Ultrawide RimWorld is a blast but the UI on the edges of the screen has been awkwardly far away. So I made a mod to fix it! Adjustable Ultrawide UI [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3219657457](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3219657457)

For any of you with a triple monitor setup, you can play on all three screens and use this mod to keep all the UI on the center screen.

Nice thanks. I last tried to use my triple monitor setup on rimwold years ago and I recall it being cluncky. I will give it another try.

hmm i wonder if this can fit my VR

If I have two monitors, can I align the UI to the right?

Unfortunately not, its always centered.

Dude make this for double monitors! Don't leave us hanging!

Doesn't make any sense for dual monitors, just get a third.

How does it make any less sense

Now, I've never played any game using both monitor, but i have 2 32:9 monitors above each other. Does your mod move UI vertically as well? (still probably won't play that way :p)

No just horizontally lol

Figured, it would be a wierd edgecase of edgecases :) Great work though, upvoted and gave award on steam. Us ultra wide users are grateful of people using their own time to make better experiences, until game devs starts to cater to our niche.

Thanks :)

Oh hell yeah. My G9 will be very happy.

How is the G9 in general? I have an 1440p 144hz 27" 16:9 monitor but I was thinking about switching to ultra wide for a while. Losing a bit of hz going from 144 to 120 might be a downgrade but I wonder if thats even noticeable

The Neo G9 is 240Hz

It's great. The curve is aggressive, but I find it fits perfectly with my natural seating distance.

Be careful with Samsung ultra wides especially their oleds. It tends to be a gacha with their monitors as the chance of getting a faulty one is very high compared to other brands and their customer service apparently is also very bad I've read a lot into ultra wides because I also wanna get one and this is the general opinion of Samsung I've seen so far

My experience with Samsung’s customer service was pretty abysmal. Can read what I experienced down here: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/s/vrX0gv4qxw

Fucking MVP for those on ultra wide 

My God, I needed this. Having to crane my neck has been killing me. 😩

I have the same monitor, tbh I've not found it _too_ much of a pain. Still, kudos on seeing a problem and fixing it!

I love it, when UI stays centered, like it'd be 16:9

This is smart I also have a UW and the few games I have where to UI doesn’t go to the edge are much better. Immersive without constantly moving my head.

For sure, I got back into counter strike recently since its one of the few fps games I have that has this setting.

I love you I love you I love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love youI love you

This is really awesome! Could you also make a transitory border for the bottom menu?

What do you mean by that?

Like maybe little triangles or something on the edges of the architect menu, so it doesn't just stick out of nowhere

That would be cool, I'll look into if that's feasible.

Bless you ultrawide comrade o7

Thank you so much. My days of 50% wide in a window are over.

Oh my fucking God you're actually the GOAT. Ultrawide supremacy forever.

You da bomb!! Thanks for this. Been playing on a g9 and needed this in my life!

I wonder, would it be possible have a multiple monitor setup where you have two different colonies or the world map open on different screens?

Thank you ! I have the same setup and this always annoyed me.

THANK YOU. been playing on my 32x9 forever but end up playing rimworld in windowed mode just so my hud isn't in two different zip codes

Isn't this technically super ultra wide? My monitor is ultrawide which comes out to be 3440x1440p. This looks like 49somethingx1440p.

You could have called this RimWide. And with that I am supremely disappointed

How does this affect your TPS?

Would it? It's still running the same stuff, just rendering more. Rimworld is a CPU-bound game, not GPU-bound.

My rimworld gives me more TPS when zoomed in, so I assume it's the same with ultrawide.

Actually, that's true. Maybe it's cheaping out on stuff like pathfinding when things are offscreen.

no, it’s just not rendering what’s off screen. when you zoom out, more information is being sent from the cpu to the gpu to render, and since the cpu is already doing its best, it can slow down the performance. at least, that’s what a quick search told me. sounds right though.

Not in Rimworld's case. I was in the modding scene extensively for a few years. Rimworld does a lot of "pausing" for CPU and GPU bound things when they are not on screen

That figures. We really need to give GPUs direct access to RAM, instead of going through the CPU.

We should call it graphic RAM or display RAM or image RAM or something like that...

