Of course, Ideology is also completely moddable.Īlong with Ideology, today marks the arrival of the 1.3 update for RimWorld, a massive patch that changes nearly every aspect of the game. Ideology adds new quests, creatures, and a new ending. Players can create a colony of 'tree-worshipping cannibals who carve skulls into every piece of furniture, or blind tunnelers who shun the light,' just to list two examples given by Tynan.Īdditionally, players can expect a boatload of extra content to come with the expansion. To that end, the Ideology expansion will let players create a belief system that members of their colony follow. 'People want to have a sense of authorship over their stories.'
'For many years I've seen players create colonies with their own special themes - minimalist nomads, raiding pirates, mad cannibals, drug-worshippers,' wrote Tynan. Ideology, which according to a post on Steam partially written by Tynan took 15 months to develop, is meant for the players that created themed colonies. The expansion, titled Ideology, has been in development for the last 15 months and will give players extra control over the story of their colony, while the update changes nearly every facet of the game. RimWorld, the space-colony sim from Tynan Sylvester and Ludeon Studios, received both a major update and a new expansion today.
