Description


Ever wanted a secret place that was only for you? What if you could carry it around in your pocket to pull out and climb in whenever you want?

Pocket Dimensions is a mod for Rimworld that allows you to create a map contained inside a box that you can carry around and place wherever you like.



Features


Configurable size
- After building the dimensional containment box, the size of the resulting map can be configured. The pocket dimension will need to be supplied with energy and advanced components to be created.
Minifiable
- Uninstall and reinstall the box wherever you like. The map will remain available as long as the box is not stolen, traded away or abandoned.
Energy sharing
- Battery power inside the box is available to the connected network on the outside, and vice versa.
Manual and automatic loading/unloading
- The box can be loaded or unloaded with specific items or pawns using the same interface as transporters and caravans. Also, a dimensional containment hopper can be attached to the box. The hopper can be used like a shelf, with any item placed on it going directly into or out of the box.
Stuffable!
- Make the box out of earwax if you want!
Other notable details
- The box has a vent that you can turn on or off, allowing temperature to equalize between the inside and outside.
- If the box is installed in a temporary map, such as that of a mission or a camp from [SYR] Set Up Camp. The map will stay available as long as a non-downed colonist is in the box.
- Renamable. In case you build too many and can't remember which is which.


Potential Uses


  • Mobile base
  • Human resource refrigerator
  • Battery to power your car
  • Oubliette
  • Prison for captured ghosts
  • Secret hand-holding dungeon
  • Whatever the heck you want!


Patches for Other Mods


A Rimworld of Magic - if you have RoM, a magic version of the pocket dimension will be available. "Ye olde pocket dimension" requires magicyte instead of advanced components to build and initialize, requires no electricity and does not provide battery power sharing, and it requires Rimworld of Magic "Portal" research to build.

Notes:
1. I haven't played with Rimworld of Magic much so the amount of magicyte required to build and initialize the pocket dimension might be way off. I just compared the market value of advanced components and magicyte. So if it seems like too much/little, please let me know and make a suggestion on a better ratio.


Potential Issues and Conflicts


Z-Levels - reportedly incompatible
Dub's Bad Hygiene - error when placing hygiene objects inside pocket dimension reported. Seems to be harmless.


FAQ


Q: I can't create a pocket dimension because the "Create Pocket Dimension" button is greyed out!
A: Make sure the box is fully fueled with advanced components, is connected to a power grid, and that the grid has enough BATTERY POWER available. It will not pull excess power from the grid, only directly from batteries.

Q: Where do I find the pocket dimension box in the Architect menu?
A: In the misc tab. You must complete the research first as well. The research is in the "Dimensional Manipulation" tab.

Q: Do items in the pocket dimension count toward colony wealth?
A: Yes, though a bit indirectly. They are not counted directly toward colony wealth, but they are counted toward the value of the box they are in.

Q: Do pawns automatically go in/out of the pocket dimension?
A: No they do not. You can either load it like a shuttle, or select a pawn and right click the entrance/exit to send them through. Pathing through naturally would be a massive task I don't plan to get into anytime soon for this mod.

Cuz there is no License i think we can say that no one will pick it up, and since Captain is inactive i m afraid that this mod is dead for good.