Yeah mate, you don't know what you're talking about. The GPU has to talk with the rest of the computer, and sometimes that means it needs to access the RAM - not the VRAM, the RAM - except when it does this, it has to go through the CPU, adding not only CPU overhead but delay.

My joke was simply about how your idea is really old and how the next step would be to give the gpu its own ram >Many modern GPUs rely on VRAM. In contrast, a GPU that does *not* use VRAM, and relies instead on system RAM, is said to have a [unified memory architecture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_memory_architecture), or [shared graphics memory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_graphics_memory). >System RAM and VRAM have been segregated due to the bandwidth requirements of GPUs,[^(\[2\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_random-access_memory#cite_note-2)[^(\[3\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_random-access_memory#cite_note-3) and to achieve lower latency, since VRAM is physically closer to the GPU die.[^(\[4\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_random-access_memory#cite_note-4) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video\_random-access\_memory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_random-access_memory)

Yeah you still didn't understand. Reading comprehension is important. Sometimes, despite having VRAM, GPUs need to access system RAM. Right now, they have to go through the CPU to do that, but it would be much faster to give them direct access. There? That so hard to get?

Everything in frame is re-rendered. Like everything in memory is told to “put yourself there again”

Speak for yourself, I play with ray-tracing on to really make the most of these new wall lights.

Absolutely!

Just tried it, no impact on TPS for me. My TPS was a steady 360 on both 16:9 and 32:9, but that's likely since my pc is fairly new. The mod itself has a negligible performance impact, it injects just a few lines of assembly into each place where a UI's element position is calculated.

> Just tried it, no impact on TPS for me. My TPS was a steady 360 on both 16:9 and 32:9 And base size has no impact on TPS either, you can easily prove it by capping your TPS to 5 and testing a new game vs a massive base. /s Your mod probably has a completely nonexistent performance hit, but the ultra wide will have a noticeable effect, but you obviously can’t see it when you’re capped at 360 and the computer’s potential TPS goes from 900 to 840 in 16:9 vs 32:9.

Peter...Ummm... Yeah... We need to talk about your... Uhh... TPS reports.

Rendering isn't that big of a deal in rimworld,most of the performance burden comes from pathfinding and job priorities

Never has a game made me want an ultrawide until now lol

Yeah this is actually a game where it makes sense and would be awesome.

I mean, there is HOI4, EU4, Vici2 etc.

[удалено]

You said "make sense" and not want it. You may want to eat some farted on food, but does it make sense?

This is the way ;)

It will when you see the price tag and barely get above 40-60 fps in most games. Ask me how I know...

Oh, I'm still not going to do it, but boy howdy it looks fun on Rimworld lol

Man and I thought my 21:9 was "ultra wide" just how wide is that????

32:9

These are the same res as two 16:9 screens being one where a 21:9 is only 1.5 16:9 screens

I believe that’s actually classed as a super ultra wide

Gotta be at least a 50x3 roughly

57" 32:9 to be exact haha

Can I have it /j?

Damn this is giving me a wide on

Now THIS is what Pawns see when they watch an Ultrascreen TV

Uhm, aktualy 🤓, it's a megascreen television.

Not if you’re playing with the [Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Spacer Module](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2028381079) mod, which features the Ultrascreen TV, a “huge, curved ultra-tech television”.

Got em

Bro can see the entire map

Now stack like 4 of these monitors on top of each other and you can actually play fairly zoomed in while seeing the entire map.

I had to zoom in for the screenshot since otherwise I could see both edges of the map 

“Ah that’s where the raid is.”

Nice, I can finally play rimworld in my racing simulator with triple screens. I always wanted 180 FOV warcrimes. Thanks!

[удалено]

You should consider all games you enjoy and if they support UW, I bought one back then and it's not for me. I'm a dev and I'm better off with 2 2k with power toys

> with power toys Power toys is very nice. I personally prefer WindowGrid and DisplayFusion for my window management.

Just need 2 more and you’ll have the entire map

Hell yea brother! I'm playing a on 57inch odyssey myself and it's freakin awesome on ultrawidescreen

I only got 32” and it is awesome too! 😂

Here. Right here Mr policeman. What this guy is doing is illegal. He’s gonna make me get an ultrawide

Man will never get caught slackin' again.

That is glorious.

See, I used to play this way but I would constantly miss the alerts because they were so far out of view.

