Quickstarter

The library provides some additional tools to make Rimworld mod development a more enjoyable experience.

Quickstarter

The quickstarter is a system that will automatically load a save file or generate a new map as soon as the game is started. This is very useful during development, since the game has to be started in the dozens to hundreds of times while your mod is taking shape.

The settings dialog can be opened by clicking the new button in the Dev toolbar:

Notable features:

• Abort on error/warning
  These two settings will abort the quickstart if either one is generated while the game is starting up.
• One-click map generation
  Holding shift and clicking the toolbar button will start a new game and generate a new map, no questions asked.
• Vanilla quicktest
  The quickstarter is integrated with the vanilla functionality that generates a new map when the quicktest command line argument is used. Quicktest maps will generate with the selected scenario and size, but only if the quickstarter is enabled.
• Dev mode only
  The quickstarter will only run if the game is in Dev mode.
