I guess Tynan did a thing on Reddit? Trying to figure out if something is fun in an early build sounds like it could be maddening. I think some of the Kickstarter tiers came with early prototypes that were much more about urban combat. And the early, early versions of the game came with overpowered blast charges and weird cages to scare the poo poo out of people.

There is an updated version of a vein mining mod. Not on the Steam Workshop yet, if they even will upload it there.

Why is it that every time disease strikes my colonies, it's 2-3 people getting it at the exact same time? That has to be a bug, right?

I thought that was intentional given the close proximity of colonists that almost all get it. I am not sure how it works, but I've had raiders catch disease that my colonists had - or they showed up with the exact same disease in the early stages (which I think is unlikely).

Bushiz posted: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. Orders menu -> mine / clear / chop / hunt / etc can all be applied to large areas. The main (well, only) dangers to look out for while digging: - Sealed off rooms (not just caves, but walled rooms you usually have to deconstruct to get into) can sometimes contain insane colonists in ancient cryo chambers, killer robots, or killer insects - Any open area too big (no wall within 6 squares of an open tile) risks a roof collapse or a cave-in - Temperatures can get really cold in large mined spaces, so in winter you'll need to wall/door off open spaces and too much mining can make your pawns literally freeze to death That last one is a big issue mostly in non-temperate biomes, where outside temperatures can drop to -30C or worse in winter and basically the only way to survive is to stockpile food ahead of time and keep all your pawns inside with heaters or campfires and a reliable supply of electricity or fuel.

Does anyone remember the game Deadlock: Planetary Conquest by Accolade in 1996? A lot of people are making Fallout themed mods, but I think a Deadlock overhaul could be amazing. The very base mechanics were somewhat similar. You have randomly or custom generated planets with biomes, and you were one of 7 alien races fighting to control the planet. Each race had strengths and weaknesses, technology had to be researched, resources mined and farmed, military units built. Many of the races in that game have abilities that would translate amazingly to RimWorld. The Uva Mosk were nature lovers and had supernatural bonds with plants and animals. The Maug were sickly broken humanoids who relied on technology and ultra-fast researching for survival. Tarth were massive beings who were dumb as stumps and consumed the most food but had unstoppable military units, etc etc. Damnit, I think I need to learn how to mod this game.

Disease is really abstract and simplified, the incident just sticks the effect on X number of people and that's that, it doesn't attempt to model real world disease at all. To be honest it's mostly just dumb and the ones like gut worms are something you should consider disabling. For sickness caused by improperly prepared or uncooked food there's already food poisoning anyway.

I released a prisoner and after leaving base he got mauled and eaten by an angry bear, and all my colonists got a negative 7 mood for a week because of it. Guys, he was out of the base, it wasn't really our fault.

If you have a basic grasp of how the game works Enter Elysium is a decent watch because he's good in some aspects and terrible in others so his skill cap isn't so high that you have no idea what he's doing and he'll constantly gently caress up obvious things which makes it easier to figure out what you should do in your own game. That latter part may lead you to stop watching though if it bothers you too much.

Guys complaining that their people were constantly pissed off while not having someone spend 5 minutes making a table for the first two game weeks and never building even a basic horseshoe pit. The -5 "ate off the ground like a filthy animal" mood penalty is the easiest thing ever to get rid of

Hey everyone playing this game. I see a lot of reviews talking about invasions and stuff. I play Dwarf Fortress a lot so I'm not a stranger to sieges, but can you dial them down or at least build an impenetrable fortress and chill until you want to smack space goblins in this one?

All you can really do is reduce the frequency by lowering the difficulty. The swarms will still grow relative to colony wealth however, so it's really just a way to drag things out. Killboxes sort of work, but the AI will learn from survivors where your defenses are and they'll go around them, up to and including mining their way into your base. You can't really turtle up like DF, tho it sounds like Tynan is slowly coming around to the idea that people want to be able to play this game like DF instead of "can you build a spaceship before the storyteller finishes her '3 people crashlanded and were loving MURDERED' story"

When I picture the events of this game being told by an actual storyteller, I picture the sort of incoherent screeds that schizophrenics write. "Three intrepid good people on a planet ONE OF THEM IS A CHILD SLAVE SPACESHIP CAPTAIN and they build a house out of steel because there aren't enough trees and then they all got sad until someone made a table and some horseshoes there were a lot of EXPLODING WILDLIFE and they couldn't open that room because it was FULL OF ANCIENT DANGER but they ended up building their research table out of limestone blocks and a short circuit caught the dog on fire and the captain got so sad he murdered everyone except the guy who died of the plague THE END."
