This mod adds a rather simple drow elf alien race to compliment the rest on the workshop, and to add more alien diversity into your Rimworld playthroughs!

The Basics

Included is the drow elf race, a start for them, their penal colony faction, and implementation of drow into random events such as the refugee escape pods. Besides this, there are no new custom items added and as such they should be able to spawn with most modded weapons and armours.

The drow themselves are loosely based on their fantasy equivalent and hail from a home world reminiscent of the fantasy Underdark. It’s cruel, dark and unforgiving, and many of the people ended up being shaped to be the same.

The Details

They’re far more likely to be abrasive, psychopathic, and bloodlustful (bloodlusty?). Though this isn’t to say kind and nice drow don’t exist, they are just rarer. Many of them also possess an unearthly, exotic beauty at the cost of all of them growing so accustumed to it they simply consider it normal. In addition, their smaller frames aren’t as well-suited to mining, or hauling, and can’t take as much of a hit. At the very least, they’re easier to keep fed, and are rather good researchers thanks to their unusual mental acuity. Living on harsher worlds they have also learned to get just that much extra out of their harvests, and they aren’t quite as vulnerable to toxic fallout either. They also have no issues seeing in darkness, and will never suffer penalties for it.

In addition, there are two unique traits that can appear amongst them. **Shoot to kill **and Gladiator, both as a direct result of the troubles on their homeworld. Whether it was the necessity to kill from a distance or the ability to stay alive in a melee fight. Those with **Shoot to kill **will aim for the killing shot every time, giving them a bonus to accuracy. Those with Gladiator on the other hand will be better at avoiding and delivering hits in melee. Some may come with a background in both.

Finally, there is the faction that you will encounter. It is a drow penal colony containing the exiles, criminals, failed political rivals, and just poor unlucky sods that angered the wrong person. They don’t start out friendly, but through enough effort they will be willing to trade arms and slaves.

Huge thanks to:
