RimWorld – Winter is Here changelog

Alpha 8

v1.0.0 – Initial release.

  • Tweaked hides to offer only a 25% factor at best to minimum comfy temperature offsets when making clothes out of them.
  • Parkas reduced to -32C (minimum) and -6C (maximum) offsets.

v1.0.1 – Parkas also reduce global work speed by 3%.

v1.1.2 – Winter warrior edition.

  • Winter apparel added: heavy duster, winter jacket, thermal pants and thermal shirt.
  • Added new PawnKindDefs and modified FactionDefs.
  • New pawns have more cash to spend on apparel and use the new cold weather tagged clothing.
  • Renamed the mod folder.

v1.2.0 – Merged in the Lamps, Lanterns and Kits mod.

  • Small orange lamp – limited illumination radius, low power usage. Suitable for use near to a worktable.
  • Mining lantern – glows yellow. Must be fabricated at a smithing table first. Deconstructs to yield a lantern kit.
  • Outdoor battery kits – waterproof. Must be fabricated at the smithing table.
  • Hydroponics kit – nuclear powered, removing the need for an external power source. Hardened against solar flare activity. Make one at the smithing table.
  • Campfire kit – mostly wood. Mostly. Make one at the smithing table.
  • New trader type – oddments. Sells mining lanterns, hydroponics kits, campfire kits, and winter apparel.
  • Renamed the mod folder again.

v1.2.1 – Fixed a minor XML bug (still red message o’ doom though).

v1.3.0 – Even More Kits edition

  • Producton kits: Cooking, Butchery, Smithing, Sculpting and Stonecutting.
  • Security kits: Steel and Plasteel kits for creating improvised turrets.
  • Fixed the Hydroponics Kit. Now uses Uranium Cells instead of Uranium in the recipe. Uranium cells can be crafted at a rate of 7 per 20 Uranium at the smithing bench.

v1.3.2 – Minor fixes and additions.

  • Apparel tags are reworked. Lower value pawns will not spawn in with power armour.

  • Tailoring kit is added.

v1.3.4 – More fixes and additions.

  • Pawns from other factions will use the knitted tuque (cloth) only. In theory, leaves more apprel money to use on covering the rest of the pawn. You can still make tuques from any fabric you like.
  • Winter apparel added by the mod can only be crafted from hides. Existing apparel made from fabric will not be affected, but will also no longer be available.
  • Kit turrets now leave wrecks when they explode. The wrecks can be smelted down for 80 steel to compensate for the lack of traditional resource drop. This is true for both steel kit and plasteel kit turrets.

v1.3.5 – Minor fix. Tailoring kits should now be available from oddments traders.
v1.3.6 – Minor juggling of hides insulation values – some animals with good resistance to cold had terrible temperature offsets on hide.
v1.3.7 – Retextures of kit-based cook stove, butcher’s table, stonecutter’s table, tailoring bench, and hydroponics basin.
