Generate resources with data-center flair. Build server racks, install servers, feed them power, manage the heat, and watch the goods roll in.
- RimWorld 1.6 support, with an updated 1.5 build maintained.
- Core code refactor of the generation system for cleaner architecture and fewer edge-case bugs.
- Custom resource list is now persistent across saves/restarts (no more disappearing choices).
- Resource settings fixed — values apply and serialize reliably.
⚠️ I don’t have much time to maintain ACS right now. If you like the mod, please consider jumping in on GitHub. PRs beat issues—small, focused commits are super helpful.

Using the servers, the following resources can be generated (and more via Mod Settings):
- Silver
- Gold
- Jade
- Plasteel
- Steel
- Industrial Components
- Spacer Components
- Neutroamine
- Uranium
Server Racks hold up to 12 servers. Each installed server adds to the rack’s:
- Power draw (Watts)
- Calculating power (THz) — increases generation speed
- Heat output — scales with power draw
Generation speed scales with the summed THz in the rack. Output time is balanced against market value, so expensive items naturally take longer.
Heads-up: Some items (quest/unique content, etc.) don’t behave well when spawned. If something seems off, remove it from your custom list.
There are three server tiers. Mix and match—everything stacks inside the rack.
- Description: Entry-level compute module for typical workloads
- Cost: 50 Steel, 3 Industrial Components
- Power Consumption: 200 W
- Calculating Power: 1 THz
- Research Prerequisites:
ServerBasic
- Description: More throughput, more draw
- Cost: 70 Steel, 5 Industrial Components, 2 Spacer Components
- Power Consumption: 500 W
- Calculating Power: 3 THz
- Research Prerequisites:
ServerAdvanced
- Description: Top-shelf compute from the glittering elite
- Cost: 50 Plasteel, 5 Industrial Components, 5 Spacer Components
- Power Consumption: 1200 W
- Calculating Power: 8 THz
- Research Prerequisites:

Heat production is directly tied to power consumption. High-tier stacks run hot—plan cooling or expect toastier colonists.
All operating Server Racks contribute their combined research speed. Place a rack adjacent to a High-Tech Research Bench to tap into the networked bonus.
- Custom Resource List: Add nearly any item to generate.
Now persists correctly across sessions and saves. - Balance Controls: Adjust generation multipliers and behavior.
If an item behaves strangely when spawned, it probably isn’t intended to be generated. Remove it from your list.
- RimWorld: 1.6 (current) and 1.5 (maintained build)
- As always, back up your saves before reshuffling mods. When updating from older ACS versions, let the game load fully so settings migrate.
- Added RimWorld 1.6 support; maintained 1.5 build
- Refactored core generation system (cleaner, faster, fewer edge cases)
- Fixed: custom resource list persistence
- Fixed: resource settings application/serialization
- Updated to version 1.5
- Customizable resource list available in Mod Settings
- Fixed heat pusher issue (heat now scales with rack power usage)
- Adjusted generation relative to market value
Inspired by Spess Carp’s Commercial Server Mod. Enormous gratitude to the RimWorld Discord #mod-development crew!
Special appreciation to Jamaican Castle, Erdelf, and Aelanna for their help and guidance:
I’m short on time. If you want ACS to thrive, the best help is direct contributions:
- Pick an enhancement or bug
- Submit a PR with a brief rationale and testing notes
- Keep code tidy—small, focused commits help a lot
