ACTUAL ALIEN WILDLIFE...... how can there be wild boar and deer on a random alien planet you just crashed on....... seriously this bugs me really hard

Tynan has said that the wildlife should be earth-based or evolved versions of earth-based life. This is because the galaxy is being seeded with wildlife by the people who are out colonizing the galaxy. The other factions on the planet when you land are most likely responsible for bringing wildlife on their initial voyage from earth to wherever you are. This could have been several generations back or just from the previous generation. So seeing a muffalo which evolved from a buffalo is just as plausible as seeing a wild boar who is absolutely unchanged from the earth-born variety.

Yep. I believe that the current lore is that the Rimworld is an ancient human colony that collapsed for unspecified reasons. Thus all the ruins and such.

"Ancient compacted rubble rich in plasteel."
Some sort of psychic wave has swept over the landscape. Your colonists are okay, but...
It seems many of the scythers in the area have been driven insane.

plasteel is human made and ore chunks looks like derelict spacecrafts crashsites
