I would like a mod that removes drugs completely, lowers amount of mental breakdowns, maybe removes cannibalism (makes humans inedible).
Would be great for me because I have a nephew I think would really love this game but I dont want to explain YAYO or Smokeleaf to an 8 year old kid (explaining why a guy is freaking out on flake is kind of weird to talk about with a kid).
Anyway hopefully nobody spears me for making this suggestion, I just thought of it the other day
might be a way for rimworld to tap into all those MC playing kids, have a KID FRIENDLY mode or mod.
Anyway thanks for reading this, I know some people will get mad when I say censorship.
lol :)
the amount of censorship you would need to have in the game is quite bigger than just yayo.
"oh those wargs are just playing with the colonist"
"these friendly people just sell people for funcies"
"raiders like to take colonists to hang around in their bases, they will be fine"
I found it's a good idea. Maybe something some modders could do collectively. I have not that much free time for modding lately but hey it could be nice indeed.
Having a precise list of what to remove from the game will help anyone willing to try to help or make the mod
Maybe instead of removing drugs just rename them and their interactions. Might even be able to do a localization mod and change the wording of drugs to "Toys". Have "Toy use policies" and make some items like 'puzzle cubes' and 'lego blocks' as the different drugs. There would be several things to rename from the growing plants, recipes, and moodlets. Would have to get creative on how to handle addiction, but I think you could make the actual drug game mechanic family friendly.

I grew up in a country which censors a lot of stuff in favor for younger audiences, and it sucked.
Drugs & cannibalism is not ok, but shooting raiders or letting them starve to death in a prison cell is? Is making love in a bed ok, or does this also need
explanation censorship?
Maybe you should accept the fact that RW isn't made for kids, and children are clever enough to circumvent censorship if it's just deactivating a mod. Get your nephew Kerbal Space Program or something else which is suitable for his/her age.
Censoring content of a game just becouse youre too lazy to explain kid what he/she should know as soon as its posible is kinda ridiculous , just let him learn that if one takes drugs there are bad consequencess,if you shoot peaple they die(8 years old is enough to comprehend such concepts),slapping reality in the face make humans grow thats how it is ,deal with it.
give hi ma break
he is just concern his nephew may start to smoke smokeleaf and start shoot some people with a warg as a pet
Rimworld is the worst game to censor other than Dwarf Fortress. Literally every single aspect of it is death and violence and everything like that.
Just let the child think drugs are good until all of their colonists die to chemical damage and the ones who don't go berserk. That'l teach drugs are bad wayyy better than having no drugs tbh.

What about violently ripping organs and limbs off of colonists? People getting kidnapped? And so on and so forth?
The issue with censorship so it could appeal to a younger audience is what exactly do you think should be censored? If your only issue is drugs, I honestly think that your nephew is going to be too young to understand or even properly fuel a drug economy or they're old enough to understand and a video game won't really make a difference on their mentality about them.
Sort of like how if he's shooting people in Rimworld he won't suddenly think that shooting someone IRL is okay. But that's just be two cents.
Maybe check this game out? http://store.steampowered.com/app/672630/Academia__School_Simulator/
I don't know much about it though.
> That'l teach drugs are bad wayyy better than having no drugs tbh.
I think you are on to something here. What he should do is look into making a mod that makes the drugs have even worse effects than they already do. Anyway, I think he may have the wrong game for a kid, TBH.

I feed my colonists yayo as if it was candy, but that's because I know 100% what it does and have spare kidneys all the time, but a child will probably just start crying when their pawn gets brain or kidney damage.
Yea, we also need to remove guns, because guns are bad.
Also, why are the raiders living outside my colony? I want to make my colony a huge sign "RAIDERS WELCOME" so they don't feel like they're angry because my colonists are such xenophobes.
We should also learn with tribals on how their culture is great, screw space travelling, i want to know how this muffallo shaman is awesome.
Also, forgot to add; WHY ARE THEY BUILDING WALLS???? Walls should be completely removed from the game, we should be building BRIDGES!
By the way, this game's code is sexist.

There's
space travel in this game? Weren't FTL, stargates, wormholes, warp drive, etc already censored? Probably to prevent bad things like cultural cross-contamination, interstellar trade and colonial expansion. The evil 4x's of eXpansion, eXtermination, eXploitation, eXploration must come to an end!
No replacement in the works of course. That would be some sort of philosophical support for natural selection, survival of the fittest mechanisms and so on -- clearly a divisive and adversarial environment.
Flowers for everyone; but just the soft pretty ones that can't survive on their own... If any of those survived.

Yeah right, everyone must seize the means of production to archieve complete space utopia.
My girls ( 8 & 10 ) cope quite well with the unrestricted version of Rimworld.
Truth be told, I withhold some information from them about all the possibilities in the game and enjoy that they are happy
exploring the content and mods on their own.
They never reached the state where they came into contact with drugs.
On the other hand children are quite perceptive to certain truth and know that nature is not only puppies and kittens.

Congratulations, sir, based on this affirmation alone, I can verify you are quite a responsible parent on this regard.
