/v/ - Video Games

I've heard the game's performance goes to shit once you've gone through some years due to all the information saved in the game.

If this is true, then I hope the dev finds a way to fix this before release.

>>14237288

There is a mod already for that.

I can't even have Rimworld run for 5 mins on my laptop. Crashes every time. Looks like I need to build a PC.

>>14237379

whats with dwarf fortress players and their need to think themselves superior for playing one shitty game over another

It would be a shame if any rulefags reported this thread.

>>14237269

>What the fuck is this newfangled “mouse” thing the kids are using? I refuse to use it. It scares me.

>>14237323

>that base

So it’s all for nothing when a raid drops right on top of it.

>>14237379

Go back to sucking the cock of someone too stupid to figure out how to use a mouse in 2018, faggot.

>>14237411

Not to worry for I also have Thick Roofs mod so I don't have to deal with ship chunks and poison/psychic cans landing in my weed farm. Disadvantage is that I can't use solar roofing to power the base anymore.

>>14237227

Release (actually finished) or "release" (rushed out of beta incomplete)? You never can tell with these early access games.

All I wanted was to be able to have a space saloon in my lawless space cowboy shanty town and Tynan fucked it up.

That being said, I'm otherwise content with the game.

>>14237227

The 18b update broke all my fucking mods so none of them

>>14237805

>what is this "content" thing people keep talking about?

Right, your dev can't even add the content of "mouse support" in a game made 35 years after the introduction of the mouse.

Whaat's wrong with the old thread?

>>14237227

>nearing release

>still no z-levels

>still no liquids or gasses to play with other than simple circle-clouds

Is there at least ionizing radiation and neutron radiation and shit like that? I remember there being a pretty sweet mod that added in toxic gas and mass graves, but there's really not much complexity to chew on here.

I don't hate the game, I just kind of wish it were a bit more autistc.

>>14237227

>flat levels

>shallow gameplay with little complexity

>basically shallow dwarf fortress that calls itself finished

Garbage. It is as deep as minecraft.

>>14238514

How do you make sure your retarded colonists don;t brain themselves on the traps? I tried using them on my first base, and after they did more damage to me than the raiders I never touched them again.

>>14237227

>The game is finally nearing release

Let me translate that for you:

>the developer is finally losing interest in continuing development

>>14238521

I came here to inanely post "muh z levels" but you beat me to it.

i still have 1.8 installed and haven't bothered playing it because i can't be assed to get mods for it

>>14239046

tynan pls go

>>14238928

Another way to do it is to have the traps along one side, and then you pave that side with a floor, and put a stone chunk or plant a tree on the other side for good measure. The enemies will path on the side that is apparently more efficient to walk on.

>>14240004

holy shit I didn't even notice I just got a self-tamed thumbo.. lol wtf am I going to do with that.

>>14240014

Train it to be a hauler.

>>14240004

>that kitchen design

Brilliant, I like it.

I'm gonna steal it.

Is that a butchers table on the left? You might wanna put a door there, otherwise the blood gets everywhere and then you get food poisoning.

>>14240023

>Hauler

Thrumbo hits harder than a charged lance.

They make great combat pets.

Especially because they take a long ass time to bleedout.

>>14240087

kitchen and butcher room have doors but they are held open. this makes them separate rooms for cleanliness but still quick to move through.

>>14240097

Oh wow, I never thought about that.

so on my current run i crash landed with this pair luane and Boffin

>they crashed together luane was a night owl so i put them on the same shift together to see if i could pair them up.

> it worked, soon after they where dateing they got married all the while boffin stayed on the night shift to spend their breaks together & fuck as the sun was rising.

>a season after their marriage mechanoids attacked and luane's spine was shot out.

>Boffin stuck arround for 2 years after that

>never divorced or cheated on her. stayed on the night shift for her. always made sure she was cared for

>he died in a pirate raid when a lucky sniper round found his brain

>Luane was shortly after placed in a captured cyro sleep casket by the remaining colonists

>half a year later that casket was raided by pirates

>she has not been heard from since

>>14240428

update I've got a ransom demand for luane 1,055 silver for a spined out colonist

Dubs decides

>>14240646

Do it for the Boffin.

>>14240753

> still no z-levels

> still

Z Levels were never and have never been planned you triple dipped nigger

>>14240753

Though you're absolutely right that the character models suck dick. I've been thinking of finding a programmer to work with to implement 3D characters and later animals. That would be after 1.0 drops though.

>>14237255

Is there a way to harvest the green Tiberium crystals for the Tiberium Research Station, without getting Tiberium Sickness? For some reason, even with Tib Protection Suits, my colonists still get the illness.

>>14241612

>even with Tib protection suits, my colonists still get the illness.

WEW lad. well I think it's chance based mostly so send someone in who's pretty fast or shoot the tib from afar

>>14243243

no I meant getting the sickness in general, I haven't actually tried to use the tib suit yet since I'm still trying to figure out how to not die horribly

>>14239168

Bist du behindert?

