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

  • Cleaning up the to-do list: This page is cluttered-up and needs to be cleaned. PigeonGuru (talk) 02:14, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
    • Cleaned up entries that have already been completed 3 months or earlier ago. If it shouldn't be done please revert. PigeonGuru (talk) 10:05, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Guidance: How to perform implant, surgery, operation. Adding content to most of the guides, in general. -Most of the guides here could use some love. I've created a Guides page which leads to other guides. We need people to work on them as well. PigeonGuru (talk) 09:56, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Mass: Masses for many of the items are incomplete. See User:Spdskatr for more information. Spdskatr (talk) 22:19, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
  • 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 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 Don't think this is necessary for this wiki. PigeonGuru (talk) 10:01, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
  • 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)
    • I started a short how-to on properties and queries on my user page. Does that help? --Khaim (talk) 21:42, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Need a page describing cleanness and how it affects health/infections. Freakycrafter
  • Provide the minimal specifications to play the game. (I can't create a new page for this, but you can find the specs at store.steampowered.com/app/294100/. --Shatterhand (talk) 20:42, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
  • Insect infestations There is almost no information on the entire wiki about infestations, insect jelly, insect meat, jelly farming, etc. The only mention is Events#Infestation and what little info is on the individual spider pages, like Megaspider.

Updates needed for Alpha 16

Same as was done for alpha 15: a list of all changes from alpha 16 that need to be added to their respective pages. Don't forget to <strike> strikethough </strike> (or <s> strikethrough </s>)any items you complete and sign them with ~~~~. Nitrodev (talk) 14:43, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Miscellaneous Changes

  • Reworked surgery failure into three modes – minor, catastrophic, and ridiculous. Ridiculous hits all body parts, minor and catastrophic hit parts near the surgery site.
  • Reworked trade prices across the board. Simplified trade price calculations and added rich tooltips to feed them back.
  • The mood effects from room impressiveness have been redesigned and rebalanced. Characters now have consistently reasonable thoughts about the quality of their personal room, so there is a reason to make better rooms (though *high-quality rooms aren’t absolutely necessary). Mood effects from eating in or convalescing in nice/poor rooms are also more reasonable and better-fed back.
  • Rebalanced plant growth timings.
  • UI can now be scaled to arbitrary scaling factors, for players who play in really high resolution.
  • Animals carrying inventory now have visible packs on.
  • Added new separate bills to stonecut each type of stone.
  • Prisoners are now temporarily marked “guilty” when they do certain actions, like killing a colonist or attempting escape. Guilty prisoners can be executed without mood penalties. ADded. PigeonGuru (talk) 06:34, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Faction names are now much more interesting and varied, and are separate from specific community names.
  • New Peaceful difficulty mode, for players who just want to build stuff. Disables major involuntary threats like raids.
  • New alert: Unhappy nudity
  • Backstories can be translated now
  • New translation tool gives a readout of exactly what translation data remains to be written and what data is unused.
  • Added proper chick peeping sounds.
  • You can now only request one trader per 4 days from a faction. Added. PigeonGuru (talk) 06:34, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Colonists now get mood boosts for defeating big enemies or enemy faction leaders.
  • Cleaning and harvesting jobs are now given in batches (more efficient and sensible AI).
  • Default medical care for non-colonists is now herbal meds. Switches to best meds on recruit.
  • Rebalanced most range weapons so more time is in cooldown and less is in aiming – especially for light weapons.
  • Pawns generated below age 20 now have no adulthood backstory. Nitrodev (talk) 10:38, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
  • New research screen! Research projects are laid out visually according to their dependencies in a left-to-right arrangement similar to the Civilization games. Modders need to manually place their projects, but if two overlap the game will automatically move them apart. Added. PigeonGuru (talk) 06:34, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Redesigned how medical system generates text feedback. Tooltips now contain much more information with less ambiguity. Wound tendings are now of any percentage quality (not just good/poor).
  • Game now warns you when you order slaughter of a bonded animal (because of the mood impact).
  • Added visual feedback thought bubbles for when pawns gain certain good and bad thoughts, so it’s easier to see when something just bothered or pleased them.
  • Rich soil is darker in color and so easier to see. Added.
  • Added a “hold fire” toggle on drafted pawns that makes them not automatically shoot at enemies.
  • In order to avoid annoying players by having animals always follow their masters, even into combat, players can configure when animals will follow their masters. There are two toggles: Follow while drafted, follow while hunting/taming.