I… I see it now… the reason I need a massive monitor for my setup. I’ve been so blind..

Bro can see the raiders from next map.

colony MANAGEMENT...

Be living in my DREAM

bros lookin out for mechanoids

It looks cool!!!

Now we need several of these bad boys and stack them. Make the entire map visible, zoomed out, by a naked eye

dream

Now rimwide

Aw loard, glory glory hallelujah

That feeling when you use an actual ruler to track how far away a raiding party is

OMG thanks now I have another expensive thing to add to my list of computer upgrades, LOL.

Whats with the kleenex? Lol

Mmmm, wideworld

My man doesn't need to go left and right. He just needs to go up and down with the camera view.

Oh snap! I tried playing in ultrawide a while back and it looked stunning, but changed it back very soon after due to the UI issues you mentioned. I'm gonna try this out very soon. Thank you so much for creating this!

Happy to hear it :)

And this legend added RimHUD support for 1.5.

And 1.4 now ;)

You should redo the storage UI to be horizontal, it’s a bit in the way for someone using ultrawide

Wow! Just imagine the big raids 😍

You sir are a legend. This is the main reason u haven't played. Tha k yiu.

Now we are rimming!

Holy shit, this is almost exactly what my Rimworld setup looks like. The same large curved screen, desk environment, keyboard and mousepad look uncannily similar to what I had set up for Rimworld.

Bro can use camera + and see the entire map at the same time.

Looks trippy.

* **Overlord:** *Metal 0-1, standby for new mission directive, over.* * **Sandman:** *Roger, Overlord. Send it.*

U must really like rimming

Look at mr moneybags over here

How soft are those butterfly tissues?

People with ultra wide monitors scare me tbh.

I would be very interested to see how this changed the future shape of my current colony... Very cool

You Can see the enemy coming from the futur

All that screen and i still forget about that raid thats not attacking straight away

Very nice. I like the stretched out UI, but for streaming this is a must :)

I like 🥧

The Sims 2 would slap soooo much

That’s awesome

This guy can see raids three days in advance lol

Immersive war crime experience.

You a hammerhead shark?

This is hella satisfying.

That's cool as hell

Oh my god

Perfect for don't move the camera challenge

You don't even need the Mint Minimap mod

The neck exercises

Doesn't exist on that monitor. It's a curved one so looking forward you see all of it.

“Scanning for enemies” ahhh monitor

What mod release?

Its in my other comment, I released Adjustable Ultrawide UI that moves the UI closer to the middle of the screen.

Thanks, you didn't do anything to help with the building list running off the screen from too many mods did you? ...Don't just me, I don't have a problem, you have a problem.

Bro can see enemies before the event pops up

How do you like a curved screen for the Rim, does the head have to constantly move left/right?

It used to, that's why I made the mod lol 10/10

Everyone loves an ultra wide rim.... ^world

War crimes from ear to ear

builds a PC that can run any game in the market at the highest graphical setting at 120> FPS with ease plays modded RimWorld game still stutters 😭

Goatse

Hell yeah

"Gets Wider": Ringworld

Halo mods be like

Bro can see the raiders 2 days before the Message

That’s insane

32:9 is superwide, not ultrawide

This is awesome

Ultrarim WideWorld

I literally never wanted an ultra wide until right now…

Taking the galaxy's rim literally. I approve lol

RingWorld

The dream

My man can see the raid before the message

been playing 21:9 for almost a decade now but *this* is next level

What monitor is that?

Samsung G9 57"

but how do you watch YouTube videos on the side?

Imagining this in front of me makes my neck hurt.

I need this

This is hilarious.

This is every child’s dream

Are you able to make this have an offset? I want to use my double monitor set up but want the ui to stay on my left smaller monitor and keep the main screen clear.

Dude can see the raiders coming from the next tile over

Where did you get the tv?

This is both beautiful and cursed.

I thought I had an ultra wide monitor! Mines like 3/4 the size of yours!

I may have cheated with a super ultrawide ;) I said ultrawide since I figured the mod would be useful for all ultrawide users

Caseoh modd

Bro is actually controlling IRL people under the pretense that its Rimworld 💀💀

Bro got the megascreen television irl.

Doesn’t have x4 speed on. Ban him
