I'd like some well done damage physics to come into play over the next few patches. Wound types to reflect piercing, slashing or piercing damage. Bullets or other projectiles stay stuck in the wound and require surgery to remove, some types may even leave permanent damage if removed improperly. I'd especially like stuff like broken bones or knockout blows from blunt damage, if you take a slingshot to the dome there should be a very good chance of knocking you out or at least giving you a concussion. Crank it up a notch with high tech weapons blasting off limbs (plasma bolts) and lasers doing burning damage in addition to piercing and various bullet calibers to really make things interesting. Armor piercing bullets that do less damage overall and shredding rounds that bounce off armor. Then add a bunch of weapon mods that lets you upgrade guns and apply these bullet types and other modifiers and we're going places.

For the ones that are just fill-in-the-blank variations with no C# attached, give me some examples and I'll make you a script that'll take a .csv spreadsheet and spit out relevant XML files. I'll just need to know what platform you're on (Windows/Mac/Linux/whatever).

Seeing as how a few people have edited their defs in this thread, how can I increase/decrease events like pirate raids and people joining my colony? I tried to edit the number values in the Mods/Core/Defs/IncidentDefs - BaseIncidents and it didn't seem to change anything. I actually ran into a bug where my colony of 5 years had no incidents or factions listed and the only things that happened were notifications of birthdays after years of battling it out.

I tried to edit the number values in the Mods/Core/Defs/IncidentDefs - BaseIncidents and it didn't seem to change anything. Changing the IncidentDefs numbers does affect the game, but the storyteller's progression stuff also effects event frequency. I boosted the trade ship frequency up really high to test it, and I basically had a ship available all the time, but, as my colony grew, the storyteller still made it so slave ships stopped popping up. You can actually edit their stuff in storyteller defs or something like that. In particular, you can change what the storyteller's optimal number of colonists is via a few numbers, which will increase slave ships and random events that get you colonists. From looking at it, other than Randy Random, most of the event variables for the others are based on colony size, and then your wealth or whatever affects the size of the threat when attacks come. Although I'm pretty sure the first couple of threat events are scripted, since I always get a single wild animal then a small pirate attack as my first two threats. If you want to screw with core files, I'd recommend just making a custom, personal mod that you copy-paste anything you want to screw with into, that way you'll have the core folder untouched and still be able to change things. Just make sure to keep the same folder structure copying over. Screwing with core files by changing default entries can mess up other mods that do the same, though. bobtheconqueror fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Oct 17, 2014 |

Dunno if it's particular to that TTM mod, but I just started a colony and one of the default colonists was a very neurotic (+30% work speed, +15 break threshold) android (+100 mood, +30% work speed, +0.16 move speed, -100% psi sensitivity) with no will-not-do tasks. Pretty much the ideal colonist. On that, any mods that add in custom character creation? Kind of sucks having to random through when starting a new colony, hoping to stumble on a decent mix.

Yeah, that EdB Prepare Carefully mod ( https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=6261.0 ) lets you customize your guys, from appearance to skills and passions. I saw some Let's Player use it and I had to immediately get it myself, because it's awesome. I know a lot of goons mentioned it previously in the thread, but seeing it in action really showed how great it was for getting your colony set up just so.

When I was talking about using spreadsheets to track and update weapons I was thinking of something a bit like this (untested; won't be very useful as-is for PA's one-weapon-per-file system) As I was working on it I realise the tag-based data structure doesn't really work so well with this approach, so that's an afternoon wasted.

The armory mod is kind of cool but it seems a little unnecessary, adds a lot of management and there's no good way to tell which weapons are upgrades from what you have already without checking all the stats. The variety is cool though. Shields are amazing and might be too good, I haven't lost a colonist yet and my computer started chugging from the amount of people I have running around. Right now I have almost a dozen prisoners and was running into food problems before I switched more of my hydroponics from cotton to food. My favourite colonist is Byte the researcher. He's a nudist with a mohawk and no real skill except for something like 15 in research. He's got a little research bench area set up near the geothermal plant with a bunch of lockers and a weird blue light. I figure everyone's just got used to him being naked now, it's not a big deal. I tried doing the external colonies with actual building for a while but I find digging into a mountain just seems to work better. Keeps your bedrooms safe from mortars and everything is nice and close together, which keeps things efficient.

