RimWorld Ideology DLC is available today for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
What could make a frenzied, addictive survival game where a guinea pig goes mad and takes down your entire colony, even more fun to play? A belief system of course!
The Ideology expansion lets you tell even better stories, as you can now create your own brand new belief system and act it out within your colony. You can play as mole-people tunnelers who shun the light, grow a nature-loving community, become dance-party techno ravers, or dwell as established rustic Elk ranchers. You can mix and match belief systems to create your perfect colony. Customize anything you want, from individual precepts to rituals to specialist roles to venerated animals.
You can now hold ceremonies for your many, many dead (oh, so many!) Gather your colonists together to say their goodbyes to the partial remains of their friends. Perhaps you would like to worship a squirrel? (I mean, who wouldn’t?) Or maybe you want to be a caring community who gives to charity and helps wounded passers by? Ideology allows you to creatively express who you really are. What a thought! You can make all your colonists have beards or live out your childhood dream of a purple haired community. Weapons, culture, clothing and even tattoo preferences can all be chosen and adapted by you.
For you action-lovers out there, Ideology provides even more opportunities for combat. Every belief system holds a few select special objects as relics. Send your colonists out on multi-part quests to find and collect the relics that you believe in. Your colonist may have to fight through sleeping mechanoids and swashbuckling pirates to retrieve an ancient sword, face threatening insects to capture a skull or navigate carefully past dangerously unstable fuel stores to claim a sacred piece of armor. These new quests will take you through time-worn ruins, or bring spacedrones to your colony, which you must decode to extract precious information.
You might find a worshipped terminal quest nestled in the confines of a nearby tribal village. Attempts to hack the terminal will result in out and out war so you will have to sneakily enter in peace and then make a run for it or go all in from the start. How you choose to approach these delicate situations is up to. Then return triumphant to your base and install your hard earned ancient relic in a reliquary. Any claimed relics will enable you to bring others into the fold of your belief system and tempt passing pilgrims with gifts.
Enter brand new creatures to RimWorld! In this expansion, you might come across a unique type of tree growing near your base. Lofty and grandiose, the Gauranlen tree contains a small non-conscious queen. The queen births creatures called dryads which guard and tend the tree. In exchange, the tree nurtures its protectors by feeding them directly. Dryads can help you in your colony building so don’t ignore them! They can help you chop more wood, haul objects more effectively, increase medicine making and sprout much needed sustenance giving berries.
It is also possible for one of your colonists to form a connection with a Gauranlen tree and partially control the dryads it produces. If your colonists venerate the trees, they can connect with Gauranlen trees more effectively and influence the dryads more efficiently. Over time, such a tree-connector colony can build an entire economy and army from its Gauranlen orchard and the adorable yet formidable dryads.
I am so, so excited that you finally get to play this much loved RimWorld expansion and cannot wait to see the colonies you create with the new Ideology DLC!
If you haven’t yet discovered all that RimWorld has to offer, RimWorld Console Edition – Chronicles Bundle is also out now, with 20% off with Deals with Gold! This includes RimWorld Console Edition, and both Royalty and Ideology DLCs.
RimWorld Console Edition – Ideology
Double Eleven Ltd.
With the Ideology expansion, each person in the game gets a belief system. Everything is customizable. You can build mind-bending temples, hold unforgettable rituals, hunt the venerated relics of your belief system, and seek transcendence beyond reality in the new, epic archonexus endgame. Discover new ways to experience RimWorld Console Edition with the Ideology expansion.
MEMES
Each belief system is built around a collection of 1-4 core memes, where each meme represents a core idea in the belief system. By combining memes and changing the details of how they are expressed, you can create a near-infinite variety of different belief systems.
PRECEPTS
Each meme can give rise to a variety of different precepts. Each precept is a specific rule or guideline which affects a specific behavior or preference. Every belief system has an attitude towards slavery – some find the practice abhorrent, while others accept and even demand slaves as part of their beliefs. The same meme won’t always imply the same precepts – if you want fine control, you can edit and randomize precepts exactly the way you like.
CONVERSION
People can convert each other to new beliefs. You can assign wardens to convert prisoners, or use the special abilities of your moral guide. People will also spontaneously try to convert those around them.
SPECIAL ROLES
Make use of your favourite colonists’ strengths and skills by assigning them formal social roles. Each belief system defines special roles that believers can take on.
RITUALS
Each belief system defines a collection of unique rituals. These player-controlled events are special gatherings that have a variety of impacts depending on how they are carried out.
GAURANLEN TREES
A unique type of tree called the Gauranlen tree will occasionally sprout near your colony. These majestic orange trees have a symbiotic relationship with small creatures called dryads.
ADDITIONAL QUESTS
Ideology also adds some new quests such as relic hunts, ancient complex loot quests, new temporary encampments, and helping groups of beggars.
NEW BUILDINGS
Belief systems unlock new buildings. Many of the buildings are used to support rituals. Belief systems also unlock specific new buildables that have specific functions.
STYLES
Each belief system is associated with different aesthetic styles. Styles affect how many things look – rituals, furniture, floors, apparel, and art. Your colonists will enjoy being around things that match the styles of their belief system, and some may reject styles of other beliefs.
ARCHONEXUS ENDGAME
As your colony grows wealthy, you’ll have the opportunity to sell the whole thing and start anew with your favorite colonists and animals. In return, you’ll receive a piece of a map that leads to the archonexus – a conduit through which an ancient machine superintelligence is said to affect the physical world.

RIMWORLD IS A STORY GENERATOR
It’s designed to co-author tragic, twisted, and triumphant stories about imprisoned pirates, desperate colonists, starvation and survival. It works by controlling the “random” events that the world throws at you. Every thunderstorm, pirate raid, and travelling salesman is a card dealt into your story by the AI Storyteller. There are several storytellers to choose from. Randy Random does crazy stuff, Cassandra Classic goes for rising tension, and Phoebe Chillax likes to relax.
BUILD. DEFEND. EXPLORE
The game generates a whole planet from pole to equator. You choose whether to land your crash pods in a cold northern tundra, a parched desert flat, a temperate forest, or a steaming equatorial jungle. Different areas have different animals, plants, diseases, temperatures, rainfall, mineral resources, and terrain. The challenges of surviving in a disease-infested, choking jungle are very different from those in a parched desert wasteland or a frozen tundra with a two-month growing season.
ENDLESS COLONIST INTERACTION
Your colonists are not professional settlers – they’re crash-landed survivors from a passenger liner destroyed in orbit. You can end up with a nobleman, an accountant, and a housewife. You’ll acquire more colonists by capturing them in combat and turning them to your side. So your colony will always be a motley crew.
