I noticed that when you picked up an item for the first time, it would show you the item's graphic and give you a description. It was a simple touch, but made the feeling of discovery feel more important and give you a chance to understand the thing you are newly interacting with.\r\nSo I thought to myself, why not bring it to Rimworld?\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Ffernyrepos\u002FDiscoveries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fi.imgur.com\u002F6wRQR0a.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\u003C\u002Fa>\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2>Firstly, and optionally, this is a flavor mod\u003C\u002Fh2>\r\nWhen you click on anything for the first time, whether it be\r\n- A new xenotype\r\n- A new building\r\n- A new type of creature\r\n- A new faction\r\n\r\nYou will receive a popup detailing your discovery. You can see the graphic, read the description, and in the case of xenotypes view their genes. All within the span of a few seconds, the moment of discovery feels more impactful.\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2>Secondly, and optionally, this is a research overhaul\u003C\u002Fh2>\r\nHow could one take this concept further?\r\n\r\nLet's first identify some current thorns with research.\r\n- With such a large research tree, especially when using many mods, it is easy to plow through research without getting a chance to fully utilize each step you could potentially be engaging with. Perhaps you should only unlock the upgrades to something once you've mastered building their original versions.\r\n- Users of mods like Semi Random Research: Progression Fork know the pain of having to research things they aren't too interested in. You can be flooded with projects like \"additional stew types\" and not know why the game thinks you're so interested in all of that. What if there was a way to tell the game what you are interested in?\r\n\r\nIn comes the solution. \r\n\r\n\u003Ch2>Discovery-locked research projects\u003C\u002Fh2>\r\nDiscovery of aspects of your world can now lock access to research. Do you remember Anomaly's unlock system, where projects are given to you once you discover the relevant entity? Think that, but applied globally. Here are some examples from the base game.\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fsteamcommunity.com\u002Fworkshop\u002Ffiledetails\u002Fdiscussion\u002F3655992052\u002F572668858640534520\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fi.imgur.com\u002FZhuygY9.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\u003C\u002Fa>\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2>Many more patches on the way!\u003C\u002Fh2>\r\n\r\nThis is just the start.
