed list of these events|Events/Incidental}}
 +
These events aren't triggered by the [[storyteller]]. Instead, they come from various other game mechanics.
 +
For purposes of the wiki, these are divided in good, bad, faction, informational, and social events.
  
−
Previously tamed animals which return to the colony can self-tame. When doing so they retain all training they previously had.
+
== World incidents ==
 +
:{{For|a guide to survive these events|World Quests Guide}}

−
=== Area revealed (blue envelope) ===
+
<div id="mw-customcollapsible-WorldEvents" class="mw-collapsible"><!-- mw-collapsed -->
  
−
A hidden area has been opened up on the map. It's often associated with deconstructing a wall section of an [[#Ancient_Danger|Ancient Danger]], which are usually easy to find due to their rectangular shape.
+
==== Attack begun ====
 +
This notification will appear when a [[caravan]] has arrived at a settlement chosen for attacking.
  
−
It can also occur with mining, sometimes by accident, but sometimes entrances to these areas can be seen on the map.  Look along the edges of a mountain for one or more visible edge blocks facing inward. Mining this section out can reveal new mineral riches, new farmland, new animals, new threats... or absolutely nothing.

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.
  
−
=== Caravan request ===
+
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.
  
−
Other friendly factions may make a special trade request of you. The popup will specify which goods they want and the price they're willing to pay for them.
+
==== Caravan ambushed / (manhunters) ====
 +
While traveling, one of your [[caravan]]s are attacked. The game will give you a mini map to defend it.
  
−
=== Cargo pods ===
+
The attackers can be an enemy faction lying in ambush or a rampaging manhunter pack your caravan unfortunately trespasses upon.
  
−
From time to time, cargo pods from the wreckage of the ship will fall out of orbit and land on your map. Each drop will contain only one type of resource in a random amount.  The remains of the pods become pieces of slag, 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 and structures.
+
===== Caravan battle won =====
 +
This event will tell you if your people won their fight, and can reform the caravan on the world map.
  
−
[[File:Cargo pods.png|400px]]
+
==== Caravan arrived at (Location) ====
 +
This is a simple notification that your caravan has arrived at their destination.
  
−
=== Escape Pod ===
+
==== 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.
  
−
Rarely, an escape pod will crash land nearby. The occupant will be incapacitated, but can be rescued and treated or be [[Prisoner|captured]] and possibly recruited into the colony. It's possible for the person to be related to someone in the colony. This is indicated on the notice as <tt>Escape pod (relationship)</tt>.  Usually, this pawn will join the colony once healed.  Still, the pawn has the opportunity to walk off on their own once healed.  If you do nothing, they have the same opportunity to stand on their own after awhile and walk off, depending on their injuries.
+
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}}
  
−
For a near-guaranteed way to recruit them, capture rather than rescue them. Their recruitment difficulty percentage is usually low and this will also train your warden's Social skill.
+
==== 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.
  
−
[[File:Rescuee joined your group.png|400px|thumb|none|Since you rescued him/her. Character joined your group!]]
+
==== 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.
  
−
=== Friendly AI ===
+
==== 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.
  
−
Later in-game, friendly AI will contact the colony and reveal the location of a working [[ship]] that the colonists can use to escape this Rimworld.  The ship is located in a map tile that is always far away, usually requiring several stops along the way to resupply.
+
You can see their number when they are demanding you hand over items.
  
−
This event occurs only once.
+
==== Peace talks ====
 +
[[File:Peace talks.png|thumb|right|300px]]
  
−
=== Goodwill ===
+
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.
  
−
This notification will appear once relations have been improved with a Hostile faction enough that they will no longer be hostile.  Common ways to improve relations include releasing prisoners from their faction or gifting silver via the [[comms console]]. Note that released prisoners must leave the map safely to receive the bonus.
+
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.
  
−
=== Item Stash Opportunity (Time Remaining) ===
+
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.
  
−
Another faction leader will offer to tell you for a price the location of a cache of items nearby on the map. The items will often be guarded and others will gather the items first if you aren't fast enough getting to them.

