Yep. Properly manage stockpiles is pretty crucial. From production to eating. The less a pawn has to travel, the more time they have to put in to their actual work. A large mess hall in a central location is always useful to have, but making smaller satellite dining areas with a small stockpile of meals is handy for your miners for example. The same goes for manually setting bed ownership so that pawns will be sleeping closer to where they work, having several smaller medical rooms as opposed to one large one(I find it's more important for a patient to get to a bed faster than a doctor having less time bouncing between patients,) and setting up joy activities spaced around your colony. Another less useful but still great thing to do is keeping your butcher table in a different room from your dining areas. Less blood splattered on the floors where your pawns are dining, so they get a better mood gain while eating. Skaw fucked around with this message at 22:56 on May 12, 2016 |

I always just put a two or three tile high priority meal storage in my dining area. Food gets ate before it spoils and the minions keep it stocked while leaving most poo poo in the freezer.

Hey you know when you have big Manhunter events and you have like 10 downed wargs, if you enclose a room and put a bunch of animal sleeping spots inside you can 'Rescue' them and eventually tame them. Or piss one of them off and get attacked. I mention this because if you do it you want to define a little 1 tile stockpile to be filled with meat, so they don't go into predator mode.

My current colony is getting a worrisome amount of cargo pods containing human meat. I like to think that my guys just barely escaped an Event Horizon fate, because apparently every ship in orbit was blown to bits shortly after the crew was butchered into snack packs by something.

I'm surprised (and tbh, rather impressed) to discover that straight or gay does not really matter thaaaaat much for colonist hookups.  e: They still mash their uglies together but not as often and it's not as fun Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 23:53 on May 14, 2016 |

My god, this game actually on a ship with a hull. Space decompresses as usual, putting on space suits to patch your ship, etc. If you gently caress up then you crash land on the rimworld.

Minarchist posted:Make sure to keep your food stockpile close to your kitchen and dining area. I saw a few screencaps where pawns would have to walk 30-40 tiles minimum each way just to fetch food, cook it, and walk back. Refrigerating medicine isn't worth it imo. Medicine kept at 15 degrees or so can last up to two years IIRC. Also, the talk about organ donation: I've never once in my game needed an organ for a colonist. My colonists will always either instantly die, or manage to be rescued but just have normal wounds. They never lose a kidney or lung or heart.

It would be neat if you start on a spaceship and try to keep it afloat not unlike FTL but with this games characteristics and when it inevitably crashes down on a planet, presumably a rimworld, that would be fun and cool.

I sold a slave once to traders and almost had one of my colonists go through a mental break because everyone was sad I'd sold someone into slavery. Do colonists ever become hardened to this? Like if I keep selling people into slavery, do they just stop giving a drat? Also, is it more profitable to harvest organs and sell that or should I just sell the whole person? I'll save this for the pesky bastards that are 99 difficulty in recruitment.

Or, what if the ship you build in your colony actually becomes your new "colony"? Rimworld's engine seems robust enough to support a sort of firefly crossover mod.

Space acts like space. putting on space suits - You have gear to go into space to patch your ship, etc. - You need to fix your ship. If you gently caress up - It has a failstate then you crash land on the rimworld. - This lovely game is the fail state . It's really not that hard to translate.

I mean, I could kinda guess what he was saying but it wasn't exactly clear that he was talking about a "this would be a neat idea to have in the game" and not something else. And I also think people should be corrected on their mistakes when learning a foreign tongue, so that they can improve their grasp of the language. v  v

Hydroponics used to be a sustainable method of keeping your colonists alive, but now it's just poo poo. 1) It takes HUGE amounts of power for just a a small room with 8 basins and 1 sun lamp 2) Any solar flares or electricity shortages resorts in the crops either outright dying, or losing so much health as to not even give much yield at harvest

Make switches also be fuses, add hardening against EM problems (including EMP grenades maybe), and maybe an upgrade in general reliability for electronics and machines. Maybe have a control console you can staff in an emergency to still have your gizmos work during a flare?

I've never used Enhanced Tabs in Alpha 12 before but it, the Numbers mod and Fluffy's Relations mod (youtube video) should be in the base game. I've had enhanced tabs for a couple of colonies now and never really messed with it. Yesterday I got really fed up with 4 Thrumbo just sleeping on my harvested potatoes and eating them whenever they wanted. I didn't really have the manpower to kill four at once so I tested out the Enhanced Tabs feature where you can raise the priority of jobs for all your colonists. I set everyone to haul 1 and instead of turning down other jobs to make hauling more important for a few individuals, I just raised hauling to the 1st priority for every colonist and boom. All my fields were emptied almost immediately. Turned hauling back down to third from last (default setting) and everyone went back about their normal jobs.

You know, I feel like I should say something because I was the reason for it all. Apop and others were right in that what I wrote didn't make sense. Others were right in that he didn't need to be abrasive about it. Everyone involved was pedantic. I'd actually like this game to be a little more action oriented because I really like the mechanics behind it. Someone made some equipment from the Aliens universe, now I'd like to see an already made base and Aliens to survive against.

I like the idea behind the crash landing mod, and wouldn't mind seeing something like it in the final game eventually, but oh boy was it a mess of merciless RNG murder the last time I tried it. For instance, it was practically unusable on the ice biome because unless you were lucky to get a wood drop (which I never saw happen once), then you were screwed because you couldn't build a butcher's table. And of course when the first life pod block comes crashing down there's a chance the initial three colonists will be injured or even killed. One time I had all three die straight away and so got the "all your colonists are dead, game over" message barely 5 seconds after starting it up. It's a cool concept, but needs a lot of balancing. Been a while since I used it, though, so idk how much its changed since the last alpha.

One crash I had 8 survivors (all hurt in some way) and the only thing I could save was glorious art pieces and shivs. It was a grueling start.

Blacktoll posted:Also saves six colonist but then euthanized 4 because they weren't willing to HAUL. Tynan should really think about changing his approach to the no hauling trait. Make it so that people opposed to hauling have a mood debuff, or only carry 50%, or move slowly or something, but the idea that in a survival situation someone will simply refuse to go and pick up medicine or whatever is pretty loving stupid, and even from a gameplay and storytelling perspective doesn't really enhance anything. Speaking of medicine, doctors should be able to treat themselves as well, at least to some degree.
