Ideas for Ideology
I am planning on doing some ideology stuff revolving around this mod.
If anyone has ideas, feel free to post them here.
I myself haven't looked much into the transhumanist stuff which I would probably use as a baseline.

more like IDEAlogy :)

perhaps a ritual award that could reward you with some evolved organs? i.e having a sweet dance party gives you a new better liver or something. probably just some light basic organ application ones for balancing reasons, maybe a way to get them to be higher quality as you progress, not sure if that's possible though

and also perhaps making a separate meme for evolved organs, like Evolved Transhumanism (i'm not good at names) so you could have regular bionics be despised but cool biological organs are awesome

can't wait to make an ideoligion based around this stuff, keep up the good work

Hy radiriz,

I like the idea of getting a random natural bodypart getting replaced by certain rituals.
Or even make a new one that can only be gained by this ritual. (Similar to the gacha consumable from the Moyo race mod)

I would rather not make a tierlist of the bodyparts to have them improve with every ritual.

I absolutely plan on making a whole ideology around evolved natural body parts.

maybe have some kind of human form related ideology in wich people really dislike (or like) the idea of having more than 4 limbs. or in generall have either a like or dislike for the bodyparts that look not very human. if there are people out there that rather have one arm than a prostetic you can be pretty sure there are people out there that dislike the idea of having a tail.
could add a bit of decision making as well in far as that a certain amount is ok (having 2 is ok but for every part over that there will be penalties)

I'll advocate for an meat version of Transhuman ideology, "flesh perfected by the hand of Science", and all that.

Though personally I like mixing in bionics too.

Yeah, I wanted to make an ideology specifically to evolved biology as a counterpart to the cyborgs that can be made with vanilla Rimworld.

Maybe a variant on raiders of some sort of ravenous bioweapons? Give mood buffs when harvesting people for their meat for use in enhancing your pawns?
Or perhaps quality over quantity? Buffing your role characters with all sorts of fun organs whilst everyone else are like devotees or something?
Faremann 29 Jul, 2021 @ 12:17pm 
having raiders using those could be interesting/challenging or people that overmoded themself and went crazy as some kind auf manhunter variant. not sure if thats ideolegy related though

Hy Faremann,

you mean that all the pawns with EVOR organs get into berserker rages at the same time?

That would be an instant death for almost all colonies. A single modded out pawn with a Butcher's Nail that goes berserk is already half doomed.
Ada ⚢ 29 Jul, 2021 @ 1:46pm 
fairly sure berserker rage doesn't target allies?

I have some ideas, that aren't necessarily ideology, but would potentially work for it:

A playstyle where you absorb/feast on pawn, to evolve, instead of researching it?

Maybe something vampire related?

Just some ideas.

And I am seconding the transhumanist but bio evolution idea

no im talking of a form of raid by a person / multiple people gone crazy from bad body mods or butcher nails

Hy Faremann,

you mean that a random faction with that ideology spawns that raids the player?

That actually sounds quite interesting. Not sure if I can implement that though.

Not sure how hard it would be to program it but would it be possible to add a social buff in regards to an 'evolved ideology' where those who are more heavily evolved have a higher standing amongst their peers?

Hy Salty Slothy,

you mean something like a permament opinion boost when someone has EVOR parts?
That should be possible, the game does this with the ideologies where being blind is preferred.

Yeah basically this. Perhaps give a bit of a bonus to that for the top tier augments?

Just ideas, some feedback would be nice:

Nudist required - Wanna show off that beautifully crafted body.
Melee required - Use your own body as the most efficient weapon.
Maybe with buffs to melee arms and legs.
