Rewrite.png
 This article is suggested to be rewritten. Reason: Some features may be missing. All features were identified by generating worlds which is not rigorous. In addition, it is unknown if features like groves, and habitats include all possible species or limited subset. You can help the RimWorld Wiki by improving it.

 This page could use some more or updated images. You can help RimWorld Wiki by uploading images to make this page better. Note: Requesting images for each different feature.

Landmarks are special named generated tiles on the world map that come with features that modify or add to the map when settled. The features may include natural landforms such as lakes, fjords, and atolls, or artificial structures such as abandoned colonies, ancient garrisons, and city ruins. Some features may also be modifiers rather than placed structures, such as higher fertility, fogginess, or higher levels of pollution. Most features can be found in any biome. When a map is reset, features do not remain on the tile first found. Names remain the same, but move elsewhere on the planet. This is key when shopping for a good landmark, as rerolling a pawn after a landmark is found, means that landmark is gone when trying again on the same seed.

Landmark-defining features[edit]

Every landmark is associated with a specific feature, or in some cases a set of features. Optionally landmarks can have additional features which can also be found on non-landmark tiles.

Features of both types can be searched for with the Search tool, but it only shows results for landmark tiles, settlements and quest sites. For this reason it is not yet clear if landmark-defining features are always associated with a landmark or if they can sometimes appear in normal tiles.

Landmark-defining features can be combined under some conditions. The primary feature determines the name of the landmark and the way it is drawn on the world map. For example a landmark with the cliffs and lake features will be displayed as a cliffs tile with a cliffs-related name.

    A small rise with sharp cliffs and a flat top.

    Plateaux are found on mountainous terrain, in the arid shrubland, desert, tundra, grassland and glowforest biomes. They occasionally combine with the wetland or pond features and can also appear on an abandoned colony landmark.

    Terraforming scar[edit]

    A misaligned blast from an ancient terraforming device has warped the earth into serpentine spirals. The area has since recovered, though the twisted and deformed hills remain.

    Terraforming scars are found on large hills terrain, in the temperate forest, temperate swamp, tropical rainforest, tropical swamp, arid shrubland, desert, extreme desert, boreal forest, cold bog, tundra, glowforest, grassland, lava field and scarlands biomes. They occasionally combine with the pond feature and can appear on a hot spring landmark.

    Valley[edit]

    A steep valley carved through a mountain.

    Valleys are found on mountainous terrain. They occasionally combine with the pond, lake, lake with island, bay or wetland features and can appear on hot springs or abandoned colony landmarks.

    Valley feature in a desert biome.

    Coastal features[edit]

    Coastal features only appear on the shore of oceans, inner seas and lakes. Unlike other coastal tiles, landmarks with these features don't have the coast or lakeshore additional features.

    In general coastal features do not combine with other landmark features, with the exception of bays.

    Archipelago[edit]

    A network of several small islands dotting the coast.

    Archipelagos are found in all biomes except sea ice and ice sheet.

    Bay[edit]

    A large indentation in the coastline that provides shelter from strong coastal winds.

    Bays are found in all biomes except sea ice and ice sheet. They are always present on harbor landmarks and can occasionally appear as a secondary landmark feature on valley, cavern, chasm and abandoned colony landmarks.

    Coastal atoll[edit]

    An island surrounding a large lagoon. There's very little land to build on here.

    Coastal atolls are found on flat or small hills terrain in temperate forest, tropical rainforest, arid shrubland, desert and grassland biomes.

    Coastal island[edit]

    A large island near the shore.

    Coastal islands are found in all biomes except sea ice and ice sheet.

    Coastal island feature in an arid shrubland biome.

    Fjord[edit]

    A long, narrow sea inlet surrounded by steep terrain.

    Fjords are found on mountainous terrain in all biomes except sea ice and ice sheet.

    Peninsula[edit]

    An outcropping of land surrounded by ocean.

    Peninsulas are found in all biomes except sea ice and ice sheet.

    Iceberg[edit]

    A floating mass of ice, detached from the larger ice sheet.

    Icebergs are found in the boreal forest, cold bog, tundra, ice sheet and sea ice biomes.

    The average temperature is always below freezing. There are no geysers, even when there is coastal land on the map in addition to the iceberg.

    Inland water features[edit]

    Dry lake[edit]

    The remains of a former lake.

    Dry lakes can be found in the arid shrubland, desert, extreme desert, tundra and grassland biomes. They do not combine with other landmark features.

    Hot springs[edit]

    A hot water spring, heated by geothermal activity.

    Hot springs can be found on mountainous terrain in the temperate forest, boreal forest, tundra, glacial plain and lava field biomes. They can occasionally be combined with the valley, cavern, chasm or terraforming scar features, more rarely with the wetland feature. They can also rarely appear as a secondary landmark feature on ruins, ancient quarry, abandoned colony and ancient structures landmarks.

    Lake[edit]

    A large body of fresh water.

    Lakes can be found in the temperate forest, tropical rainforest, boreal forest, tundra, glacial plain, glowforest and grassland biomes. They can rarely be combined with the wetland feature.
