Growing potatoes in hydroponics is even worse. Although now you mention it I don't think I'm going to be able to set up hydroponics bays without walk spaces now. I'd never thought about it before, but it does seem wrong. You've ruined it for me

This is the exact design I use and I tend to also put heaters or stone chunks in the open spaces. If you leave a walkway around the outside or unfilled tiles inside the circle your pawns are monumentally stupid and spend half their time in the room going "up" and "down" on and off the hydroponics basins getting slowed down each and every time. I force them to climb "up" one time to get into the room and then loving stay there until they leave the room instead of being idiots.

Here is my base. About 4 or 5 years old. 'Suppy's Hope.' Named after a redoubtable lesbian marksman with an incredible modded weapon from the Rimsenal mod who has saved the day several times. Other standouts: Seymour the second in command; skilled at everything; always keeping the base on its feet when times are tough. Rebecca the brilliant medic and greenthumb but worthless pacifist who sits in bed and cries herself to sleep whenever there's a raid. Coyote the brain damaged asthmatic 70 year old mayor who wanders around and makes artwork. Camel the psychologically sensitive brilliant tribal crafter who had his mom, dad, and sister killed in a single raid, and stumbled around outside for about year afterwards in an insane depression (mostly over it now). I usually get bored at this stage of development so things aren't going to get much bigger.  I typically run embrasures and limited turrets. There are no natural chokepoints on this map. So I designed my fortifications to create interlocking lines of fire like an early modern star fort. Embrasures are not much better than sandbags in my opinion but they can facilitate a lot of creative base design. The big advantage here is that embrasures are temperature sealed. Which is helpful for the alpine biome this base is in where it can get down to -40 or -50 in winter. Many of these halls were often -20 until I got geothermal up just recently and are therefore irresponsibly filled with my overflowing potato harvest.  Here is a better look at the mature 'utility tunnel' system I've steadily dug into the big mountain to the east of my original settlement. These tunnels facilitate command of a lot of the map. But they are my biggest security weakness if/when there are tunnelers or infestations because only two or three defenders can command fire down them at a time. Some sections of these halls are trapped and turreted for this reason. But there are probably more comprehensive defense solutions that I need to spend some time thinking about.

It seems like tool cabinets don't block movement at all. Pawns just happily run through them at full speed.

Pharnakes posted:Growing potatoes in hydroponics is even worse. You’re welcome. That reminds me of other Rimworld issues. Is there a boat mod, or just drop ships and hovercraft in terms of mobility? I’ve seen a few vehicle mods that I’m curious about... trying to take as much pain out of caravaning as possible while still being able to do it. I’ll also probably run the fishing mod, because why not fish? Also, making medicine out of sea cucumbers is just too funny. When folks run melee pawns, if you’re looking to try and down as many as possible but not kill, I assume mace is best. Plasteel seems fine - fast swing, slightly lower damage. Or should I just use wood? I applaud y’all that do the super cold runs. I love jungle too much - I enjoy having to manage the fauna, so I added the Megafauna mod and Dinosauria too to keep it even more interesting. Those embrasures look awesome - a mod, I assume. Makes sense, and they don’t sound too ridiculously good... I’ll need to look that one up. I enjoyed Industrialization for the added nuclear power plant... I’ve seen Rimatonics but drat that looks complicated. What other power generators do people use? Or maybe the chemfuel generator and boomalope managing makes those in A18 vanilla a viable path?

I really like it when he adds his version of mod features into the base game... less mod dependencies and it just makes vanilla feel more complete.

DogonCrook posted:There is one north of me in a cave system thats open. When a bandit or raid comes they head up there and die. The bugs come out after and head towards me for a bit but they always stop and turn around halfway. I have no idea what thats about but temporarily anyways they are a huge benifit. That cave is just a pile of weapons now lol. Playing with this a while, the hive is basically a "leash" for the bugs that belong to it, they won't go outside of a certain radius of it (something like 30 tiles). As long as it's above freezing the hive spawns jelly periodically, which the bugs eat, but if it gets too cold the hive dies and the bugs stop being constrained and also get hungry.

Now that B18 is out I think this would be a great time to track what mods people really love. I was thinking of putting together a Google Form that folks could fill out and aggregate the Goon approved stuff. What do you think?

I’d contribute to that. I’m not good at finding mods other than through Steam with the popular or most subscribed buttons, so seeing what others use and why could be useful to get more in my list. I do think a tiered vehicle system would be awesome to help caravaning. Animal pulled carts that decrease the rate of pawn needs decay and increase cargo load while slightly slowing it down - maybe useful for those in areas with quick traffic routes (like if roads made things faster?).. Early internal combustion engines in both truck and personnel transport varieties, with advancements that increase fuel efficiency, speed, and cargo carrying ability.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Here's the form: https://goo.gl/forms/X0GIFtGwQmJOQKw33 Just have it link to rimfridge and call it a day. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to differentiate between enhancement/QOL mods and addition mods. A mod like Hand Me That Brick or Path Avoid alters the way vanilla plays out in a way that generally answers a frustration but doesn't really impact the way the base game plays. As opposed to a mod like, say, Glitter Tech or Bionic crafting mods which fundamentally shift the way the game is played and how balance plays out. But that can be a fairly subjective view. Also. You know. Effort.

Is there a way to force your current mods to update if an update is available? I subscribe to all of mine through steam workshop and I see that hugslib is ready for B18 but I can't seem to find a way to make it update.

The only two mods that are left without updates that I use are Hospitality and Psychology. Almost there... Once I get this next game started I’ll add to that Modlist. I’m trying a few new minor change and fluff mods.

The interactions with pawns have been improved. They can have rivals now. Had a bunch of fistfights after insults but they dont use weapons anymore when it happens. Well they havent so far lol. Its not as in depth as psychology mod but with the new events that areas been improved alot. I also had a guest. There are no guest beds or anything but hospitality or something like it may be in eventually. Theres really no point i could see to the event now.
