/v/ - Video Games

Oh, it's been a while since a Rimworld thread. Any good new mods? is the reproduction mod still active?

>>14160166

I'm still working with my pirated A17 version and all the mods I downloaded back in August, so I can't tell you. If I'm correct, some of the bigger mods haven't updated yet, right?

>>14160179

Well, I mean for the A18 version. I just hope not to break the game with too many mods.

I want to rape and/or mutilate (more so than currently allows) my captives, what mods do I need to do this?

How is this post-love update?

When it was being developed it sounded like the worst idea the game could implement and seemed more like a pain in the ass than something "interesting".

>>14160220

The coldsteel mod

>>14160254

>post-love update

Sorry, what?

>>14160296

The update that let colonists talk to each other which let them end up either falling in love or killing each other.

The way it was discussed and shown by the dev made it seem like the colonists would end up fighting way more often than not.

Does anyone have a mod that makes the geothermal generator output more energy? Because the expense, time to research, and the fact that there are only a few steam-holes on most maps doesn't justify using them when they only provide as much as two fucking solar panels or three-and-change wood generators.

>>14160313

Yeah, I've got one bitch that keeps getting in fights with everyone because she has an automatic -20 with everyone due to being "ugly", so they always insult her. It's kinda bullshit.

>>14160984

Beautiful people only.

>>14161025

Has anyone tried a challenge like that where only beautiful or super ugly people are allowed to join?

>>14161409

How long did it take you to tame all those animals and how much shit do they eat every day?

combat extended spoiled me, i cant get into vanilla B18 combat

>>14160220

birds and the bees, i chop their peenors off

>>14160166

The children mod has been updated to B18 yeah

>>14162613

yeah, dude the stove needs wood or electricity

and you need to queue jobs

just saying.

So anyone have any recommended mods for this shit? I played vanilla but I feel this game needs mods to make it playable.

>>14162929

it doesn't unless you have to satisfy a fetish

>>14162913

the first research table doesn't require electricity, tribal starts are fucking hard as balls though as the other 2 options have huge tech advances to start with.

>>14162944

The first research table doesn't let you research any of the stuff later on though like making medicine at the drug lab which doesn't even require power to do.

>>14162944

Can the game simulate sex slaves who grow to enjoy their sexual enslavement?

>>14163004

Rimjobworld does.

>>14162929

We used to have a list for A17 but some of that's defunct now. SimpleSidearms and GiddyUp are pretty good though, you can't go wrong with them.

>>14162929

What kind of shit do you want to do? There's all sorts of content mods out there that let you do a variety of things. Personally, I'm trying to survive alone as a super-augmented cyberassassin cannibal in a desert.

Is the reproduction mod active in A18? Is it still incompatible with the alien races mod?

>>14160220

Rimworldjob.

Do take care, the enemy might rape your knocked-out pawns

>>14162953

I hate tribal start so I'm not even sure myself.

Is there a mod that adds lewd yet?

>>14164628

Did you read the thread?

Where the fuck did my mechanoid post go?

I’m astonished that there aren’t any mods that let you reprogram or build your own mechanoids. I mean, NONE. I’ve gotten good enough at the game that my only goal now is to run a world where I destroy or take over all the settlements owned by all the other groups, but to do that I either have to train literally thousands of animals or wait dozens of years in-game to get the people needed to run those raids. But the game is so poorly optimized that it becomes unplayably slow after only three or four in-game years.

>>14165464

>wanting to play as niggers

>any time, any reason

I have the Psychology mod installed solely to give me access to the ✡Kinsey Scale✡, SOLELY to let me put anyone above a 0 in a furnace I’ve built.

>>14162613

Colonists with the "ascetic" trait will often eat raw foods (or in my case, eat my damn caravan pemmican). If you have all of them doing it, though, you're obviously doing something wrong. Fine meals require both a meat and a vegetable ingredient or they won't get made.

The only significant bug I've noticed is that it's impossible to shoot an animal while it's sleeping. My best guess is that they simply don't have a hitbox while "lying down". It's annoying sometimes because a hunter will sometimes sit there for several in-game hours shooting and always "missing", before eventually giving up and going to bed.

