Its with a mod or two, but the mods he's talking about aren't major game changers. You can still make human hats and sell body parts, though the stomach shenanigans require a mod.

I got a prisoner who was not so eager to join my colony so I finally said 'gently caress it, chopping you up lady'. We managed to get her arm off before running out of medicine. During the intervening time she decided to join! So I gave her back her arm. I'm surprised there isn't a massive penalty to relations for 'chopped my arm off you fucker!'

During the intervening time she decided to join! So I gave her back her arm. One of the planned changes is to introduce colony-wide mood penalties for such acts as harvesting organs from POWs. Turning prisoners into games of Operation with half the pieces missing, while expedient, is hardly going to engender confidence in your magisterial governance. Maybe later down the road, it'll force raiders to think twice about warring with you - they're not going to want to lose against a colony with such an aggressive "waste-not-want-not" policy.

Tias posted:How do you protect it? No roof zone with turrets around it or what? I don't put it outside the compound, but I do surround it with turrets and make it difficult for them to leave, with (later in the game) a couple more turrets outside the 'kill'/trade room (without roof, obviously) to make survival very, very difficult for them even if they're able to escape. Generally speaking it's only the siege invasions and the AI drop ships (that drone if you leave them too long) that give me any kind of trouble, and not even all that much. I usually just send three or so snipers to take them off one by one until they get fed up and charge the base if they're not AI, at which point I retreat my people and my turrets at the entrance take care of the rest. If they're AI I just go all out, but at that point I usually have 4 or so snipers, a bionic minigun guy and a couple of powersuited people to tank the hits. This is a couple of games ago, and pretty bad, but it does show the basic setup:  It was at the bottom of the map, so all the enemies spawned north having to go through that narrow gap between my base and the water. The wood floor left them no cover at all and the turrets took care of everything. In my newer games there were more turrets and the distance they had to cover was even larger so that even their snipers couldn't take cover. That couple hundred wood and 500ish metal the setup cost is really worthwhile, especially when you consider that most confrontations didn't even need my colonists to intervene, except to repair the turrets afterwards. If this were a game now, I would've probably surrounded my stockpile there with 4 or 5 turrets and put a wall between it and the (mostly filled) potato field there. I also would've put a couple of turrets covering the exit from the stockpile. Perhaps a wall and bunker or two so that I could've covered it properly with colonists in an emergency.

Can someone explain Minami a bit to me? So I loaded up a new game and I took refuge in a cave and rebuilt the compact research terminal. But now I have a bunhc of items that landed with me (beacon, tools) and a terminal I don't know how to use and I can't really build anything else. I waited several days but nothing jumped out....

Start researching. The terminal you deconstructed and rebuilt servers as a research bench, so you use it to get the basics really quickly (first item only takes 30 clicks/points/whatever) which all branch off into new, increasingly useful stuff. Don't forget to deconstruct the pods you landed in, because those'll give you some essential tools. Once you start researching it should all become clear, though, just start with Rimworld for Dummies and go from there.

I don't think you can actively make a colonist research (it says something about it being a long-term task when you try). Just turn off all the jobs but research on one of your colonists and they'll automatically use the terminal like they would the research benches in vanilla.

 This is how you harvest people. Then you can either sell the farm fast, or grab one more optional organ. I didn't get the left leg though, since it was shot off during capture. Tax write off.

I just bought a bionic arm and sold a bunch of resources to a slave trader, but I think they sent me slag chunks. Is that really in the game? Did I gently caress something up?

Slag chunks happen when something falls from orbit, or when something metal gets damaged. Traders as far as I know won't screw you out of your order.

Yep, I'm sure. I just made another purchase but saved beforehand and the first time I did end up with yet another slag chunk which I suspect was another bionic part. When I reloaded I made the exact same purchase and the stuff landed somewhere else in my stockpile with the bionic leg intact. Is there something wrong with my setup? There's three beacons in total but everything seems to arrive on top of the one I have highlighted.

