[RimWorld was reviewed in the December issue (12/2018) of the german games magazin GameStar.]

RimWorld was reviewed in the December issue (12/2018) of the german games magazin GameStar.

It got two pages for the review, an overall positive feedback and a strong recommendation.
All in all it received a really good assessment with 85 of 100 points, earning the GameStar Gold-Award and a GameStar for the Game-Design.

Here are some impressions of the two page long review:

Many times when people post smaller mods their threads get buried under the threads of bigger, more established mods which generate more activity. They go unseen because they sink to page 2 of the releases forum and people who don't check the forums daily might never even see them.

To solve this issue this thread is here. If you're modder you can make a post with a link and short description of your mod and it will always be at the bottom of the thread where people can find it easily. If you're a mod user wanting to check out which new mods have been released you can simply go to the new posts, same as any other thread and see all the new releases since your last visit.



Rules

• One post per mod
  If you've just updated your mod and have already posted, you can edit your announcement post if you wish.
  
  
• Only the mod author may post a mod
  This is mainly to help with rule #1 so we don't get situations where a mod author posts his mod, then someone else didn't see it and posts it again.
  
  
• Only mod announcements in this thread
  Any post that is not a mod announcement will be removed. If you have feedback/criticism/etc. regarding this thread, send me a PM. If you have feedback/criticism/etc. regarding a mod, post in the mod's thread or PM the author.

To get you started, here is a quick template on what your announcement post could look like

Title of the mod
[Link to the mod's forum thread]
[Optional: State if it's on Steam or not]
A short description of what your mod is about. Should be no longer than 1-2 sentences. 

Example:

Z-levels

Not released on Steam
Adds a system of z-levels akin to Dwarf Fortress to the game.

Note: I've hijacked this thread because milon currently isn't available.

As requested by Tynan I'm posting this error description here in the bug forum, even though it might be mod related.

So here is problem:

I was updating my mods and with one mod I have the problem that whenever I load a game, it throws hash-collision errors.
Additionally most of the map isn't created (mountains are missing, ...)

The log only has these errors: (excerp)

Additional infos:
- I have changed nothing in the load/save code from a14 to a15
- This was tested with a world created with only Core active -> saved -> mods activated -> load game -> errors
- Additional tests: - new world with all mods active -> saved -> load game -> errors
                           - new world with only two/three mods active -> saved -> load game -> no errors

- I have one mod where the one mod (+Misc Core) is enough to trigger it (Misc. incidents) but I can also trigger the errors without it active
- I have tested it a bit but can't find anything.

There is another report on this forum with this behaviour, but it can't be from my mods, as they weren't updated at the time of the first post.

[attachment deleted by admin - too old]

Sorry to post it here, but I have a problem with a graphic where I don't know how to resolve it or even what exactly the problem is.

But first things first:
I have a mod where I have modified the pawn class for my usage with robots. I will load the graphics, resolve the renderer and replace the head graphic with an alpha graphic and the body with the defined graphic.

This works on my computer without problems (Win10 x64) but on the machine of an user (I think he is an Linux user) it crashes when I call the resolve on the renderer BEFORE I define the new head graphic. I just load it to the variable when it crashes..

// HERE IT CRASHES ACCORDING TO THE LOG:
            Drawer.renderer.graphics.ResolveAllGraphics(); //Causes errors?

// HERE THE NEW GRAPHIC WILL BE SET...
            UpdateGraphics();

Do you have by chance an idea what the problem could be?

I really have my problems finding anything because here on Windows 10 it all works without any errors..

Thank you in advance for your help.

I've read this on reddit (especially BellisColdwine description) and thought this might be something useful for RimWorld.
But how could it be implemented, so that users could write descriptions (so that Tynan still have time to code) but we'll still have nice background descriptions ingame?

My idea would be a page that fills itself from XML data. The XML data contains the Header, author and the description itself.
The data would come from a forum page where users could drop their suggestions.
The best suggestions will then find their way into the official XML collection and be in the game.

A possible problem would be the right of usage transfer to Ludeon...

What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? Suggestions?

Here is a list of a few of the changes in the C# code between a11 and a12 that I've found so far.

• pawn.playercontroler -> pawn.drafter
• Find.UIRoot.Map -> Find.WindowStack
• LayerWindow -> Window - DoWindowContent
• pawn.playercontroller.AreaAllowed -> pawn.playerSettings.AreaRestrictions
• GenCellfinder.RandomStandableClosewalkCellNear -> CellFinder.RandomClosewalkCellNear
• Find.HomeArea.Grid -> Find.AreaHome
• pawn.Name.StringFull -> pawn.Name.ToStringFull
• TryFindRandomCellNearWith(...) -> CellFinder.TryFindRandomReachableCellNear(...)
• GenCellFinder.RandomStandableClosewalkCellNear -> CellFinder.RandomClosewalkCellNear
• pawn.kindDef.pointsCost -> pawn.kindDef.combatPower
• pawn.carryHand -> pawn.carrier

I'm refactoring my code for the incident rumors of ruins.
Right now it can support different story lines with different treasures to be found via defs.
The new storyline will be selected randomly when the old one is finished.

