General To-do List

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

  • 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)
  • Market values: Mindscrew, Flatscreen television & Ground-penetrating scanner have market values at odds with their calculated market value. They could be manually set or there could be a bug in the market value calculation (like there is for prestige armor) or the articles could be wrong. They need to be checked in game. Harakoni (talk) 08:10, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Properties: Need to have descriptions added to pages - some of the older ones have unknown purposes and some documentation, even if it appears obviousm, would be good. Harakoni (talk) 01:07, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
  • Bed super page: We need a super page for beds to talk about generic mechanics and have tables for comparison. Atm its mostly on the bed page, with the rest spread out elsewhere. Obviously it can't be called Bed because thats taken/would be confusing. Potentially we can put it on as a subsection on Rest and have a "This page is for the furniture item, for beds generally see [[Rest#Beds|Beds]]" on the Bed page, and links to it on each bed page like "The royal bed is a [[Rest#Beds|Sleeping furniture]]" or something. Sleeping furniture is a terrible name and should be replaced in practice but you get the point. - Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 04:04, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Chair super page: As above but for "sitting furniture". - Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 04:05, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Animal Combat Power: Major only because of the scope, Combat power should be added to the infobox, and the combat power of each animal should be added so it can be called. Atm the only way to find that info is the xmls and thats not useful for a lot of non-tech savvy player. Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 11:52, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Goodwill template: Some way of expressing the variabliltiy of goodwill gains due to their scaling that can be easily linked in-line. The need for this arises out of the scaling for changes that brings them closer to their neutral position whether that be hostile or not. So if a player is relying on a good action getting their ally from 80 to 100, then they might do the action on the wiki's recommendation and then only get part of what they expect. Part of the issue is that this system is not fully understood/detailed on the wiki. Can't explain, or even decide what needs to be done, when you don't understand youreslef. Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 04:37, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
  • Add cleaning time factor: to Template: infobox main & Update it on the individual floor pages (information is there but once infobox template is updated, it should be added), Template: Floor Table Row via property set in infobox. Discussion of the mechanic and its effects should also be on the Floor page and Filth page. - Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 12:22, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Insectoid pollution stimulus: effects need to be added to the relevant insectoid pages, and possible ailments. - Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 12:24, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Updates and maintenance needed on the Wiki

  • Add an Admin noticeboard --> DONE by Pangaea
    • Not properly integrated or accessible from the rest of the wiki and thus of limited use. More work is likely needed Harakoni (talk) 08:10, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Add Community portal to the Sidebar (and maybe re-order it slightly? See Wikipedia's system)
  • Update some of the default footer pages, as they seem outdated currently --> Partially done by Pangaea
  • Given a fitting license, borrow content from other wikis and improve and expand our Help sections
  • Add articles for each technology and skill, with fitting templates
  • Purge outdated SMW entities: (see Statistics) --> DONE by Hypolite
  • Edit or make new screenshots without (so many) UI elements, as seen for instance in the Events page
  • An RSS feed for news would be nice, but looks like we'd need this extension for it. Could perhaps put it on the frontpage then. Pangaea (talk) 13:21, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Template: STDT tables don't play nice with Template: infobox main and ToC as described here. This issue doesn't occur with wikitable class tables, so it is likely an issue with the STDT table and not the infobox. It might be related to the definitions in MediaWiki:Common.css as thats where the "c_01" values are defined. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the wiki formatting or the .css to fix it. There is a working hack but ideally we could make a fix thats native to STDT and not have to worry about it anymore. Harakoni (talk) 11:43, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Finish the page Help:Templates#Creating_a_template.

Suggestions

  • Install the MobileFrontend-extension -- Crasheripot
  • LinkSuggest: Useful for new users to easier create links without knowing the ins and outs of the page names.
  • RandomSelection: This can be neat on the main page for various gameplay tips and such, which then get randomly selected. Not sure if there would be a good use for it with this game, but I have seen it used to good effect on other wikis, such as Witcher 3.

Large projects

The following page groups need to have a standardized format with adequate detail decided, have that standard applied over the entire group, and then brought up to quality. These are all relatively large, multi-page jobs, many including many pages that aren't just non-standard but outright stubs, but it can be done piecemeal. The important part is getting a suitable standard first.