>>14165650

>fine and lavish meals require meat and vegetables

>one of them (I forget which) is turned off by default in the orders

Way to code, Ludeon.

>>14165681

You can't just make a unsubstantiated claim like that. "Oh, I don't know what it is, but something is broken, so the dev is a loser!" It's especially meaningless coming from someone who apparently uses the game as nothing more than a vehicle for his Nazi fantasies. "Ooooh! Look at me; I'm burning all the gays! Look how COOL I am!"

>>14165681

What the fuck are you talking about?

>>14165739

>unsubstantiated

Open the goddamn game and start a new task on a cooking bench. For fuck’s sake.

>only Nazis hate queers

>>>/tumblr/

Holy fucking god, kill yourself.

>playing games in early access

>>14166103

I did that and all my fine and lavish meals required and accepted everything except for human meat. So what the fuck are you talking about?

>>14162613

if your meat has longpork in it colonists will not touch it. and with how meals where managed in a17 is the same 1 meal placed on a stack will taint the whole stack with the "made with human" debuff

secondarily you could check your permissions and make sure you didn't forbid your freezer/ forbid the food you don't want them to access.

>>14160156

I do like me some comfy!

>>14168510

I think he is just tired from coding this game.

Well, at least someone could make complete Rimworld mod after he's done with it.

>solo start, use Prepare Carefully to jack the colonist full of Advanced Bionics

>no new colonists allowed, only the one I started with

>install RJW and monstergirls, set human-animal pregnancy to always produce animal children

>start with one female Dryad

>three years later, exponential population growth

>gigantic hay fields to provide feed

>running out of freezer space to store all the milk since they produce it faster than one man consumes it

>animals seem to count towards raid size calculation, so raiding parties number in the dozens against my one colonist

I was worried it was going to be gamebreaking to start with all those bionics and to use the terraforming mod to build a moat, but for this kind of playthrough it seems necessary, and I've still gotten killed several times.

>>14169508

>>14168727

On one hand, I can appreciate that modders will have a stable foundation to build upon the game. On the other hand, the game itself is bare-bones. I understand that the Rimworld devs have been working for years, but it feels like the game is still missing some key features.

>>14168510

Seriously?

I guess he's relying on modders for any extra content. I understand that he just wants to finish the game, though.

>>14169821

The problem is that at this point nobody can agree on what those "key features" actually are.

>>14170097

z levels

>>14170097

Fog of war

>>14170097

I may be wrong, but wasn't there a dev goal list somewhere? I tried looking for it and I couldn't find it. If not, I think my point still stands to some extent, but I completely understand what you're saying. Pretty much everyone on the forums and in the Rimworld threads seem to have a different idea on what direction the game should steer towards. While I don't necessarily have know where the game should go, I believe that the devs could discern an idea of what the community wants.

>>14169196

afaik, raids are based on "total wealth" so that means population, animals, structures and anything stored, plus I assume other things that can be counted, but literally everything.

anyone got a modpack or something? i've got an older version of the game and having to search for newer versions of every single mod i have there is a nuisance

>>14162253

>birds and the bees

LOL

>>14171816

>Pretty much everyone on the forums and in the Rimworld threads seem to have a different idea on what direction the game should steer towards.

HOW?

You just said yourself you can't figure it out

>>14160313

Just like real life

>>14174513

>Not playing a colony of cannibals

And that is your problem.

>>14170097

Rimworld is a mini-scale game. Hell, we can call it chibi. Combined with the animals available on a regular sized square of the world, I can feed a population of 30 with the plants grown in just a 15x9 square of soil. That’s super small compared to reality. Thing is, they couldn’t make it realistic because their coding is so bad you’d lag by having larger world squares (the game even tells you this), and the in-game days aren’t long enough to let pawns get any work done in LARGER fields. There aren’t vehicles (tractors, combines, etc.) to make that scale of farming possible, either. All caravans are just walking, too, even though there are now roads (you can’t lay your own, though). You still start running into placement problems as your shit grows, though, since pawns want individual bedrooms that are FUCKING GIGANTIC. Bedrooms will always be the largest percentage of your base. They dwarf food production by something like 4:1 in my game, and that’s for just “acceptable” size bedrooms. The devs are too stupid to make Z layers without the game becoming unplayably slow (and it would break their entire system, since everyone would just make underground bases and no raids could touch you), but having a fucking skyscraper (with elevator) for your bedrooms would be nice. But nope. Oh, and you still can’t get rid of overhead mountains, ever, at all.

