Danaru posted:As for the mechanites, they won't die but the pain will be a constant mood debuff and they'll be using up a poo poo ton of medicine until they finally go away You don't need to use medicine to treat mechanites - in fact, there's no benefit to using it. Forbid them from getting medicine on their health tab, and they'll get free treatments until the mechanites are cured.

So I'm pretty new to the game, and I'm a few hours into my first settlement and I just got a new colonist to join who is basically 13+ in melee and shooting. How do I make this person always be out hunting, and grabbing the corpses to bring back to be harvested?

Keep them armed and have their hunt tab on, plus hauling. Mark animals to be hunted. You may want to turn off other colonist hunting activities because sometimes there will be friendly fire.

Luciferium is, as the name implies, a deal with the devil. It makes the doser harder, stronger, faster, better, able to cure serious injuries etc etc. Its basically super-soldier nanomachines, except its instantly "addictive" because they need a constant supply or they go insane/die.

It makes your people badass until you run out, then it makes them insane. I cask of amontillado any that I find but I'm sure you could stockpile it and have quite a fighter.

If you want to know more about a thing, click the little [i] button on its panel, it will give you a list of every statistical modifier relevant to the item, so for drugs it will tell you exactly what they do to the person imbibing them.

From the limited testing I've done, colonists with minimum gun skill, trigger happy, two bionic eyes, go juice, and luciferium are still extremely effective soldiers, but I haven't run the detailed numbers so I'm not sure it's really worth the tradeoff (especially if you factor in cryosleep penalties). Plus it seems like overdosing happens really easily. Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Jan 6, 2017 |

Slime posted:It's a big investment though, with those bionics. You'd think you could yank out prosthetics from a corpse. Yeah. Bionic eyes don't really help with much now anyway though -- just shooting and medical tending -- so if you have extras, why not? I seem to have my multiple colony crash bug fixed now so my next project is going to be really playing around with different ways to exploit multiple forts at once. Pod-drop drugged-out cryogenic ice marines seem like one thing worth trying.

Slime posted:HAH. It's kind of useless as a medical thing because it loving kills you. That is what makes it the "devil's bargain". It can save pawns from certain death in the short term (from infections/diseases or permanent brain damage), at the cost of complete dependence upon it.

Plus it seems like overdosing happens really easily. Miniguns completely ignore pawn accuracy when shooting more than 2 tiles away, and within two tiles pawn accuracy isn't very important. Those colonists would still be extremely effective soldiers without the luciferium.

Yeah, I wasn't using miniguns -- switched to charge rifles; trigger happy is still doubling your rate of fire. The real question is, yeah, as you point out, whether or not luciferium makes a significant difference or if bionic eyes are enough by themselves to counteract the trigger happy penalty. Just looking at Sight, it's a +20% bonus from each eye and then another +15% from luciferium. Luci also gives a 10% bonus to consciousness. Go-juice gives 25% sight and 10% consciousness and reduces pain by 90%, so you're clearly getting *more* benefit from go juice than from luci for soldiers.

Holy poo poo, I have the Cult mod, and two of my people just murdered some octogenarian who had shown up wanting to join the newly founded Esoteric Order of Dagon. They ain't having none of it. Of course, having that blood on their hands, who knows what memories and whispers may haunt them in the night?

Leal posted:Yeah there is just some... thing going on that makes traders rarely if ever actually show up. My last colony just flat out had zero traders for the year it lasted. I guess now you can make caravans to get around that but jeeze. Consider how rare space traders could be and it almost feels like NPCs coming to you for trade is bugged in some way. The psychology mod seemed to cause most events to stop triggering on two of my games after a while. I didn't test it heavily so I don't know if it's because I just used save games for the A16 beta, or something specific that happened, or something else entirely, but I would get errors in the dev-console about psychology, and using the dev-menu to try to trigger events raised another exception. All of that went away when I disabled psychology.

Flesh Forge posted:This is the process of turning wood into charcoal, which is fine, but if you don't have wood ... It has both, coal seams have a decent chance to generate on the map. You usually end up with a pretty big stock of charcoal eventually, and I have it used for fueled generators and stuff instead of just raw logs of wood. I kind of had to do that because fueled generators don't accept a category of items, only a single item reference, and the mod also splits wood into different types for variety so there wasn't just one Logs item anymore to use.