My question now is:
Do you have any good ideas for where we can send the colonists and what they may find there?

Here is an example of the language file for each story arch:

Teleportation

Description:
This is a small mod that gives you a resource teleportation platform. This will help you transport resources from far away into your base.

Modder:

• Haplo (Programming)
• mrofa (Graphics)

Download:

• Teleporter V1.12.0
• Teleporter on GitHub

Screens:
Teleporter:


How to install:
- Unzip the contents and place them in your RimWorld/Mods folder.
- Activate the mod in the mod menu in the game.

Additional Infos:
How to build up a working teleport:
Place the one teleporter near your external outpost, where your colonists are near the resources.
Place the second teleporter near your in-base stockpile, where the resources should be transfered to.
Set the storage in your sender teleporter to the SAME PRIORITY as your receiving stockpile.
Set the sender teleporter state to sending.
Now your colonists will fill the teleporter at the outpost with resources, they will transfer to your base to be placed in your main stockpile.

Issues:
-If you set its priority higher than your other stockpile, or if you don't have free configured space for the resources, the colonists will carry the resources from the receiver back to the sender.

It must be loaded before the other parts!

It also comes with the following functions/items:
Colonist Keys: Place/Group
   This allows you to use the keys 6, 7, 8, 9 to create teams
   The key 0 releases all drafted colonists, BACKSPACE jumps randomly into your colony
   (Note: This needs a new colony to work; the keys can be reconfigured)
BrainPals
   Some brain implants to enhance your colonists
   (an idea from 'Old Mans War')


Misc.  Bees 'n' Honey

Build beehives where you can harvest your very own honey.
You need to research 'beekeeping'. Once done look out for wild beehives to find a queen bee which can be transferred to your own beehive.
With your beehives you can grow new queens to expand your hives. They will also produce honey for you to eat or sell.
Alternatively you can brew mead (honey-wine) from the honey.

Additional Descriptions:
- Mobile AI
Mai is a researchable and buildable mobile artificial intelligence.
You need to research the basics, how an ai is programmed and how to build a mobile body for her. After you've done this you can build the automatic assembler (1), where most of the body will be produced automatically. After the assembler built your first ai body, you can activate it (2), as long as you have a crafting professional (level 9) to do so.
Note: Once Mai (3) has been awoken, she won't allow further access to her programming, so denying you the abillity to upgrade her. Because of this, you should research everything, that you want for her to know, before hand.
Your Mai has, because of her metal body, a higher damage tollerance. She doesn't need to eat. But she does need to recharge her internal batteries.
Caution: Once her damage is too high or even when her batteries are empty, she will initiate her emergency self destruction program. Try not to be anywhere nearby when she does that..

- Enhanced Mobile AI
If you stumble about an AI Core, you can use that to give Mai some enhanced abilities.
She can withstand a bit more damage and is a bit harder to hit, she learns faster, heals herself a bit better and much more. All in all she is 'enhanced'.

- Keybinding: Colonist Groups
The keys 6, 7, 8, 9 can be used to define where colonists should go to.
Use them like this: Draft all the colonists you want to set the positions for and position them. Now press SHIFT+7 (for group 7) and the positions of your drafted colonists will be saved. To recall the positions just press 7.
This can be done for 6, 7, 8 and 9.
Key 0 has another function: Once you press it, all your drafted colonists, who don't have an active job, will be undrafted. Press SHIFT+0 to switch the recall mode between POSITION and GROUP.
Then there are the keys SHIFT+Q and SHIFT+E: SHIFT+Q sends your colonist to bed. SHIFT+E sends your colonist to eat. But they will only go, if they are hungry or tired enough.
Another key is the F1 key. If you press it, you will jump to a random position inside your home zone.
Note: You can rebind the keys to your own desire with the normal keybinding options.


- MapGenerator: List of blueprints
The MapGenerator has the following blueprints to work with.
These buildings can be placed when a new map is generated:
-Basic Rooms (some simple rooms similiar to the vanilla ruins)
-Bathhouse (an abandond bathhouse with pool)
-Billiardroom (a small house that still may contain a billiard table)
-Security room (a small house where old security was stationed)

How to make an .dll-mod

Description
This is a small demonstration about how you can make a mod that's using an assembly (.dll).
With this little project you learn about the assembly and it's program. Additionally you'll build your own small dark matter generator and an animated wind turbine.
Note, that this is Windows only, as I have no experience with Linux or Mac. Sorry..


Needed Tools
You need the following tools:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition (free, download here)
- A basic understanding of C#
- RimWorld


Download
Download the project from Git-Hub.


