Highmates

From RimWorld Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Highmates are a xenotype, commercially available for those who aspire being one.

Lore

On a few wealthy worlds, highmate xenogerms are commercially available and some people become highmates as a sort of career. However, many societies find them abhorrent, either because they distract people from forming natural families, or because they are humans shaped to serve the pleasures of another. On such worlds they are either reserved as playthings of the powerful, or banned entirely. This particular line of highmate fits the fashions of classical Novaroma, but many other variants exist. - Tynan

Summary

Because Highmates always sport irregular skin color and their distinguishable snow-white hair, Highmates tend to stick out more in large groups. Highmates have a genetic complexity of 16 and a metabolic efficiency of 0, giving them the default x100% hunger rate.

Although Highmates lack much use in a colony (outside of their great social skill), their inherent beauty makes them more likely to find a partner. Combined with a high libido, Highmates can provide an opportunity for your colony to reproduce when you lack the technologies necessary for artificial reproduction.