I'm not sure anyone will take this on, but I'd appreciate any help, even if its just adding suggestions to the suggested standards below Harakoni (talk) 05:50, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Adding contributors for volunteers to sign up with. There is no pressure to take on the entire project but if you add your name, I'll know to ask your opinions/keep you apprised, and help you in any way to get these projects moving. Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 04:54, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
Page type Suggested detail/sections Contributors
Categories/All The grand recategorization and retyping - checking all page types and categories and reordering them in the same pattern as the stockpile/bills menu. Requires recategorisation, page moves, new categories etc Contributors
Plants
  • For plantables: Growing section using Template: Grow Table
  • For plantables: Economy - Proper analysis on their production compared to other producers of the same type (e.g. Food or Wood plants), as well as economic concerns - profitabiltiy with and without crafting, work/product, work/silver, tiles/product/day, tiles/silver/day etc.
  • Production strategies, e.g. how worth each is to put in hydroponics, greenhouses, whether to wall in, esp relevant for devilstrand
Animals
  • Trainability, diet, habitats, combat skills and analysis (seriously lacking atm), production economy, stragegies for combat/acquisition/use
Drugs

See Go-juice for an example.

  • Acquistion/crafting information standardized
  • Summary
    • Instanteous effects e.g. recreation +X% is instantaneous, but the mood buff and other hediffs are long term and have a duration.
    • High effects
    • Tolerance and Severity gains
    • Addiction effects
    • Withdrawal effects
    • Effects for mtb to chemical damage etc.
  • Analysis
    • Effectivness for use (e.g. combat buff for Yayo and Go juice, mood buffs for social and hard drugs etc.)
    • Comparison of production compared to other drugs in the same class as part of above
    • Comparison of economies, like is currently available for Flake and Yayo, but for all drugs. If you're only selling it, you don't need to assume psychoid plants are the only thing you can grow - needs analysis per pawn work (inc. sowing, harvesting, and crafting work), per unit time, and per tile of grow space.
Weapons Largely have a functional standard following the traditional Acquistion/Summary/Analysis/Quality Table method, but pages are all out of date and in need of massive updates. Additionally, a way to display quality information for different materials is also needed. Talk to User: Harakoni for this last bit - ideas are in teh workds for updating Template: Weapon Quality Table but work is needed.
Production facilities Workbenches like the smithy, tailoring becnh etc.
  • Acquisition - self evident
  • Summary - general information about it use, with the use of Template:Recipe List to what is produced there (except when theres only 1 thing produced there)
  • Analysis - how vital is it to get, and comparison between fueled/hand version vs electric.
  • Template:Building_Material_Table
Diseases
Recreation Standardized recreation comparison - tables with time to recreate etc.
Traps IEDs and spike traps. Standardisation and comparisons - see Security table for start.
Sculpture Sculpture, Small sculpture, Large sculpture, Grand sculpture, Terror sculpture
Factions
  • Lore
  • Variants
  • Ideologies
  • Pawns (from pawn tables where needed)
  • Faction Bases
  • Raid "rewards" (raid leaders will often carry silver, drugs, jade, resources etc as a reward, this is dependent on the faction)
  • Caravans?
  • Reinforcements?
  • Raid types and constitution?

And then add other sections and subsections as needed.

Artificial body parts Almost all of them need a dedicated summary section of their mechanics
Illumination area Add similar images in style/quality/content to Standing lamp#Illumination area by User:SyntaxTerror to all items that put off light. Torch lamp, sun lamp, wood fired generators, mech nodes, the ancient lamps from ideology, etc.
Maintenance Not a set of pages, but for things that occasionally break down and need a component to fix. A standardized format for the Summary sections is needed as well as an entry on Component. I actually can't immediately find any mentions of this mechanic on the wiki, so either its not described or its poorly interlinked/SEO'd.
Materials, resources, and Ore Materials and crafting resources have a rough standard with Acquisition/Summary (where necessary)/Usage/Analysis however there are nonstandard mat pages, and there is a lack of standardisation in Usage beyond the use of Template:Ingredient List. There also is discussion needed on how to display stuffables on stuff pages. Its possible that another template similar to Ingredient List but for stuffables (Talk to Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) if interested) is needed to display all items that can be stuffed with the material in question. Materials don't just occupy one or the other e.g. some recipes require Gold and others require any metal including gold. Ore pages also need to be split off from their materials.

Pawn stats

The following stats are the ones currently in the game as of Version/1.2.2753, several aren't even on the wiki, and many of the pages are out date and/or are not properly structured to automatically link to the relevant capacity Harakoni (talk) 05:52, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Big new stuff

Added precepts related to bloodfeeders:

  • Revered: “Bloodfeeders should be worshipped.” Positive mood effects for having bloodfeeders in the colony. Negative thoughts from bloodfeeder deaths. Positive opinion towards bloodfeeders. Not bothered by being fed on.
  • Reviled: “Anyone who drinks blood to survive is a monster.” Negative mood effects for having bloodfeeders in the colony. Positive thoughts from bloodfeeder deaths. Negative opinion towards bloodfeeders. Will not absorb or implant bloodfeeder genes from xenogerms.

