Each religion can have a set of variables which indicate what a pawn must do, have, or be in order to join a religion. There’s a lot of stuff to cover.

For a brief panic here’s the full religion example. Just check it over and then come back here and relax, because I’ll explain it.

The Core

<ReligionsOfRimworld.ReligionDef>
  <defName>MechaBretonHive</defName>
  <label>Mecha Breton Hive</label>
  <description>Transhumanists. Metalheads. This technologically minded religion worships the advnacement of humanity into the realms of technology and synthetic materials. The ultimate goal for each individual within the hive is to ascend into a pure robotic body.</description>
  <settingsDefs>
    <li>MBH_JoiningCriteriaSettings</li>
  </settingsDefs>
</ReligionsOfRimworld.ReligionDef>

You know how defs work. This stuff is probably self explainable. I've used Mecha Bretons are an example here, and this is all from my mind so obviously up for change.

You'll see under settingsDefs there can be a list of defs we can point to, which will be all of our special rules for this religion. Right now you see MBH_JoiningCriteriaSettings listed there. This is just telling Religions of Rimworld (RoR) that it should look for defNames with the listed names.

Let's see what that looks like:

Joining Criteria

<ReligionsOfRimworld.ReligionSettingsDef ParentName="RoRJoiningCriteriaBase">
  <defName>MBH_JoiningCriteriaSettings</defName>
  <settings Class="ReligionsOfRimworld.ReligionSettings_JoiningCriteria">
    <criteria>
      <li Class="ReligionsOfRimworld.JoiningCriteria_Trait">
        <criteria>Transhumanist</criteria>
        <importance>Critical</importance>
        <shouldHave>true</shouldHave>
      </li>
      <li Class="ReligionsOfRimworld.JoiningCriteria_Hediff">
        <criteria>BionicEye</Criteria>
        <importance>Important</importance>
        <shouldHave>true</shouldHave>			
      </li>
      <li Class="ReligionsOfRimworld.JoiningCriteria_Gender">
        <criteria>Male</criteria>
        <importance>Low</importance>
        <shouldHave>true</shouldHave>
      </li>
    </criteria>
  </settings>
</ReligionsOfRimworld.ReligionSettingsDef>	

shouldHave is defaulted to true and can be omitted. importance can be Low, Standard, Important, and Critical. Low is default and can be omitted.

You can require pawns (your colonists and other generated pawns) have certain traits, hediffs, and or gender.

So, this is saying mecha bretons get good piety when they kill enemies (they are pleasing their god.) Also, if you kill any of the mechs you get a bad opinion about it. Your god understands, you don't lose piety, but you feel bad about doing it.

Unlike Killing Settings, deaths are whenever anything dies and it doesn't matter who killed it. This example shows us that MechaBretons get good piety when any human dies.

This is pretty straight forward. You get piety or opinion changes base on doing stuff with specified weapons.

Pawns have an opinion about each other depending on their deeds, bloodlines, and more. Religion can be an extra reason for your pawn to make on opinion about someone else. Pawns can like or dislike someone based on religion.

Mecha bretons would dislike looking at a honker, but a good opnion of goatboys. If you specify a defaultProperty, you can omit the witness opinion in a ReligionProperty_ReligionDeflisting.

Define apparel you want to affect your pawn. The amount of clothes on the pawn multiplies the effect.

As far as I can tell the above xml will give your pawn good piety when wearing anything made of plasteel. I still don't know a whole lot about this section. Will update later.

Honestly I don't know what this does. All the religions are like this so... I just copied them. There doesn't seem to be any documentation on it.

Religious pawns need to pray and worship at specified buildings, in order to gain piety, good thoughts, and stuff.

Just list the building defNames, like above.
