Changing the Storyteller on a RimWorld Together server allows players to set the game's narrative pacing and challenge their group's preferences. Each storyteller establishes the frequency and type of events, ranging from pirate raids and resource drops to manhunter packs and diseases, thus setting a different tone and rhythm for the colony's survival story. This flexibility allows the players in a RimWorld Together session to find a narrative style that best suits their desired level of drama, building, or sheer unpredictability for their cooperative playthrough.
Requirement: The server's initial setup performed by the first player to join dictates whether difficulty changes apply per player or as a server-wide default. Refresh the panel after the first player applies settings.
