Human

Humans are the primary inhabitants of the Rimworlds and the foundation of—if not the whole of—player colonies, as well as the only known sapient species in the universe of RimWorld.

Diet[edit]

Humans are omnivores, able to eat all foodstuffs with the exception of hay. Food can generally be gathered by foraging wild berries, hunting wild animals for their meat, farming, and in desperate times or for those of specific tastes, through cannibalism, usually of dead raiders.

Combat[edit]

Humans have the ability to equip a weapon, either melee or ranged. If not equipped with a weapon, they will fight with their fists or relevant artificial body parts.

Butchering[edit]

Main article: Human Resources

Like most creatures, humans can be butchered for their meat and leather. However, doing so will inflict negative thoughts on the butcher and all other pawns in the colony, and consuming meat or wearing clothes made of human leather will likewise inflict negative thoughts. However, these thoughts will be nullified or replaced with positive thoughts for pawns with the Cannibal or Bloodlust traits, as well as relevant precepts.

Xenotypes[edit]

Main article: Xenotypes

Gene editing has created many different subspecies of humans, called xenotypes. They all remain human in nature, dropping human meat and human leather as usual. Humans without any genetic modification are called Baseliners.

Baseliners by faction[edit]

The table below describes the chance for a given pawn from each faction being a baseliner. Note that this value does not account for chances in xenotype chance from ideoligion or from pawn kind, it only shows the base value before those factors.

Faction		Chance
	Gentle tribe	100%
	Fierce tribe	100%
	Savage tribe	100%
	Cannibal tribe	100%
	Nudist tribe	100%
	Fierce neanderthal tribe	0%
	Savage impid tribe	0%
	Civil outlander union	85%
	Rough outlander union	85%
	Rough pig union	0%
	Pirate gang	70%
	Cannibal pirate gang	70%
	Yttakin pirates	0%
	Waster pirates	2.5%
	Shattered empire	70%

Body Parts[edit]

Being biological creatures, humans have a lot of body parts that work together to make them tick.

Body Part Groups

Each body part is part of a body part group. Armor and Clothing can go over one or more of these body part groups, but they can't go over individual body parts. See table, below.

Body Part Group Name	Contents
Torso	clavicles, sternum, ribs, pelvis, spine, stomach, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, neck
UpperHead	head, skull, brain, ears
FullHead	head, skull, brain, eyes, ears, nose, jaw
Shoulders	shoulders
Arms	arms, hands, humeri, radii
Hands	hands, fingers.
LeftHand	left hand, left hand fingers
RightHand	right hand, right hand fingers
Legs	legs, feet, femurs, tibiae
Feet	feet, toes

Special Notes:

Brain injuries are always permanent and will never heal on their own. Eye injuries have a much greater chance of being permanent than usual.

↑ Coverage is used to determine the chance for this body part to be targeted. External parts cover their parent part and take hits for them. For example, the neck, arms and legs have a combined external coverage of 59.5%, so the torso has only a 40.5% chance to be targeted. Internal parts can only be targeted when their parent part has been and take damage along with the parent part. For example, the torso has a 40.5% chance to be targeted and the spine has 2.5% internal coverage so has about a 1.01% chance to be targeted.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be the initial target damaged when all parts' coverages have been taken into account. Different damage types can propagate damage in different ways and cause parts to be hit more often than this table shows. See page for details.
↑ What apparel coverage covers this body part.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ ^6.0 ^6.1 This part has no coverage and cannot be damaged.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move. A pawn that cannot move cannot work.
↑ ^8.0 ^8.1 ^8.2 ^8.3 ^8.4 ^8.5 ^8.6 ^8.7 ^8.8 ^8.9 Only the relevant choice of LeftHand OR RightHand will apply, not both.