>>14174552

You're not wrong, but that doesn't make it bad. It's rather bullshit compared to reality, but EVERY GAME makes concessions based on the fact that it's a game. Miniaturization of scale in games is commonplace. It works, not because it's the same as real life, but because it's internally consistent. Yes, the farms are small, but because not much food is required and the pawns can't walk very small in a single day, it works on the scale that it's been given. If you want tractors with real-scale farms or some shit, Farming Simulator is right down the hall.

Your problem is that you want a completely different game. It's like asking for FPS elements in a TBS game. Like, nigga, the fuck are you doing?

i never been able to install mods mostly because i have to install then manually and the manual version of mods arent update im using 0.18 something version any idea how find mods updated?

>>14175115

How about you stop typing like a nigger and maybe we'll tell you?

>>14174929

>Farming Simulator is right down the hall

I'm pretty sure farming simulator isn't a colony management game. But then, neither is rimworld.

>>14175132

And you're not anymore?

>>14175225

i took a shower so im only half asleep now

quit shitposting and go to bed

>>14174929

I'd just prefer consistency in miniaturization. I should be able to have smaller bedrooms. Also, carpet and laid bricks should give a bigger happiness boost than fucking bare, smoothed rock, for fuck's sake.

>>14175347

>>14175354

And move slower? I don't think so.

>>14175347

> wasting storage space for degrading materials with non-degrading materials

Disgusting

>>14173824

Well, there is a form of data collection used in primitive societies, which estimates the opinions of a collective. It's called a fucking survey. Hell, for all I care the devs could have just picked a direction and pushed forward. It's not my job to figure out what the community wants, but it sure as shit is or was the devs.

Regardless, this thread has persuaded me that going to 1.0 isn't that bad. Thanks, anons.

Gonna build a PC soon so I can finally play this game again. I miss my Android male hunting castrating colony.

>>14173866

tfw not in the third image

>>14175180

If you're going to go around asking for games that don't exist, and bitching about games not being exactly the way you want them to be, you're going to just look like an asshole.

>>14175330

Then have smaller bedrooms! If you want to make fucking matchstick bedrooms like in DF, go ahead. There's nothing stopping you. The mood debuff for the small space isn't that bad, and because they're asleep it can't affect productivity. That tiny debuff can easily be overcome if the rest of your base isn't shit.

How come there isn't a function or mod that alters the length of the days? I find it incredibly unlikely that a bunch of escape pods would happen to land on a planet that's almost exactly the same as Earth, and even if it was, days and nights would have different times depending on my latitude! I've never seen anyone even think of this before, but it's so obvious. What's the deal?

>>14182539

I don't know how to mod so why don't you make it?

Well at lest tribal start is a lot more fun in the early stages. Boreal forest is where its at.

>>14183236

thing that pisses me off about tribal start is you can't "tech up" and are always stuck with glacially slow research after you're in real tech. even though half your colony, and your researcher, aren't tribal.

>>14182539

>operation flashpoint had lat-lon/seasonally correct stars, day/night, sun angle, moon phase, and tides

more games should do this, it's cool

>>14174513

>"The final straw was cooked cannibalism"

In other words, you have him raw food and longpork as options for dinner. And you're upset he's upset and chose a potato over a leg.

>>14183484

I've been meaning to do a chalenge run where I start from the most basic tech level with nothing researched at all (Neolithic I think) and slowly tech up to Spacer with that mod.

There's a couple mods for Tribal Addons that give you furniture and shit to survive in the early stages and there's also the Medieval Times and Industrial City (from the same guy that does the Cthulu ones) for their respective periods of time.

It'd probably be really nice to see a colony shape up from tents to houses to a small city to a large industrial complex, instead of starting in these weird shapes because despite only having 3 people yet, I'm already planning space for 20.