>>14243259

getting tib sickness just generally from tib*

>>14243243

You realize he's talking about a mod, right?

>>14244362

You'd think he'd realize something as obvious as the fact that Tiberium isn't in this game.

Oh well, I never understood what drives a man to be an idiot on the internet.

>>14244362

just screen shot it so later use in theses threads

>>14244578

A hundred hours of entertainment for free or what $20? Still cries like a man child, holy fucking shit people are cancer.

>>14244642

its not so much (for me at least) that its a bad game but simply alot of wasted potential.there is fucking code for animal pregnacy but that never happens unless its a tamed animal. deer don't have fawns every year. rabbits dont breed to everywhere and preadators if left alone will eat every animal on the map and then go after eachother/your colonists. even the fucking grass dies each winter so it has to spread from the edges every fucking year. only to die again before it can reach the middle only to try again next year. (he knows grass goes dormant under snow right?) that herbivors that are native to places that snow in the winter are capable of foraging for food in the snow right? nah he got it working "good enough" and then left it be all while adding new stupid shit like hats and a global map that barely works.

>>14244695

>that never happens unless its a tamed animal

> preadators if left alone will eat every animal on the map

There’s a mod which flips that switch.

>even the fucking grass dies each winter so it has to spread from the edges every fucking year.

There’s a mod which makes plants grow from everywhere.

>>14244642

No, seriously, go back to fixing your game.

>>14244727

I'm actually a fan of rimworld but the "mods can fix it" mentality pisses me off. Rimworld is broken, it needs a whole hell of a lot more work before it's a finished game but that doesn't mean it's not fun as it is so far. still wont catch me playing it without mods but you get the idea

>>14244730

>>14244727

are you bi-polar?

>>14244749

I'm just going to point this out. But gamer tend to go crazy if they don't have mod support and if that mod support give them everything they want they say it's only playable because of mods.

>>14244362

>is an anencephalic turboautist

Yes, he is. >>14244869

>>14244931

he's not me tbh

>>14244180

I start with tiberium infusions on the nod scenario frequently lad so it just works on my machine.

Im waiting on his big overhaul patch to see where he takes things right now, apparently NOD raids have flame tanks and avatars, GDI has wolverines and mammoths but ive never seen the mammoth yet.

>>14245449

i think i avoid a lot of it because i prefer small comfy colonies and micromanaging. wish there was a "take to nearest valid stockpile" option though.

>>14237227

>The game is finally nearing release after 5 fucking years hooray!

So it's another case of "Yeah, we're never gonna finish this, but here have a 1.0 version number!" ?

>>14240753

>i remember early dev diaries talking about the colonists figures would get replaced and changed over time and that their similarity to Prison Architect was only temporary

I remember that note you nigger,

and if I remember correct, the models weren't similar, they were actually the same, the Rimworld dev borrowed it, and the PA devs were alright with it

the models very likely have been updated a long hell time ago, but you're a triple faggot if you're complaining from such a cosmetic thing like that

>>14244930

>too stupid to comprehend what was written

>can’t do anything but project his own subjectivist worldview onto others

What’s your actual problem with what I posted?

>>14237227

anon, I've been out of the loop, can you tell me what have been the major updates in the latest versions?

>>14247884

Define ‘latest versions’. We got some new cave stuff (taken from a mod) in 18, as well as schedules for pawns (tell them to do something, hold shift, tell them to do something else and they’ll do both; you can keep chaining it). Before that we got some roads and… whatever the fuck else came in 17. You can just read the version change logs on their site.

>>14247869

i use https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1099792464 so i can tell who's nude and who's wearing tan clothes. and it looks better.

>>14247960

Oh hey, that’s nice and makes sense. I’ll have to grab it.

>>14247869

Weird; I always thought it was the other way around, particularly since PA runs like utter shit.

>>14247789

set each of your stockpile priorities correct.

to avoid stuff like, pawn putting food and taking food from the back of some huge freezer simply make 3 stockpiles. the closest to the door highest priority, the one in the back lowest priority. maybe make an overflow stockpile somewhere on the lowest priority.

>pawns will instantly stop fucking around.

>>14247850

1.0 is literally just a number. it's been a playable game for years much like Terraria with it's constant post-release development.

>>14247869

mods fix that, fucking choose your flavor of pawn, literally the lowest fucking priority ever.

>>14247884 version 17-18 introduced–

rivers, caves, roads that exist on the local and world maps.

new quests that require you to fetch, kill, deliverer, find, rescue on the world map.

new op items that you can acquire and make. (you can now make shield belts), but some other things like new artifact weapons.

so when do your colonies collapse?

is it when you hit 14 colonists and 8 prisoners from your last raid and suddenly your freezer is empty?

Or when your muffalow heard hits the point where you cant feed them over the winter do to hay sortage?

Your favored craftsman suddenly not having eyes do to some spider rat?

or when all of that shit happens at the same fucking time.

>>14249225

More often than not it ends up being that the colonists just outright stop eating food, or lack all access to completely accessible food items.

