Wonderful ideas, I currently have their pen under a mountain but will change things up. Also did not know kibble won't spoil, sounds like assigning space for just kibble and feed in their barn is the solution. Thanks

The changes that made items decay when left outdoors changed up stockpile management quite a bit honestly. I hadn't played since like A8 and just recently came back. Being able to set trade beacons indoors is a refreshing change.

Herbal medicine needs to be frozen or it will spoil in ~120 days, so it's worth it to keep a stack or two in the freezer if you're growing healroot. Other types of medicine do not spoil, but will decay if left outside.

Keep wool/cloth indoors or it will decay. Leather does not, however, so set your stockpile accordingly.

Wood also decays and I try to make room for it indoors eventually, though it's not my #1 priority since it's pretty easy to come by in the wild and farms are pretty hands off too.

All types of weapons and clothing will decay outdoors, though equipment racks supposedly prevent that. I just keep a sizable stockpile indoors for just weapons and apparel, for new colonists and/or the rare trader that will take them off my hands.

That's all I think you have to worry about as far as spoilage/decay goes I believe. Stuff like metal, stone bricks, etc. can be kept in an outdoor stockpile.

E; Veggies and Meat obv spoil too, but everyone knows that.

Specifically, things decay if they are on an unroofed tile. You can make a woodshed with a single tile pillar and designated roof space and it will work just as well as a fully walled area.

Yeah, that is what I do with my storage for the most part.

I finished my first ship last night on randy rough! I did leave 2 people behind, but oh well. Getting 13/15 people off the planet is pretty good. Overall it was a very boring game, with Randy sending very few raids my way, mostly just tons of cargo pods. Think I'm going to go for combat realism mod next time.

Is there a demo or a free older version available? I don't have the money to buy it for another 2-3 weeks (so buy and potentially refund is not an option), but I really want to check this game out. I played a ton of Dwarf Fortress years ago so this is extremely my poo poo, but I've been burned on too many games that emulate DF.

Good to note that it's okay to have things like wood or cloth "outdoors" but with a roof overhead, so you can just build 1 tile of wall and have a 20x20 roofed area for your stockpile if you want.

I don't think there's a demo but there's tons of youtube samples of people playing. It's a great game, one of the best game purchases I've ever made.

Mending mod lets you repair stuff. I suggest the easy version because the materials needed to repair things in the normal one are quite honestly ridiculous and not worth bothering with imo. I set all colonists to only wear gear with 51%+ durability, and have a bunch of extras in storage. Once their clothes are tattered, they drop em and go pick up some new ones. The tattered stuff is put back in storage and gets automatically mended by my crafter at some point. It's all very convenient and hands-free once you have it set up.

There are several mods that let you mine resources that your flat map or whatever may not have any of. I use Industrialization. You can set up a mine that lets your colonists dig up steel/granite/plasteel/etc. The mine requires a whole lot of resources that aren't easy to get a hold of and takes a ton of power, so you won't be able to use it until you're a fair ways into the game, but I think that's necessary for balance. It's slower than digging out actual veins of gold or whatever, but on the other hand it's probably right next to your base so hauling isn't as big of an issue.

How do you set colonists to only wear gear with 51%+ durability?

You can change outfit settings for that, although if you don't actually have any apparel that meets the criteria then they may end up naked.

in the "assign" tab, you can set parameters for what kind of clothes your colonists will wear. it defaults to the "anything" outfit. click the "edit" button, and move the left bound of the slider governing durability to 51%

my gripe (i always have one) is that i wish i could save outfits from one game to the next, instead of just for my current game.

I'd recommend just watching this video. I had no idea what I was doing at first however this gives you enough of the basics that you will be off running shortly after. Once you understand the UI the game isn't that complicated at all.

I'm running into a weird bug where one of my people gets stuck in an infinite loop of picking up a stack of corn, setting it down on the next tile, picking it up, putting it down on the original tile, forever.

Any ideas?

Draft them then have someone else come haul it. Pawns do that when they try to move something out of the way and can't drop it. Happens all the time in a trap corridor.

It's already in my freezer, which should be the only place for it to get hauled, and there is plenty is room in there.

Are there any mods which remove bleeding as a condition, or was it maybe removed in a patch? For some reason, nothing that's harmed in my games seems to actually bleed anymore, regardless of the % blood loss indicated by the wound tooltips. It's not an urgent sort of thing, just curious that it's happening now.

If you keep and breed animals, you're basically guaranteed to have at least a third of the artwork your colonists make be either about animals vomiting or animals being trained. Or animals covered in vomit.

Probably a good chance of going on sale during one of the steam sales, but it was just added to steam so I don't think anyone can say for sure.

I tamed a bunch of foxes (they can haul!) and now all of my artwork is of my otherwise useless fat gently caress sheriff training foxes while they turn into mushrooms. Also my artist is apparently a PETA member because all of his animal taming and hunting artwork are called "Terrorism #" or "An Animal Terrorism" or things like that.

Just had an amazing start with the rich explorer. Found a literally perfect place to hole up and start getting rich....and then he got malaria and died. No matter how far back i went on the autosaves he would always get malaria at that same point. Weird as poo poo, and it really makes me miss a mod or ingame support for self-medicating as a last resort

I dunno if it's anything like real life, but Malaria symptoms can, in rare cases, take up to a year to surface. Usually it's 7 - 30 days though.

I'd like to expand on this and suggest you capture a guy, install peg leg (L) and peg leg (R) and then remove them both immediately.

He will be bedridden and unable to move. Set the prisoner status to 'Friendly chat' and you don't have top worry about him trying to escape, ever, since he has no legs and can't move. As a nice bonus, you will grind up social fairly quickly

First, make sure they're actually checkboxed in the mods section of the main menu.

Second, the Prepare Carefully window is toggled by a button on the bottom of the pawn generation panel. You have to select your start and map area first.

Yeah this was my problem. I thought the button would appear in an earlier window and didn't even bother to check in the pawn generation panel lol. I guess I just assumed going hog wild with mods right away was bound to have problems.

You say that but when the 40 tribesmen come and burn down your base, you will hate Randy Random.

I'm still mad about that. Watching of hours of work burn as it was desperately put out by the remaining colonists, who promptly went insane, was disheartening. But that's Rim World.
