[B19] Can't control colonists.

[x Princess Leliana x]

So I am playing a heavily modded game. And everything was fine, no bugs, conflicts, etc. Suddenly, in the middle of a playthrough (not a new one, not a load, in the middle of a couple hours of playing) I stopped being able to issue commands.

can't right click to equip, eat, force priority, go to bed, etc.

I can draft them, but can't move them, get them to shoot, etc.


This happened in the middle of a playthrough and there is nothing in the debug log, so, idk.

Help ;w;

Very strange? Since it's heavily modded I don't know? Could be vannila bug, could be modded.

If this happened to me. I would make sure none of the keys on my keyboard were stuck down etc. That happens and can cause weird things in many games. Second I would save my game to a new file. And I would either attempt to reload that very save, load a previous save or restart the game. Sometimes just saving and loading or restarting the game fixes stuff.

If none of that works.... hmmm.. you can slowly troubleshoot by removing mods that may effect control of colonists if you have any? If you remove one and it suddenly works then you may know what the issue is. You can post about this in Ludeon Bug Reports. Ask has anyone else had this problem. Tell them your B19 and have many mods going. If no one else has had the issue the Devs will probably assume it's mod related.

Anyhow else please provide helpful info if you can. This has never happened to me.

same issue, and i have no mods active. Checked the game files, nothing wrong there. Restarted, didn't help at all. So idk.

Tried restarting the game, that doesn't work either.

Alright so I think I have found the error. Started a new game and it still doesn't work.


Root level exception in OnGUI(): System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Verse.NamedArgument' from assembly 'AlienRace'.

I have no idea what this means, I assume it's something to do with the alien race mod, since it says "addhumanlikeorders". Orders are what i am having trouble with and its an error, so, can someone explain this to me?

I found this post on Ludeon? Not sure if it was one of you two who created it? It seemed simular to your problem? But maybe it's not. I added a reply and linked to your Steam posts. But if you feel this bug is different than yours feel free to make your own Bug Report on Ludeon.

See this is what found and added your posts.

P.S The game did update this is going to cause problems with certain mods etc. You can try click into Rimworld on Steam and select the Beta that you have been playing on. So if your B19 go into the drop down and select B19 you may have updated to 1.0 and have incompatible mods.

I think I found it. I went into my mod section, half of my mods have updated for 1.0..... Is there any way I can roll backl the mods to 0/.19?

What fixed it for me was : Uninstalling rimword, deleteing the files from both %appdata% & the steam folder.

[BlueDragonXD]

In Steam Library, right-click on RimWorld, select Properties, go to the Betas tab and select the “beta19” beta.

And for Kantalope Specifically what version are/were you playing on? Thanks for the solution by the way I will add that the Bug Forum encase it helps anyone and or Devs.

I am playing on beta 19. I forced it when I saw that they were releasing 1.0.


Specifically so that my mods wouldn't break.


Then the modders forced the update to everyone with no way to not download it....

currently playing 1.0.2059

X Princess Leliana X and anyone else who fears there Game or Mods may update without there concent. There is a possible solution. When you have time check out the Forum Thread I started.

https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=46214.0
At first I assumed you had to buy another copy of the game from Ludeon and not on Steam. And that solution does not work for everyone. However users were very helpful so read the replies I got even if you have Steam version you may be able to do this. If so it's very helpful. You will never have mods or game update on your again unless you want it too.

But the good news is that after Tynan release some Bug Updates and most or all bugs are gone. Then it won't really update anymore anyhow. Unless Tynan adds more content in the future which he may or may not.

I've got the same issue, might just take the easy way out and start over in 1.0 with 1.0 mods