Or I'll purposely build everything out of wood, a raid will happen which will take one or two colonists, then a fire, and without enough colonists to fight the fire, everything will burn forever and rain will never come.

>>14249225

Encountered my first tornado and it cut a zigzagging path point to point destroying all of my power sources, batteries and wood stockpiles in the middle of a heatwave+siege. On the bright side the siege failed because they all died of heatstroke too.

>>14247960

Of course there's no file outside the workshop… Guess I get to not have it.

>>14249306

nice base, how much of it is under thick roof out of curiosity?

>>14249150

>>14249292

oh yeah I forgot tornadoes, that got added in 17 or 18..

>>14249588

it would take five times as long to bury the lines then it's worth as you would also have to dig them back up again just to repair them tbh

>1.0 is literally just a number.

Yeah, that's exactly my point. They're not going to make it a decent game, they're just going to say it's 1.0 so they can abandon it.

>>14250213

because i could 3x10 gives a barren room a moderately impressive look with stone walls and smoothed floors. and a walk that is only at most 25 blocks to the grand hall was planing to expand the couples rooms to be 7x10 but… didn't seem necessary for the mood buff and the prison proper has been pushed back in construction to the point where i've gotten used to it being there.

as an update a cold snap fallowed by toxic fallout made me kill all 21 muffalow i've been running. and the last infestation took out the last eye of my artist. for the last 3 years my beacon has been running there have been no bionic eyes available.

You misunderstand, anon. Rimworld is fun as fuck as it is. I was just stating ways it could be improved from an objective standpoint.

There's nothing that's ever been created that can't be improved in a thousand different ways. Even the best thing you've ever experienced is flawed as fuck, because perfection does not and can not ever exist.

So that's how I look at everything. No matter how much I like something, I always try to find ways it could be better.

>>14250331

The other guy got it better than you did.

Anyone here using pregnancy mods? Which ones?

I'm concerned that either I went overboard or I'm running the wrong ones and getting no pregnancies as a result.

Currently running Children&Pregnancy for some of it's mechanics, Children&Parenting&Learning for the whole "school" aspect of it, it seems a cool way to teach skills, and Rimjobworld to actually make the kids.

The problem is that all 3 of these mods implement their own "children" mob and I'm not sure how compatible this would be at all.

To make matters worse, there's now an addon for Alien Framework to allow for other race's pregnancy, as long as their creators also make the child versions of them (but I'm not sure anyone has done so yet).

apini fucking WHEN

>>14255904

Children&Pregnancy will make the kids using the vanilla game fucking mechanic. Rimjobworld always PREVENTED children for me.

>>14255904

Rimjobworld should be compatible with Children & Pregnancy, but the mod page makes no note of the other one. Have you not been able to make kids or something?

>>14255939

>>14256347

Didn't the creator of Rimjobworld made it uncompatible with Children&Pregnancy to prevent pedophilia scenarios in the game or some shit?

Children&Pregnancy is vanilla, right? to be found in the regular community.

>>14256510

Sure is.

https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=28747.0

>>14256510

It used to be the other way around, C&P would crash the game if it detected RJW. It did the same with the alien races mod too, since the mod author considered both mods "degenerate". But that got changed a long time ago.

I never got around to upgrading to B18, so I'm using older versions of RJW and C&P, but I know the A17 version of RJW had deliberate integration of C&P functionality, and I don't think it's changed management since. The B18 version removed C&P integration but that was also the compatibility fix for B18, so it may have just not worked at the time. It's been a while since RJW updated IIRC.

And both A17 and B18 version have a simplified pregnancy system anyway even if you don't have C&P, so the pedophilia claim doesn't make sense.

>>14257536

>It used to be the other way around, C&P would crash the game if it detected RJW. It did the same with the alien races mod too, since the mod author considered both mods "degenerate". But that got changed a long time ago.

has pol shitposted too fucking hard

>>14257536

vanillia doesn't even allow couples to form outside of maybe 5 years age difference. that is a fucking shame when your pawns go up to 80ish years old.

leon and matilda mod when?

Does this game add anything DF doesn't have already? I was really disappointed with how shallow DF was after getting over it's god awful control scheme.

>all these people who make bases inside a mountain and then make the walls to the outside one thick when you could've made it 4-5 or even 10

for what purpose

>>14256510

>>14257536

>>14258779

Yeah, it caused a decent shitstorm in the modding community for having the gall to add DRM to a fucking mod. The author is pretty notorious on the forums for being a prick, I wouldn't doubt he's a /pol/lack. He causes a lot of shit on the forums, last I heard he almost got banned for calling a furry a zoophile.

>>14258901

If you hate DF's shallowness you're going to love the lack of z levels. Jokes aside it has actual fucking graphics and mouse control, so there's always that.

>>14257536

>C&P would crash the game if it detected RJW.

>>14259167

>he almost got banned for calling a furry a zoophile.

I'm loving this guy.

