RimWorld, the acclaimed sci-fi colony sim from Ludeon Studios, has announced a second paid expansion, titled Ideology, which’ll be arriving in the next few weeks alongside a substantial free content update for all players.<\/p>\n

Following on from last year’s Royalty DLC<\/a>, Ideology aims to enhance RimWorld’s celebrated core by providing the tools needed to fashion a specific belief system for your colony. “You can play as tree-worshipping cannibals who carve skulls into every piece of furniture,” explains developer Tynan Sylvester on Steam<\/a>, “or blind tunnelers who shun the light, or transhumanists obsessed with perfecting the human form using exotic technology. Or be nudists, or drug-stupor mystics, or piratical raiders, or charity-focused givers, or pain-loving animal sacrificers, or dance-party techno ravers, or rustic ranching cowboys, or many many more.”<\/p>\n

Sylvester says it’ll be possible to mix and match different core elements of a colony’s belief system in Ideology, and that customisation can be taken even further if desired, with the expansion enabling players to individually adjust preferences in the following categories: precept, ritual, special social role, venerated animal and weapon, culture and style, unique building, tattoo, clothing, background narrative, god, and, perhaps most importantly of all, beard (more on those shortly!).<\/p>\n
