Mod «The Corporation - Mort's Factions» for Rimworld (v1.4 - 1.5)

Towering above the Urbworld megacities are the Executive Spires - lavish office superstructures where the rich and powerful of the corporate world wheel and deal. In one of these monuments to The Corporation, a Director has just signed an order that will shape the next century of their entire Subsidiary's business strategy. The Director has set their sights on The Rim.

Introducing The Corporation! This is a faction mod adding an Urbworld-themed corporate faction. The Corporation has access to advanced Spacer technology, including mechanitor tech, which they use to field war mechs alongside their bionically-augmented soldiers. The Corporation typically uses tried-and-true mech designs in combat, such as Scythers, Lancers, and Pikemen, along with the occasional Legionary for support.

Titles

Climb the corporate ladder with a suite of all-new corporate titles, from mere interns and employees to powerful executives. Becoming an Intern, Part-Time Employee, or a Full-Time Employee is easy, allowing you to fill your colony with them, but the real money gets made by the Executives.

Permits

Corporate titles give access to new permits. Each rank gets access to an increasingly lucrative version of the Silver drop permit - Part-Time Employees will get only a pittance of silver, but a Regional Executive will be making thousands of silver per year. If you want more direct support from the Corp, you can forgo your raise and instead spend your permit points on various defensive permits, such as support from corporate soldiers, corporate mechanoids, or shrapnel bombardments. High-ranking pawns in the Corporation also get access to the coveted Corporate Mech Supplier orbital trade ship, which has rare mechanitor supplies for sale.

Caravans

In addition to the Mech Supplier ship, the Corporation is an excellent trade partner for any goods you might need. The Corporation is always happy to trade - besides the Mech Supplier, corporate caravans, bases, and ships can all be traded with freely, even without a title. The Corporation's traders have double the goods and silver supplies of a typical trader, making them one of the best options in the game for commerce.

Paperwork

Need some cash to pay for all those shiny goods? Make money by filling out paperwork! Paperwork is a new resources available in this mod: its raw form is Unfilled Paperwork, which a pawn can turn into Completed Paperwork at an Office Desk. What can you do with this paperwork, might you ask? Nothing! It's totally useless! However, the Corporation seems oddly obsessed with having the stuff filled out, and is willing to pay you to complete it. Any Corporate trader will purchase completed paperwork from you. Paperwork requires no skills to complete, and its raw form is available in essentially limitless quantities from an Intern permit, so it's way to turn even your most unskilled pawns into profitable employees. At the Corporation, silver is king, so you'll want to be putting everyone to work to make as much money as possible.

...Or you could just steal from the Corpos themselves.

The Cyber Punks

Fight against The Corporation alongside the Cyber Punks! The Cyber Punks are an eclectic bunch of hackers, body-modders, and rebels who use stolen mechtech to fight back against the corpos. The Cyber Punks sow chaos with whatever war mechs they can get their hands on, including militors, scorchers, tesserons, and even reprogrammed tunnelers. The Punks have a special version of the deserter quest from vanilla royalty - the site provided by the Punk you rescue gives access to valuable mechtech materials. This quest will repeatedly show up throughout the game so long as you aren't hostile with the Punks, tempting you into incurring the wrath of the Corpos. You may also get quests from the Punks to attack distant Corporate sites, or vice versa.

Endgame

This mod features a new path to escape the planet - by buying your way out. Amass a ludicrous amount of silver, bring it to the Corporation’s starship dealer, and you can buy a ship of your own to take you to the stars! If you can survive the startup sequence…

02.12.23 (1.4)

- Changed the Worktype of Filing Paperwork to be Crafting instead of Basic, due to many complaints. This means that pawns will file paperwork only when they have crafting enabled as a job and no other crafting tasks available to them. You may need to restrict certain other crafting bills or workstations to particular pawns or pawns of a particular skill level to ensure that your garbage-skilled paperwork drones are doing their TPS reports instead of slowly trying to smelt slag.
- Slightly altered the Corpo Wimp and Cyber Punk intro quests to be more similar to each other, lasting the same amount of time.
-The Corpo Wimp quest is also no longer considered a Charity quest for Ideology purposes. You're choosing whether to support a particular militarized faction by killing members of another one - that's a political decision, not a cut-and-dry act of generosity
- Added support for the VFE: Deserters and VFE: Tribals starting scenarios
