Void gods?

[JimmyAgnt007]

Well without Tynan commenting on his plans its all speculation anyways.  Though like i said for my idea, as long as your colony doesnt make an effort to support the Void Gods then they wouldnt have any impact on things beyond what they already do.

So this thread has got me interested in reading more the backstory & lore of Tynan's Rimworld universe.

I've been through the links on the main Ludeon.com page and the wiki, but don't see much in the way of that kind of content. That fiction primer was interesting, but only an overview.

Is it all just scattered around the forums in various places?

I personally wouldn't mind some cult/religion building options. A pew and alter would be cool. Maybe candle lights or other symbols you could build. The option to have organized worship in a temple you build.

As far as I know, there isn't too much content on the lore in Rimworld.
There is:
- Colonization on worlds on the rim of the universe, hence Rimworld.
- Animal sent out to inhabit the worlds before hand as well.
- Thousands of years of this happening, explaining the natives.  Townpeoples are probably already native or also shipwrecked colonies.  Pirates, same too.
- Hints of Void Gods, but no true evidence.
- Mechanoids were originally manufacturing and farming equipment until weaponized and went rogue with a hivemind.
- Glitterworlds exist, worlds where the people have become so transcendent that they could resemble gods.  Highly advance technology and most likely are responsible for the space traders.

That's about all I found on the lore, but focusing on the core game mechanics are a first priority is a good thing.  Don't want to throw in hundreds of ideas before you stabilize the base game first.  Lore can come afterwards.

Scythers for cutting hay, rice and corn, centipades for planting and preparing the soil... ah these were the good day.

Lore is always good, but right now, rimworld shows an amazing story though it's mechanics alone.
