I just had a doctor fail catastrophically to amputate an arm, resulting in the arm being lopped off. I'll take it.

Gadzuko posted:Can colonists who are incapable of violence still go berserk? If so do they actually fight or just get mercilessly beat down by the first person they encounter? The EPOE talk reminded me of when I put an AI persona core in someone's brain and they kept having random berserk rages, I wonder if a pacifist would skip that drawback. They're fully capable of both raiding you and going berserk

Danaru posted:EPOE 2.0 uses "energized components" (uranium + components) to make the advanced bionics, which is infinitely less annoying than dealing with vancinadium or whatever it was Yeah, the only way I EVER got any vancidium was to buy furniture made of it and disassemble it.

I'm glad I came into the game after EPOE 2.0. I've been thinking of switching to Rah's, but I really don't want to lose this save. A group of pirates overcommitted to raiding my medical facility. They blasted into the adjacent greenhouse to get past the outer walls, but my colonists trapped them inside by going out the front gate and setting up by the breach. When they panicked, the pirates got mulched by automatic shotgun fire as they swarmed their tiny breaching hole. Three pirates survived and were captured, one of them being Rebecca Edwards, nicknamed "Lynx." She was a spoiled child to a wealthy industrial colony manager, who was kidnapped and used in pharmaceutical experiments in her early teens. I reckon it was shortly after this that she fell in with the pirates, because she needs her weekly dose of Luciferium to survive (no doubt a side effect of the experiments). Enter Joshua Marjot, the colony surgeon and research genius. She's a lazy rear end in a top hat, but she knows an opportunity, and gave Lynx an offer she couldn't refuse; get chromed up, join us, and get to live, because where else are you gonna get those little red pills? In spite of the lab/doctor phobia, Lynx is a prosthophile. Now I have the rimworld equivalent of a Street Samurai in my colony. She runs at 12c/s, has twin upgraded power arms, and fully synthetic organs. Every possible part of her body has been replaced with a bionic version, and her brain is implanted with a Painstopper, AI BrainBuddy, and I'm planning on installing an auxillary AI when I find one to spare (Marjot got the medicine one, and one of my other cyborgs, Gecko, has a construction one). If AI Cores didn't cause irreversible berserker rages, I'd slap one of those in her head too.

You're a hungry colonist. You check the pantry. On the left is a can labeled BOILED CORN. On the right is a platter of perfectly roasted human flesh, masterfully carved, beautifully marbled, glazed with a strawberry sauce, and buttered potatoes CHOOSE.

I butcher raiders in batches and make kibble as fast as possible because I have one colonist that sneaks in like a child hunting candy to eat the raw meat. No! That's for the dogs! You'll just make yourself sick again!

Have a colonist, Wong, that mostly just hauls and cleans but *my god* is she good with a shiv. So far, with just her shiv, she's killed two scythers, a black bear, a snow leopard, and several raiders. She's also successfully re-arrested an escaped prisoner a few times. I have no idea what my colony will do when she inevitably dies. (extra animals are from some random mod but not sure which one atm)

A question since I'm still getting used to caravans. If I make peace with a tribe and visit them, can I drop meals on the ground to get them to eat them? Especially if the meals are made from their former raiding comrades? Edit: Is there a way to maximize food poisoning chance? Do NPCs get food poisoning?

npcs can definitely get food poisoning, and other crap. i've had caravan guards get into social fights while they're visiting and one time a loser got his poo poo kicked in and fainted on my property. it was my favorite outlander faction, so i just put him in a bed until he was better. but he left his heavy smg as payment, so all good. anyway, food poisoning chance is set when you cook the meal, and is influenced by the skill of the cook just have some 0 skill cook make a bunch of simple meals and then hope they don't get ate on the way out there i guess, i don't know how that works exactly.

Caravan out with nothing but good survival meals. Once near the base, set up a camp, then air drop in all the discount Charlie's long pig buffet. Then carry it the last square.

Food poisoning chance is also influenced by the cleanliness of the kitchen. Make sure you have blood, dirt and animal poo poo on the floor in the same room as your kitchen!

If not, there's always cryptosleep. Viscous Soda posted:Why only one synthetic rib? I got lazy. When I start making yayo again, I'll swap her entire ribcage for coke sticks. I need to find a candidate for a trader though. I'm looking for a similar set of traits, but with good social, melee, and handling skills.

Does rain have any impact at all on plant growth? You'd think it should but I don't think it does

Flesh Forge posted:Does rain have any impact at all on plant growth? You'd think it should but I don't think it does - Grass comes from other nearby grass within, or the edge of the map (Try burning / using a lot of grazing animals to clear a section) - New grass sprouts after rainfall (I think this also implies more rainfall == more grass on map, but it could just straight up be determined by climate) - Grass starts at 5% and then grows up independently of rain, much like trees or crops So yes, rain affects grass, and maybe other wild plants (harder to tell), but otherwise not really.

Started a new game to try out some new mods, one of which is the Orbital dropship mod (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=31906.0). Turns out not only do you have access to the dropships, but raiders do as well. My first raid was your standard single tribal with a club, and shortly after the second was two guys with pistols. The third, however, was 4 dropships with 12 raiders fully kitted out with machine guns, explosives and RPGs. My 3 colonists armed with a pump shotgun, rifle and golf club were no match. I guess i'll be uninstalling that one until a little later in the game.

Just edit the raid points required to something like 99999999 and the baseChance to 0 and you won't get that type of raid. The author admitted the raids with the dropships were just to see if it's possible, so I edited it out. It's a neat mod. Garfu fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Jul 11, 2017 |
