question: I noticed in my current game ( I think I was running Phoebe Rough at the time) that I got my "wanderer joins" event four days in, and my first raid at five days in. Is that timing standardized for all difficulties that aren't randy random?

Class Warcraft posted:Is it just me or in the beta patch has installing new limbs gotten extremely dangerous? Across three colonies my doctors are 0 for 5, killing three patients in the process. A16 Medicine has the same effectiveness as A15 Herbal Medicine, and herbal's effectiveness has been halved. Which means a level 20 doctor with ordinary capacities has a 30% failure chance with Medicine and 65% failure chance with herbal medicine. To hit a 100% success chance with regular medicine, you need a doctor with bionic arms, plus wake-up and go-juice (or luciferium can replace one of those).

My solution was to switch to using Glitterworld medicine only for surgeries and it's vastly improved the outcomes.

I can confirm that the Thrumbos will escape a walled prison unless they drink themselves to death. This is so even if the prison has no doors. I only put 4 beers in my latest walled prision and she was drunk but later sobered up and escaped.

Well the world already supports range for the transport pods. So, adding things like long range radar to detect attacks could be a thing, maybe using the ship building system to let you actually build movable ships to get around the place with longer range, and strategic defences against such things. Also hoping for strategic threats like malfunctioning weather control stations that create storms around them unless you disable them, mechanoid/bug hives, ancient sites to raid for loot, that sort of thing.

Spacebar is your friend. Which is why i dont like the demands from some fans for multiplayer. How am i going to be able to micromanage if i cant pause? Gamespeed is another, when nothing is happening i go with the fastest and when the poo poo hits the fan i hammer that spacebar. If the gamespeed was fixed grenades would be awful

This is my favorite part of the update right here:quote:The mood effects from room impressiveness have been redesigned and rebalanced. Characters now have consistently reasonable thoughts about the quality of their personal room, so there is a reason to make better rooms (though high-quality rooms aren’t absolutely necessary). Mood effects from eating in or convalescing in nice/poor rooms are also more reasonable and better-fed back. No more god drat prison cells!

Holy crap amazing additions. Opens up the game a ton. I hope he keeps developing this game forever Now to wait a few months until all the mods get updated then take a week off work. edit: with the world map now and multiple colonies and all that. I don't see some janky multiplayer too far off whether through a mod or from Tynan. If it's modded, something to allow you to connect to some central hub that shares your colony layout and places it on the map so you can attack actual colonies made by other people but controlled by the AI. Or if it's official multiplayer that has a bunch of people playing on one planet. I don't care a bit about the multiplayer side of these kinds of games but it seems kinda neat.

It seems to me that most friendly fire incidents could be avoided if only pawns/animals blocked line of sight and grenades had a minimum range of 3-4 squares Alas that hasn't been implemented yet which is how one of my colonists died recently, shot in the back of the head as his buddy tried to shoot past him to hit the berserk rodent he was fighting

Of all the cool new stuff that's a major step back regarding something that bothered me about the game before. I was annoyed by how much of a lottery surgery was. I guess now it's enough of a consistent failure rate that you just shouldn't try it without glitterworld medicine. Cup Runneth Over fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Dec 20, 2016 |

I won't mind the changes to medicine at all once a trade rebalance comes, but for right now it really blows because all trade borders on exploitation.

I'm impressed, seems like a pretty big content update. Though to be fair I don't have any idea when A15 came out. As a side note, as far as game developers go Tynan's a pretty good presenter. Enjoyed his excitement whenever he got to say "Now you're the _____!"

Galaga Galaxian posted:Is that the walls or the internal space? Internal space. 42 tiles (i.e., 6x7) is the minimum for the "spaciousness' bonus now and the impressiveness bonuses have been rebalanced too. Basically you need a minimum of a 3x3 (internal space) bedroom with a "normal" bed and wood floors to avoid a penalty, and a 7x7 room with stone floors and a normal bed will get a small bonus. It works out really well for my "standard' fort design -- I can do a perimeter of 7x7 bedrooms and the "corner" bedrooms are irregularly shaped but still total 49 tiles so equivalent space. Guide is mostly updated for A16 now -- link here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=813720217 Thanks for the help everyone (especially Zhentar). Any feedback / comments appreciated as always. One thing I haven't been able to fully verify via play is whether or not dining rooms and rec rooms still need to be separate rooms for colonists to get both bonuses.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Is that the walls or the internal space? In particular, pawns don't seem to get the malus from having their beds against the wall anymore, which means that you don't have to set it dead center in the room. This means that your barracks can be more nicely spaced. Digging A16 so far, sent my colonist to the nearby town to sell off some vendor trash, picked up a couple nice weapons in response.

A16 looks great, I really need to wrap up my A15 colony since I've never beaten the game and it's pretty solid. I don't mind the hit to medicine too much in theory, surgery is some difficult poo poo and doing it without the right equipment and drugs is a serious gamble. If it turns out infuriating in practice, I'm sure there'll be a mod up in five minutes. No 'hold fire' button, then? Pawns are absolutely capable of shooting round each other as long as they're standing still. It's when the quickest/nearest people in the group start shooting as soon as they arrive and the stragglers are still forming up that causes issues for me. It means you end up doing a ridiculous micromanagey juggle with everyone.

It wouldn't be such a problem if weapons were more of an inventory item that you assign and you could carry a secondary along with some sort of utility item like a pick axe. It remains a weird throw back that needs to go.

I'd imagine that with bleeding now being much more deadly the loss of limbs would mean you need to get that person off the field asap or they are goners. I wish there was a way that you could give you colonists field medicine kits so they could patch one another or themselves in the field or apply tourniquets. Make glitterworld medically kits be the king poo poo that can keep people going for a long, long time while regular medicines just stops bleeding very well for a while and reduces pain, and herbal medicine is just a mild pain reliever and reduces bleeding to a less deadly level.
