There are many, many things to be done on this wiki to make it better. Mark incomplete pages or pages needing work with {{Stub}} to make our job a bit easier.

General To-do List

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

Pages: Assign tab currently only has a brief overview on the menu page. Outfits, Food policies and Drug policies each need individual pages. Mayoculpa (talk) 12:19, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
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)
Need a better way to display data on tables without having to update the tables themselves. What's the best way to pull stats and stuff from pages to a table on another page? Zesty (talk)
- I started a short how-to on properties and queries on my user page. Does that help? --Khaim (talk) 21:42, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- This is perhaps the main attraction of Cargo. If/when all that stuff is done, we can use data across the wiki from various pages using queries, without the pages being high-maintenance. The list queries above is a small example. Pangaea (talk) 15:15, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
Menus#Schedule needs a section and image for showing the addition of meditation by Royalty. Harakoni (talk) 05:02, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Updates and maintenance needed on the Wiki

Freshen up the frontpage, and if nothing else, change from a table to div setup --> In progress by Pangaea
Categorise all images so it's easier to find them --> In progress by Pangaea
- Ideally with AutoWikiBrowser, because it is much faster
If relevant: update outdated images, and add missing images
- ~~Possibly re-enable the MsUpload extension to make it easier, or do it with AWB~~ --> DONE by Zesty
~~Add an Admin noticeboard~~ --> DONE by Pangaea
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Update some of the default footer pages, as they seem outdated currently --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
- See [1] for a suggestion that might work here as well
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)

Wiki consistency and overhaul

Time to elaborate (or duplicate) Policies and Formatting guidelines. Basics like: Consensus, Edit Warring so that newcomers can learn their way around. Tutorials. Finish the page Help:Templates#Creating_a_template. Yoshida Keiji (talk) 09:17, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
- Zesty has already said this is not Wikipedia proper; these policies could help with keeping order but if not enforced correctly they will seem excessively draconic and scare away potential contributors-- and this has already happened, twice. PigeonGuru, Strategist ( talk | contribs | assist ) 12:34, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

As an aside, if I may be so bold as to suggest a few extensions I didn't see here, which could prove useful:

LinkSuggest: Useful for new users to easier create links without knowing the ins and outs of the page names.
Cargo: I see you already use SMW. Cargo is basically a more light-weight alternative to SMW, and set up more like a traditional SQL database, so it's easier to use queries than with the pretty complex SMW syntax, and its plethora of property and query pages. I don't really suggest to shift from SMW to Cargo as it's a pretty monumental task given you appear to be actively using SMW here, however it may be worth to read up on it. I happened to be admin/guardian on a Gamepedia wiki when they, after huge stability issues related to SMW sitewide, decided to de facto ban it and urge wikis to transition over to Cargo. So I have, or at least had, a good deal of knowledge about it, and created a bunch of templates when Pillars of Eternity transitioned from SMW to Cargo. It's not perfect of course, but I found it really useful, so wanted to leave a tip here about it, just in case admins/mods want to look into it.
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.

Suggestions

Install the MobileFrontend-extension -- Crasheripot
The Template:Infobox main should be somewhat wider. On nearly any page the infobox is used at least one line doesn't fit in and it is sometimes hard to read which numbers match which category. Especially for pages like animals the infobox is often longer than the rest of the article (I do realise that this depends on the size of your screen though). Ickputzdirwech (talk) 12:55, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Update 1.2.2753

Not as major as the main ones, but there are important some changes. Have started implementing some. Need help to do them all though Harakoni (talk) 07:13, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

When forming a caravan, animals now instantly go to the caravan packing spot instead of waiting for a colonist to take them. This speeds up the caravan formation process significantly.
You can now place blueprints separately for different types of buildings in a monument, so you can make them of different materials.
We now display a text mote when a player pawn gains a new level in a skill.
If you have a menu with a very large number of commands, as in a powerful psycaster, some of them will be displayed smaller.
Use drug commands are now condensed onto a single command if a pawn carries more than one drug type.
Allow projectiles to be rendered with a visual arc and ground shadow. Activated this behavior for: Phoenix and Grenadier armor, frag grenades, molotovs, emp/smoke/incendiary launchers.
Allow right clicking on the shuttle with multiple pawns selected to load all allowed ones.
Mods can now be tagged as translations in the workshop.
We now automatically add appropriate bedrolls to caravan.
Pawns will now not lose their skill levels until they fall 1000 XP under zero. This stops pawns from quickly leveling up and down around a threshold.
Added a warning confirmation for calling for resources that would cause the caravan to be immobile.
Add some text content to refugee hospitality quest.
Recipes for crafted things now show work to make in their info card.
New artwork for orbital targeters.
Allow quick loading via permit shuttle from non-home maps with no hostiles.

