Our Rimworld Stories!

[Korimito]

Hi!

I am typing this on my dying iPhone while I am being ill on a work toilet. Please don't mind my briefness...

Rim world is very much about telling a story - we all know this. Sometimes, though, our rim world stories are hard to remember. My proposition is this;

An automated log of major events on chronological order (blights, raiders, starvation, prisoners) that is accessible throughout your play through and at the end of your game.

Example:

Day 60: 8 <<well equipped>> <<pirates>> raid from the <<south west>>. <<Vas (oaf)>> is the day's hero as he takes down <<3>>. <<Frank>> dies of a <<shotgun>> wound.

Will be offering more after wok!

Cheers,
Wayne

That's pretty cool. I'd love a feature like that.

I belive a sort of "history" screen is planned.

Indeed, I'm fairly sure that the little info screen in the overview menu is getting expanded. (But don't quote me on that)

This is an as-yet unannounced feature in Alpha 5

We keep logs of events as well as graphs of weath, mood, and population.

[StorymasterQ]

So, it IS going to be a Dwarf Fortress-like history?

Yep

I belive that is the plan.

I believe historical figures are a planned-thing as-well (people who were kidnapped would, for example come back as a raider)

[StorymasterQ]

Will the historical logs be detailed enough for an instant replay of the colony from start to finish?

No.

The history as yet records graphs of some key quantities, and records of certain events. It doesn't give a full replay and doesn't do "historical figures" - though this may appear later.

[StorymasterQ]

Alright, so if I were to rephrase, "Will the historical logs ever be detailed enough..." would the answer change to Yes?

I thought this was supposed to appear later (You mentioned it once or twice (the hist figs)).
(nothing more then that)
