Adding Races, is it Possible?

[DizzyCrash]

I have a idea, a idea that will make me want to learn the system and become a modder, but I have to know first... is it possible to add alien races? To be playable along side humans, my only idea at the moment with my minimal knowlage is to change all the hairs to look like strange alien faces but than having to deal with every time you put on a hat they turn into a human...
Is the modding tools flexible enough to add something like another race to the game, iv never seen any mods that allow that and so I am skeptical but I need suggestions other than hair to make it work.

Well... You don't ask the right questions. Or wait long enough!

if you want to add another "humanlike" pawn to the game, yes its possible. As the playable race? no, you would be restricted to changing the textures only really. I mean with the power to add your own dlls the game you could technically do almost anything given skill level.

Have a look at Shinzy's mods 'Norbals' & 'pirates' the norbals are a custom humanoid race and the pirates are a pirate (like cutlasses and muskets) faction, they are both awesome and I don't play without them or forum search in mod help for 'races' or 'custom races' had a look myself last week and it gave a few results with some people asking for help and people giving some answers

Your question has been asked many times before. The community grows tired of repeated questions; plus, you didn't wait very long either.

Let us be clear, he stated that this site was only "like" the worst for answering questions. This raises the question of which RimWorld site is:
A) the absolute worst answering questions
B) the best for answering questions

Also, for custom races, check out the Droid mod which adds completely new playable and controllable droids pretty much proving that, YES, you can make completely new races that function.

Given how, I have no idea.
