Ideoligion
This article relates to content added by Ideology (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled. |
Ideoligions are both a system of mechanics introduced by, and the primary focus of, the Ideology DLC. They allow colonies to introduce a variety of new restrictions and capabilities to change gameplay, as well as new interactions with other factions.
Type of ideoligion[edit]
Whenever you start a new game, you will see the Ideology selection menu once you've selected a world tile.
- Ideology system inactive - Disables most of the Ideology system. Player colonies and factions will no longer have any ideoligion. With this option, you can create any style, or cosmetic variant, of building (click the circle icon in the Architect tab, right next to the search bar).
- However, some aspects of the ideoligion system remain. You can still assign a Leader, and will have access to a funeral and 2 rituals - a dance party and drum party.[Verify] In addition, there will be 3 randomized relics that you can search for.
- Create ideoligion (fluid) - Design an ideoligion that can change over time.
- A fluid ideoligion only has access to 1 meme at the start of the game, which cannot be a high impact meme. Otherwise, a fluid ideoligion has the same customization options as a fixed ideoligion. The difference is that a fluid ideology can change over the course of the game. As you gain development points, you can add / remove memes, and re-customize just about everything else.
- Create ideoligion (fixed) - Design an ideoligion with complete control.
- Presets - Use an ideoligion already created for you. Want to live under the mountain, but don't want to make a full ideoligion? Pick the "Mole people" preset. You will start with a Funeral and 2 other random rituals, as well as a random relic. Other aspects of the ideoligion will also be randomized.
- For example, the "Classic-like" preset will have the following precepts:
Development points[edit]
Fluid ideoligions are mostly the same as a static one, but can be changed over time through development points. When you have enough points, you can reform the ideoligion. It costs 10 points for the first reformation, and increases by +2 per reform until a max of 20 points. You cannot "store" points; once you can reform, no more points are gained.
Development points can be obtained in the following ways:
- Performing rituals. Rituals will give a varying amount of points depending on if they are "anytime" rituals or "dated" rituals, how many rituals the ideoligion has and the quality of the ritual. If a ritual achieves a goal that awards development points (such as a conversion), both the points for the goal and the ritual are received in full. Anytime rituals (including funerals) give 1 point for a good outcome and 2 points for a great outcome.
Dated rituals grant more points the fewer rituals the ideoligion has, -as detailed below- however Funerals, Gladiator Duels, Blinding, and Scarification rituals Do not count for the following table.
Terrible | Boring | Fun | Unforgettable | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 Ritual | 2 | 4 | 6 | 7 |
2 Rituals | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
3 Rituals | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
4 Rituals | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
5+ Rituals | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
- Converting someone: 1 point.
Certain precepts allow an ideoligion to gain points from actions related to the precept.
- Blindness: Respected, Elevated or Sublime: Blinding someone: 1 point
- Charity: Worthwhile, Important or Essential: Completing charity quests and accepting charity events
- Helping beggars: 2 points
- Accepting joining wanderer: 1 point
- Giving hospitality : 2 points
- Saving shuttle crash survivors : 3 points
- Saving a pod crash victim: 1 point
- Saving the noble wimp : 1 point
- Helping the threatened joiner: 2 points
- Execution: Respected if guilty or Required: Executing prisoner: 1 point
- Proselytizing: Occasional, Sometimes or Frequent:
- Raiding: Respected or Required:
- Raiding someone: 1 point
- Raiding a bandit camp or work site: 2 points
- Ranching: Central: Successfully completing an Animal Hospitality quest: 2 points
- Slavery: Honorable: Enslaving new prisoner: 1 point
- Gauranlen Connection: Strong: Planting gauranlen tree: 1 point
Reformation allows you to add or remove 1 meme, or change the structure of your ideoligion. If you add a meme, you cannot remove / replace another meme or change structure. In addition, you can only add 1 style at a time. All other changes are unlimited.
Forming an ideoligion[edit]
An ideoligion consists of many separate aspects to customize:
Primary
- Structure - What deities (or lack thereof) that followers believe in. Examples include Abstract theist, that "god(s) are formless and everywhere", or Christian origin, which is closer to the Abrahamic religions of the west. Structure helps determine the randomized names and lore of your ideoligion. This is almost entirely cosmetic, but can add a few ritual options.
