The thing about tribal societies is that they can up stakes and move to more plentiful or comfortable areas. Your colonists cannot do that, as a rule, so the game is forcing you to fortify and eventually gentrify your landing zone.

Anyone got any idea how to update a mod once you've put it on the workshop? I uploaded the first draft of my Minerals & Materials mod to the workshop earlier but I found a bug since and fixed it, but I don't know how the heck to actually upload the fixed version to the workshop.

turn on dev mode, go into mods, click on your mod, and there should be an "update on steam" button

I haven't built the spaceship since like, my first couple of sittings when I bought the game in Alpha 9. Unfortunately no, there isn't an alternate "stuff to do" path for them (at least not yet) but I don't care about that at all anyway.

Dev mode.. it would be dev mode, wouldn't it? The one thing I didn't try out because I figured it was too arbitrary to be that.  Thanks for your help!

You can just set their bed back to Colonist and set another bed to Prisoner, and someone with the Warden labor enabled will presently come along and move them (or you can manually prioritize it)

I am just getting into this game and decided to check out some of these mods that so many people say they "can't play without". However, I can't seem to find any that work with A14. The list in the OP all threw errors about being for A13 or earlier. What are the current most useful mods that actually work with this release, and what's the best way to find/obtain them?

Every single prisoner I've had (including spacers dropping from the sky) had 99% recruitment difficulty and I just didn't have the manpower available to keep chatting them up, so I always release them. I can't afford the mood hit for doing terrible things to them, and you do get a small relations boost with their faction when releasing prisoners. And being tribals, my colonists wouldn't be able to sell the various human organs anyway since every trader I've seen has been total poo poo.

Broken Cog posted:I kinda just release prisoners if I decide they're not worth the effort. Am I doing it wrong? I just release them for the faction boost on tribals, and only capture pirates I intend to recruit. Nobody cares if you execute them on the ground. I just use all the corpses for the medical training mod (uses the corpses to practice medicine)

Oh sorry I thought I got rid of the lists, everything's out of date because they just moved to A14, nothing major works with it yet. Anything on the workshop should though so I'd start there. Broken Cog posted:I kinda just release prisoners if I decide they're not worth the effort. Am I doing it wrong? You should probably cut some useful organs off them, especially if they're raiders, call it pre-emptive debt collection. But you can probably hold off on the ceremonial murder and butchery followed by making chairs out of their skin.

Broken Cog posted:I kinda just release prisoners if I decide they're not worth the effort. Am I doing it wrong? no, that's fine. releasing prisoners raises their faction level a bit when they leave the map, so if there's a tribe that hates you releasing enough of their prisoners over time will get them to stop hating you pirates will hate you forever. you can release pirates, sell them to slavers, or harvest their organs, or kill them, up to you if someone's at 99 difficulty you might as well cut them loose, it will take forever to recruit them NOT_A_VIRUS.EXE posted:I am just getting into this game and decided to check out some of these mods that so many people say they "can't play without". imo there's no essential mods, i think vanilla is fine. mods are better for when it gets stale or if you just can't stand the ui

OwlFancier posted:A list of some good mods for the game, EDB interface is highly recommended by all users, others add gameplay modifications to taste. Just going down that list: EdB Interface is basically built in. Pawn status hasn't been updated for 3 patches. There's a newer version: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=19941.0 Vein Miner has been discontinued, there's a new mod that does that here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=16098.0 Winter is here I've never used, but I imagine going with "climate cycle" in a scenario would get you much the same thing Zombie apocalypse has been updated (original guy MIA since A11 so the topic never updates) Prison improvements hasn't been updated since A12, could just remove. Never used "Can I brew it", but Vegetable Garden adds all that booze and more: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=12934.0 Extended surgery and biotics I'd just replace with Expanded Prosthetics and Organ Engineering: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=10571.0 Gunsmithing table hasn't been updated since A9. There are a variety of other smithing options out there. Brunayla probably has the most comprehensive https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7179.0 Caveworld flora hasn't been updated yet, but your link is wrong for where it will be: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=13172 Bulk meals has an unofficial patch. Tho I'm getting "craft 4 meals" tasks in my game, so either that's made it to vanilla or vegetable garden adds it.

Got a message about a Pop Idol on the run from a nearby group of pirates, so I decided to let her in. Turns out she was 80 years old, frail and with a bad back, and the pirates caught up to her long before I could intervene. Sorry lady, I tried.

Alaan posted:I started putting switches between charged batteries and the grid because of that. Have just enough to last the day active at any time. RT Power Switch is a nice mod that does this automatically. You can make a subnet that will only connect to the main power grid if the power's about to turn off, and then it disconnects again automatically when all batteries are fully charged.

If I have RT's mods installed I generally just build a bunch of fuses. Another handy thing to do with batteries is simply uninstall them after they're full. They stay charged forever sitting in your stockpile, so you can easily install them if you suddenly have a power shortage

So I got this yesterday and have been having a blast dying over and over while my age-addled brain tries to recalibrate to how ten years ago me was able to play dwarf fortress. Is there a way to map out what you mine out without clicking on every drat individual tile as they slowly get revealed? I don't have the patience for that kind of micromanagement and I don't care if I accidentally dig too greedily/deep in the process.
