Vanilla Races Expanded - Archon - Dimensional Warriors and Psychic Genes for RimWorld

Vanilla Races Expanded - Archon introduces mysterious xenohumans believed to descend from populations left on transcended worlds. These dimension-traveling warriors combine combat prowess, exceptional psychic sensitivity and hostility toward other xenotypes.

Both Biotech and Royalty are required. Vanilla Psycasts Expanded provides additional optional content.

Archite genes and psychic abilities

Archons use specialized archotech equipment and exclusive psycasts, supported by new genes that enhance their psychic capabilities.

Individual genes appear in genepacks and can be applied to other pawns.

To recruit an archon, follow the usual prisoner process: incapacitate, capture and recruit them.

Transcendence and returning from death

For transcendent pawns, death can send the body into another dimension instead of ending their story permanently.

After 30 days, a special return event becomes eligible. It is not guaranteed to happen immediately: timing depends on the storyteller, with the event sharing the occurrence chance of cargo pods.

A returning pawn is fully healed. Former player colonists immediately rejoin the colony.

Kidnapped colonists

Colonists abducted by archons remain stored as kidnapped pawns. They may reappear through prisoner-rescue quests, although their appearance may have changed.

Compatibility and saves

Can be added to an existing save. Safe removal is not assured.

This is a Biotech gene-based xenotype, with no planned Humanoid Alien Races version or Royalty-free edition.

Combat Extended compatibility is unconfirmed.
