IIRC dropships has fallen by the wayside since it was a spinoff of the guy's WH40k project, and he's focusing his efforts on that, so as of right now it is unsupported.

Yeah, I was a total dropships fan until it started getting wonky at the last update. I found Giddy Up and have never looked back - add in animal armor and now I can have a plasteel armored, personal shield wearing thrumbo carrying a brawling plasteel longsword colonist, who is also wearing a personal shield. Not that I’ve ever gotten a thrumbo in the last few play throughs, but a guy can dream right?

Reusable Drop Pods does pretty much everything Dropships did in a less fancy way.

Do these drugs even work? I'm working on a rescue commando team but they were unable to even build shelter without falling asleep on the ground so I started sending drugs with them. On their first mission they each popped a dose of go-juice and instantly fall asleep on the ground. In the middle of -67 degrees Celsius weather. Same when using "wakeup" It's a pain in the rear end when the weather is that cold and you have to make the workers build the roof one pixel at a time manually while the person you're saving is bleeding and naked with seconds to live.

make a pet sleeping spot, forbid the area to animals, use that as your range. i recommend setting it up against a hill or something so you don't have a stray bullet go hit something that'll go manhunter on you.

Had a green tiberium rock drop outside my arctic mountain base, the drat thing spawned next to no crystals but now the entire outside is tiberium moss that wrecks up caravans who refuse to use my safe pathway  I'm just going to build some sonic towers and smash the thing, I can't even get any free steel off it.This also happened: https://twitter.com/HetzerGonnaHetz/status/1021849744283496450?s=09 But at least red tiberium refines into Uranium and is far more easily manageable. All the tiberium is causing ion storms too which REALLY won't be good considering I'm on a rogue planet, and the winters won't be getting warmer.

Meanwhile I had a colonist die at the entrance to the base. For some reason they refused to cremate him so he would just lay there while people complained that he wasn't getting a funeral. Then I got the bzzzt event and a cable exploded near him and his body burned up in something like 10 seconds. The lord Randy is good at times.

it has for a while. horseshoes also trains shooting. it just does so extremely slowly, and furthermore, you can't prioritize/force that labor if someone is maxed on Fun. what they need is an actual target to shoot at and a place to shoot real guns for 4+ hours at a time. which, as before, is a pet sleeping space in an area forbidden to pets and pawns. ideally you have a backdrop of a natural rock formation, but failing that a clear line of fire out some 20 tiles behind the target is fine. draft the colonist and tell them to fire at the sleeping space. then let them do that until you get a break alert and undraft them. it's fiddly and annoying and you should be able to just institute a range and a training labor that forces pawns to train up to an arbitrary shooting skill, after which they stop training. but if you want to do it without mods and without implementation problems, there you go - it's a way to get your pawns up to shooting level 10 simply enough, not that you should ever ideally rely on that score.

I don't know, letting people spend 4 hours a day at the range for no cost seems unbalanced. It would be different if guns needed ammo, but as it is the only cost is losing that pawn's labour for the hours spent training.

that's a pretty high cost, especially early on. on Rough or worse especially i have no idea where i would find the time to have people train in the first year at least. even if you're unskilled at everything but shooting, i need you hauling and cleaning so the people who CAN do things won't get distracted by stupid poo poo like moving stone blocks to stockpile, putting medicine reagents near the drug workbench, moving crops from the field into the warehouse or the raw foods freezer, or shifting meals to the dining room's freezer.

I'm not sure when it was added, but the current 1.0 build gives a reduction to animal revenge chance based on the colonist's shooting and animals proficiency. I'm not sure what it would take to get it to 0%, but it might make minigun hunting a viable way to keep them training their shooting in late game.

It's a pretty big hit to mood and productivity to have all soldiers at the range for a day in exchange for a pretty small gain so I think it's fair.

This right here. EVERYTHING YOU DO HAS AN OPPORTUNITY COST. Games like this are fundamentally about balancing those costs. Yes, shooting and hauling are both productive, but you have to pick one, and thus forego the benefits of the other. Once you're at the point where you are generating surplus fine meals, then this trade-off becomes more favorable. Get efficient enough at meeting pawns' basic needs, and then you can start having pawns that are specialized in production that isn't dedicated to meeting needs, such as art, crafting, and yes dedicated soldiering. Its that old argument from MMOs how gathering materials to sell isn't "free." The cost is whatever else you could have done instead of gathering materials. Always remember that, especially when playing Rimworld.

At some point I'm going to test using the path cost mod and setting the range-side wall adjacent tiles to high cost while a tunnel behind the walls has low cost. I'm hoping it means anyone repairing the walls from missed shots, since IIRC the dev made the dummies themselves heal automatically. I don't even care a ton for the skill gain but I like having a cool looking barracks with a firing range

Bullets don't actually fly past things, they land in a radius around them. Or as someone else said, outside. You can put a roof over the firing positions if you want to as well, put the targets downrange in the open, will get your shooters some fresh air too.

There used to be an old like, a14 mod that let you create a hive mind, and everyone linked added skill points to each other with major debuffs if someone died. Then in A17 a dude was making a playable Borg mod but A18 came out and he never bothered to update it. My point is theres no social fights if all are one. I feel like theres a lot of potential with the hive mind stuff

I just want to play as the Insects. Edit: or maybe a xenomorph hive. Every animal you grab and impregnate gives you a drone, every wandering caravan, wild man or extermination raid you face gives you the chance to get higher quality aliens duders, etc. You could go cross country and get more hosts from caravan encounters or from attacking settlements.
