Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

v2.0 beta — RimWorld 1.6 — by Crimsonking "We're not fighting for some noble cause. We fight so we can keep living." Brings the mobile suits of Iron-Blooded Orphans into RimWorld as fully pilotable mechsuits. Climb inside Barbatos, crush Gjallarhorn's enforcement columns, and build Tekkadan from the dirt up. Seven suits. Each plays differently. One permanent enemy faction that does not negotiate. An Alaya-Vijnana implant system that makes the difference between piloting a Gundam and just sitting inside one. Start from nothing. Keep living.

🔴 FRAMES Unknown Gundam — a dormant Calamity War relic. No records. No designation. Your starting point. Gundam Barbatos — the heart of Tekkadan. Ancient, heavily armed, and built for close-quarters devastation. Gundam Barbatos Lupus — Barbatos rebuilt and refined. Faster, sharper, and capable of a burst that burns everything in reach. Gundam Gusion — a heavy brawler. Slower than Barbatos, substantially better armoured. Default loadout pairs a massive hammer with a 90mm SMG for fire-and-crush capability. Gundam Gusion Rebake — Gusion stripped and rebuilt by Tekkadan. Faster and more agile. The chopper replaces the hammer. UGY-R41 Graze — Gjallarhorn's mass-produced workhorse. Runs on chemfuel. The same unit your enemies arrive in — and the easiest to field in bulk. EB-AX2 Graze Ein — Ein Dalton is no longer the pilot. He is the machine. Pure melee. No weapon slots. Closes distance and dismantles whatever is in front of it. Rare Gjallarhorn command-tier deployment.

⚔️ WEAPONS Katana — close-quarters blade for Barbatos and Lupus. Fast and brutal. Mace — the Unknown Gundam's default arm. Blunt, heavy, and effective. 300mm Smoothbore Cannon — Barbatos' signature long-arm. Ancient hardware that still outranges everything fielded today. Gusion Hammer — two-handed crusher. Gusion's primary. Slow swing, enormous damage. Gusion Chopper — Rebake's blade arm. Faster than the hammer, still devastating. 90mm SMG — Gusion's ranged arm. Short to mid-range suppression paired with the hammer. Graze Rifle — standard Gjallarhorn issue. Available to any Graze frame. Battle Axe — Graze close-combat option. All weapons are craftable. All are hand-slot components installed and swapped at the Gantry.

🧠 ALAYA-VIJNANA SYSTEM The AV Neural Node is a spinal implant surgically installed into a pilot. Any colonist can pilot a Frame — the implant is what decides how well. Three tiers, each crafted independently with escalating costs and surgical risk. Higher tiers push targeting accuracy, movement speed, and melee performance further toward the Calamity War ceiling. Mk.III pairs with an AV Sync Core Mk.III frame component for the highest possible performance bonus — and the highest pain load. The AV Sync Core installs in the Frame's head slot and is active only while a pilot is seated. Tier is determined by the lower of pilot implant tier and installed core tier.

⚡ REACTORS AND POWER Gundam Frames run on Ahab Reactor Fuel — synthesized at the Fabrication Bench. Not easy to stockpile. Manage it. The Graze series runs on standard chemfuel. Simpler, cheaper, and easy to source in bulk. A strong reason to field one early. No fuel means no power. A dead reactor means a stationary mech. Plan your supply lines.

🏴 GJALLARHORN The Principality of Gjallarhorn holds a monopoly on mobile suit technology. They send enforcement columns. They escalate. They do not stop. Standard raids field Grazes. Heavy raids may deploy the Graze Ein — a command-tier unit with no weapon slots and no comparable melee threat in the mod. Prepare accordingly. Destroying their Grazes drops Nanolaminate Scrap — the primary material for armor plating and advanced components. Salvage is always more efficient than crafting from scratch.
