List

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

Events page: Needs updating/more descriptions.
AI storyteller: Needs updating.
Wiki Consistency: Some pages are not consistent with the current wiki's style. Find and update those pages.
Alpha 8 Updates: Pretty much everything that was added in Alpha 8 needs to be added to the Wiki. (See Below).
Alpha 9 Updates: As above but for Alpha 9
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
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)
- 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)

Alpha 8 and 9 Updates

~~[9a] New: chemical fascination~~ DONE. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 04:22, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Enemies

[8a] You can now release prisoners. This gains you goodwill from their faction.
[9a] Siegers will come with shells to use to bombard you.
[9e] Balanced sieges to be slightly weaker.
[9a] Cryptosleep caskets are now sealed, come with warnings, and can contain deadly ancient defenders.

[9a] New: ‘binge’ mental breaks
[9a] New: hangovers
[8c] The ‘was imprisoned’ thought now has a greater effect on mood.
[8f] The ‘saw corpse’ thought is stacking far too high because of a bug.
[9a] Colonists are now bothered by people walking around inside the room while they sleep.
[9e] Various tuning adjustments to several thought mood effects.

Health

[9a] People newly woken from cryptosleep have cryptosleep sickness for a while.
[9a] Surgery can fail now, sometimes catastrophically. Failure chance is related to the surgeon’s medical skill and the quality of the medicine.
[9a] You can now rescue incapacitated neutral people and heal them. Their faction will be appreciative.
[9a] Vomiting: Some diseases, drunkenness, cryptosleep sickness, and hangovers now cause people to vomit.

[9a] Colonists will now go to extinguish nearby fires even if someone else is already coming to do it.

[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.
[8c] The binding between workers and bills will no longer time out. This should eliminate problems with workers starting the same bill several times and ending up with multiple unfinished versions of the same item.
[9e] Fixed a bug that prevented prisoners from using nutrient paste dispensers in their cells.
[8a] Created ‘unfinished thing’ step to crafting. Crafting can now take several days per item (as in the case of advanced weapons or art).