>mods exist

Thanks for pointing that out anon, you're a real hero. Why do you enter a thread discussing a game if you don't want to read discussion of it?

>>14184740

I think his point is more "mods do in fact exist and have for a while to fix this specific problem" rather than "hur dur mods can fix anything"

>>14185116

Im sure you are aware of retards that insist editing xml files absolves the game from all criticisms, because those retards post in EVERY rimjobs thread

>>14169508

Huh, and the RimWorld dev actually made a book on game dev, when from your posts, it seems that there's some lack of design or adaptability put into the game itself.

ok– i'm in– nothing to do– time to start up rimworld

>>14184740

What criticism? That the game should be the way you want it to be because you're the lead designer of it?

The game is as it is, you can like it or you can hate it. But if what truly bothers you is the lack of a specific feature that can indeed be added by mods then you have no one else to blame for it's lack than you.

The Dev doesn't have to cater to anyone, you just don't buy the game if you don't like it and that's that.

However, it does feel more like some people just want to complain about the Dev and the game for lacking something and said complaint matters more than actually having said feature. You don't want any of that, you want a valid reason to shitpost about the game, at least be honest about it.

>>14184766

There's a mod that lets you grab prisoners without having a jail for them. It sounds useless until you consider that you can make prisoners when you're raiding other settlements and bring them back.

There's Prison Labor, a mod that lets you define a specific area, assign a Warden and the prisoners will try to do any work in that area that can be done. They'll riot and try to escape sometimes too if you're not carefull.

Then there's the famous Rimjobworld that lets you define "confort prisoners" to be used by any colonist for relief.

In fact, depending on what mods you use, you can have an entire colony that's based around 3-5 overlords that rape prisoners and have the females work themselves to death while spawning more colonists while the males are recruited into a personal disposable army.

It's even better when you combine it with the Vampire mod since you basically have a blood stock right there too.

>>14185436

In most games, we do not have the option to make the game up to our liking. In those games, you're told "if you want a different game, make it yourself".

Rimworld is one of the few where you can indeed mod a lot of stuff into it to an higher degree that a lot of other mod-strong games (like pretty much anything Bethesda makes), so you don't even have to make an entire new game to make you happy, you can just mod this one a bit till it's to your liking.

And yet that's not good enough and in fact bad. Because apaprently that's "excusing criticism" when nobody has said the base game is perfect or even good.

If I mention that you can apply mods to make the game better, I'm not excusing criticism, I'm telling you there are valid complaints and here's several different solutions.

If you want to stick to complaining because shitposting about Rimworld is more important than playing the game you say you'd like it to be, than that's your fault and there's no mods that fix that.

My friend plays this game but i'm too retarded/normalfag to understand it.

Am I the only one that likes prefabs in the open rather than holes in caves?

So I loaded this up for the first time since v16.. lots of changes, decided that I would give that tribal start thing a go.. not doing too bad but that fucking research penalty, fucking christ fuck that. About to restart as a rich explorer…

>>14186358

do you like being attacked from all directions?

I very much prefer the side of mountains for a base, if you don't go into the thick roof area you won't be infested either.

>>14186326

give wind power a chance it's a game changer. (diversification really makes power management a lot better)

>>14186506

>do you like being attacked from all directions?

They've only ever attacked from one side at a time and one turret is enough to slow them so the settlers can get ready to fight.

Besides, you can build walls around the whole place. I remember building one like a castle with the common area (dining, cooking, fridge, and hospital) serving as the keep. Worked pretty well until everyone died of liver cirrhosis.

Under the Assign tab there's an icon to the left of the outfit column. That sets behavior when under attack. I'm pretty sure it works for hunting animals as well as normal hostiles.

For extra effectiveness use the Sidearms mod and give everyone a melee weapon in addition to their gun.

>>14186703

it's not medieval because the houses are not round, also how did you get that far into the game without even tapping the absolute closest steel node at your south gate.

>>14189672

>There are absolutely valid complaints people make about the vanilla game

Sometimes, yes, if it's about a game mechanism that does not function properly. However, most of the complaints are just people bitching that the game isn't the way they want it, or doesn't work the same as DF, or whatever else.

