We’re back with another alpha of RimWorld! Alpha 5 brings on lots of juicy new features and improvements. You can follow our day-to-day work on the changelog.
+
| Changes = *Nerfed pila
−
 
+
*Turrets can now require manning to work - This is the case for mortars
−
If you own the game, you should get an update email from us. You can also get Alpha 5 by re-downloading from the link you used before (it is a permanent link and always has the newest version). Anyone still having trouble should start at this thread.
+
*Metal graphic replaced
−
 
+
*Language choice moved to main menu
−
Also note that this build will not load old savegames, so keep your old install separate if you want to finish an Alpha 4 colony.
+
*Raiders leave after doing sufficient damage
−
 
+
*Orbital drop raiders less numerous but can punch through thin roofs
−
== Release Trailer ==
+
*XML saver only saves data that does not match defaults - cleaner save files
−

+
*Mining plain rock sometimes leaves rock debris
−
 
+
*Starting equipment comes in drop pods
−
== Core Release ==
+
*Starting sleeping spots removed
−
* [[Raid#Siege|Sieges]] added. Raiders will now sometimes besiege the colony by setting up a fortified position nearby and bombarding you until you die or come out to break the siege. Of course this also means there are now researchable and buildable [[mortar]] weapons – both explosive and incendiary.
+
*Hooked in PDB loading so modders can use code debuggers to step through their code
−
* Escape ship added. You can now, at great cost, build a ship to escape the planet if you wish.
+
*Raiders will opportunistically kidnap incapacitated colonists and retreat
−
* Crashed ancient ship part incident added. Sometimes this bad boy will crash-land nearby and start emitting an ever-increasing psychic drone that slowly drives colonists insane. Attack it to make it stop, but beware its defenses.
+
*Time displayed in months and years
−
* New [[mechanoid]] type added – the [[scyther]].
+
*Weapon accuracy defined as 4 miss percentages for the different ranges (4/15/30/50 cells)
−
* Many new sound effects from the illustrious Alistair Lindsay.
+
*Changed loyalty and fear to a single value - mood
−
* A new gear system allows changing out of clothing. [[Clothing]] now has basic effects, like reducing damage or movement speed.
+
*Split witnessed death thought into witnessed ally death and witnessed stranger death
−
* There is now an info card you can view for most things in the game. For [[weapons]], it shows statistics about damage, accuracy, and so on. For [[animals]], it displays health, damage, meat amounts. Lots of other things can be inspected as well.
+
*Increased many research costs
−
* A game history tracker records the history of your colony in graphs of wealth, population, and happiness, as well as recording individual important events.
+
*Map generator will not produce empty deserts
−
* Game history is now uploaded automatically to our servers after an opt-in prompt is agreed to. This uploads your game history – the same one you see on your history graph – to us to help us balance future versions.
+
| NewContents =
−
* More translations added (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, others) and existing translations updated.
+

+
*Sieges
−
* Lots of other small improvements.

== Alpha 5 Balance/Hotfix ==
+
**Place sandbags
−
You all knew a hotfix was coming! It’s like a tradition now!
+
**Place mortars
−
 
+
**Eat, sleep, fight fires
−
The good thing is that this isn’t a bug hotfix, but a balance one. I’d been hearing a lot of reports that the global psychic drone event – causing -25 to mood – was harming play. So until I can rebalance it, it’s disabled in Alpha5b. The crashed ship part event seen in the release video is still present.
+
*Mortars
−
 
+
**Incendieary and Dry Explosive
−
To update, you just have to change one number in one file:
