drat I love the WH40k mod but it throws the balance all out of whack. If the regular best weapons in game are t3, WH40k is t5-6. Why sure it's fine to have bolters doing 30dmg aoe with 6 burst on a 3 second warmup That said it rules I just wish I could make everything tougher to compensate.

Is there a way to restrict what animals Vampires feed on? My idiot Vampire will feed on any Thrumbo that enters the map and get his rear end kicked leaving the rest of my colonist to deal with the pissed off Thrumbo.

Definitely, the enemies specific to the mod are pretty crazy, Space Marines have huge health pools. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think the mentality of the mod is that you are role-playing as an imperial subject and your pawns are supposed to be imperial guard stand ins, aka disposable.

I bought this game yesterday and it has taken over my life-- easy question: If I have assigned my colonists to eat lavish meals, will they eat lesser meals if the lavish meals aren't available? I have a ton of simple meals stockpiled but my meat supply is unreliable so the lavish meals may stop soon. I started making lavish meals because I grew way too much food, and my colonists were depressed as gently caress

These days I just feed everyone paste because it's as (if not more?) efficient than pemmican, but keep a handful of lavish meals around as emergency anti-break risk It frees up so much labor, too.

I usually feed prisoners pemmican, having a stockpile in there at 50% fill amount or so. If I’ve got prisoners, I want them happy, so I don’t want to deal with paste negative moodlet. Otherwise, fine meals for days.... occasionally some lavish if 4 thrumbos wander in as the massive corn field comes in. My landing pair had a kid soon after landing (whoopsie!) but luckily, baby was okay hanging in the glowstone cave while the colony grew. Eventually, he was a 3 yo toddler cruising about, playing in the rec room, chatting with guests but was an abrasive kid so sometimes he’d say something... unfortunate. He’d also go eat a snack in the main prison room nearly everyday after playing some hoopstone or horseshoes. And then he went in to get a snack as a prison break happened.  Mom was off on a medical caravan to a local tribal camp, Dad was working the nearby fields. When the break occurred, he and two other colonists were working the crops and they ran to the prison. Two of the six prisoners had stopped to beat the tar out of the toddler, and he went down with a shattered jaw and only a sliver of HP left (red in head and torso). But he was still alive! The four prisoners that left the kid alone ran outside and went towards the 3 colonists - Dad and one other opened fire with a charge rifle and a bullpup rifle, the other waited with a plasteel sword. Other colonists were now coming from the base. The two that beat the kid made a break for the front gate. They started to run across the river. Doc ran in and carried kid to the hospital, while Dad and bullpup rifle went after the escapees. While the prisoners were crossing the deep water, the colonists lined the shore and fired. Both prisoners went down - but were left to drown. Kid recovered, and we built him a bionic jaw.

I tried the children mod once. I had two original colonists that had a baby. STILL a baby, he managed to somehow piss off another colonist, who straight up One Punch Man'd the poor drat baby and killed it. I get invested in my colonists, but not so invested that it genuinely affects me, but this was just brutal and so disconcerting I just shut the whole game down. You'd think as part of a children mod you'd maybe shut down the whole social fight thing? Who realistically gets pissed off at a baby gurgling and decides to defenestrate the drat thing. So yeah, my baby story isn't as fun. Has the children mod and the other one that goes well with it been updated yet?

The Bramble posted:I really envy you for your ignorance. Same. Though to be fair, I'd definitely reload that game. One time he was cruising the dining hall he got food poisoning. I can't remember if it was normal pemmican or if there was still the thing where he'd steal whatever was held in another colonist's inventory to eat and was eating raw food or kibble on the regular. I think there was a mod that allowed colonists to pull food from others stockpiles as a way to fix the caravan stupidity, but for kids it usually meant some... funny, yet oddly accurate, circumstances. Anyway he turned and vomited onto a guest, which as there's not functionality in the game to recognize being vomited on nothing happened other than the room getting dirtier, but man was I laughing at the idea of the kid vomiting on a guest as I've been on the unfortunate end of a sick kid.