−
Note that you must have enough silver near an [[orbital trade beacon]] to pay the price. Oddly enough, you can receive this message from the other factions without building a comms console.
+
===== 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.
  
−
It is possible that the stash generates with an initially hostile faction guarding it, but that the faction later turns friendly. If so, the guarding members will spawn as friendly and will not attack your faction members.
+
* 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.
  
−
=== Marriage is on! ===
+
The new weight of each outcome is calculated afterwards.
−
A couple that has been together for awhile will announce their engagement.  The wedding will take place some time in the future. This allows players to have enough preparation time to build a [[Marriage spot]] if they choose.  If not, any Gather Spot will do. When the day of the wedding arrives, it will take place regardless of the entire colony's attendance.
 
  
−
Colonists who do not reach the meeting point on time, such as those sleeping, fighting fires or lying incapacitated in bed, will not gain the mood buffs. A quick Draft and Undraft should be enough to distract all capable colonists to attend. Colonists in caravans cannot attend.
+
* 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.
  
−
If the couple happens to be busy at the exact moment the wedding is to take place, for example, because they are loading a caravan, those who are not members of the trade group will remain waiting at attendance and perform no task at all except for eating until the couple comes back. This can cause characters to get binges and no wardens or doctors looking out for prisoners can easily let captives break out.
+
Finally, the probability of each outcome is calculated:
  
−
[[File:Marriage is on.png|400px]]
+
{{Math|big=0|Probability of each outcome {{=}} New Weight &divide; Sum Total of Weights}}
  
−
=== New lovers ===
+
<div class="mw-customtoggle-PeaceTalkEx" style="display:inline-block;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.5);color:white;padding:10px;border-radius:5px;outline:none;user-select:none">Example</div>
−
[[File:New lovers.png|250px|thumb|none|A character woos another into a romance and she agrees]]
 
−
Two characters fall in love.  Build them a 2 pawn bed and assign it so they can sleep together.  This avoids a mood debuff for both colonists and occasionally gains them another buff.

You'll get this notification whenever a Warden has succeeded in recruiting a prisoner.

# 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%

=== Party ===
+
==== 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.
  
−
One of your colonists will throw a party, improving the moods of all attendees for some time and providing an opportunity for rapid Social changes.  They will usually have [[beer]]s and [[smokeleaf joint]]s if available.  Note that the player may have to wake up any sleeping colonists such as Night Owls or otherwise distract other colonists from their work so that they attend the party.  An easy way to do this is by quickly drafting and undrafting them.
+
=== 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.
  
−
Colonists will continually get stacking mood buffs while enjoying themselves at a party. Each stack adds +1 to mood, lasts 10 days and stacks up to 15 times.
+
==== 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}}
  
−
The party by default will happen around an item checked as a Gather Spot such as a table, but may be overridden by building a [[party spot]].
+
==== 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>
  
−
Similar to marriage ceremonies, characters that do not reach the party on time don't get the mood buffs.
+
== Game endings ==

=== Psychic Soothe ===
+
==== 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.
  
−
When this event triggers it gives a positive mood modifier (+15) to all colonists of a randomly chosen sex. The event lasts between 1.5 to 3.5 days. It can be considered the opposite of the [[#Psychic Drone|Psychic Drone]].
+
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.

=== Quest completed ===
+
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.

"''An interstellar planetkiller weapon is approaching this planet. It will smash the planet apart like a rifle bullet hitting an egg, annihilating all life.''"
  
−
=== Traders ===
+
This event can only happen by configuring the starting scenario.
  
−
Traders from other non-hostile factions can stop by your colony, whether specifically requested via the [[comms console]] or randomly on their own.
+
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.
  
−
=== Trade Ship In Range ===
+
Unlike your regular 'Game Over', you cannot continue the game. Saved games (including permadeath) can be continued from their last saves, however.
 +
{{Clear}}
  
−
When an orbital [[trade]] ship passes near the colony, players may spend silver to obtain resources or weapons, or alternately sell excess resources or weapons for silver.  You will only receive this notification if you have built a [[comms console]] and it's powered.
+
==== Ending - The Archonexus Core ====
 +
For specifics, see [[Endings#The_Archonexus]].
  