>>14259009

>for what purpose

Beta Poly has 250000 HP per square and is crazy hard to make, so I don't need a thicker wall. Unless it would help with temperature, but I don't know how that works.

>>14258901

kek

>>14259195

so I don't need a thicker wall

double thick walls will help keep in heat/cold, significantly enough to be worth it while triple walls don't do enough to justify them.

>>14257536

So now you can have C&P and the alien races and be able to create horrible mutants?

>>14258901

Squad management is a lot easier, battles play out more like an RTT than DF does.

Electrical power is a much deeper mechanic than power in DF.

The Medical part of the game is much more fleshed out, you don't just set up an hospital and keep it stocked, you can also perform several surgeries on a whim, extract and replace both organs and limbs, administer drugs and add implants.

Inventory Management is also much easier since you can direct someone to just wield or wear something.

You can direct someone to do something in specific so priority tasks are handled faster.

Raids aren't just based around how much wealth you have but also on how many people you have or recently lost, being attacked in Rimworld is a lot more interesting than in DF.

You can actually move out of your location, either with trading caravans or raiding parties, and visit other factions.

Your colonists have a lot more personality to them, instead of a lot of irrelevant fluff text that barely does anything.

>>14259817

Eh… No.

Children will still be born a specific race, either the father or the mother (I believe RJW lets you specific which or use odds for it)

You want freaky abominations, get GeneticRim instead.

>>14260062

>GeneticRim

Tell me more.

>>14252423

Cats eat corpses so change their allowed area so it includes your corpse freezer and does not include your drugs stockpile.

Second part is most important. The cats won't do anything important but nuzzle your colonists which makes them happy.

>>14250605

>They're not going to make it a decent game, they're just going to say it's 1.0 so they can abandon it.

There are no decent games. There never were. Nothing is good enough for me, for I have high standards.

A true good game would do my taxes and give me a blowjob.

>>14260182

It's a mod that lets you harvest genomes from animals and breed Alpha versions of them (bigger, faster, better) or combine them to make horrible mutations.

You can also combine them with colonists for freaky arms and legs.

Bonus: You can combine this with some Dinosaur mod if you ever wanted to give tiny t-rex hands to a colonist… OR

You can combine this with the Call of Cthulu mods and make abominations with your abominations.

Basically, your Elder Things will go "Hey dawg, so I heard you like abominations, so we placed an abomination on your abomination so you can abominate while you abominate".

>>14260990

>How good mountain bases work on practice?

After trying it once I've never done anything but mountain bases. Just read up on infestation and how to counter it and you're golden.

>>14260990

Let's put it this way: Tynan came up with the Infestation as a way to nerf mountain bases, that's how good they are.

You pretty much only have to defend a single entrance (unless you make more), you got amazing insulation from cold and heat and managing temperature is really easy.

Sapper and mortars aren't gonna make a hole through your walls for raiders to come in either.

Only issues are just lack of indoor farming until you get hydroponics or make a fancy farm with a hole to the sky, and maybe longer times getting out. And the infestations, of course.

I forgot what it was, but there's a mod for terraforming that lets you "build" water tiles. I think it was Fertile Fields, which should also help setting up a farm indoors with rich soil.

>not a bunch of square rooms linked together mind you

That's pretty much how a regular mountain base ends up, though.

If you want to avoid that, you only have to remenber 2 very important things:

1-Redundancy: Getting around can take a long while for your colonists depending on the corridors you have, so make a lot of them for people to have multiple routes. Not only it helps with pathfinding, it makes for decent aesthetics too, especially if you make some bigger 3-wide or 5-wide corridors with decorations on it for main walkways.

2-Maintenance: You won't want to keep wires inside walls so to keep them easily within reach for mainteance (or whatever else you have modded in as well), you'll want secondary maintenance corridors that are closed of with doors and not really supposed to be used by colonists, just to pass wires around and the like.

>>14260980

Now that is something fun. Can you get dinosaur implants or eldrich implants?

>>14261034

With the granma's cooking book I've been planning to make an infestation kill box to farm insect meat to make ham. Turning meat into ham removes all debuffs associated with them, even human meat ones.

>>14261185

Read it for yourself: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=35158.0

Although it seems you can only breed a few more hybrids.

>Squad management is a lot easier, battles play out more like an RTT than DF does.

>Raids aren't just based around how much wealth you have but also on how many people you have or recently lost, being attacked in Rimworld is a lot more interesting than in DF.

These seem promising, although raids in DF weren't about wealth at all. Rather if you walled yourself in and how much you abuse broken traps (atom smasher, cage)

Are the raid calculations done purely based on the colony as a whole, or does it have "per-colonist" factors?

I was doing a colony where I had one guy start with a full set of advanced bionics, and refused to accept anyone else into the colony. Eventually my herds and their hay fields got large enough that I needed a second set of hands to deal with it all, so I used a slave mod to take someone captive to haul goods, till fields, and service passing caravaneers. That way I could get everything done without letting anyone actually join.