Most of them are vaguely what you expect if you know what they are in the source, and you can generally tell upgrades based on the price. But it definitely is a bit on the spergy end. I vastly prefer that to giving every colonist an M24, LMG, or M16(or the occasional minigun) though. I completely forgot that shields had the ones that protect from bullets. I've pretty much ignored those, and only used the overhead shields that make building out in the open not a death sentence unless you rush all sieges before they start shelling you.

Just a word of warning, I installed these and it started throwing up tons of errors on login. It seemed to come entirely from the Enhanced Defense mod, and the discussion on the Ludeon forums set me right. When you install it, it seems you need to activate them in a very specific order. First deactivate everything except the Rimworld Core mod Restart Rimworld Activate only ED-Core Restart Now activate those you want. The problem I was having was the Laser Drill consuming resources, being built but then the finished construction not appearing. This fixed that.

I vastly prefer that to giving every colonist an M24, LMG, or M16(or the occasional minigun) though. I killed some mechtoids and scavenged some sort of rail rifle that has a ridiculous 40 bullet burst or something like that. I'd love a mod just full of ridiculous sci-fi weapons with weird effects, armory has some of that but there's a heck of a lot of normal assault rifles. Still an improvement over vanilla though, I agree. The shields might be a little bit too good. I have a long, narrow passage leading into the valley my base is in. At the end I have about 5 turrets and some sandbags covered by a shield. I just stick everybody behind the shield and the only time I've got close to losing people was when a huge group of tribesmen rushed me and got inside the shield. Pirate raiders have been a non-issue. Normally I'd need way more turrets. On the other hand, Randy Random has been very kind to me this playthrough. Very few raids or sieges while I was getting set up, and now my base is littered with turrets and I have like 10 mortars so sieges get wrecked really quickly. I'm having fun though, I've always like the building part of these games more than the combat.

I like including some of the Armory guns even if they are kind of out there, because they match a particular character. For instance every Commissar gets a bolt pistol . Every fighter controller gets a lasgun; every space marine gets a boltgun, every barkeeper gets a shotgun of some kind, anyone named Mal gets Vera, etc.

Then again there is fair amount of people on the rimworld forums who will just reload when someone dies or something bad happens.

It's the small scale of the game and the relative infrequency of new blood. I do that when people die in lovely ways. Like, lucky headshot just murders one of your best colonists. That part reminds me a lot of XCOM.

Being turned into paste by blanketing mortar fire isn't defeat, but rest.

Yeah reloading defeats the story building I love in this game. For instance: my farmer Draxx is buried overlooking the fields that she established and tended to after she tried to shift a mechanoid Scyther off of her lawn. I've made sure the roses by her grave are well kept as she was both a brilliant farmer and also a total bitch to everyone around her. RIP 'unpleasant conversation' moods

Sounds like it's still some kind of problem related to loading order with ED. I had Project Armory already installed, then added ED later on, and had no issues, so it's not a direct conflict. For ED, you have to activate ED-Core first (out of any ED mods; it doesn't have to be the absolute first one you do, but it does have to be the first of any ED mod). Then, if any of your ED modules have Autoloaders as a dependency, that must be the next mod you activate. Then, activate your ED modules one by one, in case you get any errors. If you screw up any of those step and start throwing errors, you have to deactivate EVERYTHING, and then start over, until you don't get any more errors.

Make sure you do the autoloader mod immediately after ED-Core, as it's also a dependency for some of the other ones. And if it still throws errors, deactivate everything (including non-ED mods), and try in-order again; the errors won't go away otherwise. Make sure that you're hitting "close" after activating or deactivating mods as well, and not just checking the box, then checking the other boxes. You have to close out of the window to fully activate or deactivate so as not to throw errors. (Isn't strictly necessary for the individual ED component mods, but it IS necessary to do after ED-Core, and again after ED-Autoloader; after that you don't necessarily need to do it unless you're getting errors, but I did it anyway just to be safe and it worked for me.) Aside from that, post on the forums with the log I guess.

Does embrasures, shields, personal shields, or laser drill require autoloaders? I'm not using the other ED mods and thought I didn't need autoloaders. The errors for Project Armory appear when ED-Core is also activated, regardless of which one I activate first. Also, quick question about laser drills, do they centre the new vent in the 4x4 area they cover? E: Also please stop repeating yourself, I only posted about my problem because I'd already followed the reccomended steps and something is still not working. I am well aware of the importance of the loading order and how to do it. EE: This is my current attempted load order, I have tried it with the ED mods last and Project Armory first and several other orders: This is what happens the moment both ED-Core and Project Armory are loaded, regardless of load order: Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Oct 20, 2014 |