- Memes - The basic beliefs of the ideoligion. An ideoligion with the Cannibal meme will definitely enjoy human meat. Each ideoligion can have up to 4 memes. Most memes do not add much on their own, but affect what precepts the ideoligion has and cannot have. Some memes have access to role specialists.
- Precepts - What a follower's belief systems are. Precepts directly determine how colonists will react to certain actions. An ideoligion with Cannibalism: Preferred will have followers enjoy eating human meat. An ideoligion with Cannibalism: Required (Ravenous) will want to eat human meat for every meal.
- Certain precepts have statistical effects beyond mood. For instance, Drugs: Essential boosts drug crop yield, synthesis speed, and sell price. These tend to be locked behind their associated meme.
Secondary
- Rituals - Special occasions, from Dance Party to Animal Sacrifice to Funerals. Every time you do a ritual, you can end up with a good or bad outcome. Good outcomes will increase colonist mood, and come with a special, defined reward. For example, a spectacular festival can give you a random recruit, or cause a gauranlen pod to sprout.
- You can increase the chances of a good outcomes by following the ritual's requirements. A funeral can be done without your colonist's body, but the quality will be increased if the corpse is buried.
- Roles - Every ideoligion has a Leader and Moral Guide. From there, you can have up to 2 types of specialists. A Shooting Specialist will be great at ranged combat, but is unable to do many types of skilled work. Note that you can have as many specialists of a specific type as you want. For example, you can have 3 Shooting Specialists in a single colony, but cannot have a Shooting, Plants, AND Research specialist in the same ideoligion.
- Relics - Ideoligions can have relics. Relics can be either Legendary quality weapons or specific types of items that serve no other purpose. Relics must be found from a specific, multi-part relic hunt quest, which can take many years. Having a relic present will cause a number of benefits.
- Buildings - Buildings used by your ideoligion: altars, sacrificial flags, etc. Largely used for rituals. Altars and the like will eventually be demanded by followers of your ideoligion in a temple room.
- Preferences - Ideoligions can prefer apparel, weapons, and xenotypes , as well as venerate specific animals. Colonists will like having/being around preferred items. Whenever a colonist will dislike a non-preferred item is dependent on the preference in question.
Descriptive
- Styles - How buildings made by an ideoligious builder will look. Largely cosmetic. However, it interacts with the Diversity of Thought precept. If colonists are neutral or bigoted, then they will enjoy being near styles of the same ideoligion. If colonists appreciate Diversity of Thought, they will enjoy being near styled buildings that their ideoligion could not make. Certain styles will affect more or less buildings.
- Cultures - Roughly where your ideoligion comes from. Astropolitian represents those coming from space. Corunan represents tribes in general. Entirely cosmetic.
- Lore - A randomly generated description of the ideoligion, based off of memes, structures, cultures, etc. Entirely cosmetic.
- Icon / color - An ideoligion's icon is used whenever an ideology will be displayed. The color of the icon will be a preferred color for followers. Followers gain a +1 moodlet for wearing their ideology's color, or their own favorite color. All colors require dye and the same amount of dye.
Certainty[edit]
This page is suggested to be split. Destination: Certainty . Reason: Would benefit from having a space for Analyis and strategies as well as more displays of how different stats really affect conversion times. example strats: forcing crises of faith, stacking convert power buffs, gene modding the convertee to have the Kind and Wimp traits etc. Leave section here with summary, and a Template:Main link to the oage. redirect Conversion there too. |
Certainty is how willing a colonist is to maintain their current ideoligion. Conversion attempts reduce certainty. Once certainty hits 0%, a pawn's ideology will change.
Reassurance[edit]
Certainty increases by a set rate per day, which is dependent on current mood.
- 1% / day at 20% mood or less
- 2% / day at 50% mood
- 3% / day at 80% mood or more
Between 20% and 80% mood, certainty gain is linearly interpolated. Certainty does not regenerate while deathresting.[What else?] The Moral Guide of an ideoligion can also reassure pawns of the same ideoligion, which increases certainty based on Conversion Power. If a pawn is converted, then they will start with 50% certainty in their new ideoligion.
Conversion[edit]
These ways to lower certainty are all considered "Conversion". The certainty reduction is increased by the converter's Conversion Power, and decreased by the user's Global Certainty Loss Factor. Conversion strength is then multiplied by relevant traits. For example, an Undergrounder will be harder to convert from an ideology with the Tunneler meme.
- Pawns will naturally try to convert each other during day-to-day conversation. This is governed by the Ideoligion Spread Chance, which is increased by the Proselytizing precept.
