RimWorld: Console Edition Update 1.21 Now Lets Players Choose How They Want to Play with Custom Scenarios

Update 1.21 for RimWorld: Console Edition is a fun one because it introduced a new game mode that lets players customize situations to their liking.

The new game mode in question is called Custom Scenarios where players can choose a preset scenario and adjust certain settings based on their preferences. For example, they can have their colonists start with a health condition if they want to have a challenging experience right off the bat.

RimWorld: Console Edition Update 1.21 implemented various improvements as well. Players can now toggle some actions from the “Animals” UI, including attack, rescue, and haul. On top of that, multiple animal relationships are now presented in a single row to prevent scrolling issues while on the “Relationship” screen.
