Rimfeller is basically cheating as far as chemfuel is concerned.

I thought Hygiene mod had a recent add of water need as a toggle able thing in mod options, which is why water treatment plant actually becomes of use.

Yeah it does have drinking as a need and drinking contaminated water might make you sick, though the mechanics aren't really in depth, if you have toxic fallout or put the groundwater pump next to the poo poo pipe you have a good chance of contaminating your water tower, though you can do things like isolate the tanks in the event of fallout and run off your reserve. It's not very complex though.

Asimo posted:Yeah it's absolutely cheating but I still use it a lot anyway. And having thousands of units of chemfuel in big tanks makes things hilarious if something goes spectacularly wrong. I have a pyromaniac in my colony who lit my rimfeller setup on fire. I now have firefoam poppers researched. 10/10 would recommend keeping pyromaniacs and chemfuel tanks together again.

I've used my Rimfeller setup to clear bugs. It'd actually be kinda cool if explosions had dynamic sizing based on the area they occur in. Imagine The bloom distance is based on the size of the original explosion. Fairly basic so far. Now imagine an explosion with an area larger than the space it is contained in (say, oh, a gun). The blast gets shaped, and the force is concentrated along the escape vector. In Rimworld, this doesn't happen with explosions in confined spaces. But what if it did?

The true reward of the hygiene mod is being able to reliably and consistently add a positive mood effect to everyone by giving them the squeaky clean modifier, and it doesn't feel unbalanced because of all the stuff you have to deal with to get there. Plus the AC system is cool. But secretly the best part about it all is that you get to design a fancy bathhouse. While my drug factory might be made of old wood and dirt, my colonists get to take a bath in ultimate luxury.

Fire suppression sprinklers work like poppers afaik. Not that I've ever actually had either activate, I've yet to set anything on fire unintentionally while I had those available.

The flak gun is actually a combat extended thing, which also has some manned turret options.OwlFancier posted:
CE also being what gives it ammo options and the effect of kicking up shrapnel all over the place when it explodes.

More vanilla turrets gives me the Devastator mortar, which also makes for good elephant hunting.

OwlFancier posted:Fire suppression sprinklers work like poppers afaik. They're close, but I think sprinklers slowly shrink fires the way rain does and are reusable. Poppers cause a huge mess of foam to clean up and are one-time-use, but instantly delete fires, so they're the best for your chemfuel and mortar shell storages.

They're also helpful on defensive points, given how many fire weapons get deployed in raids.

Danaru posted:poo poo considering how often by bunker catches on fire I should have thought of this long ago. The thing I was surprised by is that it wound up being most helpful for mitigating rocket launchers; after you get everyone geared up they'll usually survive the initial explosion well enough, but then they'll run around on fire and get shot to death. Instead firefoam extinguishes them instantly and they're back to shooting/stabbing assholes

Tias posted:It appears combat extended is not compatible with the latest version of RW, what am I doing wrong It does wildly change the combat and you shouldn't use it with a huge pile of guns, just pick a couple of packs you like and get their patches. I use the CE guns pack and Rimsenal and that's more than enough variety given that you need to produce ammo for stuff too. Top tip: produce AP ammo as soon as you can, and don't try fighting centipedes with anything less than a PTRS because nothing else will even scratch the bastards, they're literal robot tanks. You can, however, shoot their eyes out with enough volume of small arms fire so if you're desperate that's an option I guess. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Oct 2, 2019 |

But I think for a lot of minor stuff you can just use it. It doesn't break stuff like entirely but it might not be at all balanced with any of the CE equipment. Similarly enemies might not work properly without a patch to balance them. So I recommend using it with a limited suite of mods, ideally a few big things that have patches. It expands on the combat a lot so you'll have plenty of challenge and involvement without needing as much range of content.

Do write your impressions once you play around with it because the learning wall is... well wall shaped. The combat is absurdly lethal but there is method to it, you might find yourself reloading bullshit shots a fair bit though, especially if you fight a centipede with a charge blaster My big suggestion would be do not get shot. Which means sticking to cover like a fiend. Cover can actually block a vast number of shots if you use it right. Also be sure to read the new stats for cover and armour and firing accuracy and poo poo, because the way the calcs work is changed and it's mostly explained in the stat blocks.

I found this mod order guide very useful for wrangling a large CE modlist. This is also a good CE guide for getting started with loadouts and such.