- The role of Moral Guide has a "Convert" ability. This is the same as normal conversion, but done on command. This has a cooldown of 3 days.
- If a pawn is held prisoner, you can set the prisoner to Convert in the Prisoner. If there is a warden of the selected ideoligion available, they will start converting the prisoner.
The certainty reduction of a convert attempt can be calculated as follows:
Certainty loss = 6% × Conversion Power of the Converter × If Converter is Moral Guide (×2) × Global Certainty Loss Factor of Convertee × Relic Conversion Power Factor × Trait/Meme Agreeableness × AI Storyteller's Low pop conversion boost multiplier |
- Relic conversion factor:
Relic Conversion Power Factor |
---|
Other certainty reduction: These ways reduce certainty by a set percentage. Reduction is not (directly) impacted by Conversion Power or Certainty Loss Factor.
- Conversion ritual. Requires a Moral Guide. An effective conversion ritual reduces certainty by 30%. A masterful conversion ritual instantly converts the user to the desired ideoligion. Poor quality rituals instead increase certainty. The quality of the ritual increases the chance of an effective/masterful ritual; quality is increased by Social Impact of the moral guide, among other factors.
- Crisis of belief is an extreme mental break which immediately reduces certainty by 50%. If certainty reaches 0%, then the pawn will convert to a random ideoligion - even if you've attempted to convert them to a specific ideoligion prior. Notably, crisis of belief is one of 2 mental breaks that prisoners associated with another faction are able to go through. (Colonists who have been arrested can go through other breaks)
- A throne speech can convert listeners to the speaker's ideoligion.[Verify]
Children are a unique case of conversion, as babies have no ideoligion and one is assigned to them once they turn 3. For a more detailed description of how the ideoligion of a child is determined, see the Children page.
Structure[edit]
Choosing your structure affects which symbols the game uses for your ideoligion, and allows for the selection of some rituals that would otherwise require specific memes. It also influences some random generation options and flavor text but these can be overridden by player selection.
Cultures[edit]
Cultures affect names, appearances, and symbols.
Culture | Factions Allowed | Description |
---|---|---|
Astropolitan |
New Arrivals | A broad collection of cultures common among frequent space travelers. |
Rustican |
Outlander Factions | A hardy industrial cultures common among rimworld outlanders. |
Corunan |
New Tribe Tribal Factions |
An ancient culture common among rimworld tribes. |
Kriminul |
Pirate Factions | A broad category describing the styles and practices of many pirate groups. |
Sophian |
Empire Faction Ancient Factions |
A techno-feudal culture centered on the planet Sophiamunda. |
Styles[edit]
An ideoligion can have 0-3 associated styles. People belonging to that ideoligion will apply those styles when making specific items. Colonists will get thoughts based on the styles of the objects around them, depending on their ideoligion's diversity of thought precept either for having surroundings match or not match their ideoligion. Neutral surroundings produce no thought. If multiple styles of an ideoligion affect the same object, left-most applies. Note that building appearance in the construction menu will be based on your primary ideoligion, but the actual building might be different if built by a pawn of a different ideoligion.
Style dominance[edit]
Pawns consider objects with style dominance within 27 tiles outdoors, or in the same room regardless of distance. An item is considered "uniform" if pawn's ideoligion can build it, and "diverse" otherwise, regardless of the actual style: for example, a totemic table will be considered diverse for an ideoligion with morbid and totemic styles, because the morbid style overrides totemic tables. If the total style dominance of uniform or diverse objects is at least 10 more than the other category, pawns will get an appropriate thought; the actual style of the object does not matter for stacking either: a morbid slab and a totemic slab in the same room will be uniform for an ideoligion with both styles, cancel each other out and give no thought for an ideoligion with one of those styles, and diverse for an ideoligion with neither.
An ideoligion with no styles would still consider its own buildings (such as ideogram), but not ritual seats, to be uniform.
Clothing, whether worn or placed on the ground, and uninstalled objects have no impact on style dominance.
Memes[edit]
You must choose one to four memes at the beginning of your playthrough to form the foundational ideas of your ideoligion. Some have much more gameplay impact than others. Hovering over a meme will show you the information in this table.

