Which DLC do you prefer the most?

[mumblebrainz 🧠]

And can you explain why?

[Neonivek]

It is HONESTLY hard for me to chose... Why? because I also fold in the free non-expansion content that came out about the same time.

So, for example, I attribute the mission system to the Royal DLC.

[Cellar_Cat]

The psycasting stuff from royalty feels the most complete and well-integrated to me, but then it's been around longer. The actual royalty aspect is ok but I don't often bother with it.

I liked the *idea* of biotech more but the execution is not my favourite ever. I was hoping for a bit more aesthetic variety. Why specifically pigs, cats, and dogs? Why add a pig nose but not others? It feels like someone stopped half way. And the fact that in-game you're limited to xenogenes seems like a pointless restriction. I mean, is breeding really so strong that they can only afford to let me design a race at the start? Doesn't feel like it. Mechanically the default vampire race is well OP compared to that. They should just let us do it.

And ideology is... idk. It offers some nice QOL improvements, but I'm not inclined to take any drastic ideological paths because some aspects of the vanilla game (e.g. low tech gear variety, access to underground-focused maps and the variety of underground enemies) feel pretty bare and limiting myself to them isn't fun. So it basically just enhances the way I already played, somewhat.

My favorite is Ideology, because it really expands on the social side of things and makes each colony feel different. You can form crazy cults or just make small changes about how each society works.

[martindirt]

Still ideology.
More RP possibilities.
But the new gene system also very good. Making possible to simplify aliens (like some modders already did).

Royalty

because BADASS SOUNDTRACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




oh and the content too

[😴]

Ideology.
Because RP, in short.

[ACS36]

Royalty is the the most complete and is the best at what it does.

Ideology is whatever, don't hate it, don't love it. Probably should have been expanded further than it was.

Biotech is the worst. It's highly over rated because 'children'. If biotech didn't have that feature people would be really scratching their heads about what is going on. It needs a lot of work.

Sadly, biotech probably won't get the time that it deserves because the developer will spend most of the next year working 10 hours a week to produce another DLC that will probably cost 30 dollars with even less content.

Once again the modding community will have to make the new features actually deep and interesting.

Ideology but with Expanded memes because vanilla ideology feels half assed but then you create an occult sect of arch mages that summon cthulu and it's awesome.

[HoneyClawz]

Ideology is my favorite. I like that it makes it easy to make themed colonies. Biotech is a close second and Royalty is well.....Royalty

[hashimoto4life]

I feel Biotech is the most impactful for me. I love having mechs running around my little colony doing all the labor. Oh and I have a small nursery for my two children.

[Asulox]

Royalty is my least favoured because its so one sided. I've never been attacked by psycasters. I think Ideology and Biotech are great for RP but I wish Biotech was fleshed out more. I'd like to be able to specifically choose the Xenotypes the other tribes consist of and how they relate to the world.
There's plenty of room to be filled by modders and I'm sure thats the plan, after all Rimworld is a modding community and you have to leave space for that side of the game. So c'mon modders lets have more appearance choice and genes please

i always did like the theme of royalty alot but hated that the psycasts seem a bit iffy to work with when rimworld of magic was the go to before it came out.

However thanks to vanilla psycasting extended i think its bumped royalty right up on the top of the best dlc, though biotech is a close contender, biotech will however NEVER be allowed to be called the best DLC because it starts with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ B.
we had

And all this time, Tynan just wanted RIBS for lunch. Next DLC will be titied Sandwich! 100%

I only have Royalty, and I like it. Ideologies seemed "eh" to me, the new DLC biotech looks very interesting but not for $25. I will hold off a while, and see if I can get it cheaper at some point or if I get the itch to do a fresh run in a year or so.

1 Biotech, because it adds the most content, as big as 3 DLC.
2 Ideology, because it has a major impact on pawn and faction relations, and basically makes game rules editable
3 Royalty, because it added a new unique gameplay style that has a unique ending, but basically Noone but you will ever trigger a single psycast ability ever once.
