RimWorld Alpha 9 - Tales 'o' Drinking

The shields reminds me of the ones from Knights of the Old Republic

As always looking really good! Can't wait to try it out

Please make it so that you attract villagers that make sense.

A John do Good wouldn't decide to live in my human meat farm/restaurant if there are other choices available to him. It is nigh impossible to find new members for my cannibal utopia..

Finally :)

The game keeps getting deeper and deeper, great work Tynan!

great work, since under the info tab on the colonist its said "race: human" does that mean there is gonna be added new races ? aliens ? 

Amazing. This game gets better and better by the day. You are very good at what you do. Thank you. 

I've tried the game (don't understand me in a bad way) and I'm waiting on the steam version :) but it has only one problem I'm from europe and steam has ratio USD vs € in 1:1 so in USA it's for 30$ but in europe is (gonna be) for 30€ and it's pretty big difference, I mean really big difference :( it will cost extra 5$ cuz if euro which is damn much when the normal cost is already at 30$ I usualy don't buy games at this price but this one I'd like on the other hand with this "extra" cost?... :(

The crop animations are seriously making me trip.

is there any chance you might add like a trade system that allows random people walking by your colony to buy stuff? theres already sculptures to sell in like a booth or what not, and even alcohol for a tavern and beds i guess also. i feel like a trade system for those wondering around would really broaden up the game because honestly every time i play the game i get to a certain point where it leaves me thinking "ok, what next". after all the research is done and everything is built, theres really nothing else to do except restart another game. rimworld really isnt 1 of those games where ill ever use the spaceship ending. after all the work i put into a colony to be self sufficient, that ending is the last thing id want to do or really ever do because i like seeing my colony thrive. a system in place where you could get some silver without having to mine or trade to ships would really help those areas without a lot of mountains because steel is extremely limited so you go long drawn out minutes and sometimes hours just waiting for a bulk trader to sell you some steel. honestly i dont really see any other point of people wondering into the colony other then cannon fodder for attackers. is a system like this in the works??? is it something youve thought of doing???

Tynan Sylvester  what do you think about the multilayer and what have you got to say about all the hype and rumours about multilayer in alpha 10 (the next alpha)??

The primary ingredient of beer is barley!

This is incredible work! This game is already one of my all time favorites and you're making it better and better. This might actually become the ultimate gaming experience. Thanks for that (and sorry if i'm over-enthusiastic but this game deserves it)

You sir, are a genius. Just have he colonists able to have children, and perfection is achieved

Beer made exclusively from hops?  Hops are a flavoring additive,  That would be like making ice cream out of 100% vanilla beans. 

Bunch of raiders show up. Colonist brings peace offering of alcohol. Raiders get drunk. Forget about raiding. Soft targets when hungover.

This is my dream.

Tynan are you thinking of adding vehicles to Rim?Something simple like a car or a bike cause you know large tundras are never fun walking

Honestly if there's a lot of gore happening around a single person they should vomit lol.

Omfg One day after my birthday

Shield kill the game ... -,-

Will you guys go onto steam?????
Love your game :D

I think it would be Funny if a gun is a very Poor quality, that it has a chance to explode in the users hand  taking off a hand or two or just harming them or the gun Jamming having the person have to fire again  For Grenades well mainly just a very deadly Boom in the poor souls hand.

do you plan on improving the faction system and bringing a whole new meaning to asking for reinforcements and such? Because that was one of the main things that interested me when the alpha came out containing it

I'm not sure how this would work but I was thinking about the taming of specific wild animals. Possibly wolves and slowly domesticating them, maybe helping hunters or becoming guard dogs. Or maybe camels and horses to use as transportation for larger maps.


Just wondering if it would be a good addition to the game.

It would be great if you make more harder enemies like a giant spider,or a robot that can regenerate his limbs,and random disasters like tsunamis,tornadoes,earthquakes.And also a nuke. (Sorry for my english)

Anyone else wishing that there would be work with caves? I tried hollowing out a spot in the middle of a mountain so I'd have a safe place to build my spaceship but couldn't get a big enough space to actually construct the thing. Just make a system for controlled collapses.

I hope you will read this Tynan Sylvester but I would really appreciate if you added a ability for colonists to have a melee weapon and a gun equipped at the same time for example: you get into a firefight with your colonists and you send one of the colonists to fight melee normally he would just use his fists but with a knife equipped he would use the knife. Just a small sugestion :)

When does it come out on steam?

Can you take the personal shields cause I wanna use 1

how to update RimWorld Alpha 9 ? pls

Well my colony was recently saved from everyone snapping during a psychic drone when beer rained down in drop pods. This is the best update.

Rimworld is my favorite indiegame of all time :D I love it and I spend 7328957297 hours playing it xD Thank you, Tynan!

This update is looking good, but i gotta say it was a bit wierd watching the colonists getting drunk and puking everywhere.

Will you add an ammo mechanic for range weapon ??

Great update man. Future of RimWorld keeps looking better. Keep up the great work and I look forward to playing it!

how do you activate the debug console?

I have a question on art, when i do small pieces of art it says its like 1700 work amount. Why is that?

Very nice game

how did you make colinests have a mental break

We all need water to survive, why not add a water pump, storage devices, and other means and productions for it.

It's been almost 6 years already.... where did the time go?