Other Faction Customization[edit]
* Appears on faction's options but conflicts with required meme
** Since only two memes available, one of Individualist OR Collectivist must be chosen
*** Only restricts what memes can be auto-generated and loaded from saved ideoligions, can otherwise lack or possess any memes
Natural goodwill with other factions[edit]
Additionally, Supremacist and Raider have −50 with everyone, Loyalist −10 with everyone, and Guilty +10 with everyone. There is a +10 bonus for having the same ideoligion.
Modifiers stack, but each pair only applies once; for example Flesh purity + Cannibal vs Flesh purity + Cannibal give +10 for Flesh purity/Flesh purity, +10 for Cannibal/Cannibal, and +10 for Flesh purity/Cannibal.

Precepts[edit]
This page has been suggested for recoding. Reason: Convert mood descriptions to Template: Thought. DO NOT convert without adequate detail to fully utilize the template, including max stack count, duration etc.. You can help RimWorld Wiki by improving it. |
Associated precepts have a chance to appear if a meme is present, but can still be removed if not required.
Some precepts are available to all ideologies, some require at least one of the enabling memes, and some may be unavailable if certain memes are present.
Present in every ideoligion[edit]
There are 19 issues (precept categories) that are present in every ideoligion and may not be removed. However, their level may be changed. They include "basic" precepts from the base game, used in "Play Classic".

Roles[edit]
Roles are positions available to pawns that grant them both special benefits and drawbacks. Every ideoligion has at least two roles: Leader and Moral guide. There can be only 1 leader globally, and 1 moral guide per ideoligion.
Additionally, each ideoligion grants up to 2 types of specialists; a role that grants large bonuses and abilities related to a specific field in exchange of inability of doing one or more types of work. This limitation only applies to the type of specialization, not the total number of specialists.

Relics[edit]
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Better summary with some specifics but leave predominately as link to the main page. |
Relics are objects revered by your ideoligion. To obtain them you need to go through a series of quests. If you take control of them, they give various boni to your colony. When placed in a Reliquary, pilgrims of your ideoligion will visit your colony to pay reverence to the relic. Mood penalty for lost or destroyed
Buildings[edit]
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Missing significant detail, options etc.. |
Ideoligions can add special statue-like buildings that will be required when there are 3 or more pawns of the ideoligion in your faction and their expectations reach moderate or higher. These buildings must be placed in a room of at least 25 area, and must not contain beds or workstations. The larger building will also require 4 columns to be in the room. Both buildings may be placed in the same room. Placing the buildings in a room which doesn't meet the requirements will give a "[building name] disrespected" negative moodlet.
Weapon preferences[edit]
Ideoligion can have one or several pairs of noble and despised weapons types. Weapon pairs can't be combined if they overlap.
Wielding a noble weapon grants +3 mood while wielding a despised one grants -5.
Killing any pawn[Verify] with a noble weapon grants +3 mood for 1 day[Thought Template] while using a despised one to attack anything - including objects - grants -5 for 2 days.[Thought Template]
Pair | First group | Second group |
---|---|---|
Melee / Ranged | All melee weapons, including beer and wood | All ranged weapons, including grenades |
Melee piercer / Melee blunt | Thrumbo horn, Elephant tusk, Breach axe, Gladius, Longsword, Knife, Ikwa, Spear, Persona monosword, Monosword, Plasmasword, Persona plasmasword | Beer, Wood, Mace, Club, Persona zeushammer, Axe, Warhammer, Zeushammer, Eltex staff |
Long shots / Short shots | Bolt-action rifle, Sniper rifle | Machine pistol, Pump shotgun, Chain shotgun, Heavy SMG |
Ranged heavy / Ranged light | Incendiary launcher, Smoke launcher, EMP launcher, Heavy SMG, LMG, Sniper rifle, Minigun, Triple rocket launcher, Greatbow, Charge lance | Revolver, Autopistol, Machine pistol, Short bow, Recurve bow, Charge rifle |

Apparel preferences[edit]
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Missing several details inc but not limited to how it spawns on pawns. |
Some kinds[Detail needed] of apparel can be set as preferred. The player can set any of these pieces to be desired for men, women, or both, and can choose between a relaxed and strong desire. Multiple kinds[Cap?] of apparel can be chosen.
Pawns that are wearing all of their desired apparel will gain a small mood bonus of +1 for a relaxed desire, and +2 for a strong desire. There is no difference in the mood bonus for having multiple pieces of desired apparel in the ideology, the bonus is only for wearing all of their desired apparel. Unlike role-specific apparel, there is no mood penalty for not wearing desired apparel.
