Global Settings 🌐

Global Settings Tab

The Global tab controls core behavior that applies no matter which chat platform you use: logging, how fast commands can be used, what symbols trigger commands, and quick connection status.

How to Open

  1. Load RimWorld (main menu or in-game both work).
  2. Open Options → Mod Settings.
  3. Find and click [CAP] Chat Interactive or RICS.
  4. Switch to the Global tab at the top.

Debug and Logging

Enable Debug Logging

  • Off by default.
  • Turn this on only when something isn't working and you need detailed logs for troubleshooting or to share with the developer.

Log All Chat Messages

  • When on, every chat message from Twitch/YouTube is written to the log.
  • Helpful for moderation review or seeing exactly what was said.

Message Cooldown

  • Slider from 1 to 10 seconds.
  • Sets the minimum time a viewer must wait between using commands.
  • Keeps chat from getting spammed. 1-3 seconds is good for most streams.

Quick Status

Shows live connection state for your platforms:

  • Twitch: Connected or Disconnected
  • YouTube: Connected or Disconnected

Useful to see if your bot is actually talking to chat while you tweak settings.

Command Prefixes

Command Prefix

  • The character(s) that start most commands (default: !).
  • Examples: !help, !mypawn, !buy
  • Rules:
    • No spaces allowed.
    • Cannot start with /, ., or \.
  • Change this only if ! conflicts with another bot on your channel.

Purchase Prefix

  • A special shortcut just for buying from the store (default: $).
  • Lets viewers do $pistol instead of !buy pistol.
  • Same rules as the main command prefix.
  • Great for reducing !buy spam in busy chats.

Price List URL

  • Optional link to a webpage that lists your current store items and prices.
  • Viewers can visit it to browse before typing commands.
  • Leave blank if you don't have a public price list.

Tips

  • Start with defaults. Only change prefixes if you have a good reason.
  • The $ purchase prefix is popular to keep main commands clean.
  • Debug logging slows things down a bit — turn it off when not needed.
  • Prefix changes apply immediately to new messages.
