About this game

Crash-landing on an unknown planet is the least of your worries in the ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ Steam-rated sci-fi strategy sim RimWorld. With this Steam key, players will build a colony from the ground up, exploring dangerous terrain to gain research, recruit new colonists and fight alien lifeforms and opposing factions.

STORY GENERATOR

Witness the tragic, twisted, and triumphant stories that RimWorld throws at you through the AI Storyteller. Choose your storyteller and experience unique and random events featuring imprisoned pirates, desperate colonists, mass starvation, and survival of the fittest.

START SMALL, EXPAND

Turn your crew of crash-landed survivors into a vibrant colony by acquiring new people by any means necessary. Capture them in combat and force them to join your ranks if they want to survive, buy them from slave traders, or take in those willing to earn their keep in exchange for refuge

UNIQUE CITIZENS

Each individual that joins you will offer pros and cons to maintaining and expanding your colony. Choose a nobleman to recruit prisoners and negotiate trade prices, but be mindful that they will refuse to do physical work – choose a scientist to advance research, but expect them to perform social tasks well, or at all!

Watch on as your colonists determine how they will respond to other civilians – will they become starstruck lovers, marry the one, commit adultery, or fight like animals?

STUNNING WORLDS

See an awe-inspiring planet randomly generated from pole to equator. Decide where to crash land in a cold northern tundra, a parched desert flat, a temperate forest, or a steaming equatorial jungle. Each area has a variety of different animals, plants, and terrain as well as diseases, temperatures, and mineral resources.

Form a caravan of people, animals, and prisoners and set out on a journey across the planet. Rescue kidnapped former allies from pirate outposts, attend peace talks, trade with other factions, attack enemy colonies, and complete other quests.

Pack up and move your colony as one big convoy and use rocket-powered transport pods to travel faster.

AT ONE WITH NATURE

Tame wild animals and turn them into lovable pets to help boost morale. Use farm animals for food and material supplies, and train beasts to attack your enemies. With everything from cats, dogs, and chickens to grizzly bears, chinchillas, and exotic alien lifeforms, players will find a variety of exotic wildlife.

MONITOR YOUR COLONY

Players’ actions will have short and long-term effects on how the colony will respond and behave. Civilians who witness death, see unburied corpses or stay in the dark too long will feel disrespected, scared and anxious. High-stress levels will result in fewer capable workers and the possibility of violent break-outs among your people.

Wounds, infections, prosthetics, and chronic conditions are tracked on each body part and will affect each character’s capacities. Eye injuries make it hard to shoot or do surgery. Wounded legs slow people down.

Repair body parts with prosthetics ranging from primitive to transcendent. Go cheap and buy a wooden leg for your legless colonist to save money but slow the workforce down, or buy an expensive bionic leg to get them back in the fast lane.

Players can even extract, sell, buy, and transplant internal organs!
