Rimknights – Oripathy
Updated 04/18/25
RimKnights – Oripathy brings the dreaded disease from the world of Arknights to Rimworld. Currently, this mod only has the disease oripathy and a few sources of infection.
Current features:
- Oripathy – As this condition progresses, more and more crystals will grow on your colonist’s body. Careful management of these symptoms will be critical for your colonists’ quality of life. There is no cure for oripathy.
- Shattering – When an infected individual dies, their corpse becomes a new source of transmission. If left alone, the corpse will eventually explode in a cloud of originium dust, potentially infecting those nearby. Destroy the body quickly or keep it away from your healthy colonists.
- Originium in the environment – certain weather conditions can expose your colonists to originium, increasing the chance of contracting oripathy and speeding up its progression. Watch out for originium clusters, even the smallest cut will guarantee an infection.
- Symptom managment – a weak analgesic is all you will have to manage symptoms the pain until you can purchase or manufacture enough suppresant for your colony.
- Precepts – With Ideology, people’s opinions towards your infected colonists can range from bigotry to worship.
- Pandemic – Scenarios are patched to include a 5% chance for any humanoids to be Infected
Compatibilities:
- Simple Custom Gas Framework – Allows active originium dust to linger in the air as a gas.
Future plans:
These may end up being standalone or modular mods
- Originium industries and weapons (war crime simulator ++)
- Catastrophes
- Arknights factions
- Terran wildlife
- Terran races
- Magic and psycasts reflavored as Arts with oripathy interactions
This is my first C# based mod and I’m very excited to share this with everyone. This mod has not been playtested extensively so any suggestions in regards to it is welcome.
Many thanks to the people in the RimWorld Discord server for taking the time to answer my questions and offering suggestions.
