The problem

In RimWorld, a 1×1 item lives in exactly one cell, and the game has no way to place something halfway. Put something on an edge and you have to decide which cell it belongs to, or teach the game that it can belong to more than one.

Drawn on the edge between (1, 1) and (2, 1). As far as the game’s rules go, it’s only in (1, 1), and the other cell doesn’t know it’s there.

Fig. 1. A sketch of the problem, with cells numbered the way RimWorld numbers them, x across and z up. The two approaches are shown in their simplest form. The specification works through each in much more detail, and none of this is running in RimWorld.

Assets

Logo, colors, and type.

Mark

The project’s generated logo mark. The grid gets finer with the commit count, and the cells show the split between languages. It’s redrawn as the project grows.

Palette

The colors SubCell Placement uses across this site: one hue from its discipline’s band, plus the shades that make it work on both dark and light backgrounds.
