Here's something to brighten up a reigny Monday morning: RimWorld's free 1.1 update is rolling out to everyone today, and better still, a surprise DLC called Royalty has launched. Don't worry, it's not a battle royale.
The expansion means some rather glamorous figures can grace your space hovel, as the DLC introduces a new "honour-bound culture wield[ing] hyper-advanced technology". Despite their sci-fi capabilities, the Empire still uses a hereditary system of rule, and can bestow royal titles upon your colonists. While this gives colonists psychic powers, they also become rather hoity-toity, demanding luxury bedrooms and beautiful clothes while issuing "wild decrees that must be carried out", and occasionally playing piano, harp and harpsichord. I'm not sure how my flatmates still put up with me.
The bonus for putting up with all this is your colonists gain the psychic power to make enemies vomit en masse... amongst other things. The DLC also introduces high-tech weapons that "speak directly to the wielder through a psychic link", and a selection of body implants. I'll take the nuclear stomach for next time I go to the pub.