Adjustments

Adjust text and icon for the 'Take drug' command.
In custom difficulty settings, rename "fixed wealth" mode to "wealth-independent" mode, and give the player a slider to control how many years until this mode delivers its maximum threat level.
Move 'take to inventory' column over just to the right of the drug name.
Dirt now washes away in rain.
Psycasts are now sorted on the interface by category and then level.
Changed psychic droner to start off with medium bad strength as baseline and when spawned on sites its determined by points now, same as the 'raw' gamecondition.
Ensure all the mech cluster buildings wake up once it was attacked.
Adjustments to Precious Lump quest text and world object info.
Make pawns count as guilty while in aggro mental state.
Disable corpse obsession break for prisoners, as it's very unlikely to happen and is not implemented around this possibility.
Reorganized permit UI. Exchanged horizontal scrollbar for vertical.
Added faction icon to main work tab with click through to faction and scroll to faction.
Added max lodger count to hospitality refugee quest.
AI will now only deploy an NPC's Smokepop pack if the offending attacker is hostile. This prevents friendly-fire from activating an NPC's Smokepop
Rewrite noble requests for help in the pawn lending quest.
Increase frequency of bandit camp mission and shuttle crash quests.
Food and medicine renamed to travel supplies.
Add hediff links to recipes for implants and parts.
Apparel with utility now has a score offset to make AI more likely to automatically wear it.
Made nature shrines minifiable and reinstallable.
Made shrines improve anima tree meditation.
Farskip now affects colony animals if not on the home map.
Colonists and pack animals unload inventory automatically once farskipped to a player home map.
Climate adjuster no longer will choose negative temperature offset for deserts nor positive offset for ice sheets (it will avoid being not dangerous).
NPC pawns with titles now purchase random permits on generation.
We now show the player a feedback message when calling resources to a caravan.
Trade requests will no longer request patchleather.
Added quest look target when bestowing ceremony cannot be accepted due to threat.
Bestowing ceremony text now says that player is expected to keep bestower safe.
Jump packs and locust armor now require enough chemfuel to provide their initial fuel, and one more component.
Ensure auto-selected travel supplies doesn't exceed caravan mass capacity.
Use phrase "Force equip" instead of "Force wear" when referring to utility-slot apparel items.
Increased warmup time for aerodrone permits by 1 second.
Removed full-map light up effect of all strikes except orbital beam.
Icons of spacer armor now display as off-white instead of dark gray.
Adjust eltex gear colors to be darker.
Shield renaming for clarity and consistency. "Mortar shield" is now "mech high-shield". "Bullet shield" is now "mech low-shield". "Broadshield pack" is now "low-shield pack". "Broadshield projector" is now "burnout low-shield". "bullet shield" psycast is now "skipshield". No code or defNames were changed.
Rename orbital strike permits to aerodrone strike (for fiction coherence reasons).
Don't autoselect beer, ambrosia, flowers or insect jelly in the form caravan dialog.
Bestower is no longer required to have archotech eyes.
Member stripped goodwill penalty increased from 10 to 40.
Royal apparel production costs rebalanced.
Improve meditation and medical rest priorities to allow meditation for pawns with healing injuries if they're on meditation schedule.

