I have the best modded sharpshooting turrets and sniper colonists around, but none of that matters when a manhunter pack of 33 chinchillas surprise attacks.

Surprise, many of Tynan's ideas about what makes a good game are actually really terrible. On the plus side he's exposed pretty much everything to be overridden by mods :shrug:

I actually kind of like needing janitors and busy work. Having my colonists be slightly dumb feels somewhat realistic, although it goes overboard sometimes. I wish "no hauling" was something that made sense even slightly, like "no hauling heavy objects". Not being willing to lift a finger to bring crops in from the field when your life literally depends on it is a bit much. Same for cleaning, maybe they do a lovely job and won't clean much but at least clean the massive blood pool up off the floor please.

Yeah, I can understand someone refusing to do cooking and cleaning because they were part of glitterworld corporate nobility or whatever, but not carrying the god drat berries they harvested back to base? Yeah, pretty silly.

Speaking of hauling, it would be great if the carrying capacity was adjustable. For instance, backpacks as wearable gear that add 10/20/30 lbs to carrying capacity (at the cost of perhaps a small penalty to movement) would rock. It would also give me a way to use all this leather I've got in storage... I found a few mods for this but they haven't been updated since like A12 or A15.

Even something like "won't haul" or "won't clean" being changed to "hates hauling"/"hates cleaning" where they'll do it if the labor is enabled but they get a lovely moodlet about it. That way you as a player can decide whether a particular situation warrants the crappy mood or not.

Hunters that won't haul can eat my butthole. Anything that distracts them and welp hope you like your venison lightly rotted. Though I have done things like set no haulers right next to a pile of mined out steel to prioritize building something right next to the storage zone and cancelled the project when they arrive.

Dumb either way.

i have set up a dumping zone for humanoid stranger corpses that encompasses pretty much the entire rim of my map

i kinda like it this way since the corpses stay way out of the way and only require a single haul to deal with, and also it rims my territory in the decayed skeletons of my foes

Is there some way to have your cooks deposit the meals they make nearby, then have them moved to the dining area by less skilled pawns, ideally quite a few at a time?

Inside the bill details (where you set "create X simple meals") you should see an option to "take to best stockpile." You can change that to "drop on floor."

Note to self: Posting 'lulz' is not a good idea.
I depend pretty heavily on the misc robots mod for hauling and cleaning because it's a huge pain in the dick otherwise.

Besides, if we have burrito delivering quadcopters and roombas in TYOOL 2017, we should have them in the year 5XXX :colbert:

Lol it might need a tad bit of balancing.

Being in darkness is -3, being naked is -6, sick is -5, freezing cold is -10, and the first stage of starvation is -22. So what's worse: A) being sick, freezing cold, naked, starving and in pitch-black darkness (-46 Total) or... B) having to haul some corn to a stockpile (-75)?

If you're playing the cultist mod, you can sacrifice a prisoner in exchange for getting rid of the backgrounds that stick you with various Incapable of Things, and I'm sure we can all agree it's a small price to pay, disemboweling a helpless prisoner in exchange for the ability to wipe up vomit :shrug:

So is the lore for that that the ancient horror from beyond time and space is going back into the past and changing the useless idiot's childhood, or are they just doing terrible space magic brain surgery to fix whatever's broken in their brain?

Anyone know if the cult mod plays well with the Jedi mod? And also the Leadership mod I guess.

The same guy made them so I would think so technically they probably work, but as far as gameplay...

This may be a long shot, but does anyone know what mod causes random roof collapses? I'm thinking it might be Fluffy Breakdowns but I'm not sure.

Mzbundifund

I'm afraid so.
Unless it's a very new addition to the mod, Fluffy Breakdowns doesn't affect roofs at all. Are you getting random collapses when there isn't any wall/rock demolition happening nearby? Because under default vanilla rules any roof that is more than 5-6 or so (I forget the exact distance) from the nearest supporting wall will collapse.

Use prepare carefully to name colonists after friends (even give them matching if a bit exaggerated descriptions/skills), put Rimworld on a projector, hang out socially while someone pilots the game.
