Factions and ideology

The Factions screen shows every group in the world: who likes you, who wants you dead, and everything in between. The Ideology screen covers belief systems, both your colony's and other factions'. Neither screen has a hotkey in the base game, so the mod gives them one.

Press F12 to open the Extra Menus picker. This small menu lists Factions (always available) and Ideology (only if you have the Ideology DLC). Choose one to open it. If only Factions is available, F12 opens it directly with no picker.

Factions

The Factions screen is a tree view. Each item in the tree is a faction. Expand a faction with Right to reveal its details, then arrow through them: relationship, goodwill, who their leader is, and the rest of what the game tracks.

If you are new to tree views, see navigating menus for how expanding and collapsing work, including the simplified navigation mode.

Ideology

(Ideology DLC) The Ideology screen is a two-tab tree view.

The first tab is a flat list of every ideology in the game. Arrow through it to select one. This includes your colony's ideology and the ones other factions follow.

Press Tab to move to the second tab, which holds a large tree view of the selected ideology: its memes, precepts, rituals, and so on. Expand items and arrow through them the same way as any other tree view.

Ideology mechanics run deep (memes, precepts, roles, rituals). See the Ideology page on the RimWorld wiki to learn more.
