Darkest Night SK Steam

Description
This is unofficial Steam conversion of Darkest Night SK mod by Skyarkhangel that is part of Hardcore SK modpack[github.com] (August 2019).
As the mod is unauthorized, original mod author is NOT responsible for any errors that may occur in this mod. There are also some minor differences from the original mod (check change notes). This mod will be removed at the original mod's update or the modder's request.

This mod adds new hidden faction 'Darkness', and therefore cannot be added & removed from existing savefile.




" As you watch the approaching darkness you know death has come to Rimworld..
You turn to yell for the others.. 'RUN!' but the Darkness is already upon you.
Only blackness and your own screams remain...you cannot escape this fate.
The last thing you feel, before you fall into the Abyss, is your flesh being torn from your bones.
The Darkest Night has arrived. "


This mod adds several hours long event: all unlighted places will become pitch black, and invincible Eldritch horrors will arrive to prey on living humans, trashing unprotected electronics and doors in search of opportunity to catch colonists off-guard. They can only stay within darkness so colonists must protect themselves with nearby light source until the end of Darkest Night.

Find more explanation on the original mod page here[rimworldbase.com]






"The man has believed themselves to be apex of the universe, and our ships probed the voids of space to satisfy our innate desire for expansion. With confidence of oblivious tick, we have urbanized this derelict planet and prospered... then from the darkness came the irrationality manifest, incomprehensible masters where only malice can be understood using our perception of reality. The ruin is imminent. Dance amongst the transient shadows, for light has been lost and Darkness is your destination."

'Permanent Darkness' condition can be further tweaked on mod settings to make Darkness appear only when the sun is down.

Let's hope that there is a smart person. I'm dumb.))

I'm unable to keep updating my Rimworld mods, so unfortunately someone else will have to take over. I don't think I even need to give permission here since it's not my mod (though I guess I added some features)

Playing the permanent darkness scenario and I have it set to unsafe, but all the shades evaporate at dawn and don't come back til dusk? Playing 1.4

I remember when I first encountered this event years and years ago. I don't think I realized it was installed, so it was quite the surprise and a harrowing event. Love it to bits.

People with the Darkness meme: We thrive in the Dark
This mod: Oh I don't think so

It's been awhile since I modded, I'll check if I can solve the brightness issue (but no guarantees since I am super busy for several months)

Just found this mod and it goes *really* well with this. For example playing with permanent darkness but setting daytime to being safe*, so letting your pawns out during the day and bringing them in at night.

*is daytime meant to be darker when you've set it to safe? It kinda hurts my eyes.