Added Ideology precepts related to child labor:

  • Encouraged: “Children build character through work. It’s important for everyone to contribute.” +20% child global work speed. Negative mood offset for adults while a child has recreation assigned.
  • Disapproved: “Childhood is sacred. We should let kids play like kids.” +20% child learn rate factor. Negative mood offset for adults while a child has work assigned.

Added mechanoid labor Ideology precept: Enhanced: “Why should we work when we have machines?” +20% mechanoid work speed. -8% colonist work speed.

Added Ideology precepts related to growth vats:

  • Essential: “We have the technology for safer childbirth and faster childhoods.” 30% quicker growth speed in growth vats. Negative mood when naturally pregnant or with a child outside of a growth vat.
  • Prohibited: “Growth vats rob children of their childhood.” Unable to build growth vats. Negative mood when growth vats are in the colony or children are in growth vats.

Added a new category of precept: Preferred xenotypes.

  • Up to 3 can be chosen at any time. This includes player-created xenotypes. When chosen, believers will be happy to be and be around preferred xenotypes. Believers will be unhappy when they or others are of other xenotypes. Believers will not accept becoming a non-preferred xenotype via reimplant ability or xenogerms. Single-xenotype NPC factions have a chance to generate with this belief about themselves.

Other:

  • Xenogenes count as artificial enhancements for body modders/prosthophobes.
  • Autonomous weapons include colony-controlled mechanoids for precepts.

Smaller new stuff

  • Added child tribalwear.
  • Added an auto load toggle for genepacks. When off, the genepack will not be taken to a gene bank.
  • Added an option for selecting “no trait” on growth letters some of the time if there are more than two trait choices.
  • Added a UI button for absorbing xenogerms of appropriate targets, to help players understand that this option exists.
  • Added social thoughts for giving a lesson to a child and the child receiving a lesson.
  • If a child is unarmed and hasn’t participated in combat at all, raiders will treat them similarly to harmless livestock. This means the raiders will deprioritize them as targets and not hunt them down. It makes unexpected combat more survivable for kids, opens up those “porkchop hiding in the shed” stories and might create some rimworldy strategies.
  • Melee raiders now ignore non-combatants that aren't in LOS when choosing new targets (previously only ranged-attack raiders did).
  • Factionless pawns can spawn with any defined xenotype including those from mods and those which are player-created. Player-created xenotypes must be referred to in an ideoligion, or used as a player starting colonist, to spawn.
  • Added more varieties of yttakin pawn kinds. This means more variety of yttakin raiders and traders.
  • Display recipe ingredient counts on recipe float menu option tooltip.

