Sadly my son Alex TD @uuugggg died June 2025. Can anyone tell me if I could/should report this to someone? And I know he made a lot of mods that people used and seemed to depend on. He was very proud of his mods. And his games.. see tdsgames.com Is it possible for someone to take over managing his mods? I’m at catears@me.com thank you Marilyn T (T of TD)

Does not work with anomaly DLC as there is no option to choose anomaly research which happens simultaneously to normal research.
Kepabar May 2, 2024 @ 4:58pm 
This seems to be broken with Anomaly.

Once you start studying occult things the random research selector will sometimes pick an Anomaly research project to use at the 'normal' research bench, so you never progress on that research. It sits at 0/10 forever.

You are also constantly prompted to choose an anomaly research project (but can't as this mod blocks out the option). Because of this, you can study things but you will never unlock any anomaly research.


Mod would need to be re-worked to treat anomaly projects different from 'regular' research projects.
ArtoniX Apr 20, 2024 @ 1:23pm 
SPOILER ALERT You really can check your current research clicking on research bench, and if you have at least one known research, you can easily reroll your current research just by stopping it and starting again, until you got what you wanted. Sad to know

Hey howdy, figured I'd drop in my experience here. I am having the anomaly researches not researching (on 100% blind) and I've noticed when hovering over the research bench. it tells me what I am researching (Or I'm just noticing it now). Not certain if it was a new feature from base content inferring from the intended mod. Hopefully this helps.
Khabraxis Apr 14, 2024 @ 6:04pm 
Anomaly research doesn't really work with this. im guessing its because there is now 2 seperate research tasks at a time.
Omahawski Apr 13, 2024 @ 2:08pm 
NOT* NOT Majorly Gamebraking* ate a word
Omahawski Apr 13, 2024 @ 2:04pm 
Like i said it's majorly gamebreaking all i have to to is just cancel the anomaly's research and start it again for it to pick another research
Omahawski Apr 13, 2024 @ 1:59pm 
it's basically separate, you study captured anomalies and they have separate research points (idk if i can post imgurr links without it being reviewed immediately)
Uuugggg  [author] Apr 13, 2024 @ 1:51pm 
How are you queueing research if your research is supposed to be random

TL;DR how does anomaly research even work
Omahawski Apr 13, 2024 @ 1:34pm 
Is it possible to blacklist anomaly research to be picked by this mod? I prefer picking this myself, and when random research picks up anomaly one, it isn't researched because i have already queued a research and it also breaks Research Tree (Continued Tree) Generated Tree making it blank forcing me to reload the save, It's not anything gamebreaking. Thanks For updating to 1.5

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2597460077 Has repeatable research. I'm not sure it causes any issues.
Beefy Swain Oct 1, 2023 @ 10:02am 
Also, seems like sometimes the random research that is selected is a previous research that was "paused". I would prefer that not happen.
Beefy Swain Sep 30, 2023 @ 7:19pm 
Also, the ability to pause researching, like when I want my researchers to do other things
Beefy Swain Sep 30, 2023 @ 5:26pm 
It would be cool if there was a symbol next to research items on the tree that have been "discovered" and are in progress, but paused.
Uuugggg  [author] Jun 16, 2023 @ 10:56am 
what researches repeat when was that a thing
azulius Jun 16, 2023 @ 9:53am 
gets stuck on repeatable ones, and keep doing same one all the time
Gyropilot Apr 19, 2023 @ 4:59am 
Working perfectly even with a shitload of mods
I'm running Research Reinvented, Tech Advancing and Ancient Technology
GADefence Feb 17, 2023 @ 8:33pm 
There should be an option to always pick the fastest research so my neolithics don't waste so much time researching electricity when great bow is also available.
tri_idias Jan 7, 2023 @ 5:01pm 
I don't think I can get this mod to work 100% somehow. While it will automatically pick a research for me, it's not hidden somehow. The setting to reveal is at 53%, but I can see it right off the bat. Also, I can still select my own research topic. Is it because I reorganized the research tree via the other plugins?
Unfriendly Joe Dec 4, 2022 @ 11:04am 
This is the best damn random research mod ever done for Rimworld, and I've been using random research mods for Rimworld since 1.0. Find it really hard to play this game without a random research mod, just makes the game way too easy and rote otherwise.

Thank you for this mod, it's beautiful, it's wonderful and you're a scholar and a gentleman.
minor threat Oct 27, 2022 @ 2:19am 
Very nice, I like science to be this way. I guess my favorite would be if science aligning with researchers ideology is weigthed heavier, but still great idea.
Sentient_Worm Oct 22, 2022 @ 1:19pm 
Thanks for 1.4 uuugggg Now I dont need to monitor my pawns anymore XD
Uuugggg  [author] Oct 22, 2022 @ 9:03am 
Quoth: Hey, do you want research to be a little less random? Nope. Who's gonna design the system that chooses what to do, that satisfies everyone's requests for what they think is pseudo-random enough?
Fletcher Oct 22, 2022 @ 3:18am 
Would it be out of scope for this mod to have an option to complete the lowest tech level first? Or only tech of the current level or lower, when paired with a mod like Tech Advancing?

Either way, thanks for the mod and updating it to 1.4!
Uuugggg  [author] Oct 12, 2022 @ 9:20pm 
UUUuuuuuggggggggg
Sentient_Worm Oct 12, 2022 @ 7:15pm 
I gotta ask that annoying question. Plans for 1.4?
Lemon El'Jonson Jul 3, 2022 @ 11:04am 
Love this idea!
I always felt like it was strange that 1 person dinking around at a table for a few days can just suddenly build batteries or ARs. It would be cool to build a mod where you need to acquire or examine objects before researching how to make them, but it would be way too complicated to make it work well.
Yoann Sep 12, 2021 @ 1:42pm 
Hi,
It's the first time I play the mod with the reveal before research completion, and so the first time I use the re-roll research button.
I just discovered that research previously cancelled can be chosed again by the random research, without warning (it was the short research "Long blades", so few research time lost).

It is wanted?

I would prefer that previously canceled research can't be randomly started again if others choices exists, please.
Uuugggg  [author] Sep 4, 2021 @ 10:11pm 
1.3 up and good
Emmote Aug 28, 2021 @ 8:43am 
Yea - this kills dev mode.
Gray Sanddragon Aug 13, 2021 @ 11:28am 
confirmed, dev mode killed
༺midas22༻ Aug 8, 2021 @ 1:08pm 
crazy how more than half of the un-updated mods i'm subscribed to are all from you
Loki Jul 29, 2021 @ 8:59am 
Having same issue as NilchEi, trying to open developer mode menus fails and spits errors