1.2 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

Custom playstyle system: You can now select a new custom playstyle setting. This opens up a new menu that allows you to customize a large number of different settings exactly as you prefer. For example, you can make a game with lots of enemies, but high yields from crops and mining. The settings are:
- Storyteller ignore wealth, and instead replace it with a factor from time alone. This can make the game fall off the rails easily, but is appropriate for someone who wants a pure challenge.
- Player friendly fire chances.
- Colonist instakill chance. This setting allows you to apply a damage filter that prevents colonists being killed by a single shot, because that can feel arbitrary. Colonists can still be downed by one shot and bleed out soon after, or take permanent injuries in one shot.
- Overall threat scale
- Major threats toggle
- Quests threats toggle
- Intro threats toggle
- Predators hunt humans toggle
- Extreme weather toggle
- Harvest, mining, and butchering yield
- Quest rewards
- Raid loot
- Trade prices
- Turret rearm cost
- Scaria rot chance
- Enemy death on downed chance
- Colonist mood
- Food poison chance
- Animal revenge chance
- Infection chance
- Disease frequency
- Hive insect spawn rate
- Deep drill infestation chance
- Ancient structure threats toggle
- Passive hives at map generation toggle
- Toggles to allow/disallow player building traps, turrets, and mortars
- Damage adaptation growth rate: Adaptation means the storyteller makes the game more challenging over time as long as you are not taking losses. This is separate from the story effects of wealth and population. This adjusts the rate of that challenge growth.
- Damage adaptation effect: Adaptation means the storyteller makes the game more challenging over time as long as you are not taking losses. This is separate from the story effects of wealth and population. This adjusts the effect of that adaptation value on actual threats.

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.

Utility gear system: Wearable belts have been expanded into a system of wearable utility items. One person can wear one utility item. Utility items can be passive like a shield belt, but most give an ability the player can trigger. Most have a certain number of charges before they run out. Some can be reloaded, while others are consumed by use.

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:
- Building destruction. Screen shake, dust, and so on.
- Improvements to orbital bombardments. You can see and hear incoming projectiles and other details are improved.
- EMP state on mechs or turrets, with electrical arcs and sparks.

New stuff: Royalty expansion

Major quest * Shuttle defense: An Imperial shuttle has been damaged and needs a place to land. They're being hunted by raiders! If you accept the quest, the shuttle crash-lands on your colony map. Some civilians, plus a some Imperial soldiers, will get out and defend themselves at the shuttle as a raid comes after them. You have to help defend them until a rescue shuttle arrives to pick them up. Get to tha shuttle! Go!

Major quest * Bandit camp mission: The quest giver wants troops to help assault a bandit camp. He will provide a shuttle to bring you to and from the camp. A specific number of people must be provided. This creates a self-contained combat challenge without the fiddliness and time commitment of full travel.

Major quest * Refugee hospitality: A ragged group of travelers arrives. They ask to stay at your colony for a while. They have no rewards to offer, but there are other reasons to take them in. They will work for you during their time at the colony. If you keep their mood high, some of them may offer to join you permanently. After they leave, there is a chance they will pay you back later. One new aspect of this quest is that the travelers aren't part of any major faction, which means you can choose to capture them, harvest them, or sell them * though they may rebel or flee if you try. There is also chance they will betray and attack you, and a chance that some other party will contact you and offer a reward to betray and kill the travelers. Overall, this quest is designed to break out of the predictable challenge/reward structure of traditional quests and create more of a fluid, unpredictable situation with many options and outcomes.

Bestower: Titles are no longer given instantly when enough honor has been acquired, and psylink neuroformers are no longer sent to you by drop pods. Instead, a colonist with enough honor for a new title can invoke the bestower, a ceremonial priest-like figure who arrives by shuttle with a retinue of guards. He goes to the colonist's throne room, confirming that it satisfies the title requirements, and does the bestowing ceremony there. The ceremony itself gives the psylink upgrade and title. You can also betray the bestower to steal psylink neuroformers if you wish.

Meditation enhancers: Meditation focus objects can now be enhanced by other objects placed nearby. This gives a reason to construct more integrated and expansive meditation temples instead of just a single object.
- Sculptures are enhanced by nearby sculptures.
- Grave is enhanced by nearby graves.

Flame meditation focus: This is usable by pyromaniacs. They can focus on torches, campfires, or braziers. These are enhanced by nearby torches, campfires, or braziers.

