the easier thing to do with old mines is to just backfill them with wooden walls when you're done with them. anything that has 'overhead mountain' should get a wooden wall if you're not using it. infestations can't appear if there's no ground

You can explore from day 1 as long as you have the right people. Tribals get a bonus to foraging which means a tribal with some plants skill will be able to keep themselves alive indefinitely and bring back food in the process. Once your field is planted send your plant worker off to do a quest or something. A single man caravan will not attract much danger and probably won't get encounters at all most of the time.

Started playing a couple days ago - how do you guys handle compare control in a temperate biome? Toggling heaters and coolers every season or temperature event gets old fast but my small base doesn't have quite enough power off a single geyser to leave both running simultaneously. Also not completely sure what temperature bands to be aiming for, right now I'm just leaving the default 21c for rooms and -10c for freezers. Regarding kill box designs - what makes raiders ignore the side doors? Wouldn't your main entrance also have a door at some point so the entry 'cost' is the same? I definitely had raiders focus on busting through my air conditioners before I starting walling off their exhaust.

You leave your entrance open, Even if all your poo poo is still in sealed rooms inside your base, the open entrance is one less layer of poo poo for them to bust through, so they tend to funnel to it instead.

What can I do to adjust animal spawn type/rate on the fly for a map in progress? Dinosaurs apparently don't spawn in advanced biomes mod's biomes, and there's no obvious patch. Can I edit it in manually or something?

Can I edit it in manually or something? Check the Defs. Each dino in the mod has a tag in its XML like this: code:edit: Rimworld generally has two ways to relate a pair of defs. In this case, either the dinosaur can choose its biomes, or the biomes can choose the dinosaur. The former is preferable in this case because you aren't needing to patch any existing XML to fit your addition, and it means that your addition will fit any edits of those biomes that don't change their defName.

Can't climate control it while it's wide open though? So you have a U shaped base as a result of leaving doors open, and maybe an extra outer shell layer to inflate the cost from other directions?

But yeah, you should build all of your entrances as airlocks anyway to save your rear end against manhunter packs. This is what happens when you fail to do so:    It took a solid couple of minutes to kill them all from inside the bunker with that much massed firepower. Thank god animal AI can't figure out impassable terrain that doesn't block weapons fire. Warmachine fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Nov 3, 2018 |

of note: a held open door counts as an open space for raiders, so if you want to 'climate control' a corridor with a roaring bonfire to superheat any dumb gently caress that comes in you can just build a door and hold it open.

You can also use solar panels if you really want to double down on that. TBH I still do because a battery-enhanced Zzzt is a risk I'm willing to take to save consumable resources.

Even then, there will still be empty space since vanilla solar panels are 4x4 and wind turbines make 5x wide lanes, so it's still a good idea to lay down growing zones.

So how do people build their bases generally? I see a lot of screenshot of everything in one superstructure but I've been doing separate buildings. Seems to be more anesthetic or realistic I guess. I also have no idea what sizes my stockpiles need to be or what the best setup for crafting is. I've made it decently far in this map but we're basically eating rice + insect meat pemmican as fast as I can make it. One of my guys is researching electricity but he's been doing that for loving ages. SSJ_naruto_2003 fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Nov 3, 2018 |

Yeah, it's a grouped thing. Also, I really wish the errors could be more useful in the debug log. Added a bunch of mods, none of which affect world gen and now cannot world gen due to being unable to load module classes or something?.  More investigation is required. Edit: it appears the alien framework mod is currently broken, as that's what was causing issues in pawn generation, which caused world gen to fail as pawns are generated as part of that.

I like to use that planning mod that gives you like six different color planning boxes to build out the majority of my base before the pods even land. Soon as the world spawns I hit pause and plan it out. Usually works out ok, unless the mountain I was planning on building in turns out to be like six tiles of rock and then a huge open expanse  Things I absolutely make sure I plan out: living quarters, rec room, kitchen + freezer, general storage, workshop, growing areas, hospital. Everything else I can add in later, though lately I've been planning my entire base out.

The last couple of comments on the workshop page, allwithin the last few days seem to be having the same issue as well. Testing bears it put. With the mod enabled, no worldgen due to pawn generation errors, without, no issues. I can't see any mods I've added recently that would mess with pawn settings in anyway, so...

Is there a good mod (or just way to) outfit my dudes for a raid ie: Raid alarm goes off, I can make everyone go change their outfits to armor etc then go to their spots on the Defensive positions mod? Just not sure if I have to individually manage gear for each person before going out to defend or not. Seems tedious.

I think the best you can do without mods is individually assign each colonist to a soldier clothing layout, draft/undraft them to get them to change clothing, and set their allowed area to stay inside the outfit area until everyone is prepped. There's a lot of weird in-congruence in the UI where mass assigning behavior is really easy for some types of behaviors and it's a lot of tedious clicking for other types of behaviors.

I found the dumbest exploit. Caravan speed is the average of all human/animals in the caravan. Rabbits are very fast, can graze, and breed rapidly. This makes them ideal caravan additions.

That is entirely consistent with rimworld logic because if you saw a couple of humans wandering along with a swarm of rabbits surrounding them, would you attack them? Bear in mind the insane lethality of swarm tactics in rimworld.
