Got my new settlement's first siege yesterday. Realized that pretty much the only major structure not dug out into the mountain was the food stores, which instantly got set on fire via enemy fire. Got a little dicey there for a sec but we all ended up fine. Also got the settlement's first infestation event. Thankfully the map has the caves special feature, and the natural caves are considered fair game for the bugs to spawn in. They're a decent ways away from my base. How far will they spread if ignored? Will they ever flip out and just start rushing me?

Bummer. It is along a route that raiders occasionally use to get to my base, I was hoping those two problems would take care of themselves. Well time to get half my colony killed fighting bugs. I guess I can try building some walls where they can't see and setting fires inside. Likely easier to safely do that than in my actual base.

I'm pretty sure something is bugged out in my giant list of mods and I'm not getting normal raids. I only seem to get cosmic horror raids, and infested ship parts falling on my farms. I'm going to try to remove the cosmic horrors from my mod list (which is probably going to gently caress up my save) but does anyone have any other ideas what might be causing this?

You can always make a custom scenario that gives you regularly scheduled raids. I don't remember if you can adjust scenarios while you're playing like you can storytellers, though.

is it normal to end up with a modlist that's close to 200 mods? it feels like there are so many mods that add tiny little improvements to things that become impossible to live without (underground conduits, quarries, mods that add alerts to poo poo like blights, etc.) and lots of mods that completely rework hyper specific things into completely different and new systems that it's nearly impossible to find a mod in my subscribed list i want to actually dump. my nightmare modlist: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1575682180

If you want to experience basically constant combat be between three bad boy settlements. Speaking of, does it matter what direction your enemies come from based on the direction of their settlement? Because it's loving obnoxious having to basically make a mega fort to have an semblance of consistent, reliable defense.

Save it and then spam raid generation in Dev Mode and see if you can basically force a pirate raid - if it works through Dev Mode, it should work in regular game. It may just be highly unlikely to happen.

Do you all gently caress with caravans in the early game? I've only been playing for a few days and I'm up to 7 colonists and a huge surplus of cotton and dusters that wandering merchants never want to buy. I keep getting tempted by the AI with various caravan missions and figure I can dump this huge stockpile of clothing I've been churning out. I'm on the fence if it's worth it. I finally reached the point where I have enough people to prioritize each of the various tasks, but if someone is down for whatever reason then everything grinds to a halt. I'm very risk averse because the last time I did a caravan I messed up and didn't send enough food, and then the merchant basically went into a psychotic daze on the return trip after a major break. I sent almost my entire settlement on a rescue caravan because if that dude died I would have rage-quit anyway.

Pretty much just subscribe on the workshop, and activate in the main menu. It'll even tell you if your load order needs to be changed due to dependencies.

I finally reached the point where I have enough people to prioritize each of the various tasks, but if someone is down for whatever reason then everything grinds to a halt. Depends on the reward. I don't think I've ever bothered with incapacitated refugees/prisoners (seriously, with as many idiots come to my door and how bad the quest ones are, I'd need to be told what I was getting upfront, and they'd need to be above average for me to care,) but I'll dive on an item stash or base kill mission if the reward is good enough (early game chemreactors are dumb.) That said, it's absolutely worth it to go caravanning to sell to your neighbors since settlements usually have more cash and better poo poo to trade than their caravans. If you have an even half decent crafter, have them convert your spare textiles into clothes first; it's good practice and sells for a lot more than the raw materials.

Honestly, that list is great. Arguably you might not want the forced slowdown mod, but. If you're super serious about keeping things vanilla then of all those mods RimHUD and medical tabs should 100% be in the base game for sure.

No Forced Slowdown just stops the game from preventing you adjusting speed after an alert; by default it still drops the game back to normal speed when poo poo happens, you can just immediately go back to 3x instead of having to wait 20s. I'm not a fan of interaction bubbles; the poo poo colonists talk about is utterly inane (since it's procedurally generated) and it just winds up cluttering the screen. Maybe if they changed it to a Sims style emoticon set that got the general gist across without covering the screen in text balloons.

