things that produce wool are very helpful because they passively turn grass into one of the warmest, most expensive kinds of cloth in the game, so that's really cool. you can just reserve them a grassy field somewhere and an animal handler will be along occasionally to collect. the female wool-producers are even nicer because they produce milk as well, which is neato burrito. most other kinds of animals will just eat you out of house and home while making a nuisance of themselves.

Do alpacas give milk or do they have to birth an babby first?

pregnancy semantics are not set up so female animals will always give milk if their creature type is marked to do so

Chickens make good meat shields. I think these are the best meat producers with 1 egg per fine/laish meal required while breeding very fast.b Egg laying chicken produce more meat than killing them for it. You still kill them though meat or no meat unless you want the chicken apocalypse. Animal farming is not at all good from a pure food perspective as it takes a lot of food and/or land to feed them to get meat. It's there to boost the mood of the colony instead of having more arbitrary joy items. Having pawns eat less food from having fine/lavish meals doesn't really offset the raw resources to make it if all you want is food. This is balanced by your pawns working longer.

Jesus christ. Have had an awesome colony up until i got gut worms, the flu, and malaria in one year, with toxic storm (or whatever its called) to cap it all off. The year of Nurgle it seems. Thankfully my doc avoided all ailments but i am super hosed if I get any big raids. Also what is everybodys best way of making silver? I have been making my pawns crank out lots of simple meals and selling them for whatever I need. Have a giant freezer packed with 400+ meals at the moment Willfrey fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Dec 15, 2016 |

Seems I've already found a slightly annoying downside to the Cthulhu cultist mod. I just had a third hauler husky go berserk because of extreme sanity loss, which I had to put down because it kept berserking again not too much time later. And I can see other huskies already developing the initial stages of madness. I guess it's a good thing I can make haul drones now to replace them before the rest start freaking out. Time for a purge. Devdisigdu fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Dec 15, 2016 |

Rescue helps a lot in those crisis situations. Like when everything is on fire and your colonists start collapsing. And then a raid comes in and your colonists are downed, except for one or two. Then the extra dog or other animal running around carrying people into medical beds saves a lot of time that could be spent treating.

Boars are just as good as dogs at training, imo, and they'll eat grass. I generally favour training them to be pack animals.

I never turn away or intentionally kill useless downed raiders or colonists and I once got a wanderer with everything disabled except for combat and animal training. I set her to train up every animal we have and if she's still idle, I have her recruit new animals and sell the excess young if we go over 30. The absolute pandemonium if I release 30 elephants, ostriches, muffalos and pigs when a battle looks like it might turn against us is absolutely worth the effort. Even a mechanoid hive barely stands a chance.

Have a giant freezer packed with 400+ meals at the moment Meals are a good way to go, especially when you have a passing ship and can sell a bunch at once. I had a colony that ended up with like 13 alpacas and even though you'll have some downtime, a skilled crafter can easily make alpaca wool garments that are $100+ per item. Just for fun I like to make psychoid grow ops and sell the yayo. Not super efficient, but if you have the surplus power and steel then it's fun having a full on coke lab.

You still kill them though meat or no meat unless you want the chicken apocalypse. Put the hens in one field, and the cocks (  ) in their own, smaller field. You only need a couple to fertilize all of the hens too, so just slaughter the male chicks that get born until you reach the number of hens you want.As long as you have enough grass land (and some saved up hay for the winter) you more or less have a totally hands off egg machine that just requires occasional connection. Your fine/lavish meals don't require hunting any more and you can always sell the excess if you want. quote:
Unless you're using one of those "40 pawns" mods, a 400x300 map gives you lots of land to burn. All you really need to do is spend the labor to chop the trees to make the walls to keep out wolves. Cull your herds until you reach the size that works.

Quick question on this game as it looks quite fun. I played Prison Architect quite abit and enjoyed that. This seems to be made in the same engine but with more complexity to the game. If i enjoyed PA would you recommend this one?

For Rimworld's gameplay, think like early Dwarf Fortress (2d, you have a handful of settlers, you have to deal with random raids and stuff), with a dose of mini-RTS because you have full control over your colonists in combat but not outside of combat.

It's not really much like PA and is made completely independently of the game, it just looks a bit like it. The mechanics of the game are very different and the entire aim of the game is inverted compared to PA because you're facing threats primarily from outside rather than trying to contain something inside your strucutres. Do you like the idea of dwarf fortress? If so, you will probably like this game.

It works until you accidentally overload the pawns and the manager. *The Chickens begin to breed at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, I try to pull the plug. I fail as a Psychic drone turns them all mad wiping the colony in a feathery hell fire.* Colony manager lets you set how many animals of each type you want with sub divisions like adult/child/sex. It is a really good QoL mod. There are some caveats to using it (See above) and it won't break loops like the cook-meal loop(Need another mod for that and require manual bills) but for everything else it is great. Always want X amount of wood/stone/meat/forging/parts over multiple production benches across the base? This is the mod for you. It has multiple levels of managing you need to research to remain effective as your colony grows so it isn't OP.
