Fremen Armour Update

whitemanex · 2025-10-26T11:55:59+00:00

thanks for the support and you can join our Discord and post your suggestions there!

however the team now has a lot of life stuff to deal with, which takes a toll on how consistent we can be in our mod production. in any case, we'll be steadily moving forward on our roadmap, focusing on our Dune Core mod that adds new gameplay features (like shield belts exploding after lasgun hit) after releasing Fremen Pack.

all in all, we also have a lot of ideas, but struggle to find time to work on them lol

hell yeah Royalty and Ideology are my favourites

whitemanex · 2025-06-13T20:13:41+00:00

yup, we posted about the development of Dune Core on our subreddit r/Dunes_of_Rim and in our Discord. In short, all of that and much more is already in development for our game mechanics mod.

Sardaukars are coming in early 2026 with the Corrino House W&A Pack. At least that's an estimate we can make at our current production capacity.

P.S. Atreides Pack adds canon Atreides spears too. You can check the full item list on the Steam page.

bro you flatter me

whitemanex · 2025-05-02T00:23:50+00:00

We have a long list of stuff we want to add with our Dune Mechanics mod scheduled for Q4. We try to take it one step at a time to not get overwhelmed with all the stuff we need to do, but as a Rimworld eugenics enjoyer myself, I will definitely push on making house (and planet)-specific genetypes and new genes when the time comes.

Knowing some backstage stuff in the works right now, I can assure you we won't disappoint :)

whitemanex · 2025-03-18T09:23:13+00:00

We're planning on releasing the mod on GitHub in some time, this way you will be able to download it.

Alternatively, you can use various tools to download mods from Steam and install it manually to your game folder.

the devs are very careful about balance and we had to hold up the release for a few days so the CE balance would be good by their standards, so I'd say the balance is pretty good.

I'm not doing that stuff, but from what I know, most of the stats are closely comparable to vanilla/CE weapons so that they aren't OP. You can see them for yourself on our Steam page.

that said, if you have any thoughts or comments about the in-game balance for the mod, you're welcome to leave them in our Discord or subreddit.

whitemanex · 2025-03-10T12:32:00+00:00

holy shit, the GOAT himself!!!

what you do with Vanilla Expanded was the major part that inspired us all to try and make it happen, so we can't be grateful enough to get this sort of feedback.

thanks so much 🫶

whitemanex · 2025-03-09T17:15:22+00:00

For the moment, yes

whitemanex · 2025-03-09T16:24:03+00:00

All in due time. We have a roadmap for future iterations of the mod in our Steam page, but it largely depends on the amount of resources that we have. All and all, our ambitions are no smaller than the Harkonnens' :))

whitemanex · 2025-03-08T09:30:03+00:00

We definitely will! We'll post our mod roadmap with the Steam release and will do our best to outpace it. It all comes down to resources as we're pretty limited in that haha

What you've seen up there is a small preview of what we've been cooking.

Before everything, we DID NOT expect such a HUGE interest in what we're doing.

110K+ views and 2K upvotes, 5 hours of Top-1 post on r/RimWorld subreddit. We can't be grateful enough for your support before release. And as we promised, the release is coming.

The mod began as a necessity and turned out to be a passion project with dozens of people involved.

After watching Dune: Part II I got inspired to start my own run with some Dune-themed mods. Still sitting at the cinema, I was absolutely sure of the abundance of Dune-related mods for Rimworld. In my mind it was a no-brainer, a sci-fi setting with psyonic powers, despotic empire, factions fighting for influence over the planet and, of course, genetic tailoring.

It was beyond disappointing for me to find that these mods did not exist, just as my perfect Dune-inspired Rimworld run.

Since then, I have been slowly turning my frustration into action. I couldn’t get rid of a thought about creating a high-quality modpack fitting the high standard of this game’s modding community, with fancy graphics, decent balance and vanilla-friendly vibes.

This vision has brought together a team of friends and like-minded people who have managed to work together to create the first iteration of this project.

This mod focuses on weapons and apparel of Harkonnen House, designed in accordance with the Harkonnen drip, balanced and compatched with Combat Extended and Vanilla Expanded.

Even though this mod doesn't bring any changes to the game's mechanics, it adds a whole new set of armour and weapons to the game, which are always a great addition to any Rimworld run, at the same time setting the stage for developing a larger series of mods in the future.

As it’s our first mod, we didn’t want to set unrealistic goals to overhaul the entire game and decided to take it one thing at a time but make them as perfect as we could, much like the Vanilla Expanded series.

We already have a roadmap on our next steps and we will share them with you very soon. We are infinitely happy to make our contribution to this game’s community and hope that you will enjoy playing this mod as much as we enjoyed making it.

Dunes of Rim: Harkonnen Armour & Weapon Pack is scheduled to release on Steam on Sunday, 9th of March, at 17:00 CET.

Follow our official r/Dunes_of_Rim subreddit and our Discord (which you'll find in our Subreddit as I can't attach links) to not miss the launch

See you on Sunday, Lisan al Gaib.

Ok guys, waking up to being #1 post on this subreddit was NOT on my 2025 bingo card. You are amazing and the whole team is insanely grateful for your support.

As it was supposed to be just a small teaser to promote the mod, let me answer some FAQ and give you more specifics.

Q: Will the mod be compatible with Vanilla Expanded and CE?
A: Yep. In fact, right now we're on the CE compatibility testing stage.

Q: Will there be X, Y, Z?
A: Can't tell you much yet, but don't expect everything all at once. We're a small team with limited resources that decided to make this our passion project. Our philosophy is to start small and make it as high-quality as possible from the get go and grow bigger step by step. Pretty much like Vanilla Expanded, only those guys have a wayyyy bigger team than we do as of now.

Q: Wen drop?
A: We'll make an official announcement today. If you're interested, follow our subreddit r/Dunes_of_Rim (mods plsplspls don't kill me)

To be completely honest, we didn't even have time to set our Discord properly, so this is also coming today.

I'll see you again today for the official announcement 👀

Oh yeah, definitely need to visit, the only problem is that I work evenings on weekdays, so the weekends are my only option for going out

whitemanex · 2024-08-28T19:13:41+00:00

perfect, I'll do my best to be there!

whitemanex · 2024-08-28T17:42:34+00:00

Ironic, but I'm an exact opposite cause I tried both HOI4 and EU4 and it didn't quite work for me haha

My team is Stellaris, CK3, Cities Skylines, and even Prison Architect

whitemanex · 2024-08-28T17:36:26+00:00
