Events
Events are random occurrences within Rimworld. They can happen at any time and with any frequency. However, the average negativity and saturation of events relies mainly on the game's chosen AI storyteller. Events consist of a variety of things, from mundane occurrences to colony-wide disasters. The player is alerted to an event's happening by the appearance of a small blue envelope on the right side of the screen which, when clicked, brings up a menu containing more information and (in some cases) an option to jump to the event's location.
