Humanoid Alien Races

Description


A framework for the creation of new alien races in Rimworld

If you ever thought that the racial diversity in rimworld is... not that diverse and you want to change that, you came to the right place. This framework allows to easily add new humanoid races without any C# knowledge, purely in xml.

The rest is up to your creativity: Fantasy races like Elves, Dwarves and Orks; Sci-Fi races like Asari, Klingons, Gungans eldritch beings like Deep Ones; or greenskinned and leaf-sporting mutants.




  • Custom graphics with weighted skin and hair color selection
  • Changing graphics, optionally changing over the course of aging.
  • Drawing additional parts on the body that change based on backstory, diseases and implants.
  • Integration in the starting pawns, as well as slaves and refugees.
  • Custom Backstories
  • Customizable bodysize, that can change during the lifetime.
  • Support for genderless races
  • Optional immunity to aging related body problems.
  • Optional forced traits
  • Customizable thoughts, with specific configurations for eating and butchering humanlikes
  • Modifiable relation chances
  • Race restricted clothing, weapons, research projects, buildings, bills and plants.
  • Custom Ideologies relating to eating, enslaving, killing and dating aliens.

does HAR do anything with, or provide the option to do anything with, the fertility curve added with biotech?

I think Loop meant that the Xenophobia Meme should include that.
erdelf  [author] Sep 14 @ 11:12pm 
I am.. very against adding stuff that is.. just racist (specist ?) and nothing else.. Xenophobia is only added because it has an equally strong counterpart in xenophilia.

I'm having occasional errors on pawn generation - in particular, my reproduction is "dev quickstart over and over", where faction-leader-gen can occasionally fail:

Could not generate a pawn after 70 tries. Last error: Generated pawn with disabled requiredWorkTags. Ignoring scenario requirements.
Could not generate a pawn after 100 tries. Last error: Generated pawn with disabled requiredWorkTags. Ignoring validator.
Pawn generation error: Generated pawn with disabled requiredWorkTags. Too many tries (120), returning null.
Error while generating pawn. Rethrowing. Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

That's where you're wrong, i guess, replacing nameGenerator tag with <nameCategory>HumanStandard</nameCategory> from BasePawn thingdef did the trick.
erdelf  [author] Sep 7 @ 1:05pm 
I mean, as I said vanilla doesn't use race-based name generators... only the factions and I think some kinddefs.
Shazbot! Sep 7 @ 9:33am 
Where can i find these namegenerators though? Core faction/pawnkind defs have only settlement/faction name makers. Oh and also commenting nameGenerator out of race def completely disables name generation and fills every name slot with race label.
erdelf  [author] Sep 6 @ 11:30pm 
well humans usually use the faction or pawnkind name generators and not the race one.. so if you just don't put anything there it will just use the faction's normal name generator.. or you could of course reference one of the faction ones.
Shazbot! Sep 6 @ 2:33pm 
Probably not the right place to ask, but how do i make nameGenerator (AlienRace.ThingDef_AlienRace/race/nameGenerator) assign names from humans (default ones) to custom race? Couldn't find anything about it on wiki.
