Rimworld Exploration Mode

Description
Why is it that your lost and naked pawns know about the locations of every faction bases and landmark on the planet? Want to have a challenging experience exploring the planet for the first time? Rimworld Exploration mode now adds immersive exploration to your game with minimal performance impact.

Mod Features:
  • Unexplored tiles and world-level fog-of-war.
  • Discover biome names as you explore.
  • River-crossing movement penalty.
  • Sight penalty over difficult terrain.
  • Pawns drops maps revealing unknown locations (better pick them up fast).
  • Satellite Hacking (Alternative for Rimnaut's launched satellite)
  • Integration with Rimnauts 2 satellites to reveal map.
  • Ally shares vision.
  • Reveal nearest locations through recruitment.
  • Aerial Caravans ignores terrain cover and has +2 tile range.
  • Work-in-progress RWE mod options (Free to Suggestions)

Supported Mods:
  • VE Outpost
  • Rim War
  • Rimnauts 2
  • Vehicles Framework
  • SOS2 (Beta)
  • CE (surprisingly)

Future Plans:
  • More map reveals through pawn interactions
  • Higher-tier maps(USB/Map Holograms).
  • More mod integrations.

Warning: Not saved game compatible!
Not fully optimized for high coverage worlds.

I wish there was an option to make map properly load in map creation.
Currently, all terrain features are visible when the option is checked in the settings BUT I cannot see any settlements.

Also in combination with Map Framework mod, the map overlays are only visible on the tiny patch of area that I click my mouse on. Annoying.

Also please add Save Our Ship 2 functionality... there is no reason to be not able to see everything when your ship is flying in literal space, please?

But otherwise very cool mod!

Do satelites give vision on the map?

Sorry for the lack of reply, people. I will look back through the feedbacks when everything settles down on my end.

I love this mod, I play nomadic groups all the time. The only thing I would prefer to be different is having the ability to share vision with allies on or off. Once you make peace with too many people it can trivialize having this mod at all.

FPS seems to drop when an airborne vehicle reveals new parts of the map. ~600ms spike.

Rimnauts 2 doesn't seem to be working this this mod. Relay satellites are up but fog of war is still present.

Maps, imo need to be a LOT more common!

I played one way for thousands of hours and this totally changed that.

this would go great with fog of war mod

I meant that MAPS also reveal about a 5-10 hex radius around their town would be good .
