A word to all people who played with this mod: my huge thank you to all of you! It was a wonderful experience and i enjoyed every day of it, even if by the end of the journey i have lost my passion for this game. Developing this mod was my first serious journey into the world of programming and it greatly helped me to develop as a coder and a person.

I have learned a lot of lessons, some good, some bitter ones, started working on my own artstyle that i later employed in video making - it was all a wonderful adventure for me, and i genuinly hope that at least some of you enjoyed it just as much as i did.

And yet i must say that for me this journey is over - i have no desire continuing this development and have no intentions of releasing new updates. I have always believed in importance of sharing between modmakers (even if some people do not share my belief) - and so you are free to take any parts of my project if needed. I would keep it in workshop for archiving purposes.

I am glad that Ponies of the Rim mod gained a lot of popularity and relieved me of feeling bad about not releasing new updates. Hopefully it would become even better, so if i ever end up returning to play this game i would have a way to make a pony colony of my own.

Not sure how to end this, so - once again thank you everybody. Catmare, the greatest threat to mosquitokind.


Rimworld pony mod that adds pony races from MLP universe into the game , along with some special apparel for them.

8 Races:
- Earth ponies : mostly useless race that gets debuffs for most of the work types due to the limitations of their bodies (it is hard to mine if you have only hooves and mouth to hold pickaxe). As small compensation they recieve bonus for farming speed and yield due to their "connection to earth" and bonuses for social interactions.
- Pegasi ponies: faster then other ponies , this race also has pair of wings to manipulate objects . That allows them to mitigate or completely remove debuffs for most of work types.
- Bat ponies: pegasi for poor this race has slighly weaker wings wich makes them slower then pegasi . Most of the bat ponies are night creatures , so they have "Night owl" trait. Also bat ponies have sharp fangs , that allow them to deal serious damage in melee even if unarmed.
- Unicorns: this race has magical horns that allow them to manipulate objects with ease. Those horns are rounded on the tip , so although it could be used as a weapon, you should better arm them with something better. Note that unicrons are sensitive to psychic energy and could endure less pain that other races.
- Alicorns: semi-secret race that combines advantages of other ponies. They are extremely rare tho.

All races mentioned above have good chance of getting "Kind" and "Pretty" traits. Ponies could eat raw food without any problems. They also can nuzzle your other colonists to increase their mood.

- Changeligns : strange race of bug-like ponies. Those creatures are hostile in general , although you could encounter several friendly individuals. Due to hive-like structure of society they are usually proficient in one or two labour types. They also have sharp horn and pair of fangs to deliever heavy mekee strikes on their opponents.

- Griffons : race of lion-chicken hybrids (ok , maybe it is some other kind of birds , nut who cares , right?). Griffons mostly care about profit or personal accomplishments and see ponies (or other races in general) as friendly creatures. Their limbs are as agile as hands of humans , so they are good choice of colonists.

- Kirins : magical equine creatures. Kirins are tribal race that concentrates on melee combat. While they have stats similar to unicorns , kirins are more tough in battle. They are also immune to fire , do not care about hot temperatures and are somewhat protected from weapons with fire damage (not from explosions tho). Kirins are vulnerable to cold , so avoid using them in cold bioms.

Unique backgrounds:

All ponies have their own backgrounds! There is general backgrounds that could be obtained by any pony and race-specific ones. Changelings , kirins and griffons have their own backgrounds as well.

Pony factions :

United pony alliance, Red commonwealth, Cannibal batpony tribe, Changeling hives, Sun Cult, Griffon Mercenaries, Friendly & evil kirin tribes

Pony armor:

Due to specific body types , ponies can not wear pants. While ponies can wear usual armor , mod adds some pony-specific armor variants as alternative. Also it adds "Pony bags" that allow ponies to haul a lot of goods on long distances (you need Bulk mod for those to work properly).


Unicorn's horn trade! As long as horn is amputated form living unicorn it maintains magical abilites and costs good amount of silver. This is probably inhumane thing to do , but profit is above all , right?

Unique pawns :

You can start the game with unique pawns like members of Mane 6 from the show or Nightmare Moon in her exile. Those pawns slightly better than generic ones and have good traits. You can add them to any start you want in edit mode by selecting "Start with humanlikes" or by starting with specific scenarios. Note that in "Banished Empress" scenario Cannibal Batpony Tribe would start as your ally with +100 relations.

Currently in the mod : Twilight , Rarity , Pinkie Pie , Raindbow Dash, Apple Jack , Fluttershy and Nightmare Moon.
