RIMWAAAGH — Orks of RimWorld [1.6] — WIP
RIMWAAAGH adds a new Ork race to RimWorld.
The theme is clear: spores, scrap, massive silhouettes, and a physiology that breaks human norms.
The goal is a fun, readable addition that integrates cleanly with the Biotech DLC.
The project is under constant development, with community feedback guiding every step.
•WIP
The mod is in active construction. Many systems are still being built or refined.
Final textures are not all ready. Balancing remains intentionally cautious.
Expect stat tweaks and structural adjustments between updates — stability and clarity come first.

Current Features
• Functional Ork Spores
The Ork spore vats serve as the experimental core of the mod. They grow new Orks directly from fungal spores — Orks that literally rise from the ground once mature.
• Xenotype & Gene System
Genes and xenotypes create convincing size variations without breaking clothing or armor visuals.
• Caste Spawning System
Spores now generate Orks with proper caste distribution:
| Ork Count | Xenotype Effect | Description |
| --------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1–5 | Weak Waaagh | Minimal bonuses, unstable psyche |
| 6–15 | Gathering Waaagh | Slight boosts to mood and melee |
| 16–30 | Proper Waaagh | Noticeable stat increases, faster recovery |
| 31–50 | Big Waaagh | Significant aura strength, faster spore growth |
| 51+ | Great Waaagh! | Full aura potential, high mood, increased Weirdboy sensitivity |
• “Love Filth” Gene
A unique Ork gene adds a need for filth, reversing the usual Beauty mechanic.
Orks and Snotlings feel better when surrounded by dirt and grime.
• Authentic Ork Names
All Orks now use true Ork-style names from custom rule packs — no more humans named Bob in your Waaagh.
• WAAAGH! Ability
Warbosses can unleash the WAAAGH! — a temporary aura that boosts nearby Orks’ combat performance.
It ends if the Warboss falls.
• New Scenario: “The Three Snotlings”
A hard tribal start featuring three Snotlings with minimal gear.
Grow spores, survive, and one day rise to become a Warboss.
• New Castes: Mekboyz, Painboyz, and Weirdboyz
Mekboyz craft and tinker with machinery.
Painboyz handle crude Ork medicine and surgery.
Weirdboyz are volatile psykers channeling raw Waaagh energy — often explosively.
What’s Coming Next
• Squigs – living fungal beasts bred for food, war, or entertainment.
• Expanded Weirdboy psycast tree inspired by Vanilla Psycasts Expanded.
• Config options to tweak spore rates, caste balance, and Waaagh effects directly in-game.
Compatibility & Saves
Adding the mod mid-save may cause issues.
