All major Rimworld Odyssey DLC features
The Odyssey DLC will allow you to travel across planets on your gravship. you may land on the planets, scavenge for loot, unearth treasures, and more. The beginning will be small, with just a few rooms and thrusters, while fuel will be rare. Your ultimate objective is to make the ship your new home and build new areas like labs, workshops, hospitals, and more for your settlers.
The new DLC will also offernew weapons, wildlife, and more(explained in the following section).
Rimworld Odyssey DLC weapons and animals
The new DLC will have more weapons and animals (thankfully, I can remove the 100+ mods I have for these two).Over 40 new animalswill be part of the journey, all available to be tamed, trained, traded, or eaten. The stock of animals will be limited initially, but they will expand as you grow your gravship and explore more planets.
You can also teach new skills to the animals and use them to complete various goals. They can either protect your settlers or unearth treasures and resources on their own. You can also bring prehistoric creatures like theMastodonon your journey (so cool!).Rimworldalso brings fishing to the party, as you’ll find different fish in the various biomes. You can always catch and turn them into nutritious foods to survive the harsh space.
The Odyssey DLC will introduce thehive mind—an endless line of mechanoids trying to wipe out every human alive. But you’re not alone in this fight, as the expansion also offers new weapons like the sawed-off shotgun that can clear a wave in seconds. Your settlers can also equip new gear like Hunter drones to hunt and paralyze enemies.
Rimworld Odyssey DLC release date
Based onthe developer notes, an exact release date for the Odyssey DLC is yet to be announced, but I expect it to go live in July. For the first time, we can travel in space and jump between planets. The expansion excites me, and I am already looking forward to the new mods coming as part of the upcoming expansion.
