Rimworld Xenotype Editor (2024)

FAQs

Can you change your xenotype in Rimworld? ›

There are 11 xenotypes found in each world by default, but you can add your own types during colonist selection or in-game genetic modification. All xenotypes drop human meat and human leather, no matter how foreign they may be.

A gene assembler can create xenogerms with a maximum complexity of 6, plus 2 for every attached gene processor.

Biologically older characters will tend to have higher skills, developed by experience. They may also have gray hair and age-related health difficulties such as cataracts, a bad back, dementia, or frailty.

Enemy mechanoids have no needs at all. As machines, they are vulnerable to EMP attacks, though will "Adapt" for 2,200 ticks ( 36.67 secs ) (regardless of source), making them immune to all further EMP strikes. Enemy mechanoids will automatically die if they are downed for any reason, or if their Manipulation is at 0%.

Xenogerms completely overwrite a pawn's xenogenes, genes which are not passed down through reproduction. This will outright remove xenotypes that are defined by xenogenes, such as genies or sanguophages. Xenotypes using germline genes, such as impids, will not have those genes removed.

Multiple Colonies[edit]

Since Alpha 16, you can have up to 5 colonies running at the same time (available in Options > Gameplay). The larger you extend the more benefits and difficulties you will gain.

A quick rule of thumb is to grow 10+ tiles of food crops per colonist in a biome with year-round growing. If the colony hunts as well, it will accumulate some food reserves, which can be saved for winter, fed to prisoners, or sold.

Personally, I find that six to eight colonists is the ideal number. It's manageable while still increasing the colony's power, allowing you to take on most raids or random events in the game. I know many people prefer 10-12, however. It's up to you!

Inbreeding[edit]

The likelihood of this is modelled proportionally to the pawns' coefficient of relationship, though it is largely simplified. As a general rule, the risk is 80% for first-degree, 40% for second-degree, and 10% for third-degree relatives; however some exceptions apply, an example being 20% for cousins.

While RimWorld can be played for as long as you want, the game can come to an end in a few different ways. Counting all available DLC, there are 4 distinct ways to see the credits screen: Finding or building a ship to take you to the stars. Joining the court of the High Stellarch of the Empire.

How long should a RimWorld game last? ›

When focusing on the main objectives, RimWorld is about 61½ Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 329 Hours to obtain 100% completion.

The Deserter quest will allow you to betray the empire for an opportunity to gain 2 psylink neuroformers. Note that there is no special "betray the empire" questline or mechanic, beyond the aforementioned quest. The empire can be re-allied with enough gifts or peace talks.

Some form of seating is essential for dining, and will help prevent the −3 Uncomfortable moodlet. High quality chairs will even give a mood buff when sat on. A normal quality dining chair will maintain the +4 Comfortable buff, while a masterwork chair can reach +10 all day.

Mechlink[edit]

Multiple mechanitors may exist in a colony, and function normally. Other than starting out with one, they can be obtained in the following ways: Destroying an ancient exostrider midsection, which generates on most new maps.

Fluid ideoligions are mostly the same as a static one, but can be changed over time through development points. When you have enough points, you can reform the ideoligion. It costs 10 points for the first reformation, and increases by +2 per reform until a max of 20 points.

Tubal Ligation[edit]

The operation is irreversable. Neither of the IUD, Vasectomy and Tubal Ligation will be "healed" by luciferium, bioregeneration cycle and by applying healing or resurrection mech serum.

Installing a detoxifier lung replaces that respective lung; if the lung is in perfect condition, it is also harvested without penalty.

There's two types of genes. Germline/Endogenes, and Xenogenes. Endogenes can be inherited by children, Xenogenes must be re-implanted via a Xenogerm into each pawn you want them in.
