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.

Mechanics

When starting a game, after choosing the world tile, the player can choose their starting ideologion. There are four options: You could choose to "Play Classic", choose one of the prebuilt ideologions, or choose to form your own - if you choose to create your own, you have the choice between creating a fluid or static ideologion. You additionally have the ability to customise the ideologions of the factions, within some restrictions on the memes depending on their type of faction.

Once the game begins, you can view your ideologions and those of other factions by clicking on the lightbulb icon in the bottom right.

Forming an Ideologion

Forming an ideoligion begins with selecting a structure. Structures typically determine the default style and randomized content of your ideoligion, and may unlock certain rituals, but have no effect on what memes can be chosen. You can choose up to 4 memes, which establish the practical foundation of your ideoligion. The impact of memes varies across three tiers, with some not affecting gameplay much and others altering it drastically. Certain memes may unlock or require certain styles, rituals, and other features in the same vein as structures do. The primary effect of memes comes from precepts, however, as many memes similarly unlock or require specific precepts, which perform most of the gameplay alteration available within the expansion. Precepts can affect gameplay in a number of ways to varying degrees, as they change your colonists' expectations in accordance with the beliefs they represent. For example, an ideoligion with the Guilty and Animal Personhood memes requires that the precepts for charity and animal slaughter are set to some form of requirement and disapproval, respectively; meaning your colonists will gain a mood debuff if beggars are turned away or a colony animal is slaughtered.

Beyond memes and precepts, there are also styles, roles, rituals, buildings, weapon and clothing preferences, venerated animals, and rules for types of hair and tattoo. Styles determine, in conjunction with structures, the overall "theme" of your ideoligion both in description and aesthetics; for example, a Christian-structured ideoligion will feature "God" as its sole deity and its artistic members will only produce Christian-themed sculptures. Roles serve a more practical purpose, and most require a specific meme to be unlocked; but every ideoligion will have a role for its leader and moral guide. Colonists assigned a specific role may be granted certain bonuses and powers, though often at the cost of being more difficult to keep happy and being unable to perform certain types of work. Rituals are specific social events of varying forms and themes which, depending on their quality, may provide a mood buff or debuff to the colonists participating in them. Successful, high-quality rituals may also grant an additional reward such as faction goodwill or the addition of a new pawn to your colony. Buildings may be required by certain rituals, such as the symbol burning ritual; there must to be a symbol to burn, of course. Otherwise, however, buildings are primarily an aesthetic choice and the only required buildings are one place of worship and a seat for it, such as an ideogram and kneel sheet.

Fluid ideoligions

Fluid ideologions can only start with a single meme, but are otherwise formed in the same as static ideoligions.

Every time you complete a ritual or convert a prisoner, you gain development points. The number of development points gained by ritual can vary with the quality of said ritual; a terrible ritual awards no points, a decent ritual awards 1 point, and an exceptional ritual awards 2 points. Once you gain 10 points you can change your ideology in some way, such as by adding or removing a meme, still up to a maximum of 4 memes. There is a point counter just below "styles" in the ideoligion tab. You can reform your ideoligion many times, although each time your points are reset to 0 and the cost goes up by 2 points - thus, the goal moves from 10, to 12, to 14, and so on.

Play Classic

If you choose to "Play Classic", your colonists with be given an ideologion with no memes, the Ideological structure, Astropolitan culture, and precepts reminiscent of base game Rimworld.

Conversion

Colonists and other pawns of different ideoligions can be converted to whatever ideoligions the player has access to. Imprisoned pawns can be converted in the prisoner menu, as one might reduce resistance. Other pawns will typically have to be converted using a moral guide for the relevant ideoligion, either through the use of a conversion ritual, the Convert ability, or - most likely - both. Since moral guides cannot be selected without a minimum number of colonists of that ideoligion present, this route may be difficult for players attempting to cultivate a multi-ideoligion colony.

Structure

Choosing your structure affects which symbols the game uses for your ideoligion. It does not affect gameplay.

Spectators will listen as the accuser and accused argue back and forth, then decide if the accusation is true. If the accused is convicted, you can freely banish, arrest or execute them and nobody will mind. The chance of a conviction depends on the social abilities of the accused and accuser, and the number of spectators. If successful, you are allowed to execute, banish, or arrest a person without social consequences.
