📢 Version v0.3.2 - RimWorld 1.7.5005 fixed, update the game in place, Workshop in the app

RimDroid 0.3.2

⚠️ RimDroid is still in beta. Device compatibility and performance vary, especially with large colonies, DLC, and heavy mod lists.

RimDroid is made by one person in evenings and weekends. There are no ads and no paywall. If the launcher gave you a colony in your pocket, a coffee on Ko-Fi helps me keep going, so your phone gets fixed faster. Thank you!

🚑 RimWorld 1.7 build 5005

RimWorld 1.7 updated to build 5005 on the unstable branch, and that build closed right at startup on RimDroid. This release fixes it.

🆕 What's new

✅ Update the game without a new instance (RimWorld 1.7)

1.7 updates often. Now you don't need a new instance for every build: instance card → ⋮ → Update the game. Mods, saves and settings stay where they are. The previous build and a copy of your saves are kept, and Back to … on the same screen returns to them if the new build doesn't work for you.

✅ Steam Workshop inside the app

Side menu or bottom bar → Workshop: RimWorld's Workshop with Steam's own search and filters. Tap ↓ on any mod or collection, then Download. No Steam login needed.

✅ New main screen layout

• Bottom bar: Home, Game, Workshop, Import, Projects.
• Import / export in one screen: pick the instance once, then saves, mods, game settings and on-screen controls, each with Import and Export. Exported mods are one zip that installs whole on another phone.
• Projects: my other launchers and games.

✅ Mods

• Copy mods to another instance (Mods screen → copy button): pick the mods with checkboxes, and optionally switch on the same mods in the same order there.
• Install several mod zips at once. Thanks to apomelov for this one!
• Sort now also uses the load-order rules players collected for mods that don't declare their own (RimSort's Community Rules Database).

✅ Report a bug

One screen now: choose the game, then Send by email. Only mail apps are listed. No mail app on your device? Save report to a file and send it from anywhere.

🛠 Also fixed

• Vanilla Factions Expanded – Deserters loads on RimWorld 1.7.
• On RimWorld 1.7, the game no longer closes at start when the phone's sound isn't ready yet.
• The custom driver screen now says where the driver is used: RimWorld 1.5 and 1.6 on the emulated engines. The native engine and 1.7 always use the phone's own driver.

⚠️ Known issues on RimWorld 1.7

• Adaptive Storage Framework doesn't work yet.
• Vehicle Framework isn't updated for 1.7 by its author yet, so vehicles don't move. It works on 1.6.
• Prepatcher features aren't available. Mods that need them may not work fully.
• 1.7 is still a test version from Ludeon, so a new build can break things again.

Before updating, back up your saves: bottom bar → Import → Saves → Export.

⚠️ Reminder
Rimdroid is only a launcher.
To run the game, you still need the actual game files (Linux version), which you must obtain yourself - for example, by purchasing the game on Steam/GOG.
