Note to self: if you turn off medicine for a colonist that is only bruised, remember to turn it back on. I had two guys with the flu in my current game and they went off to the hospital to rest until well. It wasn't until after their second treatment that I noticed one of my guys was way behind the infection. He is now in a Slate Sarcophagus (Normal).

I do this too but inevitably I will forget to unforbid it until well after my doctor attempts to install a bionic spine on my pawn using herbs. Some sort of customizable priority system would be nice, where bruises and scratches get herbal medicine and glitterworld is reserved for complicated surgeries only. On an unrelated note, I wonder how difficult it would be to mod in sidearms. I want my dudes to be able to carry both a gun and a sword. It would eliminate a lot of micromanagement and lessen the chance of a rifle wielding dude being mauled to death by a pack of squirrels because he was forced to punch them. It could be balanced by encumbering them a bit, and taking a moment to swap weapons of course. Also think of how badass it would be to draw swords and charge down a fleeing group of raiders, slaughtering them heroically.

I just had a hell of a month/season/Decembary in the development 17 version. I had 11 colonists and I will try to recap what happened here. 1. I sent out 5 guys to assault one of the jackpot missions (not sure of the name/type of these missions). These were my best fighters and I was leaving behind 6 colonists, 2 of which were non-violent colonists. The mission was booty that was supposedly guarded by turrets. The mission location was about 2 caravan days away, so I took 5 days of food. 2. A few in game hours out from the mission, 2 colonists at the main colony and 1 colonist in the caravan got malaria. I figured this guy in the caravan was just going to die, but I had brought medicine. I figured that maybe if I could finish the battle fast enough I would get a chance to heal the guy. (I learned from this though that it appears people get medicine/treated on the road because the person had a jump start on treatment when battle started). 3. I took out the turrets, two guys and a mortar and won the battle/mission. Taking out turrets with snipers is super simple. Two of my guys were wounded and got infected so we took about 2 days to recover, plus fight the malaria. 4. At some in here point my main base got attacked by 25+ deer. They destroyed all my turrets, broke down my doors and knocked down or injured all of my 6 colonists before it ended. Here's a screencap from before my last of six turrets went down. Basically no one could move except for colonist Erin (pacifist) who was in hospital recovering from malaria... I thought this was the end of the colony. Almost everyone was on the ground and I figured I would just watch it play out. But people kept standing up and no one was injured that badly after all was said and done (no one had the "death in XX hours" on their health page).  5. Deer are "taken care of" and people are still in the hospital recovering at my main colony and I got a Siege incoming... I have no turrets, very few components and only four fighters. I took a guy named Tode with a shooting skill of 6 and gave him my best sniper rifle and he went out there and killed two guys and they started their raid. Almost everyone in the raid was emp grenades or regular grenades. Only one person had an assault rifle so we fought them off one at a time with my injured team and no one died. This screenshot is after the raid before we burned the bodies. Note the cooler full of deer and the carpet of blood.  6. At this point my caravanning team had started moving again. Because of injuries, our trip back was more like 5 days and we had food for 1.5 or 2. So we had to stop and build a little base to gather fruit and nuts... Here's that tiny base.  7. I put together some resources and shot a cargo pod of food and supplies to my team at their new temporary colony (4 days walk from my loving base). You can see here that Harper is having a mental issue. This also delayed the caravan because we couldn't leave Harper behind. 8. In the following walk, my caravan of soldiers got stopped by a spelopede manhunter pack (2 bugs - easy) and a rat manhunter pack (a bunch of rats, not as easy). 9. With 2 days walk to go my guys got the new give us money or attack mission and I had to fight 7 guys. Luckily we won with minimal injuries but this took us another day or so to recover and we ended up walking the last day or so without any food. 10. During this last little bit, we also got attacked by raiders at the main colony and they caught one of my guys out in the open because I wasn't paying attention and rather than fight us the rest of the way, they just took who they could catch and now Maskinnen is held captive by them. 11. Here's my away team all returning as heros. They're loving starving after walking the last day and a half or so without food.  Also, there's now a loving poison ship that crashed near my colony that I have to deal with. This is all on Randy Random Rough. No one died in all of this chaos. I did lose one colonist, but maybe we'll get him back one day. beerinator fucked around with this message at 21:32 on May 12, 2017 |

Volmarias posted:A17 is sounding really good now I'm entering the third year currently and while some mods will help with the long game, I can now see some appeal of keeping colonies running for many years. I usually get bored with colonies around year 3 or 4, because it's easy to defend a walled up colony. But with multiple mission types, I can see keeping a warrior team and drop pod launchers at the ready to rush out and add excitement. With a17 I can see a lot of life in this colony even without mods.

After playing a bunch of a17 I miss these mods: Numbers MineItAll (lets you designate a vein to be mined) Colony Manager Relations Tab Work Tab Everything else I can play without. I do like some sort of fuse mod, like RT Fuse. It only makes sense that the more stable your base is, the less you'll see the zzzts event.

Hand Me That Brick is also huge for the general efficiency of a colony. For the unfamiliar, it allows the 'bring material to construction zone' job to be done by haulers in addition to constructors, so you can have some chowderhead with zero skills bring stuff from clear across the map and your highly skilled and very in demand constructor only needs worry about slapping the stuff together. It's definitely cheaty in that it makes management much easier but geez, why does it not work like that by default?

Coolguye posted:It's definitely cheaty in that it makes management much easier but geez, why does it not work like that by default? This is how I feel about the vein miner thing. If I tell my team to go dig at the steel until they get it all, I don't see how this is a cheat, it just saves me the trouble. And the UI mods like numbers or the tabs mods, might over complicate things, but they make management a lot easier. Back to a17 talk: I've seen two more things pop up on caravans. The first is that your caravan will occasionally bump into other caravans. The popup tells you that you can trade with them or fight them. It gives you the classes of the people in the caravan, so it'll say 2 grenadiers, 2 soldiers, 1 colony guard (I'm typing from poor memory), so it gives you an idea about who you would fight if you fought them. The second is that you can get ambushed from the ambushed fight map. My caravan was ambushed by 3 guys and we took them down easily. One of my guys took burn damage from the other guy's incendiary launcher so I was patching him up (again, I think this healing might happen on the road, but I wanted to be sure). While we were healing up, we got ambushed on the same map and 7 other guys just showed up on the map and we had another fight on our hands.

I don't think the abhorrent rimworld conditions aren't lost on tynan. I don't think this is his utopia simulator. If anything, it reinforces the need for some sort of moral order that only a large population and relative comfort can offer. The absence of a regulatory authority to enforce that order is the libertarian ideal, and all the negative mood penalties for bad things dependent on individual pawn preferences is his deep simulation.

To clarify, I don't think there's any deep political commentary in Rimworld. I don't think he inserted any political agenda into it or its mechanics. I just think it's funny that he holds those beliefs and made a game where people crashlanding on a world with no government are forced to eat rats.

Fwiw, I agree with you except that he's conscious of its "frontier" nature. Any emergence of politics from the machine are interpretations at best. Edit: except for the gender association stuff, that poo poo was weird like the chicken code in stardew.

Naw it was way closer to the sexual situation here. As I recall brown chickens always made brown eggs, and white chickens had a fifty-fifty chance for white vs brown. Either that or the inverse.

Yeah it was the inverse. White chicken genes were basically dominant and would overwrite brown chicken genes, which was loving annoying because to 100% that game you needed to ship both colors. ConcernedApe said that was an oversight though and iirc it is now fixed.

Every pawn has the same flat (I think like 15% chance) to be bi now However the lover acceptance junk is so fiddly that realistically you will notice no difference, and in practice everyone is straight unless they have the gay trait.

A few people reported trying it earlier. I think they reported that it was challenging but pretty sterile, what with no animals or plants outside the base. But that was ages ago so I might be misremembering.

I didn't care for MarsX when I tried it. The only challenge it offered was managing very scarce resources (most of your stuff and all of your colonists come on supply missions from Earth). Oh and also your astronauts poop their pants a lot.

Post-game results generated based on relationship scores of all pawns involved; losing pawns may automatically enter a berserk state, start a social fight with the winner, or attack the table until it is destroyed or they are subdued. As always, let me know how these changes need to be adjusted.
