Rimtalk

Bring your colonists to life with RimTalk, a revolutionary mod that uses Google's generative AI to generate dynamic dialogue for your pawns. Every conversation is unique, reflecting each pawn's individual personality, current mood, thoughts, and situation.


RimTalk integrates with AI to generate dialogue in real-time. The mod analyzes each pawn's current thoughts and actions to create personalized prompts for the AI, which then generates unique dialogue displayed in bubbles above their heads.

• Multiple AI Providers: Supports OpenAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Google AI, and local models via Ollama or LM Studio (Local providers must be OpenAPI-compatible).
  
• Unique Personalities: Set distinct speaking styles and personalities for each colonist, with full customization support. The system can automatically generate personalized personas based on user profiles.
  
• Context-Aware: Dialogue reflects what your colonists are doing and thinking.
  
• Multi-Language Support: AI can generate dialogue in multiple languages.
  
• Minimal Performance Impact: Asynchronous processing for cloud models or local inference with minimal lag.
  
• Easy Setup: Use a free Google API key for cloud models, or configure your local LLM path in settings (tested with Ollama and LM Studio; must be OpenAPI compatible).
  
• Configurable: Adjust conversation frequency, message filtering, and customize AI prompts to create different dialogue styles.

1. Get a free API key:
   
   • Go to Google AI Studio[aistudio.google.com].
     
   • Click "Get an API key".
     
   • Copy the generated key.
2. Launch RimWorld and enable RimTalk in the mod list.
   
3. Open RimTalk mod settings and paste your API key.

That's it! Your colonists will start having unique conversations!

Alternatively, you can use API keys from other providers such as OpenAI[platform.openai.com], DeepSeek[deepseek.com], or OpenRouter[openrouter.ai] — available under Advanced Settings.

Refer to the discussion post for a detailed setup guide.

• 30 requests per minute
  
• 15,000 tokens per minute
  
• 14,400 requests per day

These limits are sufficient for most gameplay sessions. The mod automatically respects these limits.

For details: Standard API Rate Limits[ai.google.dev]

• API Key: Your personal key for accessing Google AI.
  
• AI Cooldown: Controls conversation frequency (lower = more frequent). Setting it too low may cause dialogue to become predictable and repetitive.
  
• Suppress unprocessed messages: Hides messages that can't be processed by AI.

RimTalk is lightweight - all AI processing happens in remote server. Requests are asynchronous, ensuring smooth gameplay with minimal impact on your computer.

Compatible with most mods including dialogue-related ones (e.g., SpeakUp). Use the Override option to force AI regeneration when needed.

• No dialogue: Check that you've entered a valid API key.
  
• Dialogue pauses: You may be hitting rate limits - increase Talk Interval.
  
• API issues: Ensure key is copied correctly without extra spaces.

• Development: Juicy
