2025-10-18 22:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I got a little teaser for you all!
The teaser is in a form of a tester's task list - a list of tasks for our testers to check if everything in the mod is working as intended. Reading this list will give you a rough idea just how massive the mod is!

While our coders are chipping away at Ancients and Gravships, I've decided to procrastinate creating infographics for Gravships Expanded and started reworking some of the factories.

One of the big goals of Vanilla Gravships Expanded has always been to make gravships feel like more than just 'a base on wheels'. They should be the beating heart of your colony, a true marvel of technology and something akin of a capital ship, and that means making s...
2025-09-28 10:32:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey there!
One of the things we love about RimWorld’s Odyssey DLC is the idea that some of the most powerful upgrades can’t simply be manufactured. They have to be found, earned, and wrestled from the orbit itself. We’ve carried that philosophy into Vanilla Gravship Expanded 2025-09-14 12:29:21 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello everyone!
Today I want to show you one of the biggest changes we’re bringing to Vanilla Gravships Expanded: a complete overhaul of how gravship research works - and with that, progression. Until now, research has always followed the same pattern: build a research be...

In Vanilla Races Expanded – Starjack, we're expanding the Starjack xenotype into a fully space-adapted species. Originally built for life in zero gravity, Starjacks now come with new genes, unique abilities, and a deeper identity as orbital specialists who struggle on planetary surfaces.
Hey folks!
We have been hard at work when it comes to overhauling starjacks in Odyssey DLC. It's a really cool, orbit-oriented xenotype, but it feels a bit too 'safe', as if Ludeon was afraid to leap further with them. And maybe they were. But we aren't.