Gloomlight mechanoid building: This building has two purposes. First, it emits a sickly light, so adds some visual interest to mech clusters, especially at night. Second, it can be reinstalled as a light or deconstructed for valuable resources. However, it is quite fragile so probably won't survive indiscriminate bombardment of a mech cluster. Similar to the unstable power cell, it's a reward which can be claimed only if the cluster is approached a certain way.

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.

Shuttle pad for Empire bases: When you attack an Empire base it will have a shuttle pad, often with a shuttle on the pad about to take off. This just distinguishes these bases from other factions better.
Throne rooms in Empire bases:

Speech inspirations: When your noble gives an inspiring speech, each listener has a 5% chance of getting an inspiration in addition to the mood bonus.

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.

Added visual effect for wallraise rocks expiring.

Improvements and adjustments

Underground resources readout now shows what resource is in each underground cell and how many there are.
Desired psyfocus UI controls are more robust.
Refined room stats readout.
Storyteller now ignores HP for purposes of wealth calculation.
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).
Anima tree will no longer be destroyed by meteors, crashed ship parts, or shuttles.
Empire soldiers now have more distinctive haircuts.
Pawns can now only bond one persona weapon at a time (otherwise trait effects can stack in broken ways).
Anima trees now reduce their anima grass progress rate after they're heavily used within a single day. This still permits power-leveling the anima grass with many meditators, but at reduced effectiveness.
Empire is no longer enemy with civil NPC factions. We added a warning to inform players if they call Empire military aid when there are enemies on the map that the aid won't fight (this is a rare scenario).
Display meat icon in butchery recipe float menu option.
Removed naming animals through nuzzling. Animals only get names by bonding, or if given names by the player (so you can implicitly tell which animals are bonded by seeing which have names).
Speech duration reduced from 5 hours to 4 hours.
Stele and nature shrine now have terrain affordances appropriate for their sizes.
Certain sounds now change speed if game speed changes, so they stay in sync with on-screen motion.
All anima tree psylink levels now take 20 anima grass (instead of 18 or 22).
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.
Relabel skill neurotrainers to "skilltrainer" and give them their own category similar to psytrainers.
Removed special letter icon for choice letters.
Sort transporter contents list so humans are unloaded first, followed by animals, then by items.
Optimized UI gizmo drawing by skipping the layout phase.
Pawns of the same home faction (i.e. quest lodgers) will no longer arrest each other.
Orbital mech cluster targeter will no longer spawn a cluster with condition causer.
Change threat text color to a lighter red for better readability. Applied it to more text where it makes sense.
Gear tab now expands if it needs space and there is space, before using scroll bar.
Added labelMale and labelFemale to traits.
You can now navigate debug menus with keyboard alone.

Technical

Added temporary factions system. These are used in the refugee quest, but can be used in other places as well.

Fix: Condition causer destroyed message sent whenever it was despawned instead of just when it was actually destroyed.
Fix: Text rounding issue with re-enter cooldown text.
Fix: Pawn bio tab -> double empty lines in tooltips just before the line that says when a backstory unlocks a psyfocus type.

Fix: It's possible to use doors as electricity-less coolers.
Fix: Exception when selecting brazier construction ghost.
Fix: Just claimed artificial structures don't affect nature focus objects.
Fix: Pawns meditate in bed without being sick. They should go for a better meditation spot.
Fix: Mechanoids not waking up if you skip them.
Fix: Mechanoid capacity tooltip displays hidden capacity impactors.
Fix: "Created at" stat has duplicates for things with bulk and normal recipes.
Fix: Non-royal colonists will not wear royal apparel even if outfit requires it.

Updates needed before 1.0

World generation

Caves now form sometimes in mountainous maps. Inside there are special cave plants. There can also be dormant insect hives.

Misc additions

Storyful combat: A major rework of melee combat, and a new way to report all combat interactions. Storyful combat generates a combat log that reports each blow, miss, swipe, block and fall in the combat. During or after a fight, you can review the combat log to see what happened, to generate a richer story.

New world site components (used in various situations):
- Animal ambush

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.

Miscellaneous Changes

[16] UI can now be scaled to arbitrary scaling factors, for players who play in really high resolution.
[11b] Mods config page shows load order of mods.

Characters

[11a] Guests are smarter and no longer walk out of the colony bleeding.
