shoutout to girls who do not understand the difference between ‘the bit’ and ‘waging psychological warfare’
another concept that I think would be interesting to explore in fic, is What do the Rimworld colonists think of the player?
What are you to them?
You design the colony, and they will build everything you lay out, no questions asked.
You decide what their priorities should be, and even if you make stupid decisions that put their lives in danger, they will follow that order without question.
You can give them a long to-do list, and the only reason they'll stop before completing it (aside from you telling them to stop), is if they physically cannot continue, because they're ready to collapse of hunger or exhaustion. Or are in such a bad mood they have a mental break.
Why are they so willing to obey you? What are you, that they trust you so unflinchingly, and let you dictate their lives?
You are capable of being in multiple places at once, as demonstrated when part of the colony is in a caravan several days' travel away, and yet you can instruct both groups in the same moment.
Time does not flow over you the same way that it does the colonists. There are times where you notice things too late, yes, but there are also times when, the very moment disaster strikes, you have a plan as though you were able to deliberate for hours during the span of a breath.
You have not aged. You were here when the first pod crash-landed, you bore witness as their children were born, you watched over them as they grew into adults, and you were there still, as your first colonists reached reached old age. You will be there for as many generations as exist in this land.
What are you?
you are the weakest twink goodbye

I love how ambiguous Rimworld's setting is. It presents itself as realistic science-fiction in the style of Dune except with a noticeable "Wild West" vibe in the setting of a lawless land and a small, struggling colony on the frontier. Yet it still makes room for vampires, zombies, genetic abominations, rogue killer robots, insects engineered only for war, tribals, ultratech civilizations, spacers, eldritch horrors, wizards, psychics, techno-feudal dynasties, plant-killer weaponry, and Machine Gods. How? How is this all possible without some kind of magic involved?
Absolutely everything strange in the Rimworld universe can be A) attributed to the Archotechs, B) attributed to mechanites, or C) both. It's not like other science-fiction.
