Operable Roof Mod

Author of the Operable Roof Mod: mlie

Operable Roof Mod adds retractable and controllable roofs to RimWorld, letting you open or close ceilings using advanced technology. This is an update of DRILLED_HEAD’s original mod and greatly expands functionality, automation, and customization options.

Operable Roof Features

  • Adds buildable operable roofs for each vanilla roof type with balanced stats.
  • Adds a special buildable roof that uses the ship roof from Save Our Ship 2 when loaded.
  • Pillars control roof sections, allowing opening and closing of large ceiling areas.
  • Controllers show indicators for which roofs are connected.
  • Selected roofs display a roof-size indicator.
  • Configurable roof size per roof pillar.
  • Optional automation to open and close roofs based on time of day.
  • Optional automation to open and close roofs based on temperature.

Gameplay overview

You can create secret bases, indoor hangars, or mountain facilities with roofs that open and close on demand. Roof pillars control areas up to 10×10 by default, and additional control tables allow managing areas up to 30×30. Costs are high, but fit advanced, spacer-level technology.

Additional notes

  • Roof types can be changed manually by editing Roofs.xml in the mod’s Defs folder.
  • This is the author’s first original RimWorld mod; balance quirks or bugs may exist.
  • Feedback and bug reports are encouraged.
