yeah, i use that trick all the time for idiot losers i can't be bothered to work with anymore. i remember my very first game there was some douchebag who had abrasive, annoying voice, and depressive. this absolute caricature of a human being was loving pissing everyone off and causing social fights left and right so i dropped his stupid rear end into an ancient danger pod until the ship was ready a year later - at which point he popped out of the ancient danger casket and into the ship casket, just being awake long enough to drunkenly stumble to the ship so the AI could push the button. this was back in like A14 or A15 so this was way before exiling was a thing Coolguye fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Sep 26, 2018 |

Waiting for a raid who will path near the ancient danger and sending a pawn to deconstruct/blow a wall.

You have literally all the time in the world to deal with one, so it's pretty trivial to get some turrets and IEDs set up, then have your least favorite colonist deconstruct the wall and run like hell. Assuming that it's not in an easy position to cheese.

Ancient dangers aren't usually too bad in my experience. If you have the tech to deal with mechanoids, you have the tech to deal with anything a danger can throw at you.

bug ancient dangers can be a real problem because they spawn with hives. if you don't deal with them right away, they will become an intractable problem that you might just have to abandon the map for. mechanoid ancient dangers are no problem at all. too bad you can't see which one it is before opening it.

Yall talkin about how it's not optimal to have weird sadistic colony policies misunderstand the entire point of rimworld. It's not called utopiaworld anyways and the challenge isn't to survive it's to see how sadistically messed up of a colony you can keep chugging along at maximum levels of comfort and happiness, duh yall probably played sim city with the disasters off, too. I mean look, I didn't ask for all these psychopath bloodlusty hungry cannibals, but by god I want them to at least be happy here, yknow?

drat, Muffaloes eat a LOT of haygrass! Tried to maintain 10 for some long distance iron trading, but they ate through 6000 units during winter and I had to slaughter half of them. I did get some milk and wool along the way though.

So my current colony's mindset has been that there's no problem that more muffalo cannot solve. My question for you all is, how many muffalo would it take to solve this problem?

My question for you all is, how many muffalo would it take to solve this problem? Depends whether you're using them as soldiers or fuel. Actually, that's a question, if you set a pawn on fire, do they generate heat while burning alive, or only after they die?

My question for you all is, how many muffalo would it take to solve this problem? 2 per spelopede and 3 per megaspider would be safe, in my opinion. The muffalos would have a chance to stun, which would make things nicer. You could probably go 1.5/spelopede and 2 per megaspider if you are okay risking it. 1 per megascarab is generally what I'd use. You only risk a megascarab getting lucky, otherwise, a few hits from a muffalo brings it down. If you've got melee pawns, then bringing them in with the muffalos taking first hit and then dividing up the chance for the bug to hit them next could provide some excellent DPS while providing reasonable colonist protection.

So have construction fail rates been increased? I've got a level 18 architect who has hosed up many, many attempts to build a vanilla ship reactor and has burnt through my entire stock of plasteel trying, and who knows how much uranium and advanced components. Isn't the cost of materials high enough without having to quintuple it with dumbassery?

Construction success chance caps at 100% (around 8 construction skill, I think?) in vanilla, which means that any injury that effects manipulation will add a chance to fail, period. There's a mod I don't remember the name of right now that lets the chance to succeed go above 100 for that specific reason, but otherwise your 20 skill master builder who lost a finger to a squirrel attack two years ago will still have like a 5% of catastrophically loving up.

Good call. She lost a goddamn arm somewhere along the line but was putting out mastercraft furniture anyway. I never noticed. The hell, this game. Upon further thought, she was loving up with laying floor tiles and I was like "huh" but it didn't really click. Details, friends, cost a lot.

I've done this exact same thing and it bred an obsessive tendency to check the health status of all my colonists every quadrum or so just so I'm up to date on stuff that might gently caress up their ability to do their jobs. I've actually started to really enjoy how my long term veteran colonists slowly acquire random replacement parts to fix problems.

If you claim all the exterior walls of an ancient danger building, will enemy sapper raids attempt to tunnel through it? Could you integrate the building into your defensive wall?

Sappers will go through ancient dangers yes, even if they haven't been opened. I once had a 10 man city faction team try to sap me though a very heavily populated insect ancient danger. The dude got hosed up hard, and all but one died, the other dude escaped. Seeing as they had incendiary launchers, they set fire to all the hives and the bugs and exterminated the lot and everything dropped and all the caskets. Once I realised that this was gonna take care of itself I drafted up all my colonists, made them pick up 10 blunts each and line up outside the ancient danger watching. I made them chain smoke all their blunts until they downed themselves while this huge loving train wreck played out in front of them. I can only imagine what a wonderful cinematic experience it would have been to watch, while so high on the weeds you cannot even walk.

I was able to fight off that psyonic ship part by putting my herd in a zone around it, then shooting it with guns while the mechanoids that popped out got mobbed by muffalo. Lost 4 or so, but hey, they got used to their fullest. I may have to tame some boomalopes. I assume I don't nerd to train them to release, just zone a bunch to walk in there.

Yeah that would work, but I just train mine to release in case of a siege or poison ship that requires an excursion. Also, you milk chemfuel from boomalopes and chemfuel gens are pretty good for power.

Boomalopes are basically low tech mortars E: that give frankly a ton of chemfuel

Yeah, I just zone them where I want them to go. They are good against insects since insects melee and then hang around, so a downed boomalope that booms 4 hours later is still likely to be in range to do damage. Plus boomalopes can go undermountain where mortars can't fire. The only tricky part is where you keep them when you aren't using them as walking mortars. One time I didn't notice I'd run out of hay until the boomalopes started spontaneously exploding from starvation. Oops. Now I like to have a stone barn with individual 'stalls' to prevent chain reactions when things go wrong.  This one has the beds 7 tiles apart. 5 seems to be enough to prevent them from igniting the guy across the way if you're short on space. Just don't give the barn wooden floors or use it to store anything flammable (including hay/kibble) in the possible explosion zone. If you wind up with way too many boomalopes it's better to sell them than try to kill the extras, but if you are desperate for food and need to kill a few, having a good shooter stand in the bed opposite a sleeping boomalope and shoot it will often succeed without injury or fire (occasionally the boomalope will be injured without being downed, and start running around while bleeding to death which can be bad). Oh, and on the plus side predators don't attack boomalopes, you can include areas outside the walls for grazing if need be. Though doing that means your workers need to go farther to milk and haul the chemfuel. Everything is a trade off.

AppleDan posted:Dumb new player here, how do you guys solve your early game food problem? I swear my guys eat like 40 tons of meat a day. A fairly extensive rice field will see you through the early game. Rice grows very quickly and in decent quantity, which you can churn into simple meals to keep everyone going indefinitely. You'll want to switch to corn(if you have rich soil) or potatos(if you don't) later on once you feel you have stable food stores because the quick grow cycle and poor-ish nutritional value of rice means it sucks up a ton of farm labor time, but for the early game rice can't be beat, especially if you supplement it with hunting. One of the very first things I do whenever I land is plan out a decent rice field(i try to shoot for at least 9 tiles of rice per colonist, so at least 9x9 for a normal crashlanded start), a cotton field, and a smaller healroot field(if I have a grower capable of growing it off the bat).
