Rimworld pony mod that adds 5 new races , factions , unique pawns and pony-specific apparel
Rimworld pony mod that adds pony races from MLP universe into the game , along with some special apparel for them.
5 Races:
- Earth ponies : mostly useless race that gets debuffs for most of the work types due to the limitations of their bodies (it is hard to mine if you have only hooves and mouth to hold pickaxe). As small compensation they recieve bonus for farming speed and yield due to their "connection to earth" and bonuses for social interactions.
- Pegasi ponies: faster then other ponies , this race also has pair of wings to manipulate objects . That allows them to mitigate or completely remove debuffs for most of work types.
- Bat ponies: pegasi for poor this race has slighly weaker wings wich makes them slower then pegasi . Most of the bat ponies are night creatures , so they have "Night owl" trait. Also bat ponies have sharp fangs , that allow them to deal serious damage in melee even if unarmed.
- Unicorns: this race has magical horns that allow them to manipulate objects with ease. Those horns are rounded on the tip , so although it could be used as a weapon, you should better arm them with something better. Note that unicrons are sensitive to psychic energy and could endure less pain that other races.
All races mentioned above have good chance of getting "Kind" and "Pretty" traits. Ponies could eat raw food without any problems. They also can nuzzle your other colonists to increase their mood.
- Changeligns : strange race of bug-like ponies. Those creatures are hostile in general , although you could encounter several friendly individuals. Due to hive-like structure of society they are usually proficient in one or two labour types. They also have sharp horn and pair of fangs to deliever heavy mekee strikes on their opponents.
Unique backgrounds:
All ponies have their own backgrounds! There is general backgrounds that could be obtained by any pony and race-specific ones. Changelings have their own backgrounds as well.
5 Factions :
United pony alliance as friendly pony faction. Composed of all types of ponies.
Red commonwealth as communist industrial faction. Composed of earth ponies.
Cannibal batpony tribe as tribal faction . Your permanent enemy , hovewer in Banished Empress scenario they start as your allies. Composed of batponies.
Changeling hives as changeling faction . Your enemy , although it is possible to befriend them.
Sun Cult as advanced supremacist faction. Your permanent enemy. Composed of unicorns and pegasi.
Pony armor:
Due to specific body types , ponies can not wear pants and power armor. Mod adds some other armor variants as alternative. Also adds "Pony bags" that allow ponies to haul a lot of goods on long distances (you need Bulk mod for those to work properly).
Unique pawns :
You can start the game with unique pawns like members of Mane 6 from the show or Nightmare Moon in her exile. Those pawns slightly better than generic ones and have good traits. You can add them to any start you want in edit mode by selecting "Start with humanlikes" or by starting with specific scenarios. Note that in "Banished Empress" scenario Cannibal Batpony Tribe would start as your ally with +100 relations.
Currently in the mod : Twilight , Rarity , Pinkie Pie , Raindbow Dash, Apple Jack , Fluttershy and Nightmare Moon. In the future i will work on massive simplification of creating Unique Pawns so you can mod in your desired pony in 10 minutes even without any modding skills.
Compatibility:
CE compatible
Compatible with EPOE
Ponies can wear suits from SOS 2
Should be compatible with any mod that doesnt change thinking trees and doesnt add any new race-specific content.
Yes , CE compatible

Ponies may get errors when trying to wear modded body clothes that are not made compatible with this mod. There should be no problems with any head gear

I hope you will have fun with this mod! Also this is first time i ever tried to make race mod , so it could have some errors with how things work or with translation. Feel free to point at them so i could fix it.
