Does this game needs new updates?

[PurpleBeast]

Besides DLCs and mods, at least new content every 2 years.
What do you think about this?
Don't kill me, i just wanted to discuss this heated topic in a civil way.

They do already add some new stuff occasionally.

For example:

The 1.4 patch (Released along with the biotech DLC) added 2 new turrets, painting (items and objects), colored lights and the corpse rot gas addition (and the shelf remake but that might be considered just a balance change).

The 1.3 patch added the whole ranching mechanic, a new weapon, a new mechanoid type, facial hair, new meal types, visual wounds and "breaching raids".

I'm likely missing a few minor additions.

1.5 and new dlc is coming.
Game needs performance fixes and UI improvements that's for sure

There were no beards before 1.3?

Good grief, the things I take for granted...

Nope you needed mods for that

[Hykal]

Funny enough, beards were taken from Oskar's Vanilla Hair Expanded, as is his Vanilla Animals Expanded. Frankly, Tynan should just pay for stuff like Pick Up and Haul, RimFridge, Wall Light and Allow Tool.

The game definitely needs more UI updates. Ideology and Biotech both really QOL improvements, and so does basic stuff like trading and caravan UIs.

Wow beards...so full of content, yes

[Veylox]

Yeah it does, if it wants to stay relevant at least. Last time I've seen a proper content update was at the same time biotech dropped I believe, so it's safe to say the next one will be with the next DLC. It's kind of a long time between updates, if it works it works, but more would definitely be welcome

For a game as old as Rimworld that is a single player game and not billed as a "live services" game, that's actually not that long between updates. It has had no trouble "staying relevant" either, as every expansion has topped sales charts.

Whats the ranching mechanic?

You can sort through the news section to see the content that has been added. For the past few years the game gets an update along with releasing DLC. There's also an incredibly active mod community for anything else. If you believe more needs to be put into the base game that's fine but you haven't actually said anything about that yourself.
