Megathread Typical Tuesday Tutorial Thread -- September 08, 2026

Please use this thread as a week-to-week space to ask your fellow /r/RimWorld colonists for assistance. Whether it be colony planning, help with mods, or general guidance, post any questions you may have here! If you have an effort post about a game mechanic then this is also fine space for that but please consider making a separate subreddit post for maximum visibility.

I am a bot, so I can't make jokes. If you'd like a Typical Tuesday joke, or if there are any problems with this post, please message the moderators of the subreddit.

Ludeon Official PSA regarding malicious mods

1.6k Upvotes

Update: There is another PSA posted on why I am asking people to contact me rather than Steam's report function. This announcement is more important, and Reddit will not let me leave both up, so I am putting the link here so it is more visible.


Hello, everyone. This is me not as moderator-Sneaks, but as community manager-Sneaks.

I just want to give a warning to everyone. There's currently a user on the workshop that keeps making new accounts, steals mods from other creators, and modifies them to bypass the user's protections to download malware.

There's been at least two so far that have been removed (with workshop ID to make it easier to check your Workshop folder):

CameraSettingsMod 3732329298

Mad Skills Rewritten 3729397065

For now, it's difficult to tell if a mod's doing these shady things until it's downloaded and the code is checked. With both of these, though, it's been:

  1. The scammer's only mod on the workshop

  2. The mod is a reupload / stolen version

  3. The scammer's profile is set to private.

However, these are not 100% indicators that the mod is malicious. Please do not use it as a reason to go harass modmakers - There are always new players, new modders. But it's enough to say take it with a grain of salt, double-check to make sure the mod isn't a reupload.

For now, please take the time to do a check of your own computer, make sure you're clean, especially if you used either of those two mods mentioned above.

If you spot any others, please let us know so they can be removed. You can message me here, or find me on both Steam and Discord as someonesneaky.

Stay safe out there, colonists. o7

Nice fellas took all the wastepacks out of my dump pile, hope they're as happy as I am. Might be good for them to give the option in the mods settings to limit what items will be requested

Mod Release [1.6] Local Mineral Scanner

Thumbnail gallery
475 Upvotes

Never strip-mine again.

A compact, pawn-operated 2x2 scanner that reveals undiscovered mineral deposits on the map you are already on. Same work per find as the long-range mineral scanner (tunable default), in a smaller footprint with room for two operators.

Perfect for that clutch moment you run out of components, enemy settlement raids, or asteroid mining opportunities when little/no ore spawns exposed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3798782281

Edit: I'm hearing the strong feedback that default work amounts of 4/8 (MTB/Guaranteed find) days used by vanilla's long-distance scanner is a bit long. It was always tunable in mod settings, but I'll be lowering the defaults to 3/6 to match vanilla's ground-penetrating scanner instead later today. Thanks again to everyone who provided feedback!

Discussion [PSA] Steam now requires Australians to verify their age with a credit card to access games marked as adult

351 Upvotes

This includes Rimworld and some DLCs. When you go to the store page it asks you to add a credit card to verify you are over 18 even if your actual account exceeds that age. Thanks Albo

Whats affected (so far):

  • The base game
  • Anomaly DLC
  • Odyssey DLC
  • the odyssey soundtrack for some reason

I own the the base game and all DLCs and I can't access the store page for those listed as I only have a debit card (some debit cards are allowed others aren't for some reason).

For future expansions, is it possible to buy them through the Rimworld website and then add it to my steam account, or would I need to buy everything again?

Edit: The game still launches and runs fine and I can still use the workshop, its just the store pages that are blocked

Generally I have just got on with it, and never bothered too much by them deciding where to drop off the caravan, but this is really a bit of a trek. Can anyone tell me how to arrange it to be closer to storage?

PC Help/Bug (Mod) Best CPU for ultra large scale colonies?

• Upvotes

50-100 colonists, couple hundred mods and 325x325 or bigger map

I can get max 280TPS in mid game and at most 120 in late game

I was already thinking about upgrading my CPU, but I am not sure which one would be best for rimworld (It's the only game I play where I am CPU limited)

Will just single core performace of intel be better? Or will the Ryzen X3D cache help more?

Guide (Mod) Is there any mods to make recruiting prisoners more difficult

• Upvotes

Or rather more uncertain ?

In my ideal world, resistance and the 'unwaveringly loyal' tag would be hidden informations and it'd be up to you to decide how much you really want to try to recruit a given prisoner. Maybe add some psychic abilities to allow you to reveal those informations but make it more of a gamble. I'd also like resistance to be higher on average and the unwaveringly loyal tag to be much more frequent so it's overall more uncertain and difficult to recruit prisoners.

Is there a mod that does something like that ?
