RimLegend – Your Colony’s Story, Written by AI
RimWorld is already a masterful story generator. RimLegend makes those stories come alive.
This mod captures every event in your colony—raids, romances, tragedies, triumphs—and sends them to an AI of your choice (Ollama, OpenAI, Groq, etc.) to craft a rich, evolving narrative. Whether you’re leading a struggling band of survivors or commanding a thriving empire, your saga deserves to be told as a proper story, not just a log.
🔥 Why RimLegend?
No More Dry Logs: Turns RimWorld’s events into immersive prose—like a novel written about your colony.
Two-Layer Storytelling:
Main Colony Chronicle: A cohesive, third-person narrative of your colony’s journey (Event.md).
Individual Colonist Stories: Optional personal biographies for each survivor.
Full Control Over the AI:
Choose from 5 narrative styles (Neutral, Dark Fantasy, Humorous, Epic, Chronicle) or define your own.
Use author directives to steer the story (e.g., "Build tension with the northern tribe").
Works with Any AI:
Supports Ollama (local), OpenAI, Groq, Anthropic, and any OpenAI-compatible API.
No API key needed for local models (e.g., Llama3 via Ollama).
Smart & Efficient:
Hierarchical summarization keeps token usage predictable, even after 100+ hours.
Adjust processing intervals, token budgets, and language (12 options).
Read Your Story Ingame:
Dedicated "Chronicle" button in the bottom bar.
Markdown formatting (headings, bold, tables) for easy reading.
Auto-refreshes when new events are processed.
⚙ How It Works
Play RimWorld as usual—RimLegend runs in the background.
Events trigger AI updates (configurable: every in-game hour/day/month).
Read, edit, or export your story anytime. Your edits influence future entries.
📌 Requirements
An AI API (local or cloud). For local models (e.g., Ollama), no API key is required.
No coding needed—just set your API endpoint in the mod settings.
💡 Pro Tips
Start a new game with RimLegend for the best experience.
Use author directives to shape the narrative (e.g., "Emphasize the colonist’s trauma from the last raid").
Local models (Ollama) offer privacy; cloud APIs (OpenAI) offer higher quality.
