Summary by Episode

• Rimworld 1.0: Cult of Igor #1 - The Eerie Tree
  • After a tumultuous crash landing, Igor Throog moves into an abandoned ruin. Following some renovations, her efforts are disrupted when a group of bugs decide to attack her fancy new cooler. Later, Igor smacks an aerofleet and gets burnt. Despite these challenges, Igor's adventurous spirit remains undaunted. She stumbles upon an Eerie Tree, the mysteries of which leave her proper befuddled after investigating. As the night falls, Igor awakes having created an ominous Grimoire!
• Rimworld 1.0: Cult of Igor #2 - Mechanoids and Spiders
  • Igor Throog, due to mod compatibility issues, suddenly finds herself on an unfamiliar planet. To her surprise, her shooting and melee stats have been swapped, and she now possesses a firearm instead of her trusty titanium hook. Undeterred, Igor moves to another abandoned ruin, which now has a Bonecreet chess set [Das Bone Creet baybee]. She embarks on a mission to restore and renovate this new base to her liking. As she settles in, a panther takes up residence in the base and eventually decides to hunt Igor. Fortunately, she manages to kill it and escape unharmed. Igor's eventful journey continues with encounters against three Scythers, a Monkey, and a Raider whom she captures with intentions of organ harvesting. Intriguingly, Igor stumbles upon another eerie tree, sparking her curiosity. This eerie discovery inspires her to pen a new Grimoire!
• Rimworld 1.0: Cult of Igor #3 - Consuming Elder Demons
  • Unable to torture her defenceless prisoner, Igor shifts her attention towards recruiting them instead. The cult steadily advances as Igor places their grimoire atop a bone altar, officially naming it "The Cult of Jerry King." Following the establishment of this cult, a solitary Agent from the Agency happens to pass by but fortunately remains oblivious to any cult activity, as they were gored by a wild boar. Igor's adventures escalate as she confronts a Monkey, three Crows, and two Raiders, in addition to an Elder Thing. She also shoots at the mist from the doorway of their base!
• Rimworld 1.0: Cult of Igor #4 - Vote on the Cult Name and Elder Demon Joins!
  • Mr. SamuelStreamer notices Igor's descent into insanity and drives her mad, leading her to become profoundly sleepy. Despite her weariness, Igor continues to eliminate crows and successfully persuades her captive, Abeneiro, to join her cause. Abeneiro names the faction "Cult," and christens their settlement as "Igor's Madness." Meanwhile, Sam promotes democracy and asks for suggestions from the comment section for alternative names. An Orion soldier arrives, mounted on a rhinoceros, engaging in a fierce confrontation that results in the soldier's defeat but leaves Igor with a gunshot wound to her left lung destroying it. To compound their challenges, a blight strikes the colony's crops and plans for a base expansion are laid. Seeking refuge from two penitents, an Elder Thing named Dafitada-Fa joins the colony, and the colony swiftly deals with the intruders by shooting and killing them. Later, Igor trades with a local faction and catches muscle parasites and Sam builds a rudimentary killbox.
• Rimworld 1.0: Cult of Igor #5 - Blood Moon
  • Sam further refines the killbox plan and begins the process of reorganizing the base and implementing crafting schedules. A blood moon rises, casting an eerie red glow over the colony. Another Orion soldier attempts an attack but meets a ruthless end, and a bizarre event unfolds as 45 shrimp inexplicably fall from the sky. The cult is rechristened as the "Cult of the Elder Four," and the settlement takes on the name "Throog's Abyss" under the crimson hue of the blood moon. As the event concludes, the colonists undergo a renaming process; Dafitada-Fa becomes Yankey Dankey, and Abeneiro is reborn as Alkhemia. A distress signal is received, drawing Alkhemia on a daring rescue mission, embarking completely naked and without medical supplies. Meanwhile, a revelation in the colony leads to the disposal of all fine meals containing meat from Yankey Dankey's species. Yankey Dankey engages in a fistfight with an alpaca, while Alkhemia sets out to rescue the stranded ally Tara-Ti. A tense encounter with an ostrich results in Alkhemia losing a thumb. Then Yankey Dankey initiates a rescue mission to save Alkhemia and Tara-Ti, who are stranded in the mountains without food. Amidst these events, Igor succumbs to madness, causing chaos within the base. Despite the turmoil, Igor manages to rescue a wounded woman named Maghar. Maghar, now part of the community, is renamed Noblesse.