Preparations
Before you start the project, you need to make the following preparations:
-Extract the file to a folder of your choice
-Go into your RimWorld-Folder:
    - Copy ..\RimWorld000Win\RimWorld000Win_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll
      to ..\YourProjectFolder\RimWorld_ExampleProjectDLL\Source-DLLs\
    - Copy ..\RimWorld000Win\RimWorld000Win_Data\Managed\UnityEngine.dll
      to ..\YourProjectFolder\RimWorld_ExampleProjectDLL\Source-DLLs\


Enter The Project
Now that you've prepared everything, it is time to enter the project and take a look into what makes the pump do, what it does and where the problem is..
So open the project by starting <YourExtractionFolder>\RimWorld_ExampleProjectDLL.sln
If everything is installed correctly, Visual Studio should startup, opening your project.
Everything else is described inside.
And once you're finished, you have created your very own dark matter generator and maybe an animated wind turbine.

With this in mind.. Have fun exploring the secrets of the RimWorld code. 
See you on the other side,
Haplo

Hello,

does anyone know of a way to define new variables in c# which can be defined via xml?
And if you know how to, can you please tell me?
I'm looking for a way to make ApplyDamageMin, ApplyDamageMax, ApplyDamageTicks of a Building accessable via xml, but so far I haven't found anything that works..

PowerSwitch

Description:
This mod expands the available power switch with a few automatic functions.
It also adds hidden conduits with improved statistics.

You start with a simple power switch, which can switch the power transmission through it on and off.
The additional features need to be researched.
After you've done your tinkering you'll have the following functions available:
-Manual switching
-An automatic pawn in room switch on
-An automatic pawn nearby switch on
-An automatic enemy found switch on
-An automatic enemy found switch off
-Timed switching (programable)
    Repeat clicking on the UI to change the times.
    The set times are shown in the description
-Hidden power conduits are also available through research

Modder:

• Haplo

Download:

• GitHub

Pre-Beta 19 versions can be found on



Screens:



How to install:
- Unzip the contents and place them in your RimWorld/Mods folder.
- Activate the mod in the mod menu in the game.


Issues/Notes:
-Additional features need to be researched.
-Don't connect a consumer (lamp, turret,..) directly to the switch.
When it is switched off, the consumer will automaticly reconnect to the next available transmitter.
So add a power conduit or a wall and let it connect there instead.

If you find a bug or think that something should be changed, please don't hesitate to tell me.


Description:
- Manual On/Off: Base functionability, available from the start
- Pawn Detection in Room: Available after research with the normal switch. Detects, if an Pawn (human, animal) is in the room
- Pawn Detection within 7 squares: Available after research. Normal pawn detection mode for wall switches. Normal switches can be switched between this mode and the pawn in room mode by repeatedly pressing the selection button.
- Enemy detection (within 1/3 of the map): Available after research. Available modes: Switch on when detected and switch off when detected.
- Timer: Available after research: Switches on and off at specified times. Time is initially set to 19h->On and 5h->Off. This can be changed by pressing the buttons repeatedly.

Workplaces

Discontinued as of alpha 8
As alpha 8 comes with everything my workplace provided, I'll discontinue this mod.
If someone wants to use anything out of it, feel free to do, what ever you want.
Credits aren't needed anymore.

Description:
This mod is the evolution of my first mod 'Blacksmith's Workplace'. It implements all the original functionality and expands on it.
It has two workplaces: The original Blacksmith's Workplace and the newly created Weaponsmith's Workplace.
To use the second you must first read the book 'Weapon construction for dummies'. If you've done this already, there is a whole new world of weapon creation that awaits you..

Warranty: Single functions may need a higher understanding of crafting to be accessible.

Blacksmith's Workplace:
-Smelt Metal into Metal Bars
-Smelt Weapons into Metal Bars
-Forge Metal Bars into Metal

Weaponsmith's Workplace:
-Needs research
-Build Weapons out of Metal Bars

[The Blacksmith's Workplace X]

Blacksmith's Workplace

This mod is superseded by my new mod 'Workplaces'!

Description:
Here is a small mod that adds a complimentary workshop to the new stonecutter's table.
As the stonecutters table gives you the ability to make stone blocks out of rock debris, the blacksmith's workplace gives you the ability to smelt the slag debris to extract a bit of metal from it.
This mod is made to give you a plausible addition to the stonecutters table. One, which uses the as of yet unused slag debris as a resource.

How to install:
- Unzip the contents and place them in your RimWorld/Mods folder.
- Activate the mod in the mod menu in the game.

Notes:
This mod is only a small testing mod from me as I'm no modder. So, if you want to use and expand on it, feel free to do as you see fit.
If you have time, leave me a small notice so I can take a look into what wonders you created with it.. 

Changelog:
I've added two additional (eXtended) variants of this mod:

The Blacksmith's Workplace X (Version 1.1)
This version adds a new resource and extends the process:
You smelt the metal slag to Metal Bars and, in a second step, the Metal Bars to Metal.
The Blacksmith's Workplace X+ (Version 1.2)
This version is the same as the X version, but gives you additionally the possibility to smelt your not needed weapons to Metal Bars (and these further to Metal).

I did my best to balance these properly, so they fit seemlesly into the base game.
If you think there should be something corrected, please don't hesitate to tell me.
