RimWorld 1.0 released

Posted October 17th, 2018 by Tynan Sylvester

It’s finally here! I just hit the button to release RimWorld 1.0. Thank you to everyone! I have many people to be grateful to (many of whom I mentioned in the last update).

There’s a juicy new trailer you can watch here:

Some logistical details (I also mentioned last time):

If you’re playing an unmodded game, just keep playing. Version 1.0 will be compatible with un-modded savegames from Beta 19 and Beta 18.

If you’re playing a modded game, you should follow these two steps now:

  1. In Steam Library, right-click on RimWorld, select Properties, go to the Betas tab and select the “beta19” beta.
  2. Back up your mod files.
    1. Copy all the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100
    2. Paste them all in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods

I’m recommending modders don’t update in-place to prevent the above problem, but can’t guarantee everyone will get the message.

1.0 is mostly the same as Beta 19, with a lot of bugfixes. The only significant new feature is a new food restriction system that allows you to determine what your colonists and prisoners are allowed to eat.

Time to celebrate over here! Thanks again everyone.
