Legacy

---

Legacy is a RimWorld storytelling framework for pawn life events with lasting consequences.

 

Instead of replacing RimWorld's mood, memory, opinion, or relationship systems, Legacy watches meaningful events and preserves them as long-term history. Those records can later shape reputation, relationship states, debug-visible pawn histories, and optional consequence events.

 

## Features

 

- Persistent pawn legacy records for defining moments.

- Relationship history screens for recorded pawn interactions.

- Hero and nemesis states based on accumulated Legacy impact.

- Optional consequence events for major legacy relationships.

- Debug tools for reviewing records and assigning reputational titles.

- Deduplication and pawn eligibility checks to avoid repeated records and dead-pawn noise.

- A public C# API for other modders to record and query Legacy events.

 

## Recorded Event Areas

 

Legacy currently tracks or supports records for events such as:

 

- Thought impacts

- Captivity and prisoner release

- Violence and combat attribution

- Surgery and medical harm/help

- Slavery and rescue events

- Relationship-changing moments

- Colony-level story events

- Optional modded magic events

 

## Optional Integrations

 

Legacy is designed to work without hard dependencies on optional mods.

 

- **Karma & Reputation** can inform Legacy relationship states when enabled.

- **Psychology**, vanilla traits, Ideology, and compatible trait mods can shape how pawns interpret events.

- **A RimWorld of Magic** is detected automatically when loaded. Pawns can remember witnessed magic, blood magic, and necromancy, including labels such as `Blood mage` and `Necromancer`.

 

These integrations are optional. Legacy should load and run with Harmony alone.
