When you arrange them in order of release, they spell out "R.O.Y.G.B.I.V," which is an acronym for the colors of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. This was a deliberate choice by the developers to create a mnemonic device to remember the order of the colors in a rainbow. Here's the breakdown:

R: RimWorld Base Game
O: RimWorld: Royalty
Y: RimWorld: Ideology
G: RimWorld: Royalty (added content)
B: RimWorld: Ideology (added content)
I: RimWorld: Ideology (another added content)
V: RimWorld: Royalty (another added content)

How would you rank the current expansions? I personally like Ydeology the most, Ydeoligions are super immersing!

Ooyalty is awesome too, psycasts are badass! I also like the expanding permits and titles you get from joining the imperial ooyalty.

I don't know, I think Voyalty : Ooyalty with a Vengeance was the best implementation of the Ooyals.

You know what they say, third time's the charm.

Teach me your ways, ChatGPT, you who are so wise in the art of acronyms.

Also, stellar roadmap there. I can't wait for LLM to replace game designers, the future is bright.

Also also, fun fact : Kirby's Adventure did ROYGBIV (or rather, VIBGYOR) 30 years ago. They're the world initials.
