this mod was awesome, can somebody update it to 1.6?
it would be awesome to have a time loop in space.

Here's a idea, why not have a upgraded version or something that instead of looping works like the time displacement equipment from the terminator franchise? How it can function is when used you can select a pawn and save file and with a very large amount of power to run the thing it will essentially load the chosen save file.. with that selected pawn or pawns imported into it. It's a one way trip and the pawn fully remembers. As a result you now have two save files, the old one the pawn left which now lacks them but can still be played and the new one thats effectively a new 'timeline' due to the pawn going to the past save and can be played from there. Could even keep relationships if the pawn is related to existing pawns since it's technically still the same save, just earlier in the playthrough. Maybe a implant or building they can take that adds the future saves research to the colony

this needs a 1.5 update, my game is incomplete without time travel

great!

and, here's an idea:

multiple brain implants. Some allow retaining of memories and mood, (at some sort of cost. Images of the future, which can drive you temporarilly insane? A more basic one causes just the body to survive, but wipes everything (to pre-loop standard), or keeps memories, but skills are damaged (Or, more realisticly, the other way around))

yes

will things like bionics be kept if they are brought back?

Could there be a way to reduce the power increase curve or having some option to reduce the power drain?

I want to build a colony around a time loop but for now my only options for a loop lasting a week (even after reducing the power draw to 250 by editing the xml) are spamming debug functions or mods that give literal infinite energy and I wish to accomplish it without using either of theses

epic W mod by the way!

Lets GO bless up fam squad!

Yes, yes and probably. Oh wait, I found it. For some reason it wasn't showing up before. Thanks and sorry.

did you check in the dev mode spawn list? are you sure the mod is enabled? it could also be a mod conflict

Correction, it is not appearing in my game, looked in dev mode for a temporal displacement device and it isn't there.

What is the machine called? I can't find it amidst the hundreds of other things I've added with mods.

Not sure how the power usage on this works. If I wanted to try a scenario using this instead of typical save/loading, what buildings would I reasonably need to go with it?

sorry. updated to 1.4 now

Is this abandoned?

this is a cool mod I would love to see updated to 1.4!

@archon Nomai/Stranger/Timberhearthean mod when lol

set a planetkiller for 79,200 ticks and boom

Now all we need is a scenario where the sun goes supernova every 22 IRL minutes and it's perfect.

Just had a massive insect raid and had built the looper just a little bit ago, great chance to try it out and what do you know, the wife of my favourite couple died but no worries, the time loop had me covered and now everything is fine again, God this mod is cool.

Normally I'd just save scum but mods that let me accomplish similar things through ingame mechanics are always really nice, this one especially.

Plus I have like 300 mods and there don't seem to be any issues at all.

Totally dig it. Dope mate.

This is the choice of Steins;Gate.

1: Yes. It'll take 24 hours to reset if you don't turn it off, but if you do, it will simply disable the loop.
2: The entire world is reset, so any pawns will be reset (and pawns with a memory implant will remember everything set), including those on caravans or out in the world somewhere

So you could turn that machine on during a raid and then disable it if all pawns survive?
Also what about colonists which are not in your homebase?

Good man

it's in Misc, you also need to research called "Temporal manipulation"

Where can you find the machine

somewhat, but i feel like rimworld gives off more deathloop vibes
also nice pun lol

Im gonna take a Wild guess that this is Outer wilds inspired

i wish lol

Question: Does this also work irl?

probably not

So can you？

you can't, and with the way the mod works that'd be impossible

This device affects the whole world, but I only want to play time loop in a small area. How can I do that?

Mainly so it's more vulnerable to attack, so you need to put at least a little bit of effort into protecting it from raids.

Is there a reason it can't be placed inside?

This seems great but maybe if you could add a way to discharge the machine early to go back would make this mod into a good viable addition to an iron man mode game that would have the ability to research to end game that allows you to redo mistakes but has to be planned for.

@Jon Sneh I don't really plan to expand the mod beyond the one loop building, but I like the idea.

@Clockwork Orange Yes, but you can't end the loop whenever you want, you would need to wait a day after activating it. And also yes, the loop will end if the machine loses power, is turned off, or is destroyed.

So if I get a raid and I activate this thing to last for a day I can reset to before the raid and try again if it fails and then if I succeed and I dont want to loop take me back I can just stop the machine?

This could also make for a fun scenario with solo colonist runs like naked brutality as, set loop start at day 1 and when your run ends, have somewhat of a new game plus and start over but have your skill gains and research preserved.

With moodlets being preserved just before the loop ends (especially via death in combat) it could make for an interesting drawback with an extreme break risk from witnessing ally death, saw corpse, mind-shattering pain, etc. However you would have to find a workaround for pawns losing memories on death, maybe have the loop actually set to end if the pawn's health or blood loss reaches a certain stage so it can snapshot the memories before they're wiped.

Any plans to expand this mod beyond using the machine to set/activate a loop? Having the loop be based upon a specific pawn's life via an implant could be a cool alternative to save scumming.

For example, rather than having to activate the loop through the machine, then having to wait for the reset, one could instead set the start of the loop through a gizmo when the pawn is selected and the loop ends when the pawn dies (or give the player direct control to end the loop as well through a gizmo on the pawn). 1/2

K thx👌

Nothing, it does it after an amount of time you set has passed. I think you should try playing around with it, I think you'll get a better understanding

What do u have to do for u to go back>?

It's... a time loop? Everything is reverted back to the moment in time where you turned on the device after your loop time has passed (except for people who have a specific implant, who will still remember the listed things)

What does the loop do tho. cuz ive read the desc but abit of it is confusing?

Mainly if you think a day is too short of a loop.
