Yeah, it's great! Sometimes you get lucky early game with a pod crash survivor that somehow has an assault rifle or some such but you don't want them outside of that.

Strip the bodies, kill the survivors, turn them into compost/pigs.

Does caravan distance / trade frequency matter? I have both outlander factions connected fairly closely by road to my colony. I just continue alternating visits between the two factions for my trade. If I send a caravan to a more distant location will I get more favorable trade? Also, does anyone have any sense about how long it takes for other factions' colonies to replenish their goods for trading? My two trading partners are seriously 0.5 days connected by road - I've been sending single sword-wielding paws with a couple of simple meals, and can do it very frequently.

You can end pretty much any infestation with a strong melee guy with a personal shield clogging a doorway and a whole bunch of guns behind them. People really oversell how bad infestations are in this thread

My last base had two infestations, both completely contained within my dining hall. So I set about a new project, swapped my dining room and guest barracks, rebuilt the walls out of plasteel-reinforced concrete with occasional embrasures, and set up remote-detonated incendiary explosives. Never got another infestation again, but I promise you my visitors knew their loving place.

People really oversell how bad infestations are in this thread My underground bases have 3 wide hallways with many junctions. I set up 3 melee and 10 ranged at a junction point and the bugs are cleared fairly easily. The burrowing time removed a lot of the, “this is poo poo” of infestations. Friendly fire mod makes it much simpler too - the front row of ranged are often directly supporting the melee while back row is firing at the back row of bugs. Get a pair of chain shotguns and let er rip! I like infestations for the kibble meat and insect jelly (just about to make sirenium in current game, I’ll see how it manages the hunter who lost their daughter in a recent raid). I find infestations much less bullshit than 45 pirates with 8 doomsday rocket launchers.

Since when have mortars been able to fire stone chunks or was that an unintended thing from one of the mods I have installed.

Telsa Cola posted:Since when have mortars been able to fire stone chunks or was that an unintended thing from one of the mods I have installed. Do you have something that adds catapults? Because my guess is that whatever is implementing that changed the chunks to be considered ammo, rather than making the catapult consider chunks as ammo. Gonna go ahead and check this myself though to make sure I'm not missing something obvious.

His mechanics are good, but the overall mods could use a couple balance passes.

The bone component is definitely very over powered. After doing all the bone refining research, you can start turning bones into bonecrete and ash that's inflammable and has more durability and beauty that most other materials. Oh, and can also be transformed into plasteel.

Yeah the bone mod I've been considering taking out, and I'm generally not one to care for balance. I haven't even done the research stuff but having 7000 of a pretty good building resource lying around at all times sure makes things less interesting.

The main issue I had with the bone mod was just that you get so much of the goddamn stuff. If they cut it by a factor of maybe 10 it'd be a lot better, cos a lot of the refined products are really good. Maybe cut the refining efficiency a bunch.

There's an option in the mod menu to reduce it to whatever % you like. Still, I agree with y'all with its a bit overpowered. Food that stores forever and makes great furniture. Oh hey if you ran into an Antediluvian in your travels how would you go about sucking its soul or taking it home? It's got 80 damage soaking

If I discovered a vampire's crypt you better believe I'd rather put it in a rocket and fire it off into space than go the traditional route and open it, they ALWAYS wake up and get you before you can stake them. Always.

Antedilluvian is 3rd gen and I reloaded that encounter. Seemed a little buggy that the Nesferatu antedilluvian was chilling on a Rimworld with a... 4th gen sire??? And her name was Sarah not Absimiliard Now its a 4th gen and well lets see what happens

Cool side note: When your Vampire gets a high enough melee skill through Potence, their swings can cause small explosions on high dice rolls.
