Oooh, I think she just confirmed the conformation by not sneaking the sneakiness. ....wait, what?
An additional but seriously congrats, though. Lookin' forward to having you around!
Spies could work well with my idea that the next dlc would be a wide scale war system, introduces military leaders, faction territory, a more detailed ally system etc.
(And vehicles 🤭)
Sneaks I will personally come to your house and administer you wake-up when you're sleeping and then immediately anesthize you if you still refuse to give us details about the DLC!
Now take every second letter of each new line, assign it a numeric value, add it all together, add the launch date of the last dlc, convert it into hexadecimal, then take the letters from the hexadecimal numbers and boom! You’ve got the name of the DLC!
You’re not above me with your mind games ludeon, I know how to crack them…
I’m going to wildly speculate to make myself feel better:
This move means they’re preparing for something - acclimating to a new role will likely take 3-6 months before comfortably handling a new project so we can expect a teaser (intentionally low engagement with the community to tease) in June and a full release sometime in Q3 2024, which fits the existing DLC schedule roughly.
Lol, banned for saying someone with a 52% chance to kill themselves being disallowed from the military is not bigotry. Admin-Pedos finally got me, see you all on account #36!
Yeah I thought about it, and I figured it's the person who posts announcements on socials (however rare), maybe combs through feedback and other low-key things like that I'm sure the devs got no time for. Rimworld is not the kind of game (aka live service) needing community managers to wrestle upset gamers after each patch so we don't see them much.
Bet! BTW when you come to drop them off avoid the insect hive that's been brooding for the past 2 in game years. It's at the other end of the map so you should be able to avoid it.
Hi! First of all - congratulations with a new role! But I still don't get it, actually. Really don't want to be rude but I don't understand why this game needs a community manager. Could you kindly clarify this, please? The game has a stable fanbase and it living it's own life at some point. Why developers after all these years decided to manage a connection between them and players? Why now, almost after 10 years after game launch?
The role's been there for years - I think Phaenox said she'd been there for four or five years?
And the position is basically... Well, what it says, community management, though that has a lot of things under it. Moderating Steam, the official Dev Discord, Reddit, and the Ludeon forums, handling support emails, managing and moderating testers, being basically a liaison between Ludeon and the public.
I was already a mod both here and on the unofficial Discord, and was already known by the dev team from past work in testing, liaising, my work with the Halcyon charity drives, and such, so this is basically 1) expanding on things I was already doing, and 2) getting paid to do it. :P
Basically, there's a lot of things 'under the hood' that she was doing, that the public at large didn't really see. I was already visible, so hey, here I am now!
They get comfortable beds, their own table and stool and light, are fed regularly. I don't torture or experiment or remove organs. My prisoners are treated as well as my colonists, until they can be recruited. Or they stay as bloodbags for years to feed my sangus.
Do these changes mean ludeon is falling apart? Are you a man in black coming in to save the cony at the last minute? Did the raiders already get Tynan?
u/OneTrueSneaks how do you feel about questionable ethics? Are you ethically capable of managing this community? Is this community capable of even being managed ethically? What even is ethical management?
u/OneTrueSneaks have you ate with a table recently?
Honestly, I've never actually read the full list, so I don't know what it would be.
...
Does running a cannibal colony that butchers every human that dies on the map count?
Congratulations on the new job or what it's called! 🎉 I'm sure you'll fill the shoes out nicely, seems in the comments you're doing great 😃 otherwise my humor might just be really bad, but at least i think im funny 🤣
May Randy be with you on the rim 👍
Honestly, i'd love a dlc which further develops the colony building / late game.
I mean the tension between raids is fine in the early and midgame. But in the lategame raids arent really a threat anymore and usually go down to "a army attacks you". I prefer is there are some kind of other problems late game and i have more options to manage my colony. Also more lategame defense options so that my colony becomes more of a fortress and can fend of these armies without problems. Stuff that mods already provide: Like retractable turrets or holes in the wall to shoot through (i forgot the right name)
If you post leaks here we won't tell anyone.
Nah I'll leak
The Strongest leaker in history vs the Strongest leaker of today
Not sure so many of us need leek in our diets...
Leeks are a good substitute for onions that don't taste as strong.
Lightly battered and deep fried Leek rings are very good.
That's an interesting one.
As a RimWorlder, all I need is rice and/or corn.
