Description:
Rimrats are a native animal to the rimworlds and pre-date the wars that had taken place there. During the wars, rimrats were used in experiments to produce bioengineered weapons that would run into enemy territory and explode upon death (now commonly known as the 'boomrats'). Unlike their boomrat counterparts, rimrats still die in a natural fashion and only pose a minor threat as 'pests' with a mischievous curiosity for electrical wires.

This mod is compatible with all other mods (except the Muffalo Breeding mod) and has the source code included. Everyone is free to include this mod in any modpack. I require no credit or notification to use any part of this in other works. You're free to do with it what you please.

I would love to see a 4F compatible update of this.

Updated to 4F  ;D

looks like a nice little thing to put more wildlife into the game :)

as a suggestion: if able try do replace the boomrats with them in this case the mod would get on my top list :P

I'd rather not have them replace the boomrats altogether, but I made a little side-mod for removing boomrats from the game: http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4061.msg39935#msg39935. When used together, they should achieve the desired result :)

I just saw it :) Thank you so much :)

The debug screen shouldn't pop up if you turn off developer mode...

Interesting... not getting those pop-ups at all, even with developer mode turned on. Are there any other mods you're running alongside this one?

can we get mouse traps please? :)

Wow. You are da bes.

I love little mods like this.

Updated to Alpha 5  :D

Thanks for the update, I really like this little gray creature xD

Added aging and breeding! ;D was something I wanted to experiment with before starting another mod, and I think it turned out well.

You need to update this for Alpha 6. Those little bastards gave me good times ^^
Also, could you change the attack animation on electrical things to an eating animation? I think this would look even cooler.

Updated.

Thanks^^ Great work.

Sorry, I'm a complete noob here.
... How do I download the mod?

It's the little yellow link at the bottom of the first post, when you're logged in.

In which biomes will the Rimrats spawn?

The Arid Shrubland, Temperate Forest, Tropical Rainforest and Boreal Forest.

I'm just bumping this up /\ I love this mod, it makes you remember to hunt because the rimrats are busy destroying your defenses. Maybe add another animal for extra difficulty?

Bump again. This was one of my favorite mods and I want it back so bad!
