Hello folks and welcome to a rather quick development blog. I'd just like to show you something truly terrifying.
You remember Mechanoid ships we added with VFE-Mechanoids? You know, the ones that land all over the world, and sometimes on your base? The ones with cannons, unit fabricators, reactors, engines etc? The boss-battle ones that are very hard to defeat?
Well, we've been working on something quite similar for the Reapers.

Hello everyone and welcome to a quick development blog about Rim Effect.
The work on the new module goes pretty fast. We have now added all the Reaper enemies into the game, with sounds, weapons and visual effects.
This also means we have started work on Asari weapons too.
The source material itself is quite limited, as in actual Mass Effect there is only 2 clear 'Asari' weapons: Disciple shotgun and Acolyte pistol. Let me show them below:

Hello everyone and welcome to another mod development blog, this time focused on our next Rim-Effect module: Asari and the Reapers.
To those unaware of Mass Effect universe, let me give a quick explanation, a sort of ‘Explain like I’m five’:
Asari are the race of beautiful space ‘women...

A bit late, but that's the roadmap outlining what we will be working on after I return from the break. Furthermore, an update to our Race to The Rim is also bound to be released, featuring Dragon armors and Parkas, as well as a new dragon!
Stay safe out there!

Hello everyone!
As some of you are probably aware from the spam you received on your email when I released all the mods, we have wrapped up and published RimEffect Core and its sister modules: Extended Cut, N7 and Music. There is another UI module underway made by a patron: Oracle of Thessia.
My birthday is tomorrow, and funnily enough, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is coming out on 14t...

Rim Effect Music adds 61 music assets from the original trilogy, divided into tense music and normal soundtracks. We claim no ownership of the OST.
All credits and copyrights go to Electronic Arts, Bioware as well as the composers of the original Mass Effect OST:
Jack Wall, Sam Hulick, Richard Jacques, David Kates, Clint Mansell, Christopher Lennertz, Cris Velasco, and Sascha Dikiciyan.
This mod is quite big, so give it a while to download!

Rim Effect is a large overhaul mod series, adding the story, races, objects, and conflicts of Mass Effect universe into RimWorld. The Mass Effect elements are not meant to stand out, and as such are blended into the RimWorld style by utilising the same naming conventions and writing styles.
Much like Vanilla Factions Expanded, the Rim Effect mod series comes divided into sub-modules, firstly to allow the players to pick exactly what elements they want in their games, secondly to ease t...

These soldiers use specialised gear including weapons and armors based on ...

Hello folks! In today's Typical Tuesday Suggestions, I'd like to ask you something about RimWorld itself:
What sort of mods from all the available mods would you like to see incorporated into the game itself and why?
Please, remember that I don't have the power to incorporate these mods into the RimWorld update, I'm just interested in seeing which mods you see as must-haves!

One of the most commonly requested features for Vanilla Factions Expanded - Settlers was tech-locking their weapons. Sadly, vanilla game does not differentiate between ‘western-style’ weapons like revolvers and M14 assault rifles - for the game, it’s all industrial weapons. If we were to white list only ‘western-style’ weapons, it wouldn’t offer enough variety - you’d constantly see raiders with revolvers, bolt action rifles and pump shotguns. That’s it. Boring isn’t it?

Vanilla Weapons Expanded - Non-Lethal has been a commonly requested weapon set. So many times prison breaks result in accidental deaths. So many times, an enemy raider is your colonist’s father and you accidentally put a sniper rifle round through his skull. So many times your berserk pawn starts to fight with your melee expert with archotech arms, resulting in, well, death.
Thanks to this mod, you will now have numerous ways of dispatching crowds and taking down single targets - you...

Hey folks!
In this Typical Tuesday Suggestions I'd like to get all your ideas related to RimWorld trading in one place.
Let me know how you would like us to overhaul trading, be it new mechanics, new quests or even things like new trader types.
I will try to answer all your ideas and say if we can do them or not!

Hey folks what's up!
Last time we covered weapons and armors, let's now take a look at the ability system. Yes, they work great, a bit like psycasts but Mass Effect-themed, and yes, enemies can, in rare instances, use them against you.
If you're not pals with Systems Alliance faction, they can come over to you with their adepts and engineers and obliterate you. It's fun!