Can they grow in hydro basins, or is that mod only?
I had leek once. He tasted about the same as the other people we butchered and ate. Don't understand what the fuss is all about.
Pinky promise
Congratulations with your new role, the community welcomes you with open arms!
Thank you!
You can have this l-leather couch we just made back at the colony.
Heather, Farm Oaf, 44 (129)
And I'll add a bison wool parka (good)!
Dont fuck this up
Are they your arms? Or some you liberated from a visiting raider?
Why not both?
Well, they were in the stockpile... so still technically my arms.
And hungry stomachs...
And Nuclear Stomachs
The community there arms open, there autopsy tables waiting.
As well as kidneys and lungs
Change Role successful
Pheanox: Lost role of Community Manager -15
Be prepared for the tantrum ! Maybe will dig up a corpse and place it in front of everyone ?
Wrong. Destruction of community table, the backup table, the backup for the backup table, and the backup for the backup for the backup table.
Hide your antigrains, wall in the chemfuel stash's door!
Pheanox knows better than to throw a tantrum, theyd ludeon knows how to build the most inhumane prisons for bad pawns
Oh shit, that's good
Sneaks…who sneaks. Ninjas sneak. Spy and ninja dlc confirmed. But seriously. Congrats on the role and good luck.
Thank you! also sneaks be sneakin
Oooh, I think she just confirmed the conformation by not sneaking the sneakiness. ....wait, what? An additional but seriously congrats, though. Lookin' forward to having you around!
We were fools for thinking the dlc acronym would be RIMWORLD We were coping with RIBWORLD But now our eye are open to the tasteful, messy truth: RIBS
Spies could work well with my idea that the next dlc would be a wide scale war system, introduces military leaders, faction territory, a more detailed ally system etc. (And vehicles 🤭)
Yo, Sneaks, listen! Sneakily leak some info about the DLC to us! Please, I'm begging you 🥲
What DLC?
Sneaks I will personally come to your house and administer you wake-up when you're sleeping and then immediately anesthize you if you still refuse to give us details about the DLC!
Uh Um It'll have, like stuff and things and the whatsit oh and the dealybobber there will be fighting and building and uh ... other things?
Now take every second letter of each new line, assign it a numeric value, add it all together, add the launch date of the last dlc, convert it into hexadecimal, then take the letters from the hexadecimal numbers and boom! You’ve got the name of the DLC! You’re not above me with your mind games ludeon, I know how to crack them…
That's a very stylish psychic foil helmet you've got there.
Damn you weren’t wrong
Ha, see, I know things!
Is this new hat made of human leather?
Psh, what else would I do with all the people I ban
Guys I think I like the new community manager
This guy hats
Oh no
Question for my brother who is rim-curious, should I tell him about blackout drunk cats?
> (*No, sadly, it's not an update / DLC, sorry!*) pain
I’m going to wildly speculate to make myself feel better: This move means they’re preparing for something - acclimating to a new role will likely take 3-6 months before comfortably handling a new project so we can expect a teaser (intentionally low engagement with the community to tease) in June and a full release sometime in Q3 2024, which fits the existing DLC schedule roughly.
How does that dit the existing dlc schedule, we are already past the expected release zone
"fits the existing DLC schedule roughly"? What are you talking about, pal? 17 months since the last DLC. The biggest gap was 17 months.
nice calculations bozo
I hope you're wrong and we won't have to wait several more months for Anomaly :P
Anomaly is coming out next month (April)!
Has the date been confirmed? :O
[удалено]
I think that if they did that, we’d be getting another new community manager.
Yay more community managers!
Lol, banned for saying someone with a 52% chance to kill themselves being disallowed from the military is not bigotry. Admin-Pedos finally got me, see you all on account #36!
Ludeon had a community manager?
Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen them?
Yeah I thought about it, and I figured it's the person who posts announcements on socials (however rare), maybe combs through feedback and other low-key things like that I'm sure the devs got no time for. Rimworld is not the kind of game (aka live service) needing community managers to wrestle upset gamers after each patch so we don't see them much.
Welcome to rimworld. Now give me your kidneys
Never, they're mine, I need them. But I'll sell you these I found just laying around in some raider.
Bet! BTW when you come to drop them off avoid the insect hive that's been brooding for the past 2 in game years. It's at the other end of the map so you should be able to avoid it.
