Problems with Hacker
Hello all of u

I have a problem with an obvious hacker. I hope someone can help.
I dont know how he infiltrates my Rimword game. Here is what happened:

Couple of weeks ago, I downloaded 2 mods. When I started a new game with these mods, the need for drugs was gone, although I had High Life ideology. Maybe these mods also injected a trojan inro my game.

Yesterday I got an update to my steam. A "parcel" has been downloaded. It might be possible that it contained scripts that changed my Rimworld game. But it is quite unlikely, as the game has been changed before, already.

Here what happened:
Today, when I played after the update, a group of visitors appeared. One of the visitors had the same name as a person I met few weeks ago IRL.
A trader spaceship appeared. The name of the trader was connected to some IRL thing.
A child got 7yo. Its traits were similar to a person I knew

When I played the last time before yesterday, when I loaded the savegame, 2 bricks of natural wall were missing. And then a raider showed up with a granite club.

Shortly before that, there were also in game mobs that strongly resembled IRL persons.


It quite seens, the hacker either manipulates the game while I am playing (by hidden Developper Mode); or he somehow injected scrips short time before.

What do u guess? And what can I do?

(And please: Dont say it is coincidence. I have xp with hackers. They love staying in the hidden while telling the victim: I know that you know the people that are in the game now.)

I've seen better bait.

bruh ... it's just the universe messing with you.

Aint no way someone is going to spend all that time and energy just to mess with you. All that hacking would take days and days of work to accomplish. It's not worth doing as a hacker.

These are just coincidences, but then again coincidences don't really happen since the universe isn't really random. It's just made to 'look' random.

TL:DR

You're in an archotech simulation, the archotech is messing with you. I'd watch your back if I was you. You're about to get organ harvested.

... I write: Pls dont say, it is coincidence. And u say, it is coincidence. U may think it is coincidence, ofc. but pls dont write it if someone asks u to not write it.

I explictely said it wasn't a coincidence but that it was only made to 'look' like a coincidence.

I repeat, this is no joke, you're inside an archotech simulation, the archotech is messing with you, okay so the last part about organ harvesting was a rimworld joke but the rest isn't.

You're in a simulation buddy. i know it's taboo to say to other players, but it's true.

So, it's an obvious hidden hacker? Those are the worst kind.

Say, how many and what kind of pills do you take everyday? Might want to talk to your therapist about making some adjustments. :cozybethesda:

I don't think there's any chemicals involved, I think it's just a young kid making something spooky up.

Bro this is incredibly hurtful and downright disrespectful. This guy has a genuine concern and you're suggesting to have it fixed as if it was a mental condition. That's now how we do things anymore. We have progressed and matured as a species beyond such simplicity. You have to affirm them and support them no matter how insane they may sound to your primitive monkey brain.

if he feels he is being hacked, this is obviously the truth. You have no right to say that he is experiencing something else. How do you know that he isn't actually being hacked psychologically? Feelings are more important than facts my guy.

Affirm, reassure and support.

Well, there is this thing: https://store.steampowered.com/app/367680/RimWorld_Name_in_Game_Access/

This DLC gives you the right to enter a name into the game so it shows up in all players' games. Players will recruit, command, and fight you for all time!

I think rather than being hacked, names of IRL people were submitted to the Name In Game Access extension. There’s 8(9?) billion of us on this planet, duplicates are bound to show up, and a fair few are probably playing rimworld that may share names with people you know.

For the rest of the stuff I have no idea.

I don't know... If you know a lot of people who look like the pawns in RimWorld, I'm curious which hospital you hang out at.

that's one hell of an ellaborate "hack" you downloaded. Not sure if the game engine could even accomplish you just described.
just turn off your wifi if you are scared lol.