Updates from Previous Alphas

This is the list of changes from the Alpha 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 blog posts, for purposes of checking off items.

Basics and Concepts

Combat

  • [11a] Pawns check for job override when taking damage. It will no longer be possible to bug out the centipede enemy and kill him at close range while he tries to take a firing position.

Health

  • [10a] Reworked food search so it smoothly integrates information about food distance, taste, and psychological preference to get the most optimal food source.
  • [12] Added way to enable/deny medicine in different qualities to any colonist, prisoner, or tame animal, from the health tab. Previously added.

Work and Skills

  • [9a] Reworked the ‘do until you have X’ option on bills; it now works for more bills and shows the number you currently have.
  • [10a] Reduced skill degradation rate.
  • [10a] Reworked how skills generate so there will be more initial skill variation and age affect starting skills more.
  • [10a] Generalized toggle power interaction to ‘switch flicking’ and applied it to power switch toggling and door locking as well as building power on/off.
  • [10a] You can now set a minimum skill level on bills.
  • [11a] Pawns can now do ‘job override’ checks to see if a new job should start before ending their current job. These are now used liberally to have pawns respond faster and more intelligently to changing conditions (especially in combat).
  • [11b] Colonists now harvest planted trees on their own.
  • [12] Unskilled or injured growers can fail at harvesting, destroying the harvest for one plant. DONE. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 06:03, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Storyteller changes

  • [11a] Randy’s event chances are affected by population (somewhat).
  • [11a] Re-tuned storyteller population intent based on new output tables for smoother population gain with higher maximum and better recovery at small populations
  • [12] Slightly relaxed threat frequency for Cassandra.

Game Objects

Items

  • [12] Recipes can be defined to have different ingredients satisfy their ingredients at different ratios, based on any value calculated from the ingredient def. This lets us make a meal from 2 eggs, but 10 potatoes, because we base recipe value on nutrition, and the nutrition value of an egg is 0.25 while the nutrition of a potato is 0.05. -Partially completed regarding meals. PigeonGuru (talk) 05:37, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
  • [12] Art for elephant tusk. DONE. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 05:58, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
  • [12] Ancient artifacts with psychic powers can be bought, sold, and found in ancient crypts. Artifacts are one-use. Psychic powers work at any range through obstacles. DONE. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 05:58, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Buildings

  • [11b] Smelt slag recipe can use do until you have X.
  • [12] All furniture is now ‘minifiable’ like televisions and telescopes. This means beds, chairs, etc can be moved without being rebuilt, bought, and sold. DONE. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 05:47, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
  • [12] Furniture can now be art engraved.
  • [12] Graves are no longer just glorified storage slots; colonists must actually ‘bury’ corpses. Added. Note that art is added upon burial. PigeonGuru (talk) 05:35, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
  • [12] Can now build sarcophagi out of solid materials. High-quality sarcophagi are art items. Previously added already.
  • [12] Colonists will visit graves of dead colonists for a joy activity. DONE. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 16:07, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
  • [12] Room roles and stats: Rooms now have ‘roles’ and stats based on what is inside them. These are automatically-defined values that, in turn, passively affect thoughts and events in the room. Room roles and stats can be inspected with a new inspection tool (bottom right of screen).


Characters

  • [11a] Guests are smarter and no longer walk out of the colony bleeding.

Plants

  • [12] Refactored and slightly rebalanced crop yields so crops want a bit more space.

  • [12] Pawns have life stages (baby, juvenile, adult) related to their ages. Baby animals are tiny and weak, juveniles somewhat larger, and adults are full size. They can only reproduce in some stages. DONE. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 07:11, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