Before I took the slave, when I had one guy with full bionics and a set of power armor, raids ranged from 50-70 people. Now, with the game using two people for the calculations, one of whom has normal body parts and only basic clothes, raids are less than 20 tribals.

>>14238296

what?

>>14263655

There's a lot of variables. Colony size which is depending on your narrator is one only of them, there's also tech level and weapons level. Given your experience, it probably averages them out over all your colonists. If you give one person a charge rifle it doesn't change much; if you give everyone a charge rifle it does.

>>14264910

A huge lush and fertile valley surrounded by mountains is pretty much the best you can get. It has basically zero disadvantages. But that requires a lot of re-rolling, and just seems a bit too outside the spirit of the game.

>>14267860

If you pick (huge) [mountain] maps finding something like this isn't that difficult, I think it was my third roll and generally speaking every 3 maps will give you something to go with. Although this one has a bit more inside coverage than most, that fact is that it really isn't that useful because I simply did/don't need that much space. I'm literally growing trees in that space.

>>14269471

Yeah, at one point you just get to where it's not really about survival anymore. It's not "what do I really, really have to build ASAP?", it's "what would be nice to have, I guess?" Once there, the only further reason to build more is just for the sake of doing it. Do I really need to add six more solar panels so I can make two hydroponics farms growing devilstrand and hops year-round? No, I'm actually rolling in silver and resources, and have basically nothing to spend it on. But I'mma do it, anyway.

Unfortunately, that point in the game comes where you really haven't needed to fill very much of the map.

So… how big can you set a map before the game get issues? especially if you are planning in having 5 colonies.

>>14271680

How many colonists do you have? I never go over 5 and my infestations are like 3-5 bugs at best.

Also if you know where they're going to spawn like in your case or in mine when I made a decoy room for it just make the room big enough to not aggro them from the door and put wood blocks in the room, throw a molotov at them and close the door.

>>14271680

Rimworld Science on you tube says that you need(ed) six titles to spawn an infestation.

Also even with 15 colonists I've never seen that big of an infestation.

*God hates you*

>>14271712

7-8, I think it was. Do you play on extreme?

>>14271717

This was definitely one solitary overhead mountain tile. I know because I went back and checked all the rooms because I thought I'd been sure to only mine thin roofs and found just one overhead tile by a back wall.

It spawned one hive on that tile and the rest on non-overhead tiles around the room.

>>14271734

Pretty sure I'm not playing on extreme, I dont remember what difficulty I chose but I usually go with normal in any game.

>>14271737

I migrated to extreme as things became too easy once I learned the game.

It's generally challenging and punishing enough to be interesting except when it comes to infestations. They're already point-for-point as or more powerful than the strongest raids, and on top of this they're all durable heavy melee who spawn all over the inside of your base, often including on top of sleeping, sick or even just moving pawns, as even then you often don't have time to get them before the bugs aggro and maim/kill half your colony with its pants down.

I think some of the textures in here are from that mod, but others are different. Not like it makes too much difference unless you're looking closely.

>>14271780

iv'e had luck with simply having a larger underground base that seems to "distribute" the bugs better than having some micro base under the mountain. but in my last play threw there was a ancient danger that was a massive 15x15 room that was part way under a mountain that i initially used as a prison for muh Impressive barracks bonus for prisoners. but i swear to god i got a good 3 infestations in that one room a year. basically ended up butchering prisoners trapped in there with them as i got the Crew in there to stop them. kinda want to try to make a bee hive the next play threw if you know what i mean

>>14272257

It's at that "feature complete and if you mod the shit out of it you won't even notice" stage so you might as well pirate and try now.

>>14276530

is it buggy? that's why I usually wait

>>14276678

I haven't played current ver but there are usually very few bugs, major or minor. The only one I can immediately recall is them trying to incorporate a modder's (volunteered) pathing improvement and accidentally breaking pathing over long distances (pawns will zigzag a bit), but I assume that'll be fixed by next ver.

I do know that last ver added a tornado event that is unavoidable and pretty bullshit RNG destruction. Dev regrets it and says it'll be removed, but you can very easily remove it by just disabling it during game creation, so it's not a significant issue.

>>14276678

It's not that buggy, it's just contentless and boring after two hours.

>>14276678

I haven't encountered any that I can name. Everything runs pretty smoothly but when your base starts getting really big it can lag pretty bad. This is generally when it's well past the soft caps on population limits the default story teller has though.

I only play randy which doesn't have any caps but when you're really kicking and an entire tribe decides to genocide itself against your turrets it can freeze for several seconds while it loads in what feels like 100 enemies.

>>14276695

This is fun, really making things a bit harder when you don't start with no food whatsoever and the first bits of research are done with a camp fire that runs out of fuel really fast.

Can someone give list of good mods for this game or should I wait for ludeon to stop development for this game and complete mod made after that?

