Rimworld Odyssey. The most extensive addition
On July 11, a major update was released for Rimworld along with a large-scale addition, Odyssey. In the patch, the developer fixed many bugs, improved the technical state of the game, and added convenient planning tools.
The greatest interest is caused by the addition, which opens up new horizons and cosmic spaces.
The simulator of a colony on a distant planet finally opens up the space expanses to players. In one of the previous add-ons, it became known about the interstellar Empire, with which it was possible to cooperate, receiving its gifts in return. Now you yourself can leave the atmosphere and feel the spirit of real freedom and danger. In addition to the complex structure of the ship, you will be waiting for old and new opponents. On asteroids with rare resources, you can meet space pirates, and on space stations – encounter protective complexes of mechanoids.
Your ship will be your primary means of transportation by air or space. It will take a lot of time to build it, or you can use a new scenario that will take you through all the stages of building a ship and space flights. The ship has the ability to accommodate living quarters, a small warehouse, a hospital, and everything else that you can fit within the ship’s boundaries.
Not every ship is suitable for space exploration, because the conditions outside the atmosphere are different. You will need a stronger casing, a system of airlocks to prevent depressurization, etc. Only after serious preparation will space be open to you.
The space of this universe is not empty at all, along the way you will encounter various stations. Some have long been abandoned, some have become a refuge for space settlers. These are full-fledged complexes in which there is something to explore. New biomes have also been added: ice plains, lava wastelands, meadows, forests and ruins of ancient cities. Of these, only the meadows are relatively safe, since the main threat there is drought. In other locations, you will be tested for strength and your survival skills.
The location generation system has been seriously improved. Now you can find full-fledged gorges, canyons and other forms of mountains, reservoirs and rivers. You can now swim and fish in them, and also meet new fauna. The game has changed a lot with this improvement, the locations have become more unique and well-developed.
And of course, there are new tasks. Most of them are in space and are related to construction there. Most of the tasks will be more difficult than those on the planet. And remember that the survival of the entire group literally depends on the integrity of the ship, because the lack of an opportunity to escape in time can be a fatal mistake.
The ancient evil that had previously haunted the colony has become even more sinister. We are talking about the mechanoids. They have always hidden in the ruins or flown in from space, and now the player is moving towards them. Now in the orbit of the planet you can find a hive of mechanoids that coordinates the actions of the mechanoids to destroy human beings. The player has the opportunity to defeat this threat and save people or find a way to subdue the killer machines. This has become new options for the endings of the passage.
Overall, the Odyssey DLC is very good. This DLC is not just an add-on; it is a game-changer. It is probably a must-have for RimWorld fans who love dynamic gameplay and freedom of movement. If you like to explore, build, and survive in a brutal world, this DLC is definitely worth the money.
