RimTalks AI ChatBot Mod

Finally, your silent pawns will speak! RimTalks adds realistic AI-driven dialogues between colonists using Gemini AI + Ollama (Primary and backup chatbot servers).

RimTalks AI ChatBot Mod features

• Authentic conversations based on pawn traits.
• Random chats while working (20% chance). Pawns even talk to themselves!
• Start a dialogue manually by selecting a pawn.
• Witty (and sometimes foul-mouthed xD) responses.
• HYBRID SETUP! The mod uses the free Gemini AI (uncensored), but if you hit the daily request limit (60/day), it automatically switches to a local Ollama server (offline mode). If you pay for Google AI, the local server is optional.

How to install

1. Download the latest mod version and place the folder in RimWorld/Mods/
2. Get a free Google AI API key here.  Click on Create Credentials > API Key.
3. Paste your key into API_GEMINIFLASH_KEY.txt in the mod’s root folder.
4. For offline use (Ollama setup):
   1. Install Ollama.
   2. A Llama icon will appear on your desktop—launch it. This is your server shortcut. It runs silently in the background (check the Windows tray near the clock).
   3. Always launch it before playing (or add it to startup).
   4. Open Command Prompt (cmd) and run: ollama pull gemma3:4b
   5. After the model downloads, run the command ollama pull gemma3:4b again (sometimes it fails on the first try).

THAT’S IT! Launch RimWorld and play. A new “Talk” button will appear when selecting a pawn—choose who to address.

PS: Don’t forget to launch the Ollama Server if you’re not paying for Google AI. Otherwise, pawns will stop responding after hitting the daily request limit.