−
You need to build [[orbital trade beacon]]s so you can beam items up to the ship to actually carry out transactions. You can still check the items for sale even without them however.
+
Once it happens, your colony is succesfully noticed by an archotech. What happens next is left to especulation.
  
−
==== Pirate Merchant In Range ====
+
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>
  
−
Slave traders are rarer than regular traders.  They traffic in that most precious of cargo: fresh colonists. Players can also sell unwanted prisoners to slave traders, however any colonists without the psychopath trait will suffer a mood penalty for doing so and the colonist doing the selling will receive a social penalty.  As with regular trade ships, you will only receive this notification if you have built a [[comms console]] and it's powered.

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.

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.

=== Affair ===
+
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.
−
Somebody who is already married starts an affair with a single person.

This is one of the only situations where animals can have non-manhunter mental breaks.
  
−
=== Attack begun ===
+
=== Breakdown: (Machine) ===
 +
In previous versions, this was its own event. Now it's just a notification.
  
−
This notification will appear when a [[caravan]] has arrived at a settlement chosen for attacking.
+
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.
  
−
=== Caravan Ready ===
+
This only applies to machines using electricity.
−
 
 
−
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.

=== Leader Replaced: (Faction) ===
 
  
−
Occasionally, the leader of another faction will die or be replaced. The popup window will announce his or her successor.
+
=== 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]].
  
−
This will also happen if the leader comes to raid your base, and is either killed in action or captured and recruited.
+
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.
  
−
=== Rare Thrumbos ===
+
Naturally forming tornadoes are exclusive to Beta 18. You can still use the [[Tornado generator]] to spawn them in for defense purposes.
 +
</div>
  
−
One or more [[thrumbo]]s will spawn at the edge of the map, staying around for awhile to eat anything they can, including your crops. The player can attempt to hunt or tame them, both of which are very difficult.  If no action is taken, they will leave on their own after a few days.
+
== Event data ==

This isn't an event on its own, but rather an addition to other events that involve other pawns.  In any event with other factions, there is a chance that one or a few of the visitors or raiders may be related to existing colonists.
 
−
 
−
=== Visitors ===
 
−
 
−
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 awhile.  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.  Still, their arrival could prove advantageous if the colony is assaulted by a mutual enemy while they are present.
 
−
 
−
Sometimes there will be a singular visitor. In this case, the game will notify you of the backstory of that visitor.

This article is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Ideology events. Recover lost content from major rewrite OR revert to prior to rewrite.
For a guide to survive events, see Events Guide.

Events are driven by the currently selected AI storyteller.

Most events that occur create a 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.

Event List [edit]

For ease of navigation, events are subdivided into 3 groups: Storyteller events, Incidental events, and World events.

Storyteller events[edit]

These events are controlled by the selected storyteller. Major and Weather events require at least the Builder difficulty to be able to trigger.

Due to wiki limitations, it isn't possible to link directly to a collapsed section. To address that, this toggle will open all relevant sections.

World events[edit]

For a guide to survive these events, see World Quests Guide.

This is a list of all events that can happen while on the overworld. Some events require a quest to trigger. Sub events are not quest events on their own, but may happen during other world events such as Incapacitated Refugee or Item Stash Opportunity.

Due to wiki limitations, it isn't possible to link directly to a collapsed section. To address that, this toggle will open all relevant sections.

Anomaly events[edit]

AnomalyIcon.png
This article relates to content added by Anomaly (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.
For the complete list of events, see Events/Anomaly.

Events from the AnomalyContent added by the Anomaly DLC 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[edit]

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.

Show/Hide Major Events

Major threats generation[edit]

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 DLCContent added by the Biotech DLC).

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 Weights
Raid type Vanilla DLC enabled
Raid 7.40 7.40
DefoliatorShip 2.00 0.40
DronerShip 2.00 0.40
MechCluster Content added by the Royalty DLC 0.00 1.90
Manhunter 2.00 2.00
MassInsanity 1.30 1.30
Infest 2.70 2.70
Wastepack Infest Content added by the Biotech DLC 0.00 0.024
Problem Causer Content added by the Royalty DLC 0.00 0.95

Raid Generation[edit]

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[edit]

Main article: 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. Raiders 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. Mechanoids will persist indefinitely.

