Hey,

I just downloaded the Alpha 12d win zip file and Chrome just told me 'this file is not commonly downloaded and might be dangerous' and it gave me a big clear 'discard' button and a tiny little 'keep' button.

Clearly your wonderful creation is not dangerous.

Might be worth adding a note about that to an FAQ or whatever so people a) don't get scared by the message and b) can be shown how to 'keep' the file.

Google Chrome, At least on my end, doesn't do this by itself. Have you got any plugins or addons that might do this?

That's weird.  I use Chrome all the time, and have never seen it do that for RimWorld.  Might be an obscure security setting you've got turned on?  (I have seen it for other downloads, but I generally know what I'm doing on the internet, so I may have turned that off.)

Sometimes Chrome does that to random files. It's done it to RimWorld for me once or twice, It's even said that for Minecraft for me. It's 100% safe to ignore from trusted sources.
