And there it is!

Tester applications are open on our discord until the 30th! A tester-version of the mod will be available within a day or two

Pog

damn the mod isn't dead then? Very nice to see it coming back after 3 years

Soon, people. Soon.

Read description

please, update it

The mod is great, but seeing my own stronghold posting tasks for me made me laugh

does it need royalty (asking for a friend)

Any chance of getting a real update to 1.5? lol In the fork Road Builders faction trait don't work, and none of the modded biomes have anything but 1's for land features. Even alpha biomes which I know had better ones.

1.5?

Someone has updated it for 1.5, hasn't been tested with Anomaly (yet)

A major bug a settlement with level 4 military lost to level 3 raiders causing a defence failure. I played on the custom 1.4 version with a couple of mods.

There seems little point in continuing a discussion here since the maintenance and updating of this mod was taken over by someone else with a (Continued) version here:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3017452577

It has not been updated for 1.5 (yet), but it was updated for 1.4.

эх прошла эпоха все умерли

I hope someone else take all theses juicy big scale and basics mods again because this is what the rim need !

Bugged mod, when creating your empire, a random pawn who isn't even in your colony becomes leader, having a bug like this right at the beginning I prefer to describe. In short, abandoned and buggy mod, I don't recommend it.

are there any plans for an ideology compatibility patch, for example if your main ideology has a precept against cutting trees the settlements assigned to forestry lose happiness?

Someone did take over keeping the mod updated

For those wanting to play in 1.4, the test version linked in the description works perfectly for 1.4, it has a few bugs but nothing gamebreaking that I experienced

@miles ?

?????

hi, can i install the mod in a current game, i have 60 hours in a medieval mos pack ;(

oh no....

Jesus people really dont read the comments dont they XD.

TDLR for those constantly begging and asking about 1.4 here. The mod is bascially no longer in production cause the maker has no time to put into it. The Github is all we got for a 1.4 version unless someone else picks up the work.

can you also have the colonies send resources?

like if i found a colony in a tropical area they send back coffee or something

is this mod still alive? I checked the 1.4 github linked here and, well, the last activity AT ALL was 5 months ago. That might not mean much for a solo project, but it says that this is community driven, which definitely is more concerning. There are also no visible issues, opened or closed.
I typically refrain from claiming a mod is dead outright, but it doesn't look like this mod has even been touched by anyone for a long while now unless I'm missing something.

pls update 1.4

any hope that we might see 1.4 on steam? sorry i know its on github but thats way more trouble than im up for but i do miss this mod. I have dreams of covering the entire map with my perfect genetically engineered people

Help, troops become unable to do anything (Avaliable: False) after they were dropped on my map and lost all pawns, what can I do to make it avaliable again?

@Thundercraft Thanks for the hard work you did, and for posting the test version, ignore the people yelling at you for not updating the FREE mod. Hope life is going well!

1.4 please

I am interested in picking up for support for this mod if the opportunity is available? I have some experience with XML and much with C#- I do not have the time available to expand it as I am currently working on a game, although I have recently got back into Rimworld and this has been a staple of previous playthroughs so I would be happy to maintain it for future versions of the game!

@Thundercraft where update?

@Thundercraft have you ever considered in trying to see if you can manage this mod and update it? You seem to come over as someone that knows how to go around it with coding and such

Sorry, I'm trying to help. But in the comments here I end up repeating myself over and over. I'm literally quoting myself from a mere few comments earlier. I think anybody would be frustrated by that.

I'd say thank you but that was too sassy.

=====>>>> LEARN TO READ COMMENTS, PEOPLE!

So, yeah... Sad. But (a) at least there's a mostly functional 1.4 TEST version on GitHub and (b) these mods are provided to the community for free (you did not pay anything) and (c) the devs don't actually owe us anything, not even an apology.

Excuse me but when? This year?

I'm confused, does Rimwar work with the test version for 1.4?

@Winlock I believe Rimwar is what makes the AI form colonies and expand The test version worked fine for me; I just finished a spaceship launch with only a couple of noteworthy bugs- and you aren't able to manually defend settlements but you can play around those issues for sure.

manually installing 1.4 just breaks the mod, only you can form colonies but the AI can't.

@Natural Selector
Check the following discussion, which details exactly what to do, step by step:

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2006535182/3735205021127704857/

Instructions on how to download and install the Test 1.4 version from GitHub are in my comment near the top of that discussion.

I have absolutely no idea if 'm even downloading the right thing on the test version link.. much less what to install

@Thundercraft Maybe the test version is good enough to use. IDK. Worth a shot. I like the Empire mod too much to just give up on it. It's an excellent silver sink and I like painting the map in the color of my faction.

@Thundercraft you're right, the other way we maybe have a update is to find another dev(Danimineiro has another projects and a life is very comprensible and we must give him thanks for his work) or ask for help to mliegod

It seems nobody bothers to read comments anymore.

i literally have stopped playing rimworld cause of how long it has taken to fix this mod, for basicly 2 months i just had to wait and its STILL NOT FIXED? at the start i was being apologetic for the mods but you have had MONTHS to finish it

That guys lying, its not coming out May 15th. There are no devs working on empire for over a month. Don't lie..
