Mod Release [Mod Release: Conjoined Twins
I made a new RimWorld mod: Conjoined Twins. It adds rare pawns with two distinct twins sharing one body, each with their own traits, skills, appearance, ideology, opinions, and social identity. You can switch body control between them, they can socialize independently, wear separate headgear, use Facial Animation, appear naturally in-game, and even undergo a risky separation surgery.

Do they give more meat and leather vs a single person?
138
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
No but cool idea, i will add it to my todo list

u/roguebananah uranium 18d ago
Is there a surgery we could do to split them in half?
Either put bionic limbs or stitch them up with half another pawn?
37
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
yes there is a surgery to split them
46
32
u/dark0n33 18d ago
stitch them up with half another pawn
Easy there Frankenstein, we are here to do slavery and war crimes not horrors beyond human comprehension

u/roguebananah uranium 18d ago
Exactly. Then one day they wake up they’re one of the pawns, the next day they wake up the next.
50/50 chance if you’re getting your planter or your researcher tomorrow

Can they socialize with eachother?
42
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
Yes
29
u/Chiatroll Shambler 18d ago
Can they go on insulting sprees during a break at each other?
37
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
They go mental breakdown together, but socialize speratly

u/thexcat 18d ago
I was gonna ask if they could be different sexes and then I was like 🤔 and google says that's not a thing. Why would I think it's a thing? It's one egg that didn't seperate fully, they'd be identical twins anyways right? What a silly guy I am
15
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
dont worry this is a game, and it can be whatever you like, if enouh people is interested i can add M-F twins in the future

u/Admiralthrawnbar Save Scummer and Proud 17d ago
How would that even work? From what I remember gender only effects 3 things, opinion maluses from misogynistic/misandristic traits, generated relationships (1 mother, 1 father per pawn, etc.) and, with biotech, pregnancy. The first two are find and wouldn't really matter, but the latter could be problematic.

u/No_Abroad8805 space dorf 18d ago
can one die and the other live?
15
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
Yes

u/Much-Stranger2892 18d ago
Then do the observe corpse debuff apply and if the dead head gonna rot or not ?
3
u/kidcool97 18d ago
Then if they hate each other an extreme break should have like a social fight where one can die
Like one of those punch a warhead level of break

Someone should make Zaphod Beeblebrox

u/Cassuis3927 18d ago
I mean, between this mod and one of the implants mods that allows extra arms you pretty much can do that.

u/DeathrayToaster jade 17d ago
Japan did some not so fun human experiments on twins during WW2. Unit 731.

u/SheogorathMyBeloved 17d ago
Presuming they meant Ryomen Sukuna (the mythological one from the Nihon Shoki, not the one from Jujutsu Kaisen)

u/SadSaltyDuck 18d ago
Very interesting idea and mechanics, but just why...

u/valerielynx 18d ago
It is hella cool to be fair. We already have lots of mutations so why the hell not.

u/theTiome 18d ago
Extra skulls for the spikes
2
u/PeachyBaleen 18d ago
My brain went ‘skulls for the skull throne!’ And now I need to see if there are any Warhammer 40K mods

u/FacelessFlesh 18d ago
It's a condition some people have! Why not try and give those people a little representation? Besides, it's a free mod. It's not like you have to use it if you don't want to.

u/FamiliarMGP 18d ago
Ok, so there is a separation surgery, but can you "create" them intentionally?
6
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
in the future, i need to figure out how to make the surgery itself, i dont know how to do 2 people surger tbh so i add it to my todo list
2
u/SnooDrawings6192 18d ago
Maybe an operation to take a head of one pawn and put it onto another pawn's body would work?
7
u/TheTeleporteBread 18d ago
Op PLEASE make it a gene or something and give option for 3 heads because this would go incredibly hard with making heavy genetic creatures/ Cerberus

u/HellCanWaitForMe 18d ago
What happens if they don't like each other? How do they work on stuff?
2
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
they go mental breakdown together, and only active pawns work priority will be followed, if both can do the job pawn with better skill will be counted
6
u/Dooglaer 18d ago
This looks dope! I’d be very interested in how the romantic mechanics would work. Maybe include a 3 wide bed that way each side could have a lover to satisfy the sleeping in bed need.
6
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
i try to make each twin having their own relationship but it caused so many bugs so i reduce it to both pawns be in relationshop, for example if another pawns fall in love it will be with both of them
7
u/TonytehGreat 18d ago
Now where is the option to manually conjoin two separate pawns into one of these?