Saying that when someone suffers an illness in bed, that they cannot be moved from it into a hospital bed is a valid criticism. That's something in the game that isn't working properly. Saying that the fields produce too much food or the bedrooms have to be made big is not valid. That's not asking to FIX something, that's asking to CHANGE it. See the difference?

You know what the problem really is? Gamers, especially here, expect their every desire to be catered to. It's easily visible every time someone posts a thread asking "Hey, anons, is there a game that does X, Y, and Z?" or "Is there a game like X but that doesn't have any faggots in it?" or "X would be a great game if it didn't have Y in it." It's fucking ridiculous. These people are a bunch of spoiled fucking brats, the kind who go to a restaurant and order a meal… but then specify twenty nitpicking fucking changes to the ingredients and preparations.

You want your own game? MAKE YOUR OWN GAME! You don't want to do that? PLAY THE GAMES THAT YOU HAVE AND BE THANKFUL, YOU CUNTSTAIN.

>>14168510

>”furiously refining the hell out of this thing”

If that means doing some more of what they did between 17 and 18, I’m sort of okay with that. I’m running a base in 18 with over 100 animals and at least 35 colonists now and it’s still a playable framerate. Not perfect, mind you, but playable. The same thing in 17 would have taken me to sub-10 FPS. I don’t like that they’re considering it done when there are so many things you ought to still be able to do, though. Particularly when the “mods will fix it!” mindset was proven disastrously wrong with Kerbal Space Program, which hasn’t… Fuck, now I’m just sad thinking about it.

>>14190298

>BE THANKFUL

>>14190480

perhaps you could articulate what you think is wrong with the game?

or are you just bitching to be a bitch as was insinuated earlier?

the whole going in circles with memes and shit posts is retarded (too).

>>14190480

You'll get what you fucking get because you're a powerless tiny person with literally no influence over anything in the world. Even if you could somehow muster everyone on this board to unite under a single cause (which is hilariously unlikely) it would not even be a blip on the radar of any game producer.

In short: nobody cares what you fucking think. You can either continue to sit there and bitch a whine, or you can make something with your own two hands. Even that retard up there slaughtering modded catgirls is better than you are.

>>14191242

Technically.

>>14192691

>that many support columns

Nigger you what. You can leave a gap of 10 squares between support rows and then a gap of two squares between each support column. Gotta minmax that shit if you’re going to dig an entire mountain out of existence. Also, since the tool to destroy overhead mountains won’t be updated for modern versions of the game, I just RP that any time a cave in happens, it takes out the overhead with it, and I use the dev tool to change a rough circle of roof around the fallen rocks from overhead mountain to regular roof (so that it will fall again the next time, but the damage shouldn’t be too great.

>>14192768

yea you should be fine with having to lay miles of track and building a steam engine that constantly breaks down and eats fuel. or firing a rocket into space every time you need to trade

>>14192691

As for your question, there’s that spaceship mod, isn’t there? You can build SSTO ships to flit from place to place. You have to have a runway built in the takeoff and landing location, though (which is a nice touch). It’s really fucking cool, but doesn’t seem to be v18 ready, yet.

https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=31906.0

If you think that’s too overpowered, you can use these two mods (or one or the other), which allow you to reuse drop pods or create pods that take off and land anywhere. I only grabbed the steam pages so you could see descriptions. The non-steam download is on the forums (if you’re a pirate, like me).

>>14193546

Oh, that sounds good. Will they make more updates after the game release besides bug fixing?

>>14193546

From the sound of that post it seems like he wants to leave the possibility that 1.0 is feature complete open and that its a possibility that he'll move on to some other project.

>Game X doesn't even launch until all files have been heavily edited

>It's not really valid to criticize game X because your preference for a functional game is subjective and individual to you.

>If you want a functional game it's you job to fix it

A game is not above criticism because it's possible to mod it. You are paying for a product, and the developer is the one who has reason to be grateful, not you. If I say to the developer, "I think this mechanic would work better with this change…" and I give my reasoning for it, that developer could see the mechanic in a way they hadn't before, they can change the game to make it more enjoyable for the majority of players.