Miscellaneous

  • Increased the health of the mechanitor's remote shielder ability to 75/150/225.
  • For the purposes of precepts, autonomous weapons include colony-controlled mechanoids.
  • Increased the availability of gene packs from various traders.
  • Increased frequency of genepacks in quest rewards.
  • Xenogenes count as artificial enhancements for body modders/prosthophobes.
  • Yttakin factions no longer get desired apparel precepts, because they’re uncomfortable in all clothes.
  • We now allow the kind trait to apply in addition to other violence-related genes.
  • We now display market value on colony mechs’ inspect pane.
  • Pawn apparel generation takes into account min and max temperature stats per individual pawn rather than per xenotype. This means that yttakin will be less likely to spawn with parkas (they generally don’t need them) and so will look cooler.
  • When a bloodfeeder feeds on a person, the hemogen they gain is now related to how much blood was left in the target. This solves some logical incoherencies, and an exploit that involved keeping a deathless blood-farm and bloodfeeding on them over and over.
  • Reduced the impact and duration of gene loss shock from the gene extractor.
  • As people grow up, their aging rate now smooth scales from child age rate to adult age rate over several years. This prevents the problem of having a lot of 13-year-olds in the colony after raising children.
  • Renamed "child raiders" storyteller setting to "child enemies" to be more accurate.
  • If child enemies are disabled in the storyteller settings, refugees with children will not betray and attack (because that makes children your enemy). We reduced the chance of children spawning in refugee hospitality quests to mitigate balance impact of this.
  • Allow modifying the “child aging rate” and “babies are healthy” storyteller settings even if children are disabled, in case there are already children in the game.
  • Display recipe ingredient counts on recipe float menu option tooltip.
  • Added a "(disliked food)" parenthetical warning on the right-click menu when telling colonists to feed themselves or a patient a food that the eater would dislike. This helps players predict what will happen.
  • A caregiver feeding a patient will now feed them ideologically-venerated food sources if there are no non-venerated food sources.
  • Improved formatting of the research project content source line in the research UI.
  • When a deathless pawn takes damage that would have been lethal and falls into a deathrest coma instead, as an additional consequence they lose 3-6% of XP in a random skill. This should make non-death less trivial for these characters and preserve the sense of risk and danger. We’ll tuned this ongoing as needed.
  • Super-mechanoids cannot be called when there is already another super-mechanoid on the way.
  • Player is given the choice to set mechs to escort when a mechanitor leaves a map.
  • Hemogen UI gizmo no longer displays when multi-selecting pawns, to reduce clutter.
  • Ability UI buttons can now shrink like psycasts if there are too many, to avoid covering the screen.
  • Update the wording of the stillbirth letter to be a bit clearer about the choice of naming the baby, and allow the player to decide not to name the baby.
  • Fathers now get a negative thought if their child is stillborn.
  • If a baby is stillborn from a surrogate mother, the gene-mother gets a negative thought.
  • Updated the apocriton's description to note that it has a jump launcher.
  • If player sends a pregnant colonist on a “pawn lending” quest in a shuttle, and she gives birth during the quest, the baby will be returned with her instead of being kept by the questgiver.
  • Psychic lances can't be used on mech bosses (because they trivialize the fight).
  • Added a thing category for mechanitor body parts (used on stockpile config etc.)
  • Added a toggle for the glower color picker to disable the darklight-related UI elements for modders that want to re-use the dialog for other things.
  • Pawns away on a PawnLend quest won't have their lactating condition expire if there are any babies with them that can feed.
  • Show birth letter for babies born from lent colonists in a PawnLend quest.
  • Babies born during a pawn lend quest: If a baby is stillborn they are sent to the colony immediately for burial.
  • Display conditional stat affecters from ideoligions in stats page.
  • Add dev tool to add ideology development points.
  • In the 'Completed scan' message sent when subcore scan is cancelled, changed 'cancel load' to 'cancel scan'.
  • Subcore scanners: Added confirmation dialog when cancelling a scan that can kill the occupant.
  • Added description to "force xenogerm implantation" command.
  • Shuffle inherited genes before adding them. Added a debug tool to spawn a baby given two parents.
  • Bringing babies to a safe temperature jobs can now be interrupted.
  • Kid tribalwear no longer lists skin layer twice.
  • Added an alert which displays deathresting pawns who can be safely woken.
  • Gene extractors will cancel extraction and eject the victim if they are without power for a cumulative 24 hours.

Version/1.3.3287

Slowly drowning in unimplmeneted updates. Remember:

  1. Implement the change on the page/s
  2. Add it to the version history of the page/s
  3. Remove the relevant line from here.

If you can't find a good place to implement the change, leave it for later. Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 00:29, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

New feature

  • Added a new play option that allows playing with Ideology content active, but without the ideoligions system active. This is appropriate for someone on their first game, or who isn't trying to do something specific with ideoligions. Ideology content includes things like: Ancient complex quests, biosculpter technology, Gauranlen trees, ancient debris, etc.

UI improvements

  • Reworked ideoligion setup UI. Classic, custom and load buttons are now selectable elements that take effect when the player hits "next".
  • The old "classic" mode is now called "classic-like" and is one of the "mild" presets.
  • Meme tooltips now list all prevented precepts instead of just saying how many there are.
  • Randomizing precepts no longer brings up a confirmation dialog if the user has not edited precepts.

  • Reduced mechanoid RandomDrop raid arrival mode weight at 1000+ points 1.9 -> 1.3. Mechanoids are now more likely to arrive by walking in to the map edge.

Tuning - Ideoligions

  • Bigotry precepts don't have associated memes any more, so won't appear unless specifically configured by the player. This reduces annoyances around dealing with bigoted guests and recruits.

This reduces annoyances and fiddliness with carnivore food restrictions, and balances the meme more simply, with an upside to animal raising matched by a downside to crop raising.
  • Remove the 'no recent animal slaughter' negative thought from the rancher meme, along with all associated code and content. This particular thought was too limiting for players and not worth having.

Pawns

Caravans

  • Optimized caravan automatic food selection.
  • Caravan speed: Caravan speed solely depends on carried mass, ridden animals, and terrain movement difficulty. Pawn speed no longer impacts caravan speed.

