Expanded Roofing Mod

Expanded Roofing Mod adds advanced and customizable roofing options to RimWorld, including transparent greenhouse roofs and photovoltaic solar roofing, expanding both base-building and power generation possibilities.

Expanded Roofing Mod is an update and continuation of Why_is_that’s original mod, uploaded to Steam by CrunchyDuck from the GitHub repository, later updated through multiple RimWorld versions by several contributors. It is a direct port of AaronCRobinson’s GitHub version, based on Vendan’s original concept.

Expanded Roofing Mod Features

• Transparent roofs that allow almost all light to pass through.
• Solar roofing tiles paired with controllers to generate electricity.
• Removal and rework of thick roofs.
• Thick roofs that require periodic maintenance.
• Four new research projects, one for each major roofing feature.
• Settings automatically disabled when “Don’t Tempt Me!” is enabled.

Solar roofing and controllers

• Each solar roof controller has a maximum output of 2500W.
• Each solar roof tile produces 200W in full sunlight.
• There is no hard limit on the number of controllers connected to a roof section.
• A power bar on the controller shows current output and whether more controllers are needed.

Roof maintenance system

• Only thick roofs require maintenance.
• Maintenance checks occur every 2000 ticks.
• Maintenance becomes necessary after 5000 ticks (around 167 days).
• After 7500 ticks, collapses may occur via MTB events (around 250 days).
• The collapse MTB event is set to 3.5 days.
• All values are subject to future balance changes.

Compatibility notes

• Compatible with existing B19 saves as long as no other roofing mods are installed.
• Recommended to load this mod early in the mod load order.
• New roof designators are located in the Zone tab.
• Due to how roofing works internally, rezoning existing roofs is the easiest way to convert them.

• English.
• Turkish (Slevilex).
• Russian (Garr Incorporated, updated by lex1975).
• French (Jozay).
