Reproduce and create families - by both natural and artificial means
Ludeon Studios reveals RimWorld - Biotech as the third expansion to its sci-fi colony sim, coming later this month.īiotech is focused around three major features: The diversity of people makes each colony unique. Over the course of long games, players develop a motley group of refugees, pirate raiders, purchased slaves, and crashlanded survivors. You’ll acquire more colonists by taking in refugees, capturing people in combat and turning them to your side, buying them from slave traders, rescuing them, or taking in migrants. A genetically-engineered assassin can do nothing but kill – but he does that very well. A nerdy scientist is great at research, but cannot do social tasks at all.

A farm oaf knows how to grow food, but cannot do research. A nobleman will be great at social skills (for recruiting prisoners or negotiating trade prices), but refuse to do physical work. They'll be accountants, homemakers, journalists, cooks, nobles, urchins, and soldiers.Įach character has a background that affects how they play. In RimWorld, your colonists are not professional settlers – they’re survivors from a crashed passenger liner. We also take ideas from indie hits like FTL (our semi-random event format) and Prison Architect (its way of presenting a complex world in a comprehensible, interactable way). In terms of game design, the game draws most from the 800-pound gorrilla of the simulation genre, Dwarf Fortress. The Warhammer 40,000 universe also forms part of our inspiration.
This is where it gets its subtle Western vibe - frontier living, an arid environment, sparse law enforcement, and the constant threat of outlaws. We're also heavily inspired by science fiction novels like Dune and Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space series (which both Alistair Lindsay and I are huge fans of). In its fiction, RimWorld draws a lot from Firefly.
