Factions

[Workload]

EDIT: I change it from races to different human factions
Just wondering if you plan on making different Human factions that the player could recruit.
Give each Faction their own traits/skills    and for names and story I’m not the best with making names up. So if you got a better one please let me know and I’ll change it and add traits. I just put down some example ones, they are not the best but hoping you guys got some nice ones that are fare and make sense to Rimworld. 
The skills should be around +10 all together and no higher then +3 or -3 on one skill.

Can't find the exact quote right now, but I believe Tynan stated we won't get closer to aliens than muffalos and post-human civilizations.

[Semmy]

The closest to aliens the game might get really really maybe are xeno-humans.
This was stated by tynan.

See it as an challenge for the modders to make aliens d-;

You can separate renderer types for different creatures (like squirrels not getting human bodies ) so it shouldn't be too hard. Still, me, I'm waiting for WH40K mod

[DeltaV]

Yeah, if you read the creative rewards guideline-lore thing it tells you that essentially there are no aliens in the game's universe, or at least none have been found since nobody can go faster than light.

darn o well I can live with that. I just saw a lots of other suggest with aliens my bad, will check out the guideline-lore
Maybe can switch these to all human and say their different factions of people/ what reigns they came from. could this work?

The game background establishes that there are wide varieties of mid-level tech human groups, including dwarves and giants, so it's reasonable that different "races" with varying skill proclivities and aptitudes might be included as development progresses. Personally, I'm looking forward to making an actual Dwarf Colony, though I suspect that will be a while down the road.
