Description:

This is not a prototype, nor a gimmick. This is the feature fully complete as close to base game standards as possible. Rimworld is now a fully playable top-down RPG, start to credits. No jank, full flexibility, and near total mod support.

• WASD to move around
• Left click items to begin hauling them or otherwise operating them
• Right click to queue more advanced jobs on things
• While hauling, right-click to store the item to your inventory
• While hauling, double click to equip the item
• Hold left click on specific tasks like building, mining, or chopping
• Hold left shift to sprint (optional)
• Hold left control to sneak (optional)
• Press ‘E’ to open your inventory
• Press ‘Q’ to open your needs tab
• Press ‘H’ to open your health tab
• Press ‘F’ to have your character eat food
• Press ‘J’ to do recreation

This is just the base game, as you left it. No need to disable the mod when you do not wish to use it, make the choice whenever you are starting a new run. Enjoy!

This includes all of the versatile options for playing as your characters, including options to continue using director mode alongside playing as characters.

My personal recommended option, and the feature at its fullest capacity is this style. You will play as a singular character, never being able to switch to a directorial perspective or become others. You must fully embody the character.

A lighter option while still being fully engaged with the feature, this style allows you to swap between different characters at will. Similar to playing a Lego game.

This gives you the freedom to switch back to director mode, while giving you full access to playing as characters as well. This is basically the sandbox version of this feature, where you can do whatever you want.

This mod was inspired by me playing the game Kingdom Classic, and realizing just how fun of a game Rimworld could be with a similar gameplay style. You would control a single character, but be responsible for managing a group of others as a leader. This was the original intention of this mod, but here’s all the other ways you can try playing it.

• Play a solo Mechanitor run all the way through, with you controlling the entire process.
• Play as a tortoise commanding a group of humans to protect you with a fortress
• Play as a king leading an army of servants

Feel what it is like to fight as a colonist.
– Lean around cover
– Aiming time is disabled by default. After all, you are the one aiming.
– You can sprint, but it significantly increases hunger and sleep loss.

You can haul things manually, do jobs, everything. All hauling jobs have been disabled from occurring automatically, so you must manually haul objects for bills and perform everything just as one of your colonists would.

Inspired by Minecraft’s storage system, you can access and manage storages as a player directly. Manually sort them however you please, equip things, take them to your inventory, or bring them out for hauling.

You can designate storages to have specific rights around colonists other than you using them. This is good for heavily controlled storages that you organize yourself.

All of your needs are now onscreen. You can pin whichever ones you want to monitor.

Romance others, chat with them, or turn down another character’s marriage proposal toward you. It’s your character.

You can now die, and the way you continue afterwards is up to you.

An option for Authentic Style, permadeath lets you simulate a hardcore true survival experience playing as a single person. After you die, you cannot continue in any way.

While playing as yourself, you are going to not always be around to command conflicts. This gizmo uses the same AI as raiders would use raiding you, meaning it works with mods like CAI-5000. This means that you can have your colonists intelligently react to threats when you are unable to directly intervene.

• Vehicle Framework, Full player control of vehicles. (WIP, waiting for Vehicle Framework updates to fully support)
• Giddy-Up 2, Mount and ride your animals.
• RunAndGun, Shoot your enemies while moving, and have them shoot back.
• Yayo’s Animation, Enjoy walking animations among all the other ones.
• Melee Animation, Fight raiders with juicy animations.

XML patching your jobs to require a held left-click is very simple. Here is an example patch for making the mine job one that needs to be held.

• Incompatible with Camera+, use the way more performant "SimpleCameraSetting"
• Works with basically everything else, including the 1000+ mod Progression Modpack.

• Just Leave Already
  for being able to walk directly off of your tile.
• CAI 5000 – Advanced AI + Fog Of War
  for vastly improving the combat experience for your allies and enemies, and optionally offering an immersive fog of war feature that pairs great with solo play.

• Mid-save addable? – Yes! Go to gameplay options.
• Mid-save configurable? – Yes!
• Can I still order around the other guys while playing as one guy? – Yes!
• Multiplayer? – Wait for our multiplayer!

• Taranchuk – C#
• Mlie – Textures for storing constraints
• Addvans – Showing this was possible with his WASD mod