I later sold the literal booze hound for like 90 silver but it was very sad to see the little lush go. You just need a priest with level 3 purify.  So a quick update on my necromancer's fortress: A woman named Olive for some reason voluntarily joined the colony that consists of a necromancer and 5 zombies. She was mundane but I had an arcane tome and a druid script and made her a druid. She spent the first few weeks among us constantly moving between minor and major break risks, which changed basically every time she moved where she could/couldn't see a zombie. Now I guess she's used to it. A wild woman named Goboagabal wandered on to the map. The necromancer tamed her and she immediately went catatonic. He put her in a medical bed and cared for and fed her for the loving MONTH she was catatonic. When she woke up, a week later they became lovers and a month or two later got married. He crafted a tome for her and made her into a summoner. They are ecstatically happy together. The zombie army has swelled to 9 zombies up at all times. I have five that are perma-assigned to small areas (cocoa/hay planter, brewer, etc) and the other 4 roam and do random poo poo while all the summoned minions haul things about. Everyone's wearing excellent/masterwork plate and carrying excellent/masterwork plasteel clubs. They beat a T-Rex to death and all it cost was two zombies getting their legs bitten off. One of these legless bastards got corpse consumed during a mana drain. The other one now slowly drags itself around the brewery making wort. The T-Rex corpse sits in the main base freezer waiting for the right moment to be raised and sent out to war. The citadel itself has become a nigh-impregnable nightmare. Anyone landing anywhere to the north of the base faces the exhaustion maze, a standard "climb over these sandbags and rotting corpses in the dark" spiral. There are spike traps scattered throughout. The maze is not long enough to cause most raids to flee, just long enough that they reach the end exhausted, terrified, hungry, and demoralized. The last few dozen yards of the maze require a crawl over a dozen or so rotting corpses and, wouldn't you know it, when you get there the necromancer steps into line of sight and raises 5 of them as cannon fodder zombies. The desperate "raiders" now have to fight tooth and claw against those zombies in the dark. Usually 1-2 of the raiders make it and break out of the maze only to find nine plate-armored plasteel club-wielding zombies awaiting them just outside the entrance. Maximum horror, maximum despair. Anyone landing anywhere to the south of the base must deal with two self-supporting autocannon fortresses centered around two extremely convenient steam vents that allow a minimum of 8-10 autocannons to fire on them at a time and, if they come from straight south, allows all 25 to open up on them at once. In between the fortresses is the Dead Zone, a huge freezer filled with corpses. While raiders struggle over alternating fields of rocks and sandbags, the necromancer simply stands in the Dead Zone and sends wave after wave of fodder zombies at them while the cannons mow them down. At the end the corpses of the raiders replenish the Dead Zone and the zombies rearm the guns while the necromancer rubs his hands and feels evil. Anyone landing inside the base has to deal with the full magical array a high-level summoner can throw out (elementals, turrets, mines) as well as a numberless horde of fodder zombies from Dead Zone 2 aka the brewery. I've had a massive mechanoid ship slam into the middle of the base and ate it alive. When you don't give a poo poo about the dozens of pawns you're throwing at them mechanoids aren't all that worrisome, honestly. Oh poo poo, 10 centipedes! Hand that necromancer a mana potion and forget about it. Oh, is someone trying a siege? Well... that's a shame... FOR THEM. Zombies can keep up a 24/7 bombardment from my 6 mortar pit. They don't get tired and they don't succumb to pressure or threats! When it finally drives the siegers at us they either get the maze or the Dead Zone. There are no good choices here. What I'm saying is, a red box on the right side of my screen is a cause for joy. Oh yes. It's horror time. One tip for anyone who's just going to start A Rimworld of Magic is to prioritize those things up top like Clarity and Spirit over most of the spell-specific upgrades. There are a few exceptions to this (summoners need to get minion 3/3 ASAP for example to get 2 greater minions) but having 25% faster mana generation or an extra 30 or 40 mana is a poo poo-ton better early on than something like -20% mana to one spell. Also, you can put one enchantment on each piece of gear. Look at the gear and enchant it with something it doesn't already have or else the enchant will be lost. If you're wearing a robe with +energy max, +energy regen, and +damage, none of those gems will do anything. Enchant it with -cooldown or -mana cost or something like that and you just made that piece better. Mundane gear like shirts, pants, etc can take one enchantment of any kind. A high-level mage wearing a properly enchanted Robe of the Archmage, Arcane Hood, Staff of Blazing Power, and other mundane gear enchanted is a one-man army. I'd be willing to bet a properly set-up summoner with top gear and a decent defensive base setup could take down a 40-man raid by themselves. By the time they reached your base you could have 20+ elementals backing up 10+ turrets on the other side of a mana minefield. Some people call this OP. I call this loving awesome. Oh and one necro-specific tip: always, always, always keep your mana at like 1/4 or higher and have some potions to drink and corpses to consume because the random event "mana drain" seems to happen a lot and can melt your undead army in seconds if you are at single-digit mana and razor's-edging it with your zombie regen/drain calculation. I know this because I got down to like 15 mana in a situation where I had enough zombies that my regen/drain were perfectly balanced, walked to the kitchen to make a sandwich, and came back to zero zombies after a mana drain occurred. In a related note, gently caress mana drain.
