Mobile Suit Gundam: Project V
"It’s not just a mobile suit. It’s a Gundam."
Adds the White Base mobile suit lineup from Mobile Suit Gundam (0079) to RimWorld as fully modular exosuits using the Exosuit Framework. Eight suits. Every weapon a swappable independent module. A full Earth Federation faction with military ranks and permit tree.
White Base Core Lineup
- RX-78-2 Gundam — The original. Beam Rifle, Gundam Shield, Beam Saber, Hyper Bazooka. Four independent hardpoints. The suit that changed the war.
- RX-77-2 Guncannon — Fire support platform. Twin 240mm shoulder cannons and a 100mm spray gun. Built to cover the Gundam, not replace it.
- RX-75 Guntank — Long-range artillery. Twin 180mm cannons, 40mm Vulcan pod. Tank treads. It does not close distance. It does not need to.
- RGM-79 GM — Mass-production front-line unit. Beam Spray Gun, 100mm machine gun, GM Shield. Less capable than the Gundam. There are far more of them.
Ground Type Variants
- RGM-79(G) GM Ground Type — GM reconfigured for atmospheric ground operations. Beam Spray Gun, Beam Javelin melee sweep, Ground Assault verb.
- RGM-79SC GM Sniper Custom — Limited-production precision variant. Lightened frame, upgraded sensor visor, long-range beam rifle. Built to engage at distances the standard GM cannot reach. It does not close distance with anything.
- RX-79(G) Gundam Ground Type — Gundam frame rebuilt from salvaged parts for ground combat. Heavier armour, Beam Javelin, Double Bazooka (occupies both mount slots simultaneously).
RX-78 Variants
- RX-78-3 G-3 Gundam — Experimental magnetic coating on every joint actuator. Faster movement, dramatically improved melee dodge, slight melee damage bonus over the base Gundam. Exclusive ability: Last Shot — a concentrated minovsky beam discharge at range 60 that kills any target outright on impact, armour irrelevant. Long recharge cooldown (~3 in-game days). Fire it, and get clear.
- FA-78-1 Full Armor Gundam — Standard Gundam frame under bolt-on external armour panels, extended propellant tanks, and dual overlay modules. Highest armour values in the lineup. Slower than every other suit. It does not dodge. It absorbs.
Each suit separates into a core frame and independent slot modules. The core handles movement, armour, and base stats. Modules add weapons and equipment — crafted separately, equipped independently, swappable mid-campaign.
- Ranged: Beam Rifle · Hyper Bazooka · Beam Spray Gun · 100mm Machine Gun · 180mm Cannon · 240mm Cannon · Double Bazooka (2 slots) · 40mm Vulcan Pod
- Melee: Beam Saber (Gundam/G-3/Full Armor) · Beam Javelin with sweep attack (GM Ground / Gundam Ground)
- Shields: Gundam Shield · GM Shield — passive flat armour bonus while equipped
- Overlay panels: FA-78 Left/Right Armour Panels — additional ArmorRating bolted over the Full Armor frame
- Thruster jump (Royalty required) — Chemfuel-powered, 50 units per jump. Charges shown on the core gizmo. Colonists auto-refuel from stockpiles.
Research is tiered. RX-78-2 unlocks first. All other suits and variants branch from it.
A new Earth Federation Forces faction. Build relationships, earn favour, rank up through the Federation’s military hierarchy, and call in support that the Empire cannot match.