Arrival methods[edit]

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 unroofed 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[edit]
  • Smart: "Unusually clever" raiders will seek to enter your base while avoiding traps and turrets.
  • Sappers: Sappers will mine or destroy walls to create the shortest route to a colonist's bedroom. Groups of sappers are smaller in number than the other raid types.
  • Breachers: Appear with breach-type raiders, such as tribals with breach axes or termite mechanoids. Breachers will attack walls in their path indiscriminately, as opposed to sappers having a target.
  • Siege: See below.

  • Assault

  • Raided by (relationship) mom!

  • Drop pod sappers

  • Sappers

Siege[edit]

Sieges are a special type of raid. They arrive in drop pods, along with supplies. They will construct sandbags and mortars, 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 components) and prevent them from completing construction. This is largely possible with a psycasterContent added by the Royalty DLC 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 mortars.

Infestation[edit]

Main article: Infestation

Infestations come with hives and insectoids. 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 -17 °C (1.4 °F). Light, and temperatures below -8 °C (17.6 °F) reduce the chance of infestations.

The Too Deep: Infestation is a separate event. Insects can still arrive, but this event has separate mechanics.

The Wastepack infestations is a separate event available if BiotechContent added by the Biotech DLC is active. The end effect is similar, but the mechanics are different.


Manhunter pack[edit]

For the mental state that makes these animals hostile, see Manhunter.

A pack of scaria-infested animals have arrived, 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.

Manhunting wargs

Psychic wave[edit]

Appears as Mad Animals: (Animal name). Immediately drives local 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 variation that only affects a single animal, which is not considered a major threat.

Crashed ship part[edit]

For the help guide, see Defense structures#Crashed ships.
For information on the ship parts themselves, see Crashed ship parts.

A large piece of an ancient ship crashes nearby, along with a pack of mechanoids. 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[edit]

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 basins. Crops will end up nearly impossible to grow. If the Biotech DLC is active, this ship part will also generate PollutionContent added by the Biotech DLC from its center at a rate of 6~7 tiles per day.

Psychic ship[edit]

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[edit]

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.

This article relates to content added by Royalty (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.
Main article: Mech cluster

Mech clusters are similar to crashed ship parts with a more complex structure, with buildings like walls, turrets, and unstable power cells. 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 causers, such as sun blockers or EMP dynamos.

Problem causer[edit]

RoyaltyIcon.png
This article relates to content added by Royalty (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.
Main article: 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.


Extreme weather[edit]

These events alter the environmental conditions of the colony map, only able to appear from Base Builder difficulty onward.

Show/Hide Extreme Weather Events

Flashstorm[edit]

FlashstormScreenshot.png

"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 320 ticks (5.33 secs) to 800 ticks (13.33 secs). Once it finishes, no rain can fall until 30,000 ticks (8.33 mins) has passed. This can create big fires. 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 Flashstorm Psycast Content added by the Royalty DLC, but will not show up as a notification.

Toxic fallout[edit]

"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 moodlet 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,Content added by the Biotech DLC 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 treeContent added by the Royalty DLC, Anima grassContent added by the Royalty DLC, Gauranlen treeContent added by the Ideology DLC, Gauranlen podContent added by the Ideology DLC, Polux treeContent added by the Biotech DLC), 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 [57.51667 base damage ±15%]. Crops can be protected under a roof, but without a sun lamp, they'll rot anyways. Insectoids and mechanoids are fully immune.

  • Colonist acquired Dementia at 80% extreme level

Volcanic winter[edit]

"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 generators 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 7 °C (44.6 °F) and the light by 30% over the course of 50,000 ticks (13.89 mins). The wildlife density is cut by half, and pawns can no longer enjoy their time outside.


Random Events[edit]

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[edit]

Main article: 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[edit]

Show Good Random Events

Ambrosia sprout[edit]

An ambrosia sprout among the trees
Ambrosia bush.png

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 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:

Animals join[edit]

Tamed dogs or farm animals from off-map join your colony.