u/RespondBorn6248 18d ago
can one die and be replaced by the other? is that a moodlet "the other part of me is dead" -20 permanent
2
2
u/GrimtyGranule 18d ago
would make sense for hadshots to only kill one of them. but the living one would still be at risk of bloodloss.
5
u/Excalibro_MasterRace Fleeing in panic 18d ago
So you can ripscan them two times?
Also very interesting mod

u/MrMortyRickSummer 18d ago
What about having two heads of differing genders on one body?
12
11
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
currently its only F-F or M-M.
0
u/MrMortyRickSummer 18d ago
Fair enough, hope it does come in an update one day!
12
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
i will add surgery to create "conjoined twins" maybe with that i can change it to be M-F in the future

u/janikFIGHT 18d ago

u/TheClinicallyInsane Raw Cannibalism +20 18d ago
Colony where people join separate and are encouraged to fall in love and find partners. Upon which they undergo the "marriage ceremony" where they're conjoined together and the whole colony watches. Conjoined Veneration. Dislikes separated colonists. Shunned for remaining unconjoined. +50 Conjoined with my lover. Manipulation buff.
Oh God I see it now 🤩

u/MrMortyRickSummer 18d ago
Have a none 0% chance if the two pawns that are conjoined go berserk and attack each other if their relation is too negative before hand, and try to tear themselves apart

u/PivSov Plague (Extreme): 100% 🔴 - Inmunity: 99% 18d ago
What if one has a mental breakdown?, would they begin beating the shit out of the twin (their own body), what if they have a murderous rage targetting the twin?...
And how does a killing headshot on one of the twins work, would the remaining one be left with major bleeding, could it kind of be used as an extreme "separation" method?
1
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
they both go mental breakdown together.
and they both have separate head and neck body parts, if one dies other can survive. also there is an option to separate them.

u/Kyubi_Hitashi Collected Some "Enemy Donations" +30 18d ago
i apologize for this comment in advance...
One colonist for you, one for m-
oh god i think they died

If one of them gets a headshot and lose the head, does it affect the sprite?

u/Xylkez insectoid 18d ago
can we get a surgery to conjoin two pawns?
1
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
yes its in my todo list, but i need to figure out how can i make 2 person surgery

u/Sea-Offer7021 18d ago
Awesome mod idea, how does this work with xenotypes that changes the body? Was thinking what would happen if someone made an ogre mod and you they had conjoined twins head. Additionally if it hasnt been made, you could make an ogre mod with the twin heads!
2
u/StubbiestZebra 18d ago
Yeah, I hope they respond to you cause that was my thought. Ettins from DND have two heads. Or it would be cool for an alien xenotype where it's normal
1
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
both twins will have 1 xenotype across body
1
2
u/michiru34 18d ago
ok, so can I cosplay somebody who's named Doctor Mangler to make conjoined twins by myself?
2
u/Majestic-Iron7046 Genderbent Randy +30 18d ago
So, i am trying your mod and it's already hilarious, my first contact with a conjoined twin is this shuttle incident, the guy is a Highmate and it's hilarious to think of the possibilites... but he is unwavering loyal and currently in a prisoner bed because of it, so i gotta ask:
If i was to separate them, would they retain the unwavering loyal status?
Is there a way to cycle between the two people while they are not colonists?
3
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
>If i was to separate them, would they retain the unwavering loyal status?
tbh i have no idea, never test it before but it should retain it, i think.
there should be a gizmo that switches between them when pawn is selected1
u/Majestic-Iron7046 Genderbent Randy +30 18d ago
Thank you very much, i made the pawn a slave and the button to switch appeared, so it just doesn't work on prisoners.
Also, i am having so much fun with this, it took me a while to understand why my slave wore two slave collars, it was hilarious when i remembered why.
Thank you so much for the mod!Next on the list: "What if i ghoulify him?"
SCIENCE AWAITS!

