RimWorld’snew Odyssey DLC introduces new systems not found in the base game, and Landmarks are a prime example of this.
In Odyssey, you’re no longer stuck on a single planet with the objective of having to build up your ship and escape. Instead, you have your Gravship, and that allows you to explore space with your crew. When you touch base on the map, you’ll come across Landmarks, which are essentially pre-existing systems that are now abandoned.
These areas are distinct from empty sections on the map, and there are many compelling reasons to visit a Landmark.

What are Landmarks in RimWorld Odyssey?
Landmarks are pre-existing structures on the map that are placed randomly based on your seed inOdyssey. You can visit these locations to find different POIs, which can also include various resources at the place. For example, you can visit abandoned colonies that can be converted into your base. A Landmark is a special tile you will find while observing the zoomed-out version of the map.
When you’re building a base from scratch, you’ll need to build all its features and facilities on your own. A Landmark, on the other hand, will offer some pre-existing features it inherited. This could be something good, like having freezers and heaters.
In case of Valleys and Chasms, you’ll find rock formations that will aid your defensive measures. But a given Landmark can also have something negative to offer to you. There’s a chance that the factory you just found and selected as your new base has a Hivemind located underneath, which raises the chances of facing attacks.
Despite the risks, Landmarks are great as a starting point for a new colony, as they will always offer extra resources. you may also use them to find quests or send caravans to extract the resources. They’re also great choices for making pit stops between your trips.
All Landmarks in RimWorld Odyssey
There are over 45 different Landmarks you can find in the new expansion. The rate of their appearance is random and varies across different map seeds.