Animal self-tamed[edit]

Thrumbo self-tamed.png

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[edit]

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[edit]

Cargo pods.png

From time to time, cargo pods will fall out of orbit, containing a random amount of single type of resource. The remains of the pods become steel slag chunks, 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.

Herd migration: (Animal)[edit]

Thrumbo herd migration.png

A large herd of animals 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:

Party[edit]

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.[Detail] 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 beers and smokeleaf joints, if available, and eat meals 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[edit]

Psychic soothe.png

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, but does not have different levels of severity. It lasts between 1.5 and 3.0 days and will not reoccur for 15 days.

(Trader type)[edit]

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 beacons 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)[edit]

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[edit]

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. The pawn can also be a xenotypeContent added by the Biotech DLC that doesn't have any factions on the planet.[Detail needed]

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 capture a non-hostile person, but their faction (if not spacer) will turn hostile.

Paralytic abasia[edit]
RoyaltyIcon.png
This section relates to content added by Royalty (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

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[edit]
BiotechIcon.png
This section relates to content added by Biotech (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

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.

Wanderer joins[edit]

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 IdeologyContent added by the Ideology DLC, 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.

Wild (wo)man wanders in[edit]

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 Animals skill of 7. 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 enslaveContent added by the Ideology DLC 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.

  • Wild man wanders in

  • Wild man joins without "taming"

Traveler Visit[edit]

Occasionally, one or more members of a friendly faction will arrive, just passing through. They'll enter at one edge of the map and proceed across the map. They'll exit the map upon reaching another edge.

A drafted colonist can be directed to capture (arrest) one of the travelers. However, once the arresting colonist reaches the target, that entire faction will immediately turn extremely hostile, dropping to -76 Goodwill. This shift includes any other members of the same Faction currently there.


Visitor(s)[edit]

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[edit]

RoyaltyIcon.png
This section relates to content added by Royalty (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.
Main article: 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 prisoners in exchange for Honor.

Gauranlen pod sprout[edit]

IdeologyIcon.png
This section relates to content added by Ideology (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

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 pod will appear somewhere with the current map. Harvesting it yield 1-2 Gauranlen seed. This event occurs roughly every 60 days in every biome except Ice Sheets and Sea Ice, and this time is decreased to roughly every 30 days for 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[edit]

BiotechIcon.png
This section relates to content added by Biotech (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

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.

Bad[edit]

Show Bad Random Events

Beavers![edit]

A group of ravenous tree-munching alphabeavers 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 -40 °C (-40 °F). 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 cacti they can reach, including anima treesContent added by the Royalty DLC, gauranlen treesContent added by the Ideology DLC, polux treesContent added by the Biotech DLC and any trees you're farming. Alphabeavers will not and cannot eat the Wood wood item, wooden 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[edit]

Character gains an age-related illness, such as bad back or cataracts. They may be cured by using the healer mech serum, luciferium, a biosculpter podContent added by the Ideology DLC, or the Scarless geneContent added by the Biotech DLC. 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.

Blight[edit]

Main article: Blight
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. Trees, wild, decorative plants, and devilstrand mushrooms 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[edit]

Colonists (including prisoners and slavesContent added by the Ideology DLC) 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.

Sickly pawns will get sick with a MTB of 30 days, independently of the rest of your colonists.

Eclipse[edit]

A moon has moved in front of the sun, causing an eclipse. Without light, solar generators 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 batteries for times like these, or an eclipse raid can be extra threatening.

Pawns with the Eclipse: Beautiful preceptContent added by the Ideology DLC will receive a +5 moodlet for seeing an eclipse.

It will not reoccur for 15 days

Heat wave[edit]

StumpChoppedA (cropped).png
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Needs details. What's the chance for a fire to occur?.

A heat wave sweeps the colony, driving outdoor temperatures unusually high for 1.5 and 3.5 days. To be precise, the temperature will increase by 17 °C (62.6 °F) 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 20 °C (68 °F), and will not reoccur for 30 days.

