Doesn't the rainforest description say disease is more likely, or is that just flavour text?

I get diseases I normally don't get in tropical areas. And in higher frequency. Either that's the case, or I'm getting better at Rimworld so my colonists have time to develop diseases.

It was OK at first, but as the doctor's own plague progressed, the 20% penalty to his manipulation prevented him from applying high enough quality treatments to the others. And he had to self-tend, which has a penalty on its own. If you want to fix that you can add a global modifier in a custom start that increases the immunity gain speed multiplier by like 10%. Basically it will make bedrest really good at treating disease.

basic hitler posted:do ancient ruins ever justify themselves? The last one I opened, i had to kill 3 megaspiders. I lost a guy, a bonded pet, and another really useful guy lost an arm and a leg. For my troubles I got a stack of 10 gold, a flamethrower or some thing like that, and a cryopod with a hostile lady in it who proceeded to maim another guy before she was killed in the fight. Sometimes they are targeted by raiders ♡

The pods themselves can be useful and disassemble for materials.

Hey guys, maybe you can help me out. I switched to a new laptop and reinstalled Rimworld and downloaded my mods through Steam. Nothing funky so far. But then I get into the game, and instead of downloading all of my mods, it just downloaded like the first four. The rest are stuck as "Downloading..." forever. I tried verifying the game files, but no dice. Any suggestions on how to get them working?

The game itself doesn't handle downloading of mods, that's Steam.

There are some work-arounds which are explained in the Steam support forum, but on cases where verify doesnt work, in my opinion the only surefire option is the full remove local installation-reinstall-cycle. Just tell Steam to keep the local settings and save files.

What method does everyone use for cracking open ancient dangers? I set up sand bags outside, shot a hole in the wall with all my guys, and then sent my pacifist pyro in to open the first casket. I've heard of people building wooden rooms around the opening and setting everything on fire to raise the temperature inside, to kill bugs. Last danger I cracked open, only about 2 of the 6 guys were able to fight, 1 died almost immediately from his wounds, 1 got up and just walked off the map, and 1 died due to a stray bullet. I captured the last lady and she actually had decent stats, and also apparently loving HATED the rest of those guys. She had 3 "rival died" bonuses.

i handle ancient dangers by using a modified version of the attack bunker that i keep posting. i just use double-thick walls, inner walls made of wood, with an incendiary IED right in front of the turret's sandbag. then to reveal it i simply have someone disassemble the wall and run the hell away. in this way: 1) if it's mechanoids, they will gently caress around, attack the turret at a range, and the turret will win 2) if it's hostile humans, they will generally attack the turret at range, the turret will win. if they're heavy melee they will step on the IED, roast themselves, and the turret will continue firing. 3) if it's bugs, they will charge the turret and step on the IED, which will set the inner walls on fire and roast themselves though since A17 i'll probably just switch to simply using wooden floors because gently caress double thick walls on defensive structures they're annoying i tend to crack open ancient dangers once i have IED tech and a turret to spare. the cryptosleep caskets in ancient dangers are very nice tools to have around if someone is hosed or something.

They chased the bugs down and got slaughtered, but there were enough of them fleeing that some of them survived long enough to kite the bugs to my nascent base and kill everyone.

I managed to save 3 of the 4 but it took so much effort and more or less ground everything to a halt. Then a few days later it threw it at me again. So I said gently caress it and abandoned the colony, turned both of them off, and set immunity gain to 110% because I did not find that disease/infection was all that fun of gameplay.

While we're on combat tips -- any general advice on dealing with sappers? I lost my last colony because I got overexcited and rushed to meet them before the mountain i was hugging was full of holes. Frontal assaults haven't been much of an issue for me so far (I haven't got to any huge invasions though), but when they come at me sideways like this.. goddamn.

I had an unguarded item cache opportunity pop up yesterday. When my caravan got to it, there was a waiting pack of manhunter cats. Somehow the pawn ran off the map and I lost the item cache. Anyone else have something like this happen?

with sappers i just try to rush them with melee guys since the grenadiers can't really fight back once you're inside their range. as for rocket launchers...i hope you got a sniper rifle and someone with 12 shooting

there's a handful of things you can do with sappers. most of them are more advanced in terms of stuff to do but it's worth bearing in mind as you design things. the number one thing to do is to give them a false node of wealth to target. tombs work best for this. build some sarcophagi out of wood and bury dead raiders in them. this causes the tombs to be worth a fair bit, and therefore makes it more likely that dummies will target them during a raid. put these false wealth nodes behind thinner walls than normal to make them even more attractive. inside the tomb you can then just place an incendiary IED or something like that to torch the place. the gently caress do you care anyway the more generalized thing you do is to make a kind of bunker entrenchment behind questionable sections of wall or mountain. these should be nothing more than stone walls, with u-shaped sections to place turrets, and capped with a sandbag. they should not be crewed full time - that's a huge waste of resources. if you have a sapper show up near the questionable section of land, quickly reappropriate turrets and a battery, get them going, and use either a trained animal or a colonist with a personal shield to adjust the dorks into the facing of the bunker. once they're engaged with the bunker and distracted you can maneuver other colonists to flank and finish them.

EvanTH posted:I played this game a little bit but I couldn't get through any of the combat without save scumming it was kinda frustrating What helped me was turning on permadeath mode and just accepting the fact that people will die and bases will implode. When I had the ability to save scum I got a lot less enjoyment out of the game. Once you lose a couple bases you learn how to defend them a little easier. If you are looking for an easy start I recommend mountain maps they are a lot easier to wall up and defend; also the lone rich guy start gives you a charge rifle and plenty of medicine which is super powerful.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not too tech-savvy sometimes. I uninstalled RimWorld and tried to delete all of the files in its folder, but Windows throws a fit about permissions every time I try to delete the Mods folder, even after giving administrative privileges. Now the game just shows up as "Download paused" on Steam. I'm re-downloading the game now; it got to 100%, but now it says Download paused and when I try to play it, I get a pop-up saying the following: "An error occurred while updating Rimworld (missing file privileges:) c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorldMods\Core\About\" Sounds like I might have to go talk to Steam support when I'm feeling better and my sinuses aren't exploding. Going to try rebooting first. update: Lol, that made it worse. Now I can't even start installation. OK, I give up for now. A Spider Covets fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Jun 9, 2017 |

Anybody know of any mods that will let you assign specific colonists to bills on crafting benches? For example I only want my best crafter making power armor, and I only want my cannibals butchering humans. I thought I saw something like this for a17 but I can't remember what it was called. Edit: just had a prisoner bug out, I released him, but he was in so much pain that when his smokeleaf high wore off he collapsed in the middle of my base. Then I noticed he was missing a leg, so I had someone slap a peg leg on him. But they took him back to his cell to do it, and now he's locked in there, but he's already been released so my wardens won't acknowledge him. So he's just in there pacing and starving because I can't even force someone to bring him food or let him out. A Moose fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Jun 9, 2017 |

It also sounds like Win10 is trying to run Steam on different priviledges (or even different user) as yourself. You have given Steam full permissions on its installation folder and its subfolders? (Or other way around, have not denied anything?)
