I eventually gave up on animal and pawn hauling and just installed that cleaner and hauler robot mod. They do a good enough job and consume power as well as can be murdered, so I feel they're pretty fair overall.

They need so much food though! And they keep popping out more! :ohdear:

Also cremating is a hauling task so I had a whole pile of corpses making bad moods until I realized what was up and reenabled hauling on pawns.

I think (assuming you're not a cannibal clan) that you can just create a small freezer where you keep dumping every dead raider you get in there and letting your pups have access to it can deal with the food problem. This also bypasses the whole butchering debuff problem, which you would get if you made them into kibble instead.

of course, you might need more than that if you go through a dry spell on raids.

The next movie better not make me shave anything :(

Build a stone room with a stone door. make it not a home area. haul bodies/contaiminated clothing in. throw molotov. the room will get to 3k degrees and burn it all to ash. no hauling job needed. This room can heat a large area if you connect it to a central heating plan. I had a huge under ground base get the halls to a nice 130 mid winter for a few days.

I just started an ice sheet run. Things were going OK, got a sun lamp room up with potatoes but I wasn't fast enough and they didn't grow in time. Colonists started dropping due to hunger, all three were at extreme malnutrition in bed when a mysterious man in black show up and joins.



Two minutes later all my original colonists die. New guy has <1 mining and crafting, but he can shoot and already downed a raider...hoping he can convince her to join or I don't think we'll survive.

e: they didn't make it. :(

e2: tried another ice sheet and another man in black showed up so I guess he's like some sort of AI lifeline? Looks like next time the plan is to rush research geothermal with a couple research benches, I'm just not having enough time to grow stuff before I run out of food.

Ice sheet and sea ice are fairly brutal if you are adamantly against cannibalism for the most part. It's a little easier in terms of food if you only use a single pawn.

Dunno, I haven't done the math to see if rice with the lovely soil penalty is still faster than potatoes which are supposed to tolerate lovely soil better.

e: anyway, finally got a viable colony going. Two of my original colonists died of starvation, the man in black came in and saved Lynn, they fell in love, got married and survived the winter. Added several more stragglers over the next year and honestly at this point it's getting pretty boring with nothing to hunt and hardly and traders coming through. Also power is starting to limit my expansion and I like building bases too much to keep playing this one.

What's relatively new is that a bit below freezing no longer automatically kills every type of crop, potatoes tolerate cold better than rice does. Healroot can also survive a very cold winter pretty easily fyi.

How does the resettlement thing work? I have a really stable colony right now, but I'm gonna run out of resources eventually and I'm kinda thinking about loading up a shitload of pods with people and supplies and jetting over somewhere else and starting over (basically just with full research and some essentials).

Can you leave colonists behind?

there are settings in the options to change the maximum amount of settlements you can control at the same time, so you can run up to 5 at once.

The way I do it is to just keep the setting at 2 so I can send some good builders to pootle off ahead of time to the new site and get the basic structure up, then start ferrying stuff over. You'll want to deconstruct stuff to get the components and that back if you can't just uninstall it.

Kibble/meat eaters are a pain in quantity. I just slaughter them usually but I do have a cobra I'm fond of so I let roam and eat what she wants.

Also I like to butcher raider's corpses, make valuable cowboy hats and jackets out of the human leather, then if it so happens the tribe that invaded me is not a warring tribe I'll offer the hats as gifts to them to get back on speaking terms, then sell them the hats and jackets, made from their own dudes. Rimworld is not a nice place.

Muffalos are the most most common/efficient, but any decent sized herbivore will fit the bill. Elephants, rhinos, megasloths, and alpacas are all good pack animals.

Elephants are great because they also make awesome war animals. This is made even better by the Giddy Up mod. You too can recreate ancient Carthage.

I really adore the Giddy Up mod. Combine that with Megafauna and Dinosauria and I really enjoy having a pack of mufflos supporting a triceratops and a stegosaurus caravan, with colonists riding utah raptors going 2x speed on the map because everyone's riding. Animal Armor mod can make War Bears a definite thing with the bear armor.

That visitors and trade caravans bring along mounts too and you can have a little stable for them while they visit is very :3:

And then you get raided by mounted tribals.

I think Nature's Pretty Sweet added Giant Snails, and one wandering tribal was riding a snail (something like 0.5 c/s movement speed). His buddies passed out from exhaustion waiting for him at the map edge and he eventually collapsed from malnutrition before exiting the map.

There definitely needs to be a lower boundary on what is generated as ridable for pawns, where anything less than walking speed either isn't selected as a mount or it gets rerolled for another one.

I don't perform warcrimes. I kill all the people with red names who are trying to kill me. The red names hurt my colonists. The red names have bits that can fix my colonists.

This is simply them paying for the harm they have caused. Restitution. Quite literally making my colonists whole under the frontier law. Sometimes I even let them go with enough parts to theoretically survive.

It is always Friday night, motherfuckers

I've got a colony of about 13 people that includes an elf, a half-elf, a hobbit, an argonian, a camel man and a bear man, two vampires, a werewolf, and an android. Many of them are wizards, a couple are jedi. We had a dwarf ranger who died, but not before bonding with a T-rex who is still hanging around the colony, mostly being used to ride around on. I also have a giant slug mechanoid that produces edible slime, a sheep with metal wool, and a platypus. I haven't started a cult yet but I probably will soon.

This game is ridiculous and I love it.
