​Update 1.6.4566 improves gravships, shuttles, and more     ​

Hello everyone, we’ve got a content update for RimWorld today!Gravships have received some quality-of-life changes. The new gravship launch interface lets you get your colony’s animals and mechanoids onboard, and kicks visitors out. This makes takeoffs feel better and prevents accidental kidnappings. The pilot console now has a “view range” tool that shows your gravship’s range without going through the whole launch process. Shuttles can now safely land on items, and they no longer obliterate a ton of roof when landing inside buildings – only the necessary roof. When you’re in orbit, colonists won’t automatically take off their life-saving, vacuum-resistant apparel if they’re in a dangerous vacuum. Mechanitors can summon the mechanoid bosses… in spaaaace! We added a new vacskin gland prosthetic from the Empire that protects your colonists against vacuum. (This cross-expansion content only appears for those with Odyssey and Royalty). We rebalanced the starjack xenotype to make them more useful in space – they have a new low gravity adapted gene which makes them faster and better workers while in orbit. Other improvements include a new category for fishing in the work tab, tree sowing research allows you to grow timbershrooms in the glowforest, and the sentience catalyst now stops farm animals from roaming away. And just in time for the colder seasons, there are new snowy visuals for trees and some plants!We’ve also made several technical improvements to the game. We reduced the generation and loading times for worlds with 100% coverage, as well as added some tools to help our modders. This update should be compatible with all savegames and mods.