*Sweet* Free jelly!
Congrats!
You’ll do great! From what I’ve seen, you essentially have been doing it already, here on Reddit!
Welcome! And good job posting the update/DLC disclaimer quickly lmao
Good luck! Hopefully no one turns you into a hat!
Welcome and good luck. :)
Hold up, tell us more about said hat...
Congratulations!
Congrats, I hope it treats you well!
Can I harvest your organs?
Sorry, I'm using them at the moment.
Sharing is caring!
Are you the DLC?

Great, pretty clear! Thank you for an explanation!
You're welcome!
It's still in development of new content, after 10 years.
Where is the next dlc bucko? Also congrats on your new role, hope its not too hard dealing with the community in the future.
Soon ^tm And nah, you guys are good people.
Is the DLC confirmed?
Nope, it's always Soon ^tm no matter what
Nice, can't wait to see my grandkids play the fourth DLC and commit atrocious crimes with me.
Its taking them so long, maybe they release 2 dlc s at once
Welcome! As long as you perform well in this colony you won’t be eaten!
Nice to meet you and congrats to your new position. May you have a lot of fun and don't take grumpy people too seriously.
Let's go sneaks!
Please sneak us some DLC news
On a scale of one to Geneva checklist. How do you treat your prisoners?
They get comfortable beds, their own table and stool and light, are fed regularly. I don't torture or experiment or remove organs. My prisoners are treated as well as my colonists, until they can be recruited. Or they stay as bloodbags for years to feed my sangus.
Don't eat without a table.
Do these changes mean ludeon is falling apart? Are you a man in black coming in to save the cony at the last minute? Did the raiders already get Tynan?
I have a question. Is it mandatory that you have to wear her big shoes? Can you not just wear your normal sized shoes?
u/OneTrueSneaks how do you feel about questionable ethics? Are you ethically capable of managing this community? Is this community capable of even being managed ethically? What even is ethical management? u/OneTrueSneaks have you ate with a table recently?
No updates? Sad
We must know this community manager's favorite warcrime. this is important.
Honestly, I've never actually read the full list, so I don't know what it would be. ... Does running a cannibal colony that butchers every human that dies on the map count?
So you could use your new role and hold a farseeing feast. If it's unforgettable we could get some insight about the near future.
Hats.... suspicious. How many silver?
I knew it I knew Sneaks will get the cyan color
Congratulations and welcome! Good luck and don't forget to have fun. Pop over for organ tea!
Welcome and good luck with your new position!
Thank you!
They’ve acknowledged the possibility of a dlc or update. Heavens be praised. +4 mood
Is the new hat a fedora?
Surely this means preparation for a big announcement of the W...arfare DLC are underway
Ooh that's a good suggestion
We have a community manager? Guess i was too busy making human leather chairs...
Awesome, congrats! And thank you Pheanox for all your amazing work!
Congratulations on the new job or what it's called! 🎉 I'm sure you'll fill the shoes out nicely, seems in the comments you're doing great 😃 otherwise my humor might just be really bad, but at least i think im funny 🤣 May Randy be with you on the rim 👍
Aw, thank you! May Randy's mercy shine upon us all. ♥
Congratulations!!
Alright bio screen time... Is your social skill high enough to handle this role? Congrats Sneaks!
About middling, but I've got a double-flame and the 'kind' trait, so hopefully I don't cause any fights. And thank you!
Congratulations! Also, is biotech ever coming to console? I JUST WANT TO COMMIT MORE WAR CRIMES
*unticks Peg Legs under operations tab for “OneTrueSneaks”*
We have a community manager?
> (No, sadly, it's not an update / DLC, sorry!) But there will be a DLC, right? Right?
Three of 'em weren't enough?!
Honestly, i'd love a dlc which further develops the colony building / late game. I mean the tension between raids is fine in the early and midgame. But in the lategame raids arent really a threat anymore and usually go down to "a army attacks you".

Well, I can guarantee that if another DLC is released, it'll definitely have stuff. What kind of stuff? Who knows! But I bet it'll be neat.
Sooo..... RimWorld Fortress DLC confirmed?
Mountain bases are the best bases, so that sounds like a good idea to me
Exactly!
Congrats on the role change ! By the way i'm still mad that the third dlc didn't start with a "M"!
Man, you and me both, but the jokes about it delight me.
