Once the mining is done, I can simply go to ‘CLEAR ALLOWED ZONE’ and clear that spot. For example, if I want someone to be able to go out and mine a specific area, I can add that to the WORK zone, then restrict the people I want to be able to go out and mine there. Basically, I start with a similar layout to the ‘inside the walls’ zone and then add any areas, temporary or otherwise, I want people to work at. This is one I like to do in order to stop my colonists from running all over the map. This can be used to pull everything inside as soon as you see an alert for a raid or to wait out angry animals, etc. Inside the walls is a defensive zone setup in order to quickly recall all of your colonist and pets to the safety of your most defensible area.
This is one of the first zones I make, and definitely sees use in every playthrough. Some people use only a couple while others may utilize dozens. Now, there are tons of things you can do with zones. However, colonist WILL be able to travel to any spaces you have set allowances to. You also won’t be able to force a job to be done in an area that that colonist is restricted from if they’re not drafted. It is important to note, that if you restrict someone to a zone while they are doing any kind of labor, such as HAULING a stone or item, they will immediately drop what they are doing to head to the zone. Once you have restricted someone to a zone, they will NOT leave the zone unless you draft them and manually move them out of it OR they have a break down which makes them wonder out of the zone. Now, my animal tab will look slightly different due to a mod, but the zone part is the same. If you want all colonists in a zone, you can always just hold down your left mouse button and drag the cursor down from the selection.įor animals, you’ll go to the animal tab and do the same thing. To restrict colonists, click restrict at the bottom and choose the zone you want the colonist to be set to. So the next thing I want to talk about, is how you actually restrict people or pets to these zones and what that means once you’ve done so. Remember, the color overlay is where they CAN go, anything not highlighted, will be forbidden. Once you’ve selected the zone, you can drag the color over any area you want colonists and pets restricted to if they are set to that area. Once a zone has been created, you can then go to the ‘Expand Allowed Areas’ menu again, but instead of clicking ‘Manage Areas’, you will click the zone you want to place. You can then click ‘rename’ to name the zone whatever you would like, click invert to invert the entire zone (we’ll talk more about that in a minute), or click the red X to delete the zone.
A new area will then appear in the list with a default name and a random color. To make a new zone, just click ‘New Area’. Once in this menu, you will see all the current zones you have made. Go to EXPAND ALLOWED AREA then click MANAGE AREAS This can be important for many things, namely, though, to keep your people safe and/or happy.įirst, Click on Architect then click Zone in the top right.
In RimWorld, a zone is a player created section of the map in which you can choose to restrict colonists or pets. These are different than stockpile and dumping zones, which I will do another video on sometime. So, in this video we’re specifically talking about allowed area zones. A lot of people stopping by the stream recently have been asking me to talk a bit about zones, their importance, how they work, and what sort of zones you should make. Hey everyone, Adam here with another RimWorld guide.