1.2.2719 and 1.1.2654 Update

1.2.2719 and 1.1.2654 Update

As always. This time around, no need to strikeout completed items- just delete them right away. PigeonGuru ( talk | contribs | assist ) 04:51, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

The 1.2 release of RimWorld adds a variety of new content and a few new systems.

There are a few major parts to this update.

New stuff: Base game

  • Raid loot generation: Previously raids would just drop whatever rewards were associated with the characters in that raid. Now, each raid generates a single core reward like a stack of drugs, medicine, jade, or plasteel. The reward is chosen semi-randomly according to the raider faction, and placed in the inventory of a few of the raiders. This allows us and users to accurately tune raid rewards, and solves issues where higher difficulties got bigger rewards.
  • Automatic caravan setup: The caravan setup screen now automatically loads enough food and medicine for the journey. This can be overridden if desired. This interface was also restructured to ask for the route first, and to clean up placement of some UI elements. Overall, caravan forming takes less effort and fewer clicks.
  • New system for handling time limits on caravan encounter maps. Previously on encounter maps, the player caravan was just automatically reformed after a certain amount of time. Now, the colonists will be detected by enemies after some time. Later, enemy reinforcements will begin arriving to attack. The player can choose when to leave, and this scenario can play out even on maps where other enemies remain (e.g. If player is executing a siege).
  • Direct button to use drugs from inventory: This makes combat drugs more usable.
  • New visual effects:
    • Improvements to orbital bombardments. You can see and hear incoming projectiles and other details are improved.

New stuff: Royalty expansion

  • Bandits set up problem causer incident: This is a new way hostiles can threaten you besides raiding you. Now, sometimes they will set up a camp near your colony from which they will harass you using some kind of problem causer device, like a weather controller or smoke spewer. You have to attack the camp and eliminate it.
  • Abasia disease incident: This random incident makes someone in the colony get paralytic abasia, which paralyzes them for a while.
  • Blood rot disease incident: This random incident makes someone in the colony get blood rot, which requires regular medical treatment for a while.
  • Abasia joiner incident: In this random incident, someone joins you, but they have paralytic abasia, so they must recover from that before they can work. It's your choice whether you want to heal them and let them join, or handle them another way.

Improvements and adjustments

  • Underground resources readout now shows what resource is in each underground cell and how many there are.
  • Monument placing feedback is improved. When you try to place a monument, now the specific reason it can't be placed is highlighted on the map and noted in a message.
  • Map generator doesn't generate little inaccessible islands any more (since they break various aspects of gameplay).
  • On the research tab, we now draw icons for techprint faction and research bench requirements (the latter as hyperlinks).
  • Quest helpers no longer spawn with the greedy trait.
  • Sort transporter contents list so humans are unloaded first, followed by animals, then by items.
  • Pawns of the same home faction (i.e. quest lodgers) will no longer arrest each other.

Technical

  • Fix: Joy meditation can cause pawns to fall out of bed.
  • Fix: Condition causer destroyed message sent whenever it was despawned instead of just when it was actually destroyed.

  • Fix: It's possible to use doors as electricity-less coolers.
  • Fix: Just claimed artificial structures don't affect nature focus objects.

  • Fix: Incorrect calculation for packaged survival meal bulk recipe.
  • Fix: Wild men who are incapable of violence can hunt animals for food.
  • Fix: Shuttles sometimes land on natural roofs.

Tuning

  • Increase rewards per points for quests game-wide.
  • Reduce the threat points for fights generated off the home map, and increase bandit camp quest rewards.
  • Double the rate of nuzzling by animals to buff mood-oriented pets. Already done. Ickputzdirwech (talk) 08:13, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Updates needed before 1.0

Modding

Since the contents of this section are a bit harder to document and not as relevant to the majority of people visiting the wiki, I will put a collapse here for the time being.

  • Modders can now add “def modifiers” which, instead of replacing a whole def, change specific fields of that def. This allows multiple mods to change the same def without wiping each others’ changes (unless they change the same field, of course).
  • Information on how to use def modifiers is in this forum thread: [https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=32735.0]
  • Various enums are now defs so modders can add new ones (TrainableIntelligence , DamageArmorCategory, ImpactSoundType, ReservationLayer, BillRepeatMode, PrisonerInteractionMode, FleshType).
  • GUI tables (like most of the main tabs along the bottom of the screen) are now defined by data, making it easier to add, rearrange, sort, and change columns on the UI.
  • Increasing skill relevance
  • Mining skill reworked: Steeper speed penalty for low skill. Mining yield is now slightly dependent on mining skill.
  • Work tab boxes are easier to identify skill level for visually.
