Hieronymous Alloy posted:you can get "stacks" of the same material but those stacks don't stack -- i.e., you can have a stack of, I think it's 25 devilstrand, but not two stacks of devilstrand in the same tile, and nothing else can flop into that tile. So are you making a single stockpile square beside the crafting station? Do you put crafting stations in the same location? I'm using my phone right now so I can't see that picture very well.

TipsyMcStagger posted:So are you making a single stockpile square beside the crafting station? Do you put crafting stations in the same location? I'm using my phone right now so I can't see that picture very well. Basically, small stockpiles by each station, yeah. Not always a single tile -- usually 3x3 or larger, just because my haulers are only so efficient, and I don't want the central low-priority stockpile clogged with raw materials. For my stonecutters and scluptors the raw materials stockpiles are fairly large and depend on what I need -- for example, the 9x9 stonecutter workshop has a 4x9 stockpile for granite chunks, a 4x4 stockpile for slate chunks, and a 4x4 stockpile for marble chunks, because the haulers filling those piles are making lots of long trips. Kitchen stockpiles are fairly complicated -- there it's mostly 1 and 2 tiles, yeah, but that works there because I have a lot of timber wolf animal haulers and they're hauling from the freezer stockpile immediately adjacent. One thing I did change recently was I stopped storing Corn in the freezer because of its long shelf life -- it all goes in the central stockpile too.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:It won't anyway -- haulers always take things to the highest priority stockpile with space available. Only time "nearest" stockpile happens is with finished crafted goods and those will get taken back to the roofed central stockpile (though they should all be using drop on floor anyway). I am talking about the hauler loop that happens when you have two stockpiles of the same thing but one has a higher priority where raw materials get consumed rapidly piecemeal leading to haulers constantly hauling small amounts several meters away. You are better with more cooks than hauler(s) going back and forth getting called to carry a stack of 10 from the othe rside of the map. Without mods however cooks do the same thing as they rush to cook every time someone takes a meal. Some people prefer having an area restricted assistant over hauling larger stacks to larger stockpiles. There are other way to handle this without mods but require micro management or a willingness to stick cooks in the freezer.

Ahhh, yeah, I just saw that as inevitable short of mods and I'm trying to minimize mod use for now while I'm still writing this guide. Something like Crafting Hysteresis seems like just more settings to explain, at least for me right now. I just solved the problem with shitloads of trained animal haulers. Labradors and wolves everywhere. The only real hauling issues I've had are 1) getting the crops in when all the corn ripens at once, solved by using manual priorities to make everyone temporarily care more about hauling than anything else, and 2) hauling all the goddam stone chunks from across the map, which animal haulers don't seem to like to help with so I had to solve it with patience instead.

i've found an autodoor leading to a very small kitchen (when i say small, i mean like 3x3 interior space) is the best option. there's some power and component requirements associated with it, but a wooden autodoor will mean that in general a cook's walk to pick up cooking supplies is very short (typically under 5 hexes in my experience) and is unimpeded the entire way. it also means that cooked food goes straight back into the freezer where it belongs, and the chef will frequently grab his next ingredient while he's in there. and yes, a separate butcher's room (again, i do 3x3 with an autodoor to the freezer) helps the food poisoning situation a lot. blood, unsurprisingly, is FILTHY, but as long as it's kept in the abattoir it bothers nobody.

Quick question: does this game ever go on sale? It's a bit too pricey for me at the moment but I'm looking for something with a bit more to do than Prison Architect (especially now that PA has hit v2 and won't be seeing many more features) and this looks like it'll fit the biscuit.

No, in fact it will get more expensive over time. I can't quite remember how much I got it for but it might have been 1/3 or 1/4 the price it is now.

I stupidly enabled making meals out of insect meat; now all my meals contain insect meat and my colonists wont eat them. Problem is they still count as meals so my colonists wont make new meals and are eating raw food instead. I tried forbidding the meals and that wont work. How do I get rid of these meals so I can free up freezer space. The game doesnt differentiate between meal types and Ic ant dump them. Is literally the only way to forbid meals in my freezer so the guys haul them all out to a dumping zone (configured to accept meals) then wait for the bastards to rot?

Last two days when I went to work and ended up talking about RimWorld most people's reaction to my layman's explanation of it ("It's like you're project managing a space colony, so you tell everyone what to do and then you sort of just hope they do it, a lot of the time they just end up complaining or fighting with each other, but it usually mostly works out OK.") the reaction I get is, "So, it's like your job here? So you leave work and go home to more work?" I'm basically the director of technology for a retail gardening chain. Last night while playing I couldn't help but keep thinking about this comparison and how it never dawned on me before. Being fairly high up in a company has given me a new perspective on companies and how they work and survive, and it is very RimWorld... everyone is just fumbling through poo poo typically, usually loving it up, but getting through. If anyone lasts long enough to get good at what they do, it's only a matter of time before they're gone or have been driven insane. Life is great.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Zhentar, do you know exactly what the changes to "sight" were in a16? Do bionic eyes help with crafting at all, or is it just eyes -> ranged combat, arms -> melee and crafting, legs -> movement speed? Hieronymous Alloy posted:Is there anywhere that breaks down precisely, in detail, exactly what tasks can be improved by bionic eyes, arms, and legs? You can see it in game. Just click the "i" on the colonist's detail pane, and then click on individual stats and it will show you the breakdown of how much each capacity contributes, and the cap, if there is one. In A16, Melee & Shooting accuracy benefit from Sight without limit, and Healing Quality and Healing Speed (tending) benefit from up to 130% Sight. Nothing else benefits from >100% sight.

Or should I put granite doors and call it good? Lastly, how do you get components other than compacted machinery? I think I've mined all mine

Trade, there's also a very expensive way to manufacture them once researched. Trade really does provide a good amount though, so you should be good for the mid game with that alone. Disassembling pieces of space ship debris also generates 20 components iirc.

There is a component assembly bench which does that for you, it is big so make room for it. Making a component can take a lot of time so keep that in mind too. Tunnellers will tunnel no matter the setup, you can stop this if you sortie and disrupt them. Do this enough they stop and attack like normal raiders. Mortars might work, but it is faster and easier to place a sniper or two as they aren't very aggressive while tunnelling. IIRC they only tunnel once. Once they are through they act like normal raiders again so you can use the outer wall like slate armour.

I've personally started making mining outposts and having guarded muffallos transport to and from. Once my first one dries up, I'll just disassemble and move it all back home and make a new outpost. Outpost gets food from the mainland, mainland gets steel/components/plasteel from the outpost.

A component assembly bench is a waste of time since it costs 30 components. Your better off using those 30 components to construct an temperature controlled sunlamp area for growing a cash crop and just trading for components.
