Ludeon Studios has released RimWorld update 1.6.4543, delivering several important fixes and a new feature for players who have completed Odyssey’s storyline. The highlight of this patch is the addition of a new epic song that now plays during Odyssey’s ending, enhancing the narrative experience.
In addition, the update resolves multiple gameplay issues, including a bug where quest shuttles attempted to land on water and teleported into player bases, causing destruction.
