List

Needs to be done list: (Feel free to do these if you know how!) (italic = minor, bold = major)

• Quickstart_Guide: Revised plan: guide based on generalized temperate landing with Extreme Cold and Extreme Heat biomes given separate pages. Work in progress. Darkphoenyx27
• Events page: Needs updating/more descriptions.
• AI storyteller: Needs updating. I updated all the code specifics for Alpha 13, don't know if anything else needs updating 16 May 2016 Peppsen (talk)
• Wiki Consistency: Some pages are not consistent with the current wiki's style. Find and update those pages.
• Alpha 9 Updates: Nearly all Alpha 9 updates have been added but a few still remain.
• Alpha 10 updates: "Joy System" All of the newly implemented features and tweaks
• Alpha 11 Updates: "Sappers and Traps" Same as above but for Alpha 11
• Alpha 12 Updates: "Animal Taming" All changes from blog post are listed below.
• Mods: Please keep adding mods from the forum to the Alpha 8 mod list
• Defs: Def elements might be something useful to add in for technical reference/modder wannabes. This stuff is being constantly revised and constructed upon, so it's your choice whether to make it its own page or to integrate it as part of another page (e.g. Colonist). I've only covered a small amount of defs (see Category:Defs for a list), and that was a year ago. Longbyte1 (talk) 05:05, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
• Main Page: RimWorld Logo needs updating to current. elStrages Appears to be current logo already, the top left logo can't be changed. Fernbhoy (talk)
• Wiki Icon: The 'O' icon needs updating to the one in the left nav or the one fomr the new logo elStrages
• Updated Wiki Navigation(Right side complete): I am in the process of adding navigation to the top of each page, It came about from the poor navigation bog at the bottom of the Architect page. elStrages
• Organs and Implants: Needs a page either in items or in the health tab. Place feedback bellow on ideas DONE, except for some regular body parts, Eye, Arm, Leg. (see Medical Items by Crystalline Cat) ~ Jimyoda (talk) 16:15, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
• "Drafting": Soldier page needs to be removed and drafting should be expanded. CheesusGamer
  • feedback here
    • Please note that pages for human body parts (i.e. Bionic arm) list a subtype of 'body part'. A page for 'Body part' doesn't currently exist. This term in this context infers human body part. However, a page named as 'Body part' should be written to either include or disambiguate from body parts of all pawns, including animals and mechanoids. And one detail to consider is whether to name the page as 'Body part' or 'Body parts'. One other relevant note, there is a page 'Table of human body parts'. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 16:15, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
• Need a better way to display data on tables without having to update the tables themselves. What's the best way to pull stats and stuff from pages to a table on another page? Zesty (talk)
• Could uses a page on pawns, if there isn't already one somewhere on the modding pages. Zesty (talk)
• Need a page describing cleanness and how it affects health/infections. Freakycrafter

Updates Needed for Alpha 14

Changes

Combat

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

Pawn AI

• Predators no longer hunt boomrats and boomalopes.
• Pawns will be smarter about avoiding traps in various situations.

Social

• Humans now do incest.
• Beauty trait now has four stages: Staggeringly ugly, ugly, pretty, beautiful. Theaetetus (talk) 18:31, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
• Some backstories now force pawns to have a given trait (e.g. Model->Beautiful)

Buildings

• Roofs must now be manually built and torn down by colonists; they do not appear and disappear instantly any more.

Animals

• Tortoises aren’t so deadly any more. Theaetetus (talk) 18:16, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
• Animals no longer do incest. Theaetetus (talk) 18:03, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
• Nuzzling is now a visualized, recorded social interaction. Theaetetus (talk) 17:59, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Interface

• Ground fertility is now reported on mouseover.
• Trading interface now lets you type in the number you want to trade instead of dragging to the number.
• Reworked the right-click menu to be prettier, more readable, more solid, and better handle large lists of options.

Incidents

• Raiders can now enter “steal” mode if they see enough value. They’ll grab your stuff and carry it off.