u/Select-Chemist-2828 17d ago
Let's discuss something extremely important about this mod. You have one of them one head is gay the other one isn't.

u/YinuS_WinneR 18d ago
Do they experience health problems?
1
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
they share whole body except neck and head
1
u/YinuS_WinneR 18d ago
No i mean do they experience health problems for being like this. Like do they develop organ failure after having their hearth overwork to supply 2 heads?

u/romdiggity 18d ago
Curious how it might work with Perspective Shift, if it switches between them while directly controlling
1
u/angel20015 18d ago
This opens up possibilities for new and interesting methods of torture, like in that series or movie where one of the conjoined twins is poisoned and the other survives.
1
u/theveezer 18d ago
It's a bit like the mod about mental illness, inspired by the movie Split. Pawns can have multiple personalities, lose some, and gain others.
1
u/angel20015 18d ago
And how does it affect xenotypes? Can I have a half-husar, half-eruditus?

What the hell... Ohhhh, get in the modlist, I'll find a way to integrate you into my tribal setting

u/naaawww 18d ago
What happens when one twin goes into a murderous rage to kill the other twin? Do twins that fall in love only need one bed or two? How does get-some loving’ work? Family trees?
1
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
they go mental breakdown together,
they need 1 bed as normal
loving is same,

u/croctheterrible2 Laus Colony, RW 99909 18d ago
Wow this is actually super inclusive!! In an odd and roundabout way, this may be one of the few positive representations of a super small group of people!!! I’m kinda happy to see this!

Ngl when this popped up on my feed I only saw the very top portion of the video (the heads) and got mildly concerned lmao

u/casian1902 18d ago
What happens when you turn one into a vampire, do both become vampires?
How does the gene extractor gene regrowing cooldown work? Do both have the exact same timer?

u/MathematicianLarge48 18d ago
I got a question: can you, like, "create" one of those during a play-through?...
2
u/TyphoonOfEast 18d ago
not currently, they can be found naturally, including at birth. but in the future i will make a building to "create" them from 2 pawns

u/Glittering-Slip2879 17d ago
I was about to ask the same question lol, I feel like you could do some really funky stuff with mechanitors or psycasters with this
1
u/Lost-on-Reception 18d ago
Do you have to replace all their left or right organs if you separate them? Can one of them use the heat dump psycast on the other?

u/Majestic-Iron7046 Genderbent Randy +30 18d ago
Let me say I really appreciate how in depth you went in the comments to explain the mod features, I am also very happy to know you are even planning to improve it, this might be a stable addition to my modlist.

u/echtesMind 18d ago
Are they just random pwns that will spawn? Or is there a chance to have conjoined twins as babies through a normal pregnancy?
1
1
u/ArianeEvangelina 17d ago
This is so cool and reminds me of a conceptual draconic species I had pictured for Rimworld a while ago. They were a little inspired by hydras and had two heads and separate stats like this
1
u/ALXS1031 17d ago
This is awesome! I’ll make sure to add it to my play-trough!
Since switching is done manually and not automatically, idk how useful it’ll be
I’ll probably just end up making one of them the colonist’s shooting specialist, since that makes them unable to do any work, which isn’t a downside if the other twin does all the work
Would be cool if they auto swapped based on what they were doing (for example, if you are cooking, the cooking 15 twin will cook, instead of the currently active cooking 3 twin) but I imagine that would be too hard

u/Glittering-Slip2879 17d ago
How does this work for psycasters? When they meditate do they both gain psyfocus?

I havet try but i guess so yes, they have separate brains

u/Hadochiel 18d ago
How does it handle job assignments? Let's say one is assigned to cooking, and one is assigned to building ; do they take turns in moving to their jobs? Or is the switch giving priority to one of them until you switch them back?
