RIMWORLD ALPHA 17 | Return | Ep 75 | Let's Play RimWorld!
18RimWorld is a scifi western base building game currently in Alpha 17. Alpha 17 features a new world building with rivers and roads, and a new more dynamic overworld.

Change list:
Roads and rivers
World now generates with roads and rivers
There are five road types: path, dirt road, stone road, ancient asphalt road, ancient asphalt highway
Some roads generate with things alongside, like concrete barriers or ancient lampposts
There are four sizes of river: huge river, large river, river, and creek
Rivers generate more in rainy areas, move towards the sea (ignoring tiny lakes) and merge as appropriate
Rivers and roads generate on local maps as expected.
Stone roads generate using local stone and a new flagstone terrain type.
Visitors, caravans, traders, and raiders tend to arrive and leave on the roads.
World generation is more chronological now. First continents form, then rivers, then an ancient society is shallowly simulated to generate ancient roads, then modern settlements and roads are generated (alongside ancient roads, often).
World quests
New “site parts” world site generation system. It allows assembling together a world destination from several ‘parts’. Mixing and matching will allow us to create a huge number of combinations.
New world quest incident: Item stash. An allied faction tells you about a stash of randomly-generated reward items, guarded by a random threat. You can send a caravan to defeat the threat and collect the reward.
New world quest incident: Bandit camp. An allied faction asks you to defeat a bandit camp, and offers you a reward if you do so.
New world quest incident: Caravan request. An allied faction asks you to deliver a particular resource to a particular base in a particular time frame, for a special reward.
New ‘long-range mineral scanner’ building slowly scans for precious resource lumps nearby in the world. You need to send a caravan to collect them. Lumps may be defended.
New caravan incident: Payment demand. Raiders demand items or slaves from your caravan; if you refuse, they attack.
Other new stuff
Added smokepop belt. Emits a cloud of accuracy-reducing smoke when the wearer is shot. Smoke also prevents turret targeting.
Characters can now tend their own wounds (with a penalty to effectiveness).
Added bowler hat.
Corpses now leak black corpse bile while rotting.
Vents can be opened and closed with a flick action.
Add option to render hats only on the main game map (but not on the portraits in the pawn bar).
Bills can now be temporarily paused when satisfied, until automatically reactivated at a lower level. This reduces the need for pawns to repeatedly return to the work bench each time the count falls just one below the target count.
You can now create your own packaged survival meals (with appropriate research and ingredients).
All pawns now have “head butt” attacks they can use if they’re missing all other attacking body parts.
Added a “caravan packing spot” so you can tell your caravans where to assemble.
When trees burn, the leave behind burned tree stumps.
When structures and plants burn, they leave behind ash.
Carpets and wooden floors can now burn.
New training lessons for explaining shield belts, and how door opening speed is affected by material type.
Added ambrosia sprout incident. This sprouts a grove of the pleasurable, nutrition, and addictive ambrosia fruit trees nearby.
New ‘wimp’ trait makes pawn incapacitated from even a relatively small amount of pain.
New chain shotgun weapon