The major risks are coolers failing to freeze food, and heat stroke to your colonists and animals. Summer clothing like cowboy hats and tribalwear can mitigate the heat, and passive coolers 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[edit]

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 20 °C (68 °F) over 12000 game ticks (4.8 in-game hours). It only occurs when the map's summer temperature is in the range of 0 °C – 15 °C (32 °F – 59 °F), 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 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.

Jackets, dusters, parkas and tuques 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[edit]

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[edit]

For the moodlet, see 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 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 helmets, drugs, and other mood-enhancers can help deal with the effects. Animals are not affected.

Solar flare[edit]

Solar flares cause all electrical devices to stop working for its duration, from 0.15 to 0.5 days. Wood-fired generators and chemfuel generators 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. Campfires and passive coolers 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 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 darknessContent added by the Anomaly DLC

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

Zzztt[edit]

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 rain or snow. Short-circuits not caused by rain/snow will not reoccur for 8 days. Short circuits do not affect 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:

Short circuits will either result in a fire, or, if any 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 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 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:

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.

Explosion radii per number of batteries filled

Unconnected batteries, such as through an open switch or on separate power network, will not be affected. Power networks which contain only 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)[edit]

AnomalyIcon.png
This section relates to content added by Anomaly (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

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[edit]

AnomalyIcon.png
This section relates to content added by Anomaly (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

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


Incidental Events[edit]

For a detailed list of these events, see Events/Incidental.

These events aren't triggered by the storyteller. Instead, they come from various other game mechanics. For purposes of the wiki, these are divided in good, bad, faction, informational, and social events.

World incidents[edit]

For a guide to survive these events, see World Quests Guide.

These are events related to/only triggered on the overworld.

Show/Hide World Events

Attack begun[edit]

This notification will appear when a caravan has arrived at a settlement chosen for attacking.

Bandit camp opportunity[edit]

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)[edit]

While traveling, one of your caravans 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[edit]

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

Caravan arrived at (Location)[edit]

This is a simple notification that your caravan has arrived at their destination.

Caravan lost[edit]

Caravan destroyed.png

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.

Caravan meeting by (Caravan ID)[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

Peace talks.png

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.

Result Description Base Weight
Peace talk triumph The peace talks were very successful, giving a great boost to relations from 50 to 75. In addition, the faction will give a farewell gift worth between 500 and 1500 silver.
Despite your triumph, if you don't manage to bring relations above 0, they will still remain hostile.		 0.1
Peace talk success The talks were a success, and relations between the factions have warmed somewhat, from 25 to 75. 0.55
Peace talk flounder The talks were neither successful nor a failure, and relations remain unchanged. 0.2
Peace talk backfire The peace talks backfired, and relations have gotten worse than they started, from -10 to -50 relations. 0.1
Peace talk disaster The peace talks have failed so miserably that the faction hates you a lot more now, with a -25 to -75 damage to relations, as well as instantly turning hostile if they aren't already. In addition, the angered faction sends a group of attackers after your negotiating party. 0.05
Outcome chances[edit]

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:

Probability of each outcome = New Weight ÷ Sum Total of Weights


Example

Take a level 15 Social negotiator as an example:

  1. The diplomacy power is 125%, corresponding to a bad outcome factor of 0.7.
  2. 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
  3. The sum total of new weights is calculated:
    • 0.143 + 0.786 + 0.2 + 0.07 + 0.035 = 1.234
  4. 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[edit]

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[edit]

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

Ambush[edit]

Incapacitated refugee Ambushed.png

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.

Sleeping mechanoids[edit]

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.

Game endings[edit]

When these happen, they signify that your game has ended, one way or another.

Game over[edit]

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 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 editor as the Wanderers (plural) 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.

Planetkiller[edit]

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.

Ending - The Archonexus Core[edit]

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.


Legacy events[edit]

Events from previous versions of RimWorld, now removed.

Bonded animal's death[edit]

Bonded animal dies affecting the owner's mood.

Both of these bonded death events were simplified into the 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.

Bonded master's death[edit]

Both of these bonded death events were simplified into the 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)[edit]

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[edit]

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 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.

Event data[edit]

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.
