You can get some easy early stone bricks by deconstructing those stone ruins you see lying around. I like to use that for my early freezer so an unlucky grass fire or rear end in a top hat raider can't burn down all my food.

Cowboy hats will go a long way towards surviving heat waves. Early coolers + power are also pretty vital.

I don't suppose there's a mod out there which adds, like, washing clothes and stuff to remove the Deadman's debuff? I'm okay with using mods that just remove it or whatever, but thinking about it, I'd rather have it as a kind of processing thing so after some work I can use dropped stuff. Could even have it by tech stages: Washboard -> Sink -> Laundry Machine -> Nanocleaners or some bullshit, taking decreasing amounts of labor.

WRT battery chat, I use the mod that adds fuses and circuit breakers (haven't updated to a16 yet). Even with that, having one or more battery switched out of the power network is great if you get a zzzzt while you're in a period of low power generation.

i frequently keep a charged battery in storage just so i can johnny on the spot some turrets to a poison or psi ship landing gently caress risking colonists against scythers and centipedes, i'll throw up some stone walls, sandbags, and some turrets from one of the fortifications and be fine.

Earlier in my game I had a colonist tame a rhino and decide to name it Ghostface. I brought Ghostface to a nearby settlement and sold him for some medicine. Now, over a year later, Ghostface came back! He's wild and needs to be tamed again, but his name is blue instead of white which means he apparently still belongs to the faction I sold him to? I don't know but I'm gonna try to tame him again and maybe even keep him this time. Can you release rhinos on people?

Large animals in combat are strong as poo poo, and they're generally really hard to permanently injure or kill, but they mix very poorly with ranged colonists or turrets, they're kind of their own thing.

Is there a downside to leaving fibrous mechanites untreated? My badass 60 year old warship captain granny is my best sniper, and she's a masochist. The "Sick" debuff is smaller than the "Masochist in pain" buff, so net gain in mood, plus she is a lot more lethal with the mechanites going untreated. Her having too much pain isn't a problem because she is a sniper.

Man, I really lucked out with map gen. Mountainous coastal map with river and road where people come from only one direction. The west side of the map has only three entrances, and I walled off two of them, leaving only the river. And that itself is special because the mountain blocks off the northern bank, which means enemies have to go all the way around until they get to the crossing. That is, if they don't turn into pincushions until then! Playing the tribe scenario so I haven't researched turrets yet. Should be even more fun when I do.

If you get mechanites be sure to turn off medicine use on that colonist. Mechanites go away after a certain number of treatments, and it doesn't matter if those treatments are million-dollar glitterworld supermeds or a cold washcloth on the forehead.

Anyone had any luck with using scyther blades? I made two fast guys with blades and shields. "Monster" got one shot through the shield and butcher got repurposed to be human (a real boy!) again. I love how EPOE makes some guys more man than machine. I'm saving components to make the perfect cyborg. In other news Butcher went on a chemical spree resulting in addiction so I nipped off both legs and have his super legs just chilling in a stockpile til he's done. Might do the same to Talks-to-Rats. These guys just don't appreciate me mowing down their enemy faction family members.

Oh holy poo poo, has "set forced target" on improvised turrets always been a thing? Because my current map has two choke points with in gunshot distance of each other and I just realized I can have my turrets plunk away at any vermin passing through without having to waste my colonists time hunting.

GodspeedSphere posted:Anyone had any luck with using scyther blades? I've want to love scyther blades but it's just not worth it. Melee damage gets a multiplier if your weapon is high quality, which scyther blades never are. They just can't compare to a well-made plasteel sword. Surprisingly enough, if you want to make a melee monster, you want to give them cyborg eyes, since melee accuracy is affected by Sight and Consciousness. Manipulation, oddly enough, seems to have no effect on melee (and good thing too, or scyther blades would be even worse). Raising Consciousness is more effective than raising Sight, but it's really hard to raise consciousness without taking dangerous and addictive combat drugs, unless you play with Vegetable Garden, and then you can chug a coffee.

Messes with her consciousness but she's still mobile and can light up a joint. Meanwhile she has a nice +15 buff, that offsets the -5 sick debuff. The mechanites also increase her movement to slightly below full mech legs, so with a sniper rifle she can kite all day. Azhais posted:Who buys them? I've literally never sold one.

Is there a way to just tell your guys to throw poo poo out? I've had a couple of dessicated rabbit corpses clogging up various stores for ages and there's no obvious way to make them get rid of it. Being able to mark anything for dumping as garbage seems sensible but Rimworld doesn't seem to do that?

Make another, bigger dumping stockpile well outside your walls. Make sure that those clogged up stock piles either don't allow rotten or don't allow corpses.

Yeah if people are hoarding corpses it's because either you don't have enough haulers or because you told them to keep the corpses or because you haven't assigned anywhere else to put them.

What determines the cabin fever moodlet? My best artist lost his wife to a warg attack and decided to smoke a shitload of flake to deal with the pain. After multiple attempts to get him clean, I finally had to give him the total Cask of Amontillado treatment and wall him off till he sweated out the addiction. I included a small outdoor dog run area with a horseshoe pin in his

cabin fever increases by staying indoors and lowers by staying outdoors. you did the right thing, it just sounds like the joy activity he had indoors wasn't enough. the only other thing you could have done is load him up with some wood and make him craft a grand wooden sculpture on an outdoor art bench during his time recovering, or make him do research outside. overall, it's sometimes difficult to keep people outdoors for long enough to keep it away when they're sweating out an addiction, and my general advice is to not worry about it. the reality of the situation is that someone going cold turkey is going to be miserable and the best you can do is to try to keep them from going apeshit in a spot where they can hurt other people. walling them off with food and a nice room is really all the more you can hope to do before getting back to the day to day problems of the colony.
