B. Start over. RimWorld is a colony building game, once you've built your colony that's all there is to it at the moment.

I've never used the dev console. Could you, say, spawn a raid, infestation and mechanoids all at once? Oh, and a boomalope manhunter pack. That would be fun.

What do people here think of drugs (in rimworld duh)? Grow for profit? For medical use? If I start producing joints but forbid their use will chemically interested colonists try to secretly smoke them regardless?

Chemically interested people will still use drugs, binge and overdose as long as they have a physical path to drugs.

Don't discount the administer smokeleaf option on the medical operation page. Its incredibly useful for disease convalescence before your hospital turns into the funnest place on earth because it is a joy source (I think? Not sure if they lose that by not smoking under their own power), a positive moodlet, and a painkiller so it can be amazing to prevent the death spirals where someone gets a wander break and loses the bed bonus to immunity. Similarly before your recruitment prisons turn into luxury hotel resorts you can ply them with drugs. Its so little work and has no quality so drugs are really good at using unskilled labor to turn plant matter into silver. zedprime fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Feb 7, 2017 |

the basic rundown of the dope in this game is like this: social drugs (alcohol, weed): use to treat major break risks, ideally brought on by major but temporary things. someone's bonded pet/spouse dying, withdrawal mood penalties, etc. hard drugs (yayo, wake-up, go juice, etc): use to accomplish specific jobs. use wake-up on doctors right before surgery, yayo/go juice on soldiers right before combat, etc. knowing exactly what to do here requires being familiar with what affects the speed/efficiency of various jobs. don't ever use flake, it's just a lovely form of yayo. luciferium: not even once. okay, MAYBE if you are a very mature colony and have someone with brain damage and otherwise there's no way to save them, because luci will help reverse that brain damage. i generally consider luci addicts to be dead men walking, though, because it's so, so easy to get a drought where no new traders show up with more of the drug. keep a cryptosleep casket on hand for every luci addict you have unless you're cool with sealing them into a death chamber cask of amontillado style. all hard drugs should be administered manually unless you are feeding an addiction, which might make sense to do if you have someone you need active and ready to work. you will however, long term, want to get ALL junkies clean - it's just a liability otherwise. social drugs you can set up a manual drug policy that says something to the effect of "one joint/beer every 3 days, if mood <50%", and that will allow your pawns to use social drugs responsibly. drugs are generally good to sell but you will have more luck just selling clothing, generally speaking. withdrawals: withdrawals of ANY hard drugs are nasty as hell - especially go-juice. you have a couple of options for dealing with them; a joint or two a day of smokeleaf is the easiest thing. if you use too much of it (i personally limit junkies to one or two per day) you might trade your hard drug addition for a smokeleaf addiction, but smokeleaf is not a difficult habit to shake. this has the benefit of keeping the pawn working and active, though at a reduced rate. the safest thing to do is to change the pawn's schedule so they have Sleep for 20 hours a day, and only a pair of 2 hour blocks for "Anything", which they will mostly use to eat. put a TV in their room to keep their Joy up if possible, and keep a light on in their room. junkies of hard drugs are hard to get work out of in the first place so this is basically giving up on them until they're clean. keeping them in bed will generally keep them stable and prevent them from doing something moronic. after they're clean you can return them to a normal schedule, but getting clean takes at minimum two full seasons. withdrawals of social drugs are annoying but manageable. if the junkies are being really obnoxious you might need to seal away your beer and weed for a season to keep people from cheating. you can do this by simply making a critical quality stockpile, getting all that junk in one place, and then walling it up. junkies will sometimes ignore forbidden doors so do not count on that to keep them away. bed rest should not be required if the rest of your colony isn't depressing.

I learned you can disable events in the scenario editor. No short circuits, no solar flare, no infestations! I don't know if it's a side effect but holy poo poo this batch throws a lot of parties. The first thing they did was throw a party instead of important work. They throw a party every few days!

