Question from Something Awful here. Ludeon: What's a rectal core?

[Pryomaniac Ida]

I came upon a dead Thrumbo in my game (already dead)


And it seems to have endured an extreme rectal coring. the Rimworld wiki was of no help when searching for the word "rectal", and we were all very curious what a rectal coring is in Rimworld, and what counts as an extreme one as opposed to say a minor one.

Please advice.

That'd be from a mod.

Really? What mod adds that?



I have never seen it before or since. And none of the mods are related to combat or body functions.

Just curious,
why do you care about that an alien creature got an rectal core ? It got a different anatomy then others anyway.
But if you would found a rectal core at your pawn's it would be a different thing :-)

If names are any indication, my money's on "Share the load".

Actually, what Share The Load does is allow multiple people to haul resources to a single construction blueprint or frame, rather than just one person. Pretty good mod!

No I think he's right. If any mod is the butt mod then share the load is the butt mod. Further research is required.

Well it appears to be a condition and not a body part, but that just raises further questions. Maybe some things were not meant to be learned.

Use notepad++ or similar and search your Rimworld directory for that phrase. Should surface the XML file that defines. Now you know where it's coming from.

Maybe that thrumbo received that injury from a troll. There are trolls.

The butt mystery continues.

0 mentions of rectal in vanilla xml defs.

My guess is a bug in rimatomics.  Your thrumbo has a nuclear core for a butt.

edit:  actually i wouldn't be surprised if it was the surgery mod doing something weird.

The butt mystery remains.