Pawns that have desired apparel may spawn wearing it. The criteria for this are not fully understood, but pawnkinds that do not spawn with apparel that occupies the coverage and layer of the item preferred by the ideoligion appear to always spawn with the item. If the pawnkind does have conflicting apparel that may, or is required to, spawn, then a portion of those pawnkinds will spawn with the apparel. This can lead to knock-on effects, such as some Empire Cataphracts spawning with hats in place of their helmets making them weaker in combat. Note that this also applies to colonist spawns, including at game start. In any case, it is unknown if this is limited by the apparel value limits imposed on some pawnkinds.
Ideoligions have an ideoligion color. Pawns gain a gain a +1 mood buff if more than 60% of a colonist's apparel is their favorite color or the color of their ideoligion. If their favorite color and their ideoligion's color are the same, they will gain both mood buffs for a total of +2. For a full list of valid apparel color options, see the Dye page.
The color of the ideoligion can be set at generation, while a pawn's favorite color is determined when the pawn is generated.[Children?] Apparel can be dyed at the styling station for one dye per piece of apparel. Note that unlike with preferred apparel, outside of the Man in Black event, pawns will not necessarily spawn wearing color that matches their ideoligion or preferred colors.
Xenotype preferences[edit]
This section relates to content added by Biotech (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled. |
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Needs proper write up. Test if specific to Sanguophage or the implanter gene.. |
Believers consider this xenotype to hold a higher moral or spiritual status than others. They will be happy if their colony has only preferred xenotypes. However, having any preferred xenotypes means that all other xenotypes are considered disliked and believers will be unhappy living alongside them.
Up to three Xenotypes can be selected as preferred xenotypes, including baseliner and a custom xenotype. If at least one is selected then a positive mood will be generated if every colonist is a preferred type, but a negative scaling mood if even one colonist is not a preferred type.
Believers will not accept becoming a non-preferred xenotype via reimplant ability or xenogerms. If Sanguophage is not a preferred type and at least one other preferred type is set, colonists will refuse Sanguophage xenogerm implantation and quests that award Sanguophage xenogerm will fail to give the reward.[Fail?]
Opinion:
- Preferred xenotype: +10
- Disliked xenotype: −30
Mood:
- All preferred xenotype: +2
- Some disliked xenotypes: −2
- Many disliked xenotypes: −3
- Tons of disliked xenotypes: −4
- I am disliked xenotype<: −6
Venerated animals[edit]
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: General stub. Also: Check body size requirements. Add Table of options with bodysize and hunger/body size. |
This animal is considered by believers to hold a special spiritual or moral status, which means it must be venerated and may never be harmed.
— Description
An ideoligion can have up to 18 venerated animals.
Colonists will not hunt or attack venerated animals with ranged weapons (but will attack them in melee), unless the animal is in manhunter mood. They will not slaughter tame venerated animals.
Colonists will butcher venerated animals without any issue, but will refuse to eat their meat or any meal made with it (including meals stacked together), even when starving. They can be manually ordered to eat such food, but will get -8 mood for 5 days. If a colonist that venerates an animal is unconscious, other colonists (of any ideoligion) will not feed them such food, and cannot be manually ordered to do so. Colonists take no issue using leather, wool, milk, or eggs of the venerated animal.
Colonists will get -5 mood for 5 days if a tame venerated animal dies for any reason. Releasing tame animals is fine.
Colonists will get a positive thought for the amount of tame venerated animals in the colony, depending on their total body size divided by the total number of colonists: +2 for 1 or more, +3 for 2 or more, +4 for 4 or more, and +5 for 6 or more. In case of multiple venerated animals, all their body sizes are added together, producing a single thought. All colonists are counted for this, but only those of an appropriate ideoligion will get the thought.
Despite being tameable, Insectoids cannot be selected as a venerated animal.
Venerated animals are twice as easy to tame.
Hair and tattoos[edit]
An ideoligion has associated hairstyles, beards, and tattoos. Specific hairstyles and tattoos may be allowed for men, women, or either. Some of those may be more or less common.
Newly spawned pawns of an ideoligion will always have matching appearance.
If pawn's hairstyle, beard, or tattoo do not match what their ideoligion allows (usually as a result of a conversion), they will try to use styling station on their free time to automatically change their looks, and will have a -??[Value?] mood penalty until they do so. They can also be sent to adjust their appearance manually.
