Stormlight Archives Mod (Early Release)
Warning: This mod contains spoilers for Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series.
Welcome to Rimshar – a RimWorld mod that elements from the stormlight archive into Rimworld! This is an early version of the mod with plenty more to come, but already packed with game-changing features and flavor from Roshar.
Current Features:
• Two Radiant Orders:
Become a Windrunner or Truthwatcher, each with unique, lore-accurate abilities and progression paths based on the Ideals.
• Shardblades:
Devastating magical weapons that cut through enemies with terrifying precision. Radiants can summon them; others must bond through special means.
• Stormlight and Spheres:
Collect infused spheres during highstorms and store Stormlight to power Radiant abilities and healing.
• Sphere Pouches:
Equip your pawns with pouches to manage infused spheres effectively on the go.
• Highstorms:
Deadly natural events that damage pawns, animals, and wooden structures. Storms are essential for Radiant progression—plan accordingly!
• Custom Research Tree:
Stormlight-themed research with custom workbenches and crafting. More will be added (Soulcasting, fabrials, etc.) in future updates.
• Gems and Metals:
Used in crafting and fabrial creation. Currently, only Pewter is usable. Other alloys will become relevant in future updates.
• Stormlight Wall Lamps:
Aesthetic and practical lighting powered by Stormlight.
• First Fabrial: Augmenter
Right now, there’s only one working fabrial, but it’s functional with five different types of spren.
Capture Spren Where It Makes Sense:
• Cold Spren: Found when it’s below 0°C
• Flame Spren: Found near fire
• Logic Spren: Found near pawns doing research
• Pain Spren: Found near pain (e.g., wounded pawns)
• Cultivation Spren: Found near plants
Each spren modifies the augmenter fabrial in unique ways:
• Flame Spren: Heats the room
• Cold Spren: Cools the room to sub-zero
• Logic Spren: Boosts research speed
• Cultivation Spren: Enhances nearby plant growth
• Pain Spren: Inflicts pain on nearby pawns
More fabrials and spren interactions are planned, including more advanced fabrials and full integration with additional alloys and Stormlight mechanics.

Important Note:
This mod is in a very early stage of development. Expect regular updates and the addition of more content and features in the future. As a single developer working on my very first RimWorld mod, I have limited time available due to my professional career as a C++ developer and family commitments. Your patience with updates and improvements is greatly appreciated. Due to the mod’s early stage, I cannot guarantee save compatibility or stability. Always backup your saves before installing or updating.
Thank you for joining this adventure into the Stormlight Archive universe—feedback and bug reports are greatly appreciated as I continue to expand and refine this mod!
