In one of the Rimworld Universe primers, it is stated that the setting does not include "True aliens." I was wondering what exactly is meant by this. My impression is that it means anything alien-like in the game, for example some of the weirder animals, are actually genetically-engineered from Earth stock and therefore everything is derived from a terrestrial origin. Some clarification would be nice, though.
Well right now there are no hostile alien races in the game (aside from the wild life which goes beserk every now and again :o) but thats not to say they wont come in the future. Perhaps in the future?
I really need some aliens to play with! If someone can create some mod of this sort this would be great. I think this would required C# skills and this is why i can't do this on my own.

This!
but that said! there's mention of transanimals and there's the bit with "finding aliens but with further inspection they turned out to be human in origin" or something like that
So I wouuuuld say things
can get pretty "alien"
you dont need to use c# or dll to make aliens, but you will need textures if you want them to be non bipedal.
its just a matter of alot of xml stuff. Having said that, i dunno if you could make them a whole new set of needs or not, that might require Dlls

I know. Creating a new pawn is simple, but creating new playable pawn with other needs/moods require dlls.
you can create new needs no problem, thats xml. the problem is the differentiation. im not sure(because i havent looked) whether you can specifically set needs to bodies or not. if you can, then you can ostensibly make whole new races to join your colony no worries. atm you can certainly create mutated humans
I totally misread this post and thought that the OP was asking if there were Aliens(tm), like from the movie series Sigourney Weaver started off.
...and now I'm off to post a mod request :)