I would also like to mention that it isn't as if every buyer of a game is omniscient, knowing exactly what is in the game before they buy it. If I buy a game based on promotional material, and that game doesn't play out in the same way as it appeared, it is perfectly valid to say that you were lied to about the product you purchased.

So when are they going to release multiple z levels?

>>14194085

In Rimworld Z

>>14193978

>Game X doesn't even launch until all files have been heavily edited

That doesn't describe Rimworld; it runs perfectly and consistently with only a few small in-game bugs, none of which are game-breaking. You can't just reductio ad absurdum away the fact that you're a picky asshole who doesn't want what he's given but will do nothing about it but complain.

The white race is dead, and if you're straight you'll always be cucked by the female Jew.

As for the base, eh, efficiency is in the eye of the beholder. Only retards who hate fun min/max games. For defense, though, your best bet is some kind of killbox. If nothing else, make a defensive line with that has a pattern of two wall, one sandbag, two wall, one sandbag that raiders can't get around easily. That way your shooters can use the corners of walls as cover.

What are you selling to make money in that base?

>>14198359

Do you expect anyone to believe you, moishe?

>>14198359

Killboxes are shit. Only fags play and use them.

>>14198372

It's the best tactic for vanilla. Of course, if you're into heavy modding, you can just download the "win instantly" mod and not even bother playing.

>>14198372

What if you want to farm and harvest delicious human flesh?

>>14198381

I know it's the best tactic, that doesn't make it boring and piss easy.

>>14198383

Then do what normal people do - kidnap some women and constantly have them giving birth so you have a steady supply of human meat.

>>14198395

But that ruins the taste. Human flesh is only tasty if it comes from pure evil, not crying women and children.

>>14198286

plan around your pawns day… for example placing the rooms near the kitchen as most pawns wake up go grab some food and then go out and do their work minimizing the distance from kitchen to farm is important (unless your have a few doezen huskies trained to haul) then minimizing the kitchen to work area for each pawn and managing thew put of resources via raw resource storage area > workshop > finished product area as toolboxes can support multiple work stations spiting them up is next to useless but because your pawns will spend so many waking hours at them keeping them tidy and adding some art can prevent unnecessary breakdowns.

so take "steve"

he wakes up is hungry so he goes to the kitchen grabs food and eats in his dining hall (if its impressive he gits a mood bonus) steve crafts along with tree other craft sla-colonists. that all make it down the hall to the kitchen to the workshop during the day he moves from the storage for raw iorn and the storage for the salt rifles/power armor he is making the bell rings and its mandatory joy time so he heads to the pool hall plays some pool eats and goes to bed. if you want steve to do the best he can the best thing is to minimize how many steps he needs to take witch i find comes from centralizing the kitchen/ dining hall then building work areas around that.

mountain roofs have a huge bonus on their heat efficiency. so building the freezer under the mountain is worth the infestation risk.

before v18 batteries caused short circus/ fires so minimizing them was something i kinda obsessed about but if you don't use wiring you can get around that, like building a windmill solar panel battery next to each other and running your freezer and starting workstations off of it removed the risk of bullshit fires.

What's a good download link for this game?

>>14198648

Batteries don’t arbitrarily short circuit in 18 anymore? What about the power cables themselves?

>>14198786

>Batteries don’t arbitrarily short circuit in 18 anymore? What about the power cables themselves

its now just the cables i could do some testing but in 17 if a circuit dint have any batteries it would never catch fire.

>>14198359

>>14199051

I find slavery to be a good way to make money off of what would otherwise would be prisoners either useless or too difficult to recruit.

Of course, this does cause a morale hit to your moralfag pawns. Before this I tried harvesting limbs/organs for sale but for some reason once they die you can't harvest their organs, though it might have been changed in a patch and if not, in a mod.

>>14199635

>y-you too

>>14186531

>>14168510

Wow so it will be time to buy the game soon. Neat. This is the first time one of those early access games I've been following hasn't been abandoned or gone to shit before release.

