![]() I wanted to make sure we had the development power to make the game generate these kinds of powerful family-oriented emotions without cutting corners or excessive jank." Reproduction, birth, baby care and child raising all have a lot of fine details and rich content that I always knew would take substantial effort to get right. However, it took a long time to get here because these are such complex topics. "Extending that into RimWorld makes obvious sense and it’s something I’ve always been interested in. This is true in the western stories that RimWorld is inspired by as well. From 'No, I am your father,' to 'I will find you and I will kill you,' to 'You are the father,' family relationships are at the center of story. "From the most classic novels of high culture to the bawdiest barroom tales, questions of family obligation, sacrifice, life and death, and relationships are central to our most compelling stories. "Family-linked drama is the bread and butter of stories across older media," says Sylvester. You can see why adding babies and the associated familial relationships into that dynamic makes sense. Rimworld is one of those games people describe as a 'story generator', because the fun is very much in that narrative of how your colony grows, adapts, deals with disaster, and ultimately how it ends.

There are multiple factions in this mod, but only one is enabled by default when starting a new game, the Skulking Mammalkin Tribe, composed of Barkkin, Bonecrowns, Wiretails, Hidewings, and Seertusks. ![]() Important Note: For an xenotype to appear during gameplay (outside starting with it), it needs to belong in a faction.
