Is there a 'logic' to what part of the map raiding parties (and other stuff) appear from? Ie, if the closest town is north, do they appear at the north end of the map? If you're neighboring impassable tiles, are those sides 'safe' from approach? I'm just asking re: walling things off, etc.

Being tribal in the desert sucks. I wish there was an option to send out hunting partys to bring back muffalo or whatever. I lost my last guys to starvation.

There is, you just have to caravan out manually. I suggest getting that set up camp mod, it lets you temporarily settle on a tiny map with random but realistic resources anywhere outside an existing settlement.

Is there any way to prevent nudists from putting on clothing? It's really annoying that they hate clothing, so you tell them to take them off, only for them to wander away and get dressed again.

Fayk posted:Is there a 'logic' to what part of the map raiding parties (and other stuff) appear from? Not that I know of. The only thing that'll stop a raid is a solid mountain on one side. I've heard proximity to villages and such will affect the frequency of caravans tho, not that I've done any extensive testing on that.

I wall off any access to my base. Though in current colony, I've found that you can't remove shallow moving water from a river, which will make my defensive setup different than expected... but I'm going to have an inner complete wall with an outer wall supported by turrets and defensive structures, so I can avoid catastrophe via massive warg manhunter packs. I've noticed that raiders always com from south and east - north is completely mountain, which I've dug into - but I'm nestled very close to the west border and haven't had raiders come from the small northwest corner that's open. Caravans have left through there... but no raids yet. I recently expanded my walls to encompass 4 geo vents I've also got the "no parties, no weddings" bug... I removed fog to see if there was a 2nd ancient danger, but there's not another cavern to fit one in. Bleh.

I was playing a no electricity colony and was getting bored so I decided to try the caravan victory. It turns out I was wrong, a 2 year no electricity colony isn't boring, what's boring is having a caravan crawl across the map for hours real time. For some reason my game just can't handle 3x speed while my whole colony is a caravan. I don't know if that's vanilla or because of a mod, Rumours and Deception or Psychology might do it. It doesn't help that the destination is literally the north pole and my colony was in a southern desert. Still, I'm 2/3 of the way there and then I can say I've done it and never do it again. At least not unless there are some major changes to caravans.

Did they change potatoes and/or healroot in a17? I haven't played much of this release, and in the same lovely dirt my healroot was ready to harvest before my first potato crop, which I certainly would never expect in an older release.

Apparently I got a little carried away with my rimworld adventure story while at work. Ripcugel posted:You waited one year to eat that thing bear 1! Just as one of the pawns was able to start to train you... The same thing happened to me, except to a terrier. I have since learned to stash all hard drugs in an off-limits room. Also, if someone has a mental break: binge on drugs, you can barricade the door to the drug room with one wooden wall and it stops them from consuming any drugs. They just wander around with the mental break happening and can't path to any drugs. Easy fix

Tynan doesn't own a Rim-Story anymore than Toady owns Boatmurdered. And any legal system that says otherwise is one that deserves to be ignored and all the lawyers that help it function should be butchered in the warg shed, after they freeze/starve to death.

I've been thinking about a mod like this that saved 1 screenshot at noon each day and then also saved screenshots during major events and kept a running text log so that you could recap your playthroughs later.

There's an archive mod that logs all notifications, which is useful for me when I forget to check if I'm being seiged or raided. I think there are non mod screenshot utilities that will take picture every X minutes

I find myself savescumming with Randy lately. 5 colonists, plague 3, then before the plague wears off, heat wave into raid (tribal, no ac yet). Ok randy, I get it, you want my colonists to die. Rather than restarting from scratch, I savescum to 3 other events that are more manageable that don't mandate a full blow out. edit: if you're newer to RimWorld, I highly recommend savescumming while you get to know the game. You can still learn from mistakes without having to completely restart your tribe.

Efexeye posted:you can also just tab out and close the window then pick up a little while before you got hosed, rolling the dice on a better event popping Yeah, I usually let it play out to see how hard I would have gotten hosed, and how I can make my base better. Then I load the last safe autosave. I usually find the "start" of games the most interesting (IE: stellaris) and get bored mid-late game. But Rimworld is the exact opposite; the start sucks, but mid-late game is where it gets super interesting when your pawns can actually keep up with what you want to do.

By the time you're rerolling for softer events in the first 2 or 3 years you might as well play with Cass and switch to Randy when your headcount is straining against Cass's limit or the clockwork raids are feeling silly.

These ones are required IMHO http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=818773962 HugsLib - Needed for other mods. (I'm not even sure if any of my installed mods need it, but I understand that I could need it, so I have it) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=857164561 Stack Merger - I loving hate how they leave small stacks of resources everywhere. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=936562361 JT Replace Walls - Upgrading walls from wood is no longer a chore. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=776679895 Hand me that Brick - Allows you to have a dedicated hauler, as now they'll haul resources to blueprints so your skilled workers can focus on building. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=839849806 RimHair Styles Merged - More hair styles. Vitally important. These are more optional http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=942690136 Quarry - I really dislike the scan and drill thing going on in the base game. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1095331978 Prepare Landing - It's nice to be able to say "I want Granite and marble, and also at least 30 days of growing in a boreal forest, plus a river" http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=948572545 Trading Spot - I will admit, I die before I get to use this one, but I would like to make a center for traders, I dunno why, but it really bothers me how they just wander around my base.

the reason they are allowed to wander your base is just because people set up "oops" traps to hurt and then rescue traders to grind rep or some similar stupid crap if you allow it to be designated. if you just promise to yourself that you're not going to force traders to go into a heated area in order to make them pass out from heatstroke so you can 'rescue' them and steal their guns then it really only makes more sense to have a designated market zone.

Also because they decide to set up shop next to the barn way off to the side, instead of the loving roofed over supply stockpile I mean Christ guys it's right there, there's food and horseshoes and a table and it's right near the entrance but NOOOOO you've got to trample through my fields to hang out in the rear end end of nowhere because one of you wants to leer at my chickens.
