That all said, I do have kind of an odd question. I remember that there was some controversy with how the game handled LGBT folks. I read a bit and it seemed like the developer just either did not understand us much or was "indelicate" with the coding.
The game has hidden "attraction to women/men" stats for each character, which meant that the developer needed to put numbers to them. Not knowing any better, he used the numbers published in the OK Cupid blog, which in turn meant there were a lot of bi women and almost no bi men.

Mix a bit of clueless, hamfisted developer who has no PR experience feeling defensive with today's media, and you get a story.

Please God link me to the mod that lets me right click on things and command people to smelt them or burn them or whatever. After ~700 hours I should be better with the bill system but it just tires me out. There has to be a mod that does this, but I'll be damned if I can find it.

But agreed, worth every penny, buy the game.

There is indeed a mod that does exactly what you require. I lost it myself during the update from 16 to 17 and onwards, but i believe this may be the one:

Oh look, it's a super handy click and play steam mod, with all dependancies listed and linked. :v:

Is it possible to install both a bionic leg and a bionic foot on the same leg? I'd love it if it were possible.

I've played this game for 711 hours and somehow not had the idea to just stack all my bionics on a single super-soldier; always spreading them out instead. I'm gonna have to give that a shot.

I was wrong. She's going at 17.6 c/s right now, and there's at least two augments left that boost speed, and due to a mod, two researches that will give a total of +50% speed left. That the armor she has is blue and spiky is just a hilarious coincidence.

ultimately bionics are one of the primary things you want to be trading for, since they make your duders objectively better but they don't add wealth to the colony after they've been installed on someone (last i checked, anyway)

I note that when starting a caravan, colonists with higher skills and bionics are listed as more expensive, so it could take them into account, but it’s a much smaller cost impact than having a new bionic lying around.

Logically, there must be a point at which the engine is no longer able to animate the full movement in the time that they should take to get to their targer, so would they just blink to where they're going, or would it cap their movement?

A good kitchen setup can help reduce, if not completely eliminate, this problem.



put a stockpile of vegetables and a stockpile of meat on either side of the kitchen station, set to critical priority. Then set up your bill so that the pawn just drops the meal when they're done cooking. That way they'll just grab ingredients immediately available and drop the meal, banging out several meals in rapid succession since they don't have to move, meanwhile some other schmuck does the actual hauling and, hopefully, keeps their ingredient piles stocked.

If you don't use the fridge mod you can either refrigerate the whole room (will slow work speed a bit) or accept that there might be some food spoilage eventually.

If you're running vanilla, I believe the best set up is electric stove, then a parallel row of 3 stools, then another row of 3 stools, and a reversed stove beneath it. Set the top 3 stools to be a meat stockpile, bottom 3 as veggies. If you're not using a stack size increasing mod, I'd just throw it in the freezer.

Someone correct me but that's what I do.

Ffffffuuuuuck. I don't know what mod has caused it, but I have been running into issues where my colonists don't want to do anything at all. I get repeatedly informed that like three of my colonists at a time have nothing to do, and then I look and they've either left a project half finished, or just aren't even starting on their priority 1 job, despite me queuing up like a dozen of that job. The only thing that I think could have caused it was a mod that lets you terraform, since that's all I've added since my last play session, since I wanted to do a mega-project where I set up a lush oasis in my super dry arid scrub-land (and finish taking over like half the map in the process).

E: Or maybe it was the cult mod. Or installing A Dog Said. Or maybe it was shuffling my load order around a bit. But apparently not the terraforming bit. This is a pain.

Crafting, cooking, construction, etc. I had, say, two stoves with five different work orders cued up. My two chefs were constantly going to play in the rec room with >75% joy, despite my meal stocks falling. My crafter would abandon his projects constantly just before completion. I had multiple people set to construct, set up some construction orders, but none of them did anything.

Found the culprit though, it was ADS. Disabled that and everything works fine again.

This is not correct, flowerpots don't actually create a grow zone, so yes forbidding them is what you do if you don't want things planted there.

Today I learned that tool boxes speed up butcher tables :science:

the window for it being a huge deal is pretty short. if you're working with an unskilled but interested cook and you make that their primary responsibility you can have them cooking fine meals in about a week, and close to 10 within a season. cooking skills up pretty fast if you're allowed to focus on it.

poo poo will suck hard core during that week to a season, no question, but that's more a function of the food poisoning than the food throughput

Watch the neighbor end up being part of or historically involved with local law enforcement.

I've heard some stories from horse/large animal veterinarians regarding the poo poo that rural law enforcement affiliated people get away with in regards to the treatment of their animals.