>>14299032

the mod author clearly put a bit of thought and whatnot into all this but there are some major flaws with the current release

>blossom trees are supposed to be a forgiving type of tiberium, you can put down some stone floors three wide to wall it off

>it makes green tiberium chunks when it touches stone chunks which eventually decay into green tib, infesting your map wildly

So much for forgiving. frankly i'm thinking I ought to enable a spread limit on the tiberium from the source in the mod options, but we will see what changes in 1.0 since hes planning a huge release.

Yes, you don't know what statistics are. Thanks for confirming.

FUCKING LOL "They aren't real and even if they were they wouldn't mean anything!"

>If you had a statistic that told you 8% of newborns were gay, would you advocate for a law that sees every 8 newborns in 100 to be thrown into an oven?

I would simply know the "statistic" was faked, as the people behind the "10%" lie have publicly admitted they made it up. Faggots represent roughly 0.8% of the population.

>they absolutely NEVER give you neither solutions

Thanks for asserting something that no one questioned. Most of the rest of your post is exactly the same sort of statement.

>>14318488

>Researching is a boring as fuck way to unlock techs. Forcing your whole colony to do nothing to unlock more stuff to build

Unless you're building a research bench for everyone and assigning research as their most important task, you're not "forcing your whole colone to do nothing".

There's plenty you can do with the default starting tech, research is meant to be a long term goal to slowly unlock new things when you have a base up and going.

>Your colonists are idiots and can't figure anything out for themselves. They are lobotomized Dwarves.

On the controrary, they actually can do a lot of stuff just by themselves, unless you mean the fact they don't work autonomously unless you tell them to. Try and turn off jobs for dwarves and see how much they do as well then.

>They are also all ticking timebombs since the game is "designed" to have everyone spiral into a tantrum

Yes, they have needs you have to manage, this isn't new in these types of games, what about it?

Colonists are actually quite resilient to shit, especially when you start do to extra positive buffs (that you shouldn't need later on) and even when in the shitter, they still take some time to flip.

And even when they flip out, instead of going around and killing people thus actually causing the spiral tantrum that happens in DF, there's plenty of other shit that can happen that's not as penalysing for you.

>Combat is stupid without mods

It's a squad based RTT, what do you think is stupid about that? And by the way, which mods are you adding? Currently I'm using Simple Sidearms and Supression.

The only annoying thing is that it's a task that they only do if there is nothing else they could be doing so you better have them disabled for cleaning and mining and shit

You do know that in vanilla there are four levels of priority you can set, right? It's not just checked or unchecked. Set cleaning to lower priority than research.

Also cleaning [2] research [3] is a pretty good idea but you will research at half the time, bases are always dirty.

The newest version of Facial Stuff that you have to download from github has Rayman floating hands and feet. Its still a bit buggy with weird shit like pawn's hands and feet being above their head when sleeping. Limbs also disappear when a pawn can no longer walk so if you don't feel like tracking notices it can help at a glance. Until 1.0 hits and someone decides to do something about pawn sprites its going to be the best you can get for now.

These are all simple quality-of-life mods. Anything more interesting you should look for for yourself.

>Allow Tool

Adds a few useful tools. Haul+ is the most useful, which allows you to set the selected item to be hauled urgently.

>Basic Bridges + Fishing

Allows you to build bridges and fish off them. Basic bridges can only be walked on, more expensive bridges can be built on.

>Designator Shapes

Instead of lines or filled rectangles, lets you draw shapes like circles or empty rectangles. Useful if you autistically plan your base ahead of time. Good combined with More Planning.

>Miniaturization

Substantially increases the number of furniture types that can be uninstalled, put into storage, and reinstalled.

>More Planning

Gives you many different colors of planning squares, instead of just grey.

>Notification Archiver

Archives notifications, both the envelopes on the left and the short messages in the top right.

>More Trait Slots

Allows you to set the maximum number of traits as high as 9, and adjusts the character card to make them visible.

>Smooth Stone Walls

Rough stone walls can be smoothed, similarly to floors.

>Simple Sidearms

Lets you equip colonists with backup weapons, especially to have both ranged and melee weapons. Extremely useful against animals.

>Stack MergerColonists and animals set to do haul jobs will also combined small stacks of a given item within stockpiles to the maximum size, preventing the annoying situation of having five stack of 3 rice each taking up precious freezer space.

>Show Me Where

Toggleable colored overlay showing soil fertility and land buildability.

>>14346768

Really depends on what you want, but I don't play without combat enhanced anymore because vanilla combat is really shallow and boring.

>>14346550

Thought the random death chance only applies to non-colonists and animals.

I know that pain hitting 100% is instant death for all creatures, which is why I recommend using a mace, more likely to break one of their legs even when they are berserk and sometimes might not fall down even at the typical 80% pain threshold. Also the mace seems to have a pretty low chance of outright destroying body parts.

Non-bionic unarmed looks to be somewhat better with frail people but seems like there is a slightly higher chance of hitting 100% pain over a mace.

>>14346490

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass. I'd get rid of him outright if he wasn't the best with a gun in the entire colony.

