RimWorld 3D&VR mod turns the colony sim into full 3D with VR support
Modder leopoko released RimWorld 3D&VR in the Steam Workshop on September 19, letting players switch the colony sim between a monitor view and a headset-enabled VR mode. The mod also adds SteamVR support and turns the game into a full 3D experience.
The project changes the game from a flat 2D plane into a 3D space, and players can rotate the camera freely at any angle. Pressing Backspace switches to a first-person view, after which you can move around the base with WASD like in a regular shooter.
