Save Our Ship 2

Save Our Ship 2 Overview

Save Our Ship 2 is an unofficial expansion for RimWorld. Build a liveable spaceship and continue your colonists' stories in orbit – engaging in ship-to-ship combat with pirates, searching derelicts for treasure, and perhaps even discovering a phenomenal cosmic secret or two! SOS2 includes two custom endings: build the Johnson-Tanaka drive to transport your colonists to a different rimworld for a New Game+ experience, or evolve one of your colonists to machine godhood using the Archotech Spore.

Newly upgraded with tons of new features and stability upgrades for 1.5 and beyond, SOS2.7 is the best version of Save Our Ship yet. SOS2 is being maintained by community volunteers with occasional updates by the original devs!

Build your own ships, or capture them from the enemy! Save your ship and load it too, on a new save!

To build a ship all you need to do is:
- Build an enclosed hull using Hull Walls.
- Fill that enclosed Hull with Hull Tiles.
- Use Airlocks to access the sealed space.
- You may then fill this space with ship parts, floors, vanilla walls, etc.



Pre-Flight Checklist:
- Build life support. One supports the entire ship.
- Use Ship Vents in place of Coolers and Heaters.
- Add a Pilot Console and assign a pawn as pilot.
- Build Sensors.
- Attach Engines to the outside of the ship.
- Fuel the engines.
- Select the pilot console to check for warnings and launch when ready!

After building enough engines, a pilot console or computer core, and basic sensors, your ship can lift off!

Heat, Weapons, and Shields


The Heat System in SOS2.7 has been completely overhauled for simplicity and better performance.

- Shields, Reactors, and Weapons all generate heat.
- Heat is piped via Thermal Conduits to Coolant Tanks.
- Build Heat Sinks with built-in radiators to dump heat to space.
- Purge heat via the Bridge or use Emergency Purge Ports with molten silver.

Ship to the Stars

Travel to a landed ship with a friendly AI!

Search at the Science Console to find the original starship wreck. Discover the Johnson-Tanaka Drive and embark on a long interstellar journey.

This is effectively a New Game Plus – Save your ship by firing the JT-Drive, and then exi to the main menu, start a New Game, load ship, Edit Scenario, and, load your ship, too!

This gif shows you how:



End Game Quest

With a ship AI active, follow mysterious psychic signals from an ancient archotech. Trace the signal to discover a final challenge and unlock the ultimate ending.



Shuttles (via Vehicle Framework) can now:
- Carry cargo
- Serve as fighters
- Be upgraded with weapons, shields, and engines

To start with a specific ship or station, go to:
*Scenario Editor > Edit Mode > Click on Random*
A list of ships will then appear. This works when loading saved ships too.