>>14346768

I'd recommend fluffy breakdowns, because having things constantly needing repair makes a lot more sense than things just breaking randomly for no reason (even if they're not being used or even if they're NOT POWERED). I also use rt fuses because wires randomly exploding in the walls is a pain in the fucking ass, and playing without using batteries is basically impossible.

Really, I detest random failures that you can do nothing about. Makes sense for the early-game, but something catastrophic that happens randomly, and you can never do anything about it, is just artificial difficulty.

>>14347083

I just modified the wire framework to never explode, because what the fuck kind of retardation is that. It’s 5500 AD, do they expect us not to know that shielded wiring exists?

>>14347083

Before it was easy to just have a battery backup when a short happens but with power slowly draining from sitting batteries now have to use two banks, alternating between them every few days at least.

>>14347131

It makes more sense for a battery itself to explode than some random wiring.

I want a relationship mod where I can play as space Mormons and assign wives as I see fit.

>>14347131

Considering they seem to be making the power lines out of bare steel scraped from rocks, it's a wonder it doesn't malfunction more often. That said, it would make sense if there were a modified wire you could make later on that doesn't fail.

>>14347195

Got a mod to help with this a bit. RT switches, which will automatically flick a switch if it detects a power failure. I have a small separate power network with a few batteries connected to some chemfuel generators, that I fire up every once in a while to keep the batteries close to topped off. If there's a power failure due to a short, the switch connecting them automatically trips, allowing those spare batteries to power the network long enough to get through the night. It spares me having to send a pawn running all the way the fuck over there to flick the switch, which could be catastrophic if it's during the middle of a raid or some shit.

AFAIK if you uninstall batteries so they're put in a crate in a stockpile, they hold their charge forever. Of course, you have to get a pawn to reinstall them in order for the network to go back online, which takes time.

>>14347861

It happened once or twice but I don't remember what I did to fix it. Probably just revert to previous save.

>>14347861

no, played colonies past 10 years, never saw this before, but I don't use mods. I do however play on largest map size

>>14347861

I've only had that happen with the world map, and reloading the save usually fixed it, if only temporarily.

>>14348881

it looks like the graphic card is out juice, if it happens after a long period of play on an older machine, try rebooting. ~It vaguely reminds me of an error I had on other games when I was still poor.

>>14348932

I meant I've seen this shit happen in other games not that it matters to much, but I haven't seen it happen in rimworld. Of course I'm not running a toaster.

>>14347861

I had that happen to me when trying to give "the forgotten" tiberium infusen in the Tiberium rim/factions mods

>>14348709

>>14348833

>>14348881

>>14349834

It isn't a graphics card, since it works when I load a previous save, it just happens randomely then I have to load an earlier save. It's just annoying to lose progress randomly but it seems other people have this problem as well, so hopefully it gets fixed. The weirdest thing is that when I pause the game then the grey screen goes away but when I start it, then it comes back and it applies to the world map too. I don't know what it is but if it doesn't stop then at least I can still play the game since the screen works while paused. My guess would be something where it assumes that it is clicked out of the screen, since when you click out of the game then the screen goes black, but if I find a fix I will post it here.

>>14350285

I've been having this (rarely) for some two years so I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix

>click out of game screen goes black

What's a good way to secure a good food supply? Since all my colonies end in either the game breaking or my colonists starve to death.

>>14358936

farming on 30/60 or greater growing season.

supplemented by animals you need to kill to make clothes anyways or just anything that gets close to camp. except unicorns.. also don't be afraid to spend money, the first couple years I usually buy what I can from traders.

the only reason i don't play this game is because it doesn't have Z levels

>>14359530

that's why you don't play chess too am'rite?

>>14358936

For a single colonist to eat around 3 simple meals made from potatoes grown within a 30 day period over a whole 60 day year, about 22 plants are required and you can easily have a surplus with that many over a whole growing season. You can then cut that in half and supplement with animal meat to have yearround fine meals.

>>14360426

Sorry, it should be around 45 plants for simple meals.

>>14358936

after doing

>>14358985

ultimately you want hydroponics. as soon as you have enough stable power and tech you can grow so much rice in a hydroponic room that you will fuck off once in a while to cotton/smoke/healplant because your stockpile is full and you can't hold any more rice on your base.

>>14360426

>>14360435

Oh right, and then to save against constant labor, cut those numbers into thirds (7/15) to grow over that 30 day period. That's better then for making fine meals reliably.

>>14358936

Start in Arid Shrublands. Pick wild agave.

Agave in rich soil is the most efficient food crop in the game.

>3 day base growing period

>10 fruits per harvest

>harvesting only drops it to 30% growth, while most crops need work to replant and start at 5%

The obvious downside is that you can't plant it manually. That means it won't usually end up in rich soil and won't reach the full efficiency potential, you can't control how much of it you get, and you have to tell the colonists to harvest manually.

Still, my current colony of five people is making a surplus solely from the ~60 agave plants that happened to be within my outer wall. Then there's that many again close by that I could be harvesting, plus add in elephant hunting and food supply is easy even for a large colony.

