Rimworld Exploration Mode

Description
Why is it that your lost and naked pawns know about the locations of every faction bases and landmark on the planet? Want to have a challenging experience exploring the planet for the first time? Rimworld Exploration mode now adds immersive exploration to your game with minimal performance impact.

Mod Features:
  • Unexplored tiles and world-level fog-of-war.
  • Discover biome names as you explore.
  • River-crossing movement penalty.
  • Sight penalty over difficult terrain.
  • Pawns drops maps revealing unknown locations (better pick them up fast).
  • Satellite Hacking (Alternative for Rimnaut's launched satellite)
  • Integration with Rimnauts 2 satellites to reveal map.
  • Ally shares vision.
  • Reveal nearest locations through recruitment.
  • Aerial Caravans ignores terrain cover and has +2 tile range.
  • Work-in-progress RWE mod options (Free to Suggestions)

Supported Mods:
  • VE Outpost
  • Rim War
  • Rimnauts 2
  • Vehicles Framework
  • SOS2 (Beta)
  • CE (surprisingly)

Future Plans:
  • More map reveals through pawn interactions
  • Higher-tier maps(USB/Map Holograms).
  • More mod integrations.

Warning: Not saved game compatible!
Not fully optimized for high coverage worlds.

Donation goes toward maintaining the mod and adding new features that you would like to see.

Not abandoning it, it is just going to take more time to sort through everything.

After a preliminary look, they seem to have done an overhaul to the world map code. This is going to take more rewrite than previous versions.

1.6 please! Great mod

I'm amazed that fog of war still isn't part of the base Rimworld experience. Maybe it represents too big a change and Tynan is afraid of dividing the community, so the alpha gameplay has become ossified, but I for one can't play Rimworld without this mod and the Real Fog of War mod. Fog of War would have been a great addition to Anomaly. How can you have horror without mystery?

Surprised this didn't get folded into Odyssey -such a good mod. Hopefully you'll have time to update it, but I imagine it's a lot of work.

Will get to it when I have time
