Rimworld creator and developer Tynan Sylvester has written at some length about the design goals of the game more widely and what Biotech is looking to add. ![]() The hostile worlds you build on will now have their own babies, mechanoids and xenohuman types, among which is apparently a "psychic-bonding concubine" faction.
