** Metalhorrors. '''Full Stop.''' These are parasites that infect their host, by replacing their nervous system and other parts, to control their host to spread more of them. In game, any pawn can come in infected (including non-anomaly events), become infected by any entity attack, become infected by food cooked by an infected pawn or surgery done by an infected pawn, and through Revenant hypnoisos. To find them? You have to perform a surgery, and the first time you do this on a non-infected pawn, the game will tell you that '''doctors may lie in their self-interest.'''.

The only time the game will tell you that there are metalhorrors in your colony is if a non-infected pawn finds a gray flesh sample. Also, Metalhorrors will only take 25% of damage.

** This doesn't even come close to the existential horror this procedure can create. What if the ripscanned individuals are still conscious, but cannot do anything as they serve those who forced them into their unfeeling, mechanical bodies? What if even copying their minds without killing them merely condemned their copied consciousness to the same fate? Perhaps the mechanoids invading your colony were once people who were driven mad by their wretched existence and decided to take their anger out on everyone else.

Phoebe Chillax is the easiest though [[BewareTheCuteOnes even she has a little bite]] on higher difficulties. Cassandra Classic is the typical Storyteller who will give you a steadily increasing difficulty curve taking ranking your progress into account so that the challenges can be something you can handle. However, the absolutely worst (or best, depending on the player) is [[RNGesus [[RandomNumberGod Randy Random]]. He doesn't care whether you actually can handle what he throws at you, only that it's fun to watch you struggle and hopefully surpass them. Or not; [[ItAmusedMe it's all for a great story to him. ]] Randy doesn't give a shit if you're a village of tribals armed with nothing but bows and stone axes; if dropping a squad of marines armed with advanced armor and charge rifles into your hapless doctor's tent makes for a better story than gifting you twenty cases of beer, he'd do it.
* An addendum for the above: you will encounter groups of people not affiliated with any of the major factions, including the aforementioned wild people. You with also encounter ruined buildings and furniture made of materials that are at your technological level to construct or above if you're playing as a tribe. ''How many colonies met an untimely end before you arrived?'' Who's to say that you won't soon join them?
* As you play Rimworld, it will soon become apparent that the world was once ruled over by an ancient spacefaring civilization. Factions ranging from tribes of humans armed with neolithic tools and weapons to more

CasualInterstellarTravel is non-existent; anyone departing a planet for a Rimworld has no hope of returning home and getting even the ''faintest'' idea of the extent of human civilization is ''impossible.'' When your colonists look through their telescopes, you can't help but wonder how they feel knowing that humanity inhabits those far-off stars, forever out of their reach.

** One of the roles packaged with ''Ideology'' is the Leader. Representing your faction in diplomacy, the leader comes with a variety of abilities emphasizing their duties in the colony, including the ability to accuse any colonist of wrongdoing, ''regardless of actual level of guilty''. If successful, the accused can be imprisoned, banished, and even ''executed'' without much fuss from the other colonists. This ability's success chance is dependent on the leader's Social stat, meaning that a charismatic leader can hold [[KangarooCourt Kangaroo Courts]] willy-nilly just to get rid of nuisances. Worse, one of the memes even allow your colonists to take ''satisfaction'' in the execution of the guilty, making this a viable stop-gap measure of keeping your colony happy. Even worse, there is actually a meme that ''requires'' you to do this from time to time to keep your colony happy without the leader needing to do anything except carry out the grisly duty. Depending on the player, it can be easy to prove Rousseau [[RousseauWasRight right]] or that he was [[RousseauWasWrong wrong]].

* ''Biotech'' adds the ability to make your own Mechanoids. In order to make them, you need Subcores to act as computer processors. The lowest tier can be made easily with steel and components. The Standard tier needs a humanoid brain to be scanned, which leaves the subject sickened but alive. The highest tier uses a device called the ''Ripscanner'', which kills the victim by frying their brain. This also implies that powerful, higher-end Mechanoids you fight were all created through the death of a living person.
** Speaking of mechanoids, the Apocriton leader mech deserves special mention. Its description explicitly mentions that it's one of the few mechs [[ItCanThink capable of higher thought]]. Despite this, it still unleashes utter carnage, using similar Mind Rape techniques as the psychic ships/drones as well as a poison-tipped needle gun. In other words, the Apocritons are one of the few AIs in fiction whose actions against humanity are guided by ''[[ForTheEvulz pure malice]]''.
