This mod is a tool for RimTalk - Expand Memory
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3608181242
This mod helps generate knowledge entries automatically based on common in-game definitions, including:
- Items
- Hediffs
- Research
- Factions
- Xenogenes
- Genes
- Memes
How to Generate Knowledge
To generate knowledge in-game:
- Open the Memory tab at the bottom of the screen while inside a colony
- Click Knowledge
- On the left side of the window, click Generate from Defs
You can also:
- Change settings inside the mod settings menu
- Open the Defs Config Panel
Warning
The vanilla version may generate around 1000 ~ 2000 knowledge entries.
If you use many mods, it may generate around 3000 ~ 5000 knowledge entries.
To reduce the amount:
- Enable the skip list option in settings (can reduce ~1000 entries in vanilla)
- Increase the Global Minimum Importance value to filter low-importance knowledge
How Importance Works
Knowledge importance is heuristic-based.
Usually it is related to:
- Trade value
- Description length
- Number of special values outside common distributions
Each knowledge entry stores:
- The item's description
- Special values considered uncommon or significant
Example:
[Dragonian Battle Spear|0.34|Any|True|True]
Dragonian Battle Spear: Pila are spears for throwing. They take a long time to throw, but one hit can do heavy damage. This weapon represents a bundle of pila and can be thrown over and over. The singular of pila is pilum.

Notes
Usually this mod is worse than manually written knowledge.
I mainly recommend using it:
- If you do not already have handwritten knowledge
- As a tool to generate and summarize knowledge automatically