If you're using the megafauna mod, right now arthropleura lay 3 eggs on average, fully mature in 12 days after hatching and produce around 190 meat when butchered. They also make good pack animals and bullet sponges due to their large bodies and innate damage resistance.

The downside is that its insect meat and the egg lay process and hatching can take awhile to get off the ground if you're only starting with a pair. Making fine meals at least should offset the mood debuff somewhat.

Also consider using nutrient paste if you're really struggling and at least get some electricity but colonists can tell if you use human or insect meat in the paste, making the mood debuff far worse.

I'm having a lot of fun with megafauna, right now trying to raise an titanis army for defense and assaulting places but the project ran into a problem. I forgot to zone out my yayo stash, half of them are addicted to psychite and suffering occasional violent break without the drug.

At least they run really fast while high, mauling the retreating retards who tried digging into my base.

>toxic fallout

brb starving to death lmao

>4 years in

>No hydroponics

Only way is to devour the weak now.

So I downloaded this game and gonna play it for the first time, how much in terms of autism I have to learn to not die like a bitch?

>>14367535

Not much really.

You just gotta figure out how to do a decent freezer room to stockpile food, how to setup a perimeter against invasions and how to work priorities for your pawns.

Everything else comes along afterwards but don't expect to have things go smoothly the first times you play.

I like to play elona as well so having a bad start isn't a deterrent

any mods to make going berserk a little more reasonable?

surviving on an ice sheet is impossible without cannibalism, and everyone seems to hate it

i get raided, 1 of my 3 collonists goes berserk while i'm preparing my defense

i'm just about to harvest rice near a geyser and someone goes berserk and kills half the people

even in the best conditions they just casually go and set fire to the entire base when they're the only ones who can firefight

>impossible without cannibalism, and everyone seems to hate it

You need more Psychopaths in your life, Anon.

>even in the best conditions they just casually go and set fire to the entire base

You need less Pyromaniacs in your life, Anon.

For these reasons, you might want to look up the More Traits mod so you can have more shit than just "lol, fire", but more importantly the "We are all mad here!" mod.

It's a nifty little thing that will eventually make everyone in your colony a Psychopath unless they have some conflicting trait like Kind or similar. The rate at which they turn depends on their mood and other factors so in your case, they'll likely flip the second they eat long pork again, making life in the cold much easier.

You might also try your luck with Tribal Essentials or Medieval Times for a better early game, though I dunno how much it will actually help.

Medieval Times has some content specifically for cold biomes actually, and you may even end up building igloos with ice and snow.

I forgot, but there's also a mod that was made by some jap regarding butchering human corpses. "Butcher reduction" or similar. What it does is that the mood penalty for chopping people up is only applied to those inside the same room as the butcher (and the butcher, obviously) so you could have a "back room" where your only psychopath or unlucky pawn goes do his thing.

It's not so much a bad start as in a "this won't go anywhere anymore" situations, at which point you'll likely have to start over again (which fortunnaly isn't as terrible as Elona). There's a good amount of stuff that you'll learn with practice and next time you play, it won't screw you as hard, however the first time it does, it will likely break your game.

For instance, I mentioned the freezer room (just a big room with a freezer on the wall to regulate the temperature down to -20ºC) because of stockpiling food for winter, obviously. However one thing that can happen during summer is a heat wave that will see everyone overheating a lot. A cool room for people to hang out even if just for some minutes will help mitigate this entirely, if being quite wastefull however.

Same thing with injuries, where a single scrap will seem like no big deal, but if it gets infected, you'll get to spend several hours watching your pawn die, unable to do anything about it because you haven't setup a proper hospital and you don't have actual medicine yet either, while simply suturing the wound ASAP with good job priorities would be much more trivial.

Once you learn all these things, the game actually becomes a bit boring so you'll go full degenerate with modding to add a lot more crap to keep in mind and tweak some of that shit out.

Hey how do you level up handling consistently, I have a smal pack of rats since I don't know other way

>>14373128

Train everything and also having wool or milk animals helps.

So I have the 18.1722 version, what mods are good to go with it? Tried checking nexus but most are outdated, looking mostly for guns because why not

>>14379362

Project armory is pretty good if you are looking for guns, also check the ludeon forums for mods since the majority of them will have download links in the description. But otherwise just use what >>14346875 said.

>>14369117

Whenever there's a very large fire, the game automatically triggers rain.

It's a safety measure Tynan included because fires were so demanding in terms of performance, so rain puts them out if they get too hot for your CPU.

>>14379474

I've downloaded project armory from nexus but guns have no models so I guess it was an old version, which site you recommend to get mods from?

>>14379630

Yeh I was looking at it already, thanks anyways

>cloning mod

>barely survive for years

>eventually have so many turrets that nothing can get close to my base

>multiple research benches

>finally manage to research cloning

>"cloning only occurs when the registered pawn dies"

well that was a waste of time

my colonists are already pretty much safe, i wanted to expand
