Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!

PES is an Artificial Willpower Substitute™ designed to totally nullify your capability to save scum, dev mode, or otherwise alter the inevitable arrow of events. Finally enjoy Rimworld the way it was meant to be played - maximum consequence, maximum drama, maximum story!

Features:

  • By default, PES makes the game double autosave on receipt of any negative letter- e.g. raid or colonist death. This overwrites both the main and "backup" saves with the current gamestate, making it impossible to rollback!
  • PES permanently locks away dev mode and storyteller options after game start, and makes any PES-enabled saves impossible to load without PES installed and active.
  • Configurable options:
  • Autosaving on positive and neutral events can be enabled in mod settings.
  • You can choose to enable access to storyteller options. Requires a new save and will not work with existing saves.
  • For those with slow drives, you can choose to revert to a single autosave per event. Requires a new save and will not work with existing saves.
PES overrides Rimworld's internal methods for saving and loading gamestates. I am NOT responsible for any unforeseen interactions between PES and other mods that lead to the loss of your save file - use at your own risk! PES is also NOT compatible with existing saves. Only new games started with PES enabled can be loaded while PES is active.

  • Don't hesitate to leave a comment if you run into a bug, but PLEASE include any relevant information from the debug log if you do so.
  • Don't like that I'm repeating the developer's own words that permadeath is the way Rimworld is meant to be played? Seethe harder.
  • If you enjoy PES, be sure to give it a favorite and a thumbs-up so the Workshop algorithm gives it some time in the limelight!
