Your SteelSeries RGB gear lights up only when the colony needs you.
A RimWorld 1.6 mod for SteelSeries GG. Alt-tabbed while the game runs at 3× speed? Your mouse, keyboard or headset tells you when to come back — and stays out of the way the rest of the time.

One rule: color = how serious, flashing = it just started, steady = still going.
| Light | When |
|---|---|
| 🔴 Red — 10 fast flashes, then steady | Hostiles on a map with your colonists: raids, manhunters, infestations, berserk colonists |
| 🟠 Amber — 3 slow flashes, then steady | A colonist in trouble (serious mental break, bleeding out, giving birth) or a large fire |
| Your own lighting | Everything else — RimSense hands control back to GG |
- Calm by default — no mood bars or weather colors; the light only means something when it's on
- Every SteelSeries RGB device — mice, keyboards, headsets, mousepads; whole-device lighting
- Customizable in GG — change colors or zones in GG → Engine → Apps → RimWorld → Configure
- In-game settings — toggle danger, attention and flashing in Options → Mod settings → RimSense
- Safe — no Harmony patches, no DLC required, does nothing if GG isn't running
- Lightweight — one check per second; all networking runs off the game thread
- Languages — English, Ukrainian, Russian
