RimWorld Wiki:To-do

There are many, many things to be done on this wiki to make it better. Mark incomplete pages or pages needing work with Category:Unfinished pages or use Template:UC to make our job a bit easier.

Wiki consistency

• Time to elaborate (or duplicate) Policies and Formatting guidelines. Basics like: Consensus, Edit Warring so that newcomers can learn their way around. Tutorials. Finish the page Help:Templates#Creating_a_template.

• Pages should start using Template:Define and Template:Infobox/Thing.
• Pages should stop using the outdated Template:Infobox main
• Need a plant template sub category for Template:Infobox/Thing

List

Needs to be done list: (Feel free to do these if you know how!) (italic = minor, bold = major)

• Guides: Most of the guides here need more people working on them. PigeonGuru (talk) 13:53, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
  • We need better guides for the 2 other starter scenarios. It's best that someone more experienced with these scenarios start them off and add content to them. PigeonGuru, Strategist ( talk | contribs ) 12:07, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
• Defs: Def elements might be something useful to add in for technical reference/modder wannabes. This stuff is being constantly revised and constructed upon, so it's your choice whether to make it its own page or to integrate it as part of another page (e.g. Colonist). I've only covered a small amount of defs (see Category:Defs for a list), and that was a year ago. Longbyte1 (talk) 05:05, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
• Need a better way to display data on tables without having to update the tables themselves. What's the best way to pull stats and stuff from pages to a table on another page? Zesty (talk)
  • I started a short how-to on properties and queries on my user page. Does that help? --Khaim (talk) 21:42, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

• Various different kinds of plant

Misc additions

Storyful combat generates a combat log that reports each blow, miss, swipe, block and fall in the combat. During or after a fight, you can review the combat log to see what happened, to generate a richer story.

• New world site components (used in various situations):
  • Animal ambush

• Spaceship is now bigger and has one more component, the sensor cluster Completed... I guess. PigeonGuru, Strategist ( talk | contribs | assist ) 14:44, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Modding

Since the contents of this section are a bit harder to document and not as relevant to the majority of people visiting the wiki, i will put a collapse here for the time being.

• Modders can now add “def modifiers” which, instead of replacing a whole def, change specific fields of that def. This allows multiple mods to change the same def without wiping each others’ changes (unless they change the same field, of course).
• Information on how to use def modifiers is in this forum thread: [https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=32735.0]
• Various enums are now defs so modders can add new ones (TrainableIntelligence , DamageArmorCategory, ImpactSoundType, ReservationLayer, BillRepeatMode, PrisonerInteractionMode, FleshType).
• GUI tables (like most of the main tabs along the bottom of the screen) are now defined by data, making it easier to add, rearrange, sort, and change columns on the UI.
• Increasing skill relevance
• Mining skill reworked: Steeper speed penalty for low skill. Mining yield is now slightly dependent on mining skill.
• Work tab boxes are easier to identify skill level for visually.

Miscellaneous Changes

• [16] UI can now be scaled to arbitrary scaling factors, for players who play in really high resolution.
• [11b] Mods config page shows load order of mods.

Characters

• [11a] Guests are smarter and no longer walk out of the colony bleeding.