>>14199051

I make a combined workshop and dining area the approximate center of my base. They spend most of their day there, so it's the most efficient. Really, it depends what you're doing with your colonists; you want to minimize the distance they have to walk with what they are doing the most often. Like for a kitchen, you'll want it to be right next to both your meat freezer and your stockpile of vegetables. For sculpture tables you want them to be right next to both the raw material stockpile, and the finished goods stockpile (around a trade beacon).

A lot of people put their bedrooms in a central area, but that's pointless. Colonists will only walk the distance between there and the workshop area twice a day: when they get up, and when they go to bed. Go ahead and stick beds way off to the side out of the way. But if they're cutting stone blocks for example, they'll walk the distance between the stockpile of stone and the stonecutting table a dozen or more times per day. The more often a colonist walks a path per day, the shorter you're going to want it to be. Stuff that is used less often can be to the side somewhere; don't waste centralized space with things like comm stations or drug labs that are used rarely (unless your main income source is making drugs, in which case by all means put it in the middle of everything).

Art is a good source of income, especially if you can keep a steady supply of stone blocks around, and you don't have to worry about your colonists going around snorting up your jade sculptures. Clothing is also good for early game, because you'll have all those hides from meat you hunt lying around.

>>14199058

I find it difficult to not just kill everyone hostile who attacks; rarely do they survive the opening barrage of gunfire. Using melee weapons just opens up my own colonists to injuries that I'd rather not have to deal with. The game needs tranquilizer darts.

>>14201196

>>14201201

I hate to say this, I think at this point we can't even fight it anymore. I work at a hospital a fucking MEDICAL SCIENCE CENTER, and we have to ask a patient what they identify as

>>14201205

I work in a hospital too and everyone laughs at trannies if they ever come through. The GP signup forms have gender identity instead of sex with an other box but medicine is science and only their biological sex matters. If they want worse care because they don't want to be treated as what they are then they can grin while dying. No amount of legislation will stop the snickering in the break rooms though.

How high are you?

If a game was specifically made to be highly moddable, than that has to factor in.

Also, the idea that a game/dev has to implement every idea you want is insane. The game is not complete when it has every feature you desire, but rather when it has all the features the dev decided to put in.

Here's the list of mods I'm using at the moment.

The monkeys are from Rimworld of the Apes. I really only have issue with it not showing their blood loss, as I see that they're bleeding out 435%, but they're still scooting around like fuckall's going on. Also they don't wear anything at all.

The cults of course are from the Call of Cthulhu mods. Pretty neato shit.

The hydraulic vaginas are from RimJobWorld, which surprisingly added not only hilarious and original sex jokes, but another layer to the game itself, which was neat.

>>14209183

>>14198849

>>14198786

I don't have any batteries hooked up to my power grid; once in a while get shorts that cause smaller fires unless the line runs through a solid wall. I did have a problem with a hooked up battery once in the latest version, but I can't say it was a frequent occurrence for me.

>>14215094

yea its tied to the cables now not cables + battery. iv'e had a few bad experiences with the shorts that kinda put a bad taste in my mouth over them. like having a half dozen lamia eggs get fried because of a temperature spike in the hallway next to a climate controlled "nest" couldn't get the fire out fast enough in a cave with granite walls and smoothed stone floor because LOL RANDO FIRE BUDDY THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR GOING GREEN i mean if the energy sytem had some thought put into it like not running 10000 wats threw a single iorn wire, having to much energy in the system blowing out lights or getting fucked for using cheap wire rather than proper thick copper cabling. being able to manage input and out put to reduce the risk of shit getting fucked up rather than the intended LOL your fucked because """Realism"""

The current work around for vanilla is to just not use wires. building solar next to a battery next to whatever you need to power will only have a breakdown risk not the LOL your base is on fire now hope you didn't need those full hospital beds.

>>14215735

Post more of your base, you Blackhand!

IN THE NAME OF KANE!

>>14215417

Random disasters are never fun in any game, especially if there is no way to mitigate them later on. I can mostly avoid the worst happening with shorts (losing all stored battery power in the middle of the fucking night and having all the heaters or the fridge go out) because I've made a separate power plant (fueled generators hooked up to a couple of batteries, separated by a switch) that can be used as an emergency backup. But there is still power interruption for a short period until someone can flick that switch. Which means I'm fucked if it happens in the middle of a raid or if I've got hydroponics going.

