Hauntings and Ghosts

Adds 10 ghosts which can haunt your map, curse your colony, and be exorcised for powerful abilities. Adds a simple exorcism system, a ghost aggression system that can be managed with smudge sticks and measured with the EMF meters, and a unique fight against each of the ghosts when they manifest.

See previews, footage of the ghosts in action, and more on my Youtube channel:

I will also respond to questions much faster there, because Steam does not send notifications to my phone like Youtube does.

These are real ghosts. No nanomachines, no archotechs. This is modded Rimworld, we clown in this MF. Take your sensitive ass back to Anomaly.

These are lore accurate ghosts. No aggressive banshees or corporeal De Ogens. We clown in this MF. Take your sensitive ass back to Phasmophobia.

Ghosts will occasionaly begin haunting your colony, preferring the room with the most foot traffic.

Over time the ghost will become more aggressive, commiting progressively more intrusive ghost events.

Ghosts can be placated with smudge sticks. If you fail to placate them for too long or destroy the room they are haunting, the ghost will manifest and attack.

Ghost aggression level can be measured with dousing rods or an EMF meter.

All ghosts scale in strength with wealth, meaning they won't instantly gank your small colony.
There is also primitive equipment allowing ghosts to be played against and dealt with even in tribal era.

The ghosts can be exorcised with either a worn holy book or a polished bell. The exorcism must be done by an ideoligion's moralist (if Ideology is installed).

When successfully exorcising a ghost they will manifest in a weaker state.

The ghost type can be determined by figuring out which combination of 3 ghost events it uses. Each ghost type has it's "ultimate ability" that it uses when manifesting outside of exorcisms, 2 unique abilities that it uses in combats, and a channeled ability that is gifted to the exorcist upon defeating a properly exorcised ghost.


Adds 5 evidence ghost events:
-Flickering lights or extinguishing fires
-Ghost writing on the floor
-House fires
-Freezing cold
-Furniture degredation
Pawns will get a mood debuff from witnessing ghost event, and even flee from the more violent or scary ones.
