To have archotech implants is to be follow in the footsteps of the Archotechs and brings them closer to that. In one of my colonies it's used as the belief that Archotechs were essentially a race that walked on a path that led them to Godhood. On the other hand it can be a core tenant of a belief system. On the one hand it can be used as a smaller facet of the colony's thinking where it's there to reflect that the people there are body-modders and just really want to tinker around with their bodies. So in my mind in Rimworld Trans-humanism fits into a couple of categories. What you think of is cyberpunk, a fundamentally dystopian vision, while transhumanism envisions a utopia. It's about improving and transcending the human species and body and not "add cool tech bro ♥♥♥♥". Originally posted by Dorsai!:I think having options is great and all, but I also feel like there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what transhumanism means among Rimworld players (and the broader public). There should be a different "waste not want not" type meme, like Sustainability or Frugal, for things like that. Similarly body composting or a return to nutrient paste, while a cool idea, is not necessarily transhumanist either. I'd personally be all for it (I have an organ donor's card), but that isn't a transhumanist viewpoint, but a humanist one and not a spiritual matter (e.g. To a transhumanist, "passing on" his prostethics would be as weird or not weird as donating natural organs. As a transhumanist I would even prefer biological enhancement to technological enhancement if it is equally as good or better. I see this misconception in the EPOE forked mod for example where "optimizer nanobots" make the body stronger but transhumanists (or "body modder" now *puke*) supposedly hate them because it's not mechanical. I think having options is great and all, but I also feel like there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what transhumanism means among Rimworld players (and the broader public). If the person is close enough to the dead to want to take a part, but there are no more bionic parts left for them to take (for example if they only had one or no bionics) then they should receive a mood debuff to represent being sad that they couldn't take a part of their loved one forward in their life They also shouldn't take any parts that aren't better than a part they already have (so no replacing an archotech arm with a bionic arm for example). This differs from the vanilla funeral as a way to remove the bionics of the dead and it's unique to trans-humanist cultures as it represents taking what made their loved ones lives better and bringing it into their own lives.įor balance I'm thinking that only people who have an opinion over a certain amount should be able to take a bionic part, and only one part per person. When the funeral is over, the slab should transform into a crytosleep-like casket for the dead as a futuristic sarcophagus. The body rests on a slab as one by one the spectators come to take an item (in order of how close they were to the dead if possible). Transhumanist BurialA burial for trans-humanist members whereby those close to them take the bionics of the dead out of the body, queuing up a medical surgery for it to be installed into them.