In that case, I don't feel bad reloading an old save.

>>14216456

i just do everything i can to avoid having pawns burn to death, even if it means cutting corners as far as other things go, be it being short on beds or food, not having defences up…. Or having a fucktarded electrical system that consists of multiple solar panel battery pairs scattered threw out my base wherever i need the power. or wiring with a string of batteries in the walls

>>14216456

There's a backup power mod. You can set up an array of batteries isolated from the mains by a switch, and if the main circuit loses power it automatically trips the emergency backup.

>>14216596

got the seed/map file?

>>14216687

Its likely too heavily modded for you to load it, but if the zone beyond mine gets to redzone ill send a caravan of a few tib immune nod troops over using only nod gear and no plate carriers and tac vests and whatnot and see if you can load it up.

>>14218660

I think the closest you're going to get is the Fallout mod on a custom scenario with some permanent toxic shit going around.

>>14218696

Fallout is irredeemable trash, though, and has been since FO2.

Sounds like it's time for me to look into modding myself. It's been a long time since I've done anything of the sort, but I can think of a bunch of features that could work out.

>make farming harder

>break "components" down into electrical and mechanical

>packs of wild dogs and the like, maybe mutants but only maybe

>wrecked cars can be salvaged the same way ship chunks currently are

>new gun system, ranging from shitty homemade pipe shotguns and DIY muskets to prewar weapons, ideally work ammo into the system while rebalancing damage and accuracy to account

>litter the world with scavenging sites, make sending out caravans to grab stuff a major part of normal gameplay

>re-flavor factions

>colonists randomly getting plagues

>this is still an issues after 3 years

Man, either the temperature equalization calculations need a total rework or they need to let us have coolers work through double walls. I need three coolers to keep an average-sized fridge at a stable temperature because of the fucking single-wall shit.

>>14223200

I failed to explain that the link is for a video about freezers and coolers.

How is it with modding nowadays?

I last played 12d with a modpack that was nearly the same size as the base game, but now everytime I want to fire it up again, there are no collective modspacks on the forum.

The times where I try to download and install 50-100 seperate mods has finished for me after Minecraft…

>>14223200

>that one block where your air-con is

I need seven to cool my base and three to do the freezer. One block my ass.

>>14218757

The one thing about farming that would make sense is that you don't start with an infinite number of every type of seed. Depending on your technology level, you should only have a couple of things to start with, in a limited number, like 20 each rice and potatoes. Everything else you'd have to buy. Harvesting crops would always yield more seeds than you planted initially, but no more than 150%, so you'd have to scale up from your first tiny patch of potatoes over many planting cycles, or just buy seeds in bulk. As it is, farming is a basically effortless way to get shittons of food with only a single pawn working the fields.

>>14221715

>research bench is not is a sterile room

Does this even matter?

>>14216456

I know there's a mod that adds circuit breakers but having something like that wouldn't have been bad in vanilla.

>>14223709

the roof above your freezer makes a huge difference as to the insulation along with the temperature at the ass end of your cooler. coolers only move heat and if the hot end is in a 200° 3x3 hotbox because you wanted to Build a solid wall around your base You're fucked. if you build your freezer under the immovable mountain roof (risking infestation, not that that is really a problem if you have a competent squad built up) and your cooler is attached to an "outside" tile there is no reason you cant keep a 10x10 cooler frozen with one powered cooler assuming your using a double door air lock and double walls. the rock roof also produces superior insulation with the shit (free) tin roof being absolute garbage. unless your playing in extreem desert or have to deal with some 120°F-130°F heat waves i don't see your problem

>if the research room isn't spotless there's a malus to work speed

I've never seen that mentioned anywhere. Usually the workbenches will tell you if there's a debuff in place (like bad work temperature, or if it's outside [which in itself makes no sense for certain things like refineries and smelters that should be outside because otherwise everyone's dying of carbon monoxide poisoning]), so it seems odd this one doesn't.

Oh well, it's not like research takes that long, anyway.