My current game is just infinite poison and psychic ships even though I'm near 2 hostile tribes and 2 pirate factions. I guess it means unlimited plasteel but ugh, so much wasted on mortar shots just to bait them into the killbox. As for mods, I think I have 30ish? I ridded myself of Dubs' mods recently and the interaction bubbles as well. Medical Tab and Allow Tool are absolute essentials, I have to agree. robotsinmyhead posted:This game is incredible.

But once you get the gist it kind of winds up as UI clutter and you can totally do without, yeah. It does get cluttered during things like a big fight, but it can be easily toggled on and off ingame, there's a button for it on the bottom right. e: one of the best reasons to play in dev mode is turbo speed but if you don't like to have cheats at your fingertips (I actually do but w/e) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1504723424 Smart Speed, allows turbo without dev mode

Does anyone have advice for whether to get Vegetable Garden or Rimcuisine? I'm interested in a mod that expands the whole cooking / food / drug production side of things, but these mods seem to a) tread on eachothers toes a lot and b) have a lot of unnecessary items within themselves that duplicate their own functions (like, a million different alcohols and sodas).

Rimcuisine is a lot lighter weight and has less (though still some) cruft. It also adds a neat system where instead of having a million different recipes, meals just get a mood bonus for every "uncommon (not vanilla) ingredient" used.

I like the fabric aspects and trees of Vegetable Garden, but the crops and especially the cooking/drinks adds way, way too much poo poo. Rimcuisine is excellent, though the ability to make stews in batches of 10 trivializes the 1 meal at a time of vanilla. There's also hardtack, which is basically vegetarian pemmican (but with 2-3 year shelf life!), so long term food stores are simpler. You can also dry meat and fruit to extend their shelf-life (or consolidate)... which those three together can arguably trivialize the need for refrigeration (assuming you've got the workforce). The uncommon and exotic ingredient markers are a tad different than things just not being vanilla. Rimcuisine adds things like oats and wheat as growth possibilities, but they're considered standard ingredients. Berries and agave are considered uncommon - essentially, any fruit is uncommon. I like that for the most part, there's some differentiation between the different plants that are added, either in terms of work per unit nutrition, growth rate, fertility sensitivity, or other things. When you start planting uncommon crops, onions do not die in cold snaps, whereas tomatoes and chickpeas do. Fruit trees take a massive amount of time to grow, but then they're constant suppliers of fruit that can again live through cold snaps. There's a fair bit of overlap, but not nearly as bad as Vegetable Garden (I think). I haven't found out (or bothered to look) for everything that's considered exotic - so far all I've found are truffles... but you can't grow those. They're also hard to spot on the ground, so they're actually a neat little, "oh yeah, a truffle!" find when I "select harvest" on an entire area of wilderness around the base because a fair number of things can grow wild, so you'll often get small clusters of wheat or dandelions (which are harvestable now) on temperate maps. When your cook grabs ingredients, they have normal functionality on what they grab (so as much out of a single stack as possible) for weak stew (simple meal) and hearty stew (fine meal). But, you can use this in conjunction with the % stockpile of Rimworld Search Agency to make a few stockpiles around the cook of a few uncommon and exotic ingredients, so instead of cooking a hearty stew with just venison and onions (+5 fine meal, +1 uncommon ingredient), you could potentially have 10 each of onions, berries, quinoa, chickpeas, and some truffles around the cook so they have to grab the whole stack of each, making a hearty stew with venison, onions, berries, quinoa, chickpeas, and truffle which winds up with an uncommon ingredient x4 (but I think it's limited to +2 or +3 moodlet) and exotic ingredient (+2 moodlet). You could also just do the lavish meal equivalent which has built in to the crafting bill of using a variety of ingredients (exceptional stew?), but that's also wasteful like lavish meals.

While we're doing the whole mod thing again, here's a question - has anybody seen a mod that changes the faction colours? Reason I ask is when using the mod that adds more (vanilla) factions on the map, they're still almost indistinguishable shades of the same colours. It'd be nice to have a game where I can have four outlanders, four tribes, three pirates, and still be able to tell them apart without squinting.

on the subject of food/farming mods, is Wild Cultivation worth using? I've already got RimCuisine, this seems to add similar stuff but also dumps a bunch of mushrooms and stuff into my growable foods list right from the start.
