UPDATE: Alpha7b had a typo that made plague 10x too common in temperate biomes.
You can fix your game by re-downloading and reinstalling it, or by replacing Mods/Core/Defs/BiomeDefs/BiomesBase.xml with this corrected version of the file.

I’m uploading a silent non-essential hotfixed version of Alpha7.
Alpha7b has reduced disease frequency, so diseases will appear less often.
To update, you can re-download from your old link.
Alternatively, you can just go into your game folder and look in Mods/Core/Defs/BiomeDefs/BiomesBase.xml, search for every instance of <chancePerDay>, and cut all the values in half. There are about 12 entries.

How do i update this game i have no idea what to do i am so lost i dont know where the new download is or whatever please please help
October 3rd, 2014 - 5:38 am
Sorry. You can download from your old link.
October 3rd, 2014 - 10:37 am
yea, I think this was really needed, I tend to burn through my medicine in a month as all my colonists end up with the plague

So i noticed that there is a “Race” tab in the character menu
does this mean we will be getting non human races? what kind of races can we expect?

*Thank you* for this!
I was home sick for a couple days when you released A7, and I thought for sure my colonists were getting sick from me. 🙂

Have you ever send the alpha 7-mail I’m too impatient thank you

2 questions:
-Will it be possible to designate forbidden areas where you don’t want your colonists to go, for instance during an attack, the standard is just to turn off the odd jobs halfway across the map, but that’s a lot more overhead every time than just painting a zone “don’t go there” and then removing that designation.
-Has Tarn Adams asked for his cut yet? 😀
Seriously though, great work.

Will it affect the saves we already have if some of colonist are already ill?
October 3rd, 2014 - 7:19 pm
Angel: The mails are sent.
Noob: I’m looking at ways of handling these problems.
Feniks: No.

I have a question, apparently the personal download link at sendowl has a 5 download limit on it – which is fine to prevent public sharing – but it looks like it didn’t reset after the fix came out – so the alpha7 download took it from 5 to 4 and now the alpha7b “redownload” took it from 4 to 3?
Seems odd to rely on an inherently finite system as a static “get it after every update/patch” repository. Is it a timed quota that resets regularly (presumably more often than updates/hotfixes are released)?
October 3rd, 2014 - 10:33 pm
Road: We can reset it, but only if we also send out the update emails. It’ll reset with A8.

Can it really be true that Plague has a 0.06 daily occurrence rate in temperate biomes? That seems an awful lot compared to the other diseases, so I have set to 0.003.

Rune – Aw crap. You’re right. I need to re-hotfix it. Ugh!
October 4th, 2014 - 3:28 am
XD that’s hilarious “10x more common”
October 4th, 2014 - 4:42 am

October 4th, 2014 - 11:44 am
When will Rimworld come on steam?
October 4th, 2014 - 11:45 am
And btw. I think you are the only game designer who actually answer like 90% of all questions!
And still have time to work on the game.

Hayden – email me [email protected]
Mathias – Thanks 🙂

What version number is 7c? For the manual updaters.
October 5th, 2014 - 10:19 am
Hi Tynan, just a heads up- looks like the Ludeon forum is a little bit messed up. All guests are banned, but they’re also banned from registering too!
October 5th, 2014 - 10:52 pm
is there a way to get that email again? i accidentally deleted it
please help. it would be much appreciated

So, I was playing… I like to name one of the initial colonists as myself, so I named this guy ’cause he was a brawler and I think brawlers are cool… Suddenly, after some time playing, I get a message: “It’s Dani’s birthday today!” I look at the clock and it’s September 9th……………………..
My real life birthday.
What are the odds? Damn. Thanks for the great game <3
October 6th, 2014 - 3:02 am
hey Tynan Sylvester,
i would say you your healthsystem is amazing i have see the new transplantfeature and i have a question: how does it look with resuscitation?
October 14th, 2014 - 12:07 am
I can’t unzip Alpha 7c and my download limit of it is at 2. It says this constantly “Cannot Complete the Compressed (zipped) Folders Extraction Wizard
The compressed (zipped) folder is empty. Before you can extract files, you must copy files to this compressed (zipped) folder.\
To close this wizard, click Finish.”
Possibly need reset on downloads if I can’t get it to work pls, how the hell do I fix this.
October 14th, 2014 - 12:11 am
Fitzy – Download didn’t complete properly. Try downloading it again. If you run out of downloads just email me [email protected] I’ll fix it no problem.
October 14th, 2014 - 12:17 am
Thanks and I think I know why it didn’t download. I’m using third party software to access all websites whilst at school so I can get the update and not waste my internet, but the network here is buggy and using proxy settings from somewhere in Japan isn’t helping either. But still, thanks I’ll make sure I download it tonight at home.
October 23rd, 2014 - 3:45 pm
hey. i dont hav my old link how i get the update ? 🙁
November 10th, 2014 - 12:11 pm
