Swine and Truffles expands RimWorld's wildlife and culinary options with four pig breeds and a few new of recipes.
Swine and Truffles is a small mod that expands RimWorld's wildlife and culinary options with four brand-new pig breeds and a new set of recipes. Now CE compatible.
Features:
- Megaswine: A gargantuan, rhino-like beast that provides large amounts of meat, leather, and can be butchered for tusks.
- Waste Pigs: Highly adaptable and intelligent mutant swine that thrive in toxic environments and defend themselves with a toxic gas breath.
- Black Pigs: Sleek swine that can sniff out buried truffles once trained in Obedience.
- Bristle-Backs: Prickly wild pigs encased in spiky quills that stick in to attackers who hit them in melee combat.
- Truffles and Meals: Use truffles found by your Black Pigs to extract highly-valued Truffle Oil, or cook up an immunity boosting Truffle Ham and Cheese Omelet. Infuse standard packaged survival meals or lavish meals with truffle oil to provide lingering immunity and mood boosts.
March 11th 2026 Changes:
Black pigs have received an overhaul in how they forage, making the environment matter more. Harmony is now a dependency.
- Smart Foraging: Black pigs now actively take environmental factors into account when hunting for truffles. Soil quality and the density of nearby trees will directly impact their foraging success.
- Truffle Tiers: Added a new tier system for harvested truffles. Depending on your pigs' environment, they can now obtain Common, Black, and White truffles at different likelihoods depending on soil quality and the nearby tree quantity.
- Dynamic Intermediaries and Recipes: When you craft the new intermediary items—Truffle Must (requires 15 berries) and Cheese Curds (requires 10 milk)—the recipe will automatically detect the tier of truffle you used.
- New Items and Consumables: The expanded truffle tiers flow directly into three distinct culinary paths, giving you a variety of ways to boost your colony's mood and health.
Truffle Omelets: Now available in Common, Black, and White variants. Provides a huge immunity boost and a mood buff based on the tier.
Aged Truffle Cheese: A luxurious food item available in three tiers based on which truffles are used to cook it. Provides a strong immunity boost alongside scaling mood benefits based on the type of truffles used.
Truffle Wine: Available in three tiers. It functions purely as a recreational item, so your pawns won't accidentally eat it as a regular meal. Provides a decent immunity boost and scaled mood buffs depending on the vintage.
- Tiered Outcomes: Crafting Must or Curds with a White Truffle guarantees a White Truffle tier final product, while using a Black Truffle yields a Black Truffle tier product. The same recipe will eventually lead to different final results once the intermediaries finish aging.
- Passive Aging: Once your Must or Curds are prepared at the stove, simply leave them in a temperature-controlled environment. They will passively age over time into Truffle Wine and Aged Truffle Cheese.
(All truffle items should be compatible with Ideology's Fungus precepts.)