I give Luciferium to old people before I harvest their organs so they don't escape early through death by infection. When it comes to helping people go through drug withdrawal I found that it helps to amputate one of their legs and then let them stay in bed until they are clean. After that you can give them a bionic/prosthetic leg if they are useful or a peg leg if they are less useful. Does anyone here have a good way to make pawns be less frivolous in their wear on clothes? If I have 10 pawns. I make 20 sets of clothes. One to wear and one as replacement. They will wear a shirt to 80%. Then switch that for a 100% shirt, then wear that shirt to 70 or 60% and then switch to the 80% shirt and wear that to 60%. And it makes my clothes stockpile look like this  And I can't set them to be incinerated automatically because worn out clothes sell for a lot of silvers. What I want is for my pawns to wear a single piece of clothing until it counts as tattered (50% or so) and then switch it out.

I can't do much about your pawn behaviours but you could make a separate stockpile for <50% clothes combined with outfit restrictions for >50% clothes and then you have a working pile with wearables and a trash pile with stuff for the charity shop spaceship. It won't stop their fashion choices but it will give you a more visible guide as to what you have.

Unless you're pinching pennies its almost never a waste to have a 10+ crafter doing any tailoring even if dusters and cowboy hats are better so you can set up a stock target and just sell the rattiest outfits instead of trying to wear everything down to 50%.

Oh I have that: Display cases: 60-100% normal-legendary (Important) Nice Stockpile: 60-100% normal-legendary (preferred) Junk stockpile with orbital trade beacons (1-59%, shoddy-poor) Good clothes go to display cases first. Extras after that go into the nice storage. Bad clothes go into the junk storage and will be seen in the inventory when trading with ships. But most traders come in person and that shows every single item you own. I wouldn't mind a mod that made visiting traders bound by trade beacons.

I have my crematorium set to burn anything clothing less than good and any clothing less than 50%, it takes care of the clutter pretty good. I'm not sure if it's vanilla or from a mod but I noticed any clothing or armour off someone who died gets a "D" modifier that gives a bad mood to anyone wearing it, yet at the same time there's absolutely no way to assign outfits to not wear D clothing or tell a stockpile to filter it or a crematorium to burn it. It's quite annoying. If that dead guy's shirt is creeping you out why not go wear this nice new shirt you fuckman??

The steam workshop site is saying it has some bugs in A16 but this feels like a must have mod to me, upgrading walls is quite a operation to do.

You can indirectly filter it out of stockpiles by having a high priority apparel stockpile with "allow non-deaman's" unchecked. You can't filter it out of outfits but colonists give it a very low score in their apparel selection, so if there's a non-deadman's clothing option that they won't put on, that probably means you forced them to wear the deadman's one.

I thought I poured over the interface for any mention of that, but I guess it's in there! Sometimes the item filter menus can be a bit non-intuitive. Also if it's not good enough for my people to wear, it's not good enough to sell. I won't harm my colony's reputation by selling garbage used clothing!

It has a radius of I think five or six tiles, and within that area, crops have a huge boost to fertility. Like 80% I think. The totem lasts for... a season, I want to say? Ten days maybe? A decent time, at any rate. It's very very useful for a small and specialized growing area to boost stuff that grows slowly or whatever. e; most drugs are more trouble than they're worth but beer is okay and weed is loving great, it has basically no downsides and even addiction is pretty easy to overcome, and you can easily make a lot of it to sell for space dolla.

In my experience it's honestly less effort to just sell drugs and high-quality clothes, unless you're playing on an ice sheet or something with really limited growing space. I don't ever really have money shortages past year 1. Organ harvesting is just too much micromanagement worrying about mood breaks and having to manually queue up all those harvest operations for me. I just don't capture garbage prisoners unless I want to release them for faction good will.

yeah, that's the preferred way of handling business on warm biomes. even overproducing base foods works really well for bulk goods traders simply because you can turn out so many potatoes and so much rice. the modified trade values in A16 where you can now generally trade at market value completely changed the game. now if i could just get some douchbag with some loving uranium i would be off the rock my colony's currently on