Neuro trainers get much, much more mileage when the recipient in question has a passion for the trade the neuro trainer deals with. All that untapped potential is unleashed like a torrent!

For people reading the thread and who are still on the fence about buying: It's not a concentration camp or gulag simulator by design. The whole game is just so well made that running death camps can come up as part of the emergent gameplay. Let's say you have all these corpses and POWs after a raid on your base and you are on the brink of starvation and half your crew is dying from infected gunshot wounds in the burned out hospital room. There is just no way to feed everyone. You gotta do what you gotta do, right? Well why not just take out the organs before you bury them, they won't need them were they are going and it will save lives. It a slippery slope. Eating human flesh is not a central part of the game, just something that's not strictly forbidden by the game engine. You do what you want with that realization.

It's a lot like DF in that regard. Only you can actually tell your colonists what to do so you have more direction over whether they are cannibal nutcases or not, dwarf fortress just tends to either do it or not. Edit: Updated the OP a little, added a bunch of choice comments by thread posters, the extra links suggested earlier, I can't really think of a better blurb than the one I've already written, I'll check it again for accuracy once the next version is released. Again if any of you have some nice colony/action pictures you'd like to replace the current ones, feel free to post them. How do I change the thread title, or do I have to badger a mod to do it? Rimworld: A Surprisingly Robust Space Cannibalism Simulator seems appropriate? OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Nov 17, 2014 |

No idea if this is causing the issue or not but maybe its due to the walls inside the drop zone? The ai chooses to drop it on a wall turning it into slag because of the collision, thats the only thing i can think off.

Today a bunch of "mysterious crates" fell from the sky in my colony. I had to open them manually to see what was inside, but before I could they opened on their own. It turns out they were full of rhinos. Lots and lots of rhinos! Kinda weird, but okay. I began making plans to domesticate the rhinos and make some sort of farm/conservation program. Only, shortly after the rhinos arrived, there was this really weird sound and a major event message showed up: "A large psychic wave has hit your area! Your colonists are fine but the local rhinos have gone mad." An army of rhinos that had moments ago been peacefully wandering my colony suddenly go berserk and begin mauling my colonists. In the hurry to draft everyone, I forgot to realize that they are probably not in the best position to fire. A raider I had converted just before the rhinos dropped from the sky "accidentally" shoots off the leg of the colonist who captured him and then goes "berserk" as well, firing on the other colonists. He's put down, but the damage is already done to both colonists and colony alike. When I strip him of his gear, it turns out everything he's wearing is rhino-leather. I think my colony was infiltrated by a loving supervillain  I assume the rhino-drop was an event added by minami mod, right? I haven't seen rhinos in game at all before this. Was the fact that they all went mad a part of the event or was it just really really bad/good timing? EDIT: A megaevent happened. There was a giant war between all of the factions happening right at my colony. It was pure insanity, with outlanders and friendly tribals charging with my troops while mortar fire rained down on them from the pirate siege camp. Most of my colonists ended up crippled or dead, with wave after wave of troops on each side arriving, turning the entire colony into a warzone. Eventually, I got a message saying that the friendly outlanders couldn't send anymore help and the pirates were sending a final assault group. As a giant army of pirates neared my colony, I figured "well, it's time to go down fighting!". A dialogue box suddenly appears saying a rescue ship has found my colonists and offers to get everyone off of the planet. I gladly accept their last-minute rescue and realize this game was money very well spent. OrangeSoda fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Nov 18, 2014 |

The rhinos might be a mod but there's an event in the vanilla game that will drive some/all animals on the map of a given species insane and make them come over to your colony and attack your people.

Rhinos are in the base game, either in the arid or desert biomes. Not sure which. The rhino drop thing is definitely a mod, though, and I'd guess the psychic pulse (which is an event in the base game) was probably also triggered by the drop.

Sadly, the cannibalism part of that won't work well if you require the corpses to produce the clones. Perhaps it's time to start kidnapping traveling groups of fools.
