Ideoligions are both a system of mechanics introduced by, and the primary focus of, the Ideology DLC. They allow colonies to introduce a variety of new restrictions and capabilities to change gameplay, as well as new interactions with other factions.

Choosing your structure affects which symbols the game uses for your ideoligion. It does not affect gameplay.

Roles

General info

Some factors are consistent across roles all roles.

Roles can have assigned equipment that they will demand when they have the role - they get a -? Mood debuff without it and a +? mood buff with it.

Only New Tribe colonies can select the War mask and Tribal headdress as options, while only New Arrivals colonies can select the Slicecap and Beret Content added by the Royalty DLC.

Leaders

Leader.png

Moral Guide abilities share a cooldown of 600,000 ticks (166.67 mins) or 10 in-game days.

Leaders can select between these apparels as assigned equipment:

Ability Image Ability Abililty Desc Ability Effect
LeaderSpeech.png Leader Speech A rousing speech intended to improve morale. Colonists will gather, and the leader will speak for a few hours. If all goes well, listeners will feel inspired, and gain respect for the leader. If it goes poorly, the speech will do social damage. ?

CombatCommand.png Combat Command Create an aura that boosts the combat skills of everyone nearby. The effect lasts 24 hours and remains attached to the leader for the duration. Combat abilities are boosted thanks to being near someone who is using the combat command ability.
Trial.png Trial A trial over some heinous accusation. The initiator will accuse someone of terrible wrongdoing and gather people for a trial. Spectators will listen as the accuser and accused argue back and forth, then decide if the accusation is true. If the accused is convicted, you can freely banish, arrest or execute them and nobody will mind. The chance of a conviction depends on the social abilities of the accused and accuser, and the number of spectators. ?

Moral Guides

MoralGuide.png

A moral/spiritual leader who heads rituals and personally counsels believers

Moral Guides can select between these apparels as assigned equipment:

Ability Image Ability Abililty Desc Ability Effect

ConversionRitual.png Conversion Ritual Try to persuade someone into joining your ideoligion. If it goes well, target's ideoligion certainty will be reduced or they will convert. If it goes badly, they will gain certainty in their old beliefs. ?
PreachHealth.png Preach Health Preach moral strength to a sick or wounded person through the concepts of your ideology. This will improve their rate of wound healing and immunity gain.
