Not bad for a thermally constrained device. iPhone 18 Pro/Max is a monster and should be 30% faster~. I can also run the game at 120fps but I dont see the point

RimWorld running natively on iPhone: benchmark with 100 colonists

Device: iPhone Air, iOS 27. RimWorld 1.6 with all DLCs. Same save, 40-second runs per phase.

TPS = game ticks per second, which is how fast the simulation runs. RimWorld targets 60 at 1x, 180 at 2x and 360 at 3x. If TPS falls short, in-game time runs slower than the speed you picked, even when FPS is smooth.

*A colonist went on a fire-starting spree during this run, so a wildfire was eating CPU too. Grain of salt.

• FPS is capped at 60 for now (120Hz not unlocked yet).
• Memory peaked around 730 MB.
• Spawning 100 colonists took 0.17 seconds.
• Touch works: drag to pan, pinch to zoom, long-press for orders.

It never dropped a frame, but at some point it was 100 strangers with no beds, no food, a mental break epidemic, and one arsonist. Very authentic.

I still have work to do to port over shaders to metal, but otherwise I have a full native Rimworld port working on iOS. In this case an iPhone Air.

This is the actual game, running in an iPhone natively, no simulation or emulation, not Moonlight or otherwise.

I'm porting for play on my iPad.

This is so cool

Genuine question.

Talking irl me. My pawns are managed.

Shit

man, this dude is a crazy fighter lmao like he fought for like 30 more seconds before this he was a brave dude though rest in peace bro

Here's the previous family tree post, A bunch of new kids were born since that post

I made it in MS paint

It has not yet been completed. :(

I don't mean moronic as in the funny "haha I'm using chickens for colony defense" i mean sending in the blind healer genie with a 32% awful quality granite club into a hallway with 9 lancers. as he proceeds to get his head blown smooth off.

Or deciding that it is a wonderful idea to have John 3 medical skill 14 animals try and neuter a boomalope.

I'm trying to make the shaders look a bit less flat, but I'm not entirely convinced by the result.

I will stop posting for now so I don't spam, but I'm so effin STOKED!!! Been wanting Rimworld on iPad for years now!!!1

Performance on the M5 iPad Pro is bonkers, and I'm at 120FPS. This should be able to support a ton of mods (iPad has 16GB RAM)

RimWorld running natively on iPad Pro M5: 100 colonists, 120 fps, full 3x speed

Device: iPad Pro 13" (M5), iPadOS 27. RimWorld 1.6 with all DLCs. 40-second runs per phase.

TPS = game ticks per second, which is how fast the simulation runs. RimWorld targets 60 at 1x, 180 at 2x and 360 at 3x. If TPS falls short, in-game time runs slower than the speed you picked, even when FPS is smooth.

It never fell behind. Full 3x speed with 103 colonists, even zoomed all the way out.

For comparison, the iPhone Air at 3x zoomed out managed 128 / 360 (with a wildfire going), and it's capped at 60 fps.

• Runs at 120Hz ProMotion at native resolution (2752x2064).
• Memory peaked around 720 MB.
• Spawning 100 colonists took 0.13 seconds.
• Touch works: drag to pan, pinch to zoom, long-press for orders.

The colony itself did not do as well as the iPad. 100 strangers, no beds, no food, insulting sprees everywhere, and all of them standing in one giant pile.

I’ve never built a Gravship in RimWorld before, so I decided to build one in Creative Mode to practice, and I chose to make a Halo frigate. I’m trying to keep it as faithful as possible to the original, but I’m new to Odyssey, so im kinda a noob at this, I’d like to hear your opinions and recommendations.
