I generally just use an embrasures mod instead of doing the columns thing. It's way less dumb when you think about what the building actually looks like.Fat Samurai posted:I've downloaded some mods from the Workshop, and activated them in the Mods menu, but they don't seem to register when I start a new game. Am I missing something? Which mods?

Medical Tab, Animal Tab and Colony Manager, IIRC Most interface things require a new colony. You might be able to hack it into your existing save by starting a new colony, saving it, editing the xml, finding the lines that look like they initialize the mods, copying them, and adding them to the save xml of your main colony. I'd grab Work Tab while you're grabbing tab mods. Even if you don't use the advanced features, it expands the work priorities from 1-4 to 1-9 which is way nicer for micromanaging.

So apparently there was an update today? And some sort of mod conflict seems to be crashing my game every time I try to load it. It sucks because I finally got my colonists somewhat stabilized (because my main complaining character accidentally died of heat stroke...). I guess I need to look for a way to keep steam and mods from updating the game until I'm ready? Anyone else crashing?

I'm starting a new colony each time, it's just the game doesn't show the mods:   I assume the mods should appear below he Steam Workshop thing in the second screenshot?

No, if they're in the mod panel and checkboxed, as they appear to be, they'll be in game. None of those mods affect anything before you're in game.

As long as you've ticked the mods as you did for the first screenshot, you're good to go.

If the mods are checked but don't affect the game, try opening the mod menu, closing it, quitting the game, and launching the game again. Getting the Steam Workshop file storage to sync can be kind of temperamental sometimes.

It's mostly OP due to how trivial it is to wipe out manhunter packs and melee dudes. But otoh melee raiders are so completely overpowered against a firing line that I don't feel bad about that

Every time I play this for a stretch I eventually just make a prefab profile with basically 7-8 space marines. Start with power armor and really good guns, 20 skill in everything, maximum augmentations. Build an absolutely stupid fort inside a mountain and then make every faction hostile, taking over and converting the wounded. Like half scientology, half borg. I have ended up with this situation every time since alpha 7 or 8. It's that time again now.

But otoh melee raiders are so completely overpowered against a firing line that I don't feel bad about that Personally, I see absolutely no problem with "guns and fortified positions are objectively better than a bunch of angry animals or guys with swords". Like, yeah, balance, whatever, but intentionally leaving out a type of structure that's existed from literally the beginning of history just to make melee guys better is silly.

The alternative is to have actually smart AI and not have idiots walk into your killbox/embrasures to docilely be killed, but instead you'd get sieged/tunneled all the time and melee guys would either just never bother with you or always tunnel around  So yeah they're pretty cheesy in the game's current state.

My cavemen are really horny and it's making them grouchy. Is there a smart way to level up furniture as apparently you can't sell shoddy double beds to merchants?? Also, what should I be doing once I got basic food and defense down? Man Musk fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Jul 29, 2016 |

Not every merchant buys every category of item, although yeah there might be a minimum threshold of quality/condition before they'll buy something even if it's the right type (e.g. slavers won't buy crippled prisoners). Quality of furniture is determined by Construction skill, which you can train up on poo poo that has no quality like walls or floor smoothing, or if you have a lot of wood/blocks you can build and tear down beds or stools and repeat.

Word, cheers! Current tribe has an on-again off-again couple, which is currently the most interesting thing going on. I'll try grinding up my furniture a bit that way, and see what happens.

Tribals are doable pretty much anywhere except ice sheet, remember you can farm trees although it takes a while for them to come up.

Isn't the save just an XML file? Could look and see if there's an obvious parameter in there. Or at least copy the file as a backup

Thanks, I found my save and figured it out. If anyone else was wondering it's pretty easy and just involves opening up the save and changing permadeath from true to false.

I bought a bunch too but my loving pigs ate almost all the egg so now I only have one female emu left. I was hopeing to get a steady supply of eggs from them but they are 1 years old and still no eggs. They cant haul things either like the pigs. I also breed terrior becausr a bunch joined my colony. Now I have dozens of tinny little puppies running around. Any one know how long i should wait beforr butchering my male pigs for porkchops?

I got my chicken farm up to 460 animals legitimately. Turns out they sell pretty well? Not as fancy as art, but bad art also doesn't fill your freezer once things inevitable go south. Now a part of me wants to turn on cheats to see how long the game can handle exponential growth.

I had a bunch of chickens, but then I got hit with toxic fallout and couldn't produce enough hay to keep them going so I ate them all. Giant rear end in a top hat bird farm instead.

Can you play this game with just a mouse? I broke my wrist so I can really only use one hand at the moment and I've been playing Civ on the couch, this looks fun.

Yeah, you shouldn't have any real difficulty. Keyboard makes things easier with shortcuts, and if you can bind a few of the most common functions to a thumb button it'll be smoother, but you should be able to manage just fine.

You need minimal keyboard control, if any. Unlike Dwarf Fortress, you can control almost the entire game with just a mouse. I haven't found a situation that won't let me progress with just a mouse. Obviously naming things needs a keyboard. But you don't need a keyboard+mouse in order to play this game like you would for a FPS IAmTheRad fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Jul 29, 2016 |