Miscellaneous

• Full Steam Workshop support for mods.
• Updated to Unity 5.
• World generation is now part of the new game process, instead of being separate.
• Flow for opening worlds and savegames from old version is now improved; the “warning, old version” dialog comes before you open them instead of after.
• Seeds for world gen are now generated from actual words instead of random letter strings.
• Deworked mods config menu to have a much nicer selection and ordering interface.
• Humans can now eat unbutchered corpses (though they really don’t like it). Theaetetus (talk) 18:37, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
• Trade caravans can bring pack dromedaries.
• Gut worms and muscle parasites vanish sooner. Went to update them, but they didn't exist, so I just added them straight up. :> Theaetetus (talk) 19:15, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
• Reworked ancient tomb loot generation. Plasteel is sometimes found on pod people. So are components.
• Research difficulty is now related to your faction’s tech level. Researching techs above your level is harder. So if you’re a tribe, researching spaceflight will be difficult.
• Various refactorings to make modding easier and code easier to maintain and more flexible. Much more functionality is now implemented as composable ThingComps.
• Many, many, many other balance changes, gameplay and interface refinements, and bugfixes.

Social

• Added “killed my X” social thoughts so people dislike their loved ones’ killers
• Added new class of “minor” mental breaks, which can happen at mood under 40%.
• Added minor mental break: food binge.

Items

• Added pemmican for low-tech food preservation.

Research

• Added research (needed for tribes only): complex clothing, electricity

Bugfixes

• Traders, visitors, raiders, kidnappers, animals, etc will now escape if surrounded by walls with no way out.
• Manhunters and insects will attack doors if colonists try to hop in and out of them while getting shots off.
• Hives must now be tended by insects, so if insects are all instantly killed by a turret wall, the hives will die out.
• You can no longer avoid the ‘executed prisoner’ mood impact by just shooting or starving the prisoner; pawns will get a “prisoner died innocent” thought. A similar solution applies to the deaths of colonists.
• Solved various powerleveling exploits. Once colonists have learned a certain (high) amount in a day, they’ll learn at a much-reduced rate until the next day.
• Flowers are no longer good animal feed (reduced nutrition).
• Fixed exploit where players would give prisoner to raiders for kidnapping, to make raiders go away without a fight. Solution: Raiders only kidnap colonists.

Updates from Previous Alphas

This is the list of changes from the Alpha 9, 10, 11, and 12 blog posts, for purposes of checking off items.

Basics and Concepts

Overview

• [10a] New: outfits manager system added. You can design ‘outfits’ (restrictions on what a colonist is allowed to a wear) and assign them to colonists in a central interface. Colonists will then independently work to find the best apparel possible given their outfit and the current season. They will automatically switch out damaged apparel for better apparel, or poor-quality apparel for high-quality apparel. If the player manually assigns apparel, the colonist will never remove it until the manual assignment is cleared. DONE. Added to Overview and referenced in Clothing and Armor. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 02:54, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
• [10a] New: timetable system added. You can assign each colonist a daily timetable which describes when they should sleep, work, have joy, or decide on their own. DONE. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 02:54, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Combat

• [10a] Reworked how melee verbs are selected so they’ll be selected with a bit more randomness. e.g. Someone with one scyther blade hand won’t use it exclusively; you’ll need to get them two if you want a true killing machine. DONE. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 18:52, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
• [10a] Beer can now be wielded as a weapon (like wood). DONE. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 04:44, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

• [9e] Various tuning adjustments to several thought mood effects.
• [10a] New: joy need added. Colonists want to have “joy”, which means anything that lets the stop working and enjoy themselves for a while. There are various kinds of joy. Repeated use of the same kind of joy builds up a tolerance, reducing its impact. Colonists will prefer joy sources they are not already tolerant to. Result: it’s beneficial to provide a variety of joy sources. DONE. Created Joy! ~ Jimyoda (talk) 07:25, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

• [9a] Colonists, when hauling to stockpiles, always haul the max amount they can carry, and drop the extra nearby if the target cell can’t hold it all.
• [9e] Fixed a bug that prevented prisoners from using nutrient paste dispensers in their cells.
• [9a] Player can no longer magically toggle power on any item. Rather, you designate power to be toggled and the colonists go do it.

• [12] Recipes can be defined to have different ingredients satisfy their ingredients at different ratios, based on any value calculated from the ingredient def.
