Empire and Vanilla Outposts Expanded - two of the oldest and, at least at one point in time, most popular mods to enable a semblence of 4X gameplay in Rimworld. Yet, they operate entirely independently of each other, with no integration whatsoever.
Empire Refactored: Outposts & Settlements
aims to rectify that. It adds numerous minor systems to tie VOE Outposts into Empire Refactored's gameplay systems:
- Defensive Outposts can either auto-defend like Empire squads, or offer a passive military level bonus to settlements within range
- Outposts in general are vulnerable to Empire raids (though such raids only resolve through auto-battles)
- Outposts, under the right conditions, can be transformed into Empire settlements. You can even enable a setting to force all Empire settlements to come from an outpost, first
- Empire settlements can send their taxes and tithes to a specific outpost, and can also be set to draw all necessary funds from an outpost's coffers
- Production and Science outposts can be linked to a settlement, providing a boost to that settlement's resource production instead of materials or raw research points
- Encampments accelerate the heal rate of Empire mercs in nearby settlements
- Outposts are included in Empire's road-building system, resulting in all of your outposts and settlements being connected. Individual outposts can be excluded from road-building by toggling a gizmo.
Each of these individual integrations can be toggled or adjusted in the mod settings.
This mod also bundles my Vanilla Outposts Expanded: Settings for Towns mod, so don't run both at the same time. It should also go without saying that this mod supercedes my Empire Settlement from VOE Town and Empire: Deliver Taxes to VOE Outposts mods.
