Thanks for purchasing RimWorld!

This file contains some useful miscellaneous inf

o.
Please be sure to read the EULA.txt included alongside this file before playing!
============================================================
=============== Where's my save data? ======================
============================================================
To find saved games or config data:
1. Start the game.
2. Open the options menu.
3. Click "open save data folder".
Or look in this folder, depending on your operating system:
WINDOWS:
C:/Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/
(On Windows, the AppData folder may be hidden.)
MAC:

/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/RimWorld/

LINUX:

/home/[username]/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/

Deleting config files will reset them. This can be useful if the game is borked
and won't start.
For debugging and troubleshooting, the output_log.txt file is in the _Data folde
r in the game install folder.
Why is it like this? Modern operating systems separate changing data from progra
m installations for several reasons:
-First, it allows different users to have different save and config data
.
-Second, it enhances security, because it allows the program to run with
out having permission to write to disk anywhere outside its own little save fold
er.
OVERRIDING:
You can override the save data folder. This is useful, for example, if you want
to install the game on a USB stick so you can plug and play it from anywhere.
To do this, add this to the end of the command line used to launch the game:
-savedatafolder=C:/Path/To/The/Folder
So it'll look something like this:
C:/RimWorld/RimWorld.exe -savedatafolder=C:/Path/To/The/Folder
If you don't start the path with anything, it'll be relative to the game's root
folder. So you could do this, to have the game save data in a folder called Save
Data in its own root folder:
-savedatafolder=SaveData
Be sure the game is running with permission to modify the folder. It may not wor
k properly if, for example, you run the game under default permissions on its ow
n install folder.

A partial source release is included with the game in the Source folder.
Here you'll find a few of the source files for the base game for your reference.
You can also decompile the whole game using a .NET decompiler like dotPeek or IL
Spy.
For testing, you can start the game into a tiny (fast-loading) map with one clic
k by running the game with the -quicktest command line parameter. For example:
C:/RimWorld/RimWorld.exe -quicktest
If you're a modder, we recommend making a shortcut to the game that does this.
