i've never had gourmet cause that many problems. it's scary when they wake up literally malnourished every day because their hunger decay is stupid high but pigging out on food really is not that big of a deal unless you are traveling and rations have been planned carefully. you should always have a large surplus of food of all things, to handle any of a dozen different situations or to sell off to a bulk goods trader. smack fiends aren't that big of a deal either because you can wall off any windfalls of dope you get until a trader comes by to collect them. beyond that you just farm healroot for your cash crop instead of drugs. the legitimate uses for drugs are narrow enough in this game that giving them up is a little painful, but absolutely worth it for a pawn with a good skill and passion in it. pyros, however...yeah, they are basically time bombs. i tend to keep them around anyway because most of my gameplay is frontloaded into the first couple of years when the struggle is real. even exiling a pyro that is unskilled has real consequences because i can force the pyro to do all the cleaning and hauling in the compound to free up the cooks, builders, and crafters. but once i'm past that precarious point and starting to think about longer term considerations, the pyros are always the first ones into the cryptosleep caskets so i don't have to worry about them.

Why do you need that many weapons stored in shelves? I usually just put decent quality weapons from raids that my pawns don’t need in the warehouse and sell them whenever a trader shows up

This isnt even including all the "tainted" stuff I've been scrapping.

My question is this: Why can't I sit around and play rimworld all day? I counted and I'm at 30 mods, which seems like a good place to stop. But that rpg style inventory looks good. I have mod manager, fishing, realistic planets, a weapon research mod, rimmunation outfits, rimefeller, rimatomics, terraforming, realistic ruins (which owns and creates dungeons to explore), and some other stuff. Questionable ethics I think. Also some ui and smaller stuff like that. I wanna try hacking mechanoids.

If you're just talking chestbursters though, that's a Hediff and something else to spawn the facehugger when the Hediff expires.

None of them are unmanageable, but again, the game throws so many colonists at you that there's no reason to put up with lovely ones. Even good passions aren't enough to make it worth their baggage, because you'll get two more recruitment opportunities before the month's over. Even cryptosleep pods are worth more as scrap than it is to hold on to an annoying colonist when banishing them is just -3 for a week.

Shelves are good for important storage (so you know exactly where the molotovs are when the infestation hits, etc.) but for regular bulk storage you might as well toss everything on the floor in a standard stockpile. Use the Expanded Storage mod if you want to be able to stack them. Weapons have a hidden sell price penalty though so I only make guns that I need and sell/melt the rest, and for some reason I'm always constantly short on steel once I get industry going so I'm loathe to waste it.

Randy sucks today, I really didn't expect this nicey-nicey run to be so hard with a half-decent biome and reasonable starters. Thanks for the suggestion of making paste instead of letting my colonists eat raw stuff, that's been great. Unfortunately, Ignacio, one of only two colonists out of five who can either plant or harvest crops has psychite withdrawal, a busted humerus and muscle parasites, leaving his manipulation at 0% and him basically useless. It feels like he's had parasites for-loving-ever (do they even go away on their own? we have no meds) and the withdrawal isn't exactly flying through the numbers. So, the colony is being held together by poor old one-armed Gerardon, who is an absolute legend, stopping planting crops only to harvest them. Problem is the his plants skill is a mere 3, so he's not exactly quick and if I see 'harvest botched' when gathering that rice we've tortuously grown and need so desperately many more times I might have a mental break. Randy isn't exactly kind with wildlife, either. Only a couple of hares and a fennec fox in the last few days, barely enough to keep us out of starvation. Traders are similarly poor, totally uninterested in our leather and boomalope milk stuff surplus. I guess the next step, were something to happen to Gerardon, will be to caravan to a nearby tile and hunt it clean. Get well Ignacio, we need you.

Disappointing Pie posted:Is there a good list of recommended mods anywhere? That depends. What are you looking for? Flesh Forge has a recent post someone'll probably find that's about good quality of life and minor tweak mods. Then, there are a number of changing vanilla to simplify things or even potentially negate negative things that are base in the game. And then you can have Jedi foxmen with bionic dicks riding thrumbo-muffalo hybrid creatures into combat while this snake lady cleans your base and you intermittently milk her.

Has anyone else played with industrial rollers mod? It can be glitchy to build, but glorious to behold on a chill settlement. If you’re looking for something to add more workflow traffic, you’ll loose hours of playtime just fiddling with the things. Currently have a base set up where pawns chuck everything into a hole in the wall and it all gets sorted out and sent to assembly lines and neat storage on conveyor belts. Its a huge steel hog though. Recommended if you grit your teeth and manage to stop pawns interfering with it via various jiggery pokery.

I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to answer my question of "how do I stop raids from ruining my haygrass fields?" It's not that the raiders are setting my poo poo on fire, but that my cannons are blowing giant craters in the fields as they geek the incoming pirates. Pushing my defense line out in front of the fields would be a bit of a challenge since the terrain is less than optimal that far forward. And I'm not giving up my cannons. They're too useful when 100+ person raids show up to delete a good chunk of them before they even get into firing range.Disappointing Pie posted:2 questions. Any awesome LP’s of this game? Cause playing apparently isn’t enough... Open the workshop. Sort by most popular all time, filter for Mod and version 1.0, go hog wild. Once your done adding all of the things that look interesting/useful to you, play until you find something you don't like, then go back to the workshop and look for a solution to that. Repeat until you have 200 mods and it takes a full fifteen minutes to get into game.

Leave your actual defense line where it is; the point of the entrance is to just funnel enemies into an area that'll keep your crops insulated from artillery fire. So, no roofs over the entrace.

I'm only on like, 30 mods right now (gotta get that prison labor and have bioreactors I can stuff troublemakers into after I rip their organs out) but the loadtime is a thing. If I turn on "run in background" will it load in the background? One thing I've noticed is that if I click to a browser or w/e the game doesn't load while it doesn't have window focus and that makes getting in obnoxious even with my few mods.

I guess it loads in the background because whenever I start up RimWorld is when I see 1) what's new in RimWorld thread and 2) what stupid derail is in USPol and then POOF somewhere in there the game loads. I'm definitely a fan of the external wall that funnels people in. Combined with your turrets, and it's likely you'll have an even better time of defense. Edit: I went back in the thread and looked at the images that included more of your defense line. You could snake a bended wall so they exit out of the left side, before the haygrass. You might end up changing your defense line somewhat, but probably not a ton. Whereas with mine there's a huge hallway with 2 bends, you'd probably be fine with 1 bend since your turrets will be doing a lot of work. You could even have two entrances, one that spits out before each bunker. What usually ends up happening is the raids come in fairly single file (or double file, or triple file, however wide your hallway) and if you've got sufficient firepower, they just keep stumbling through the opening and getting shot down. With huge bases/high wealth, I advise against a single wide hallway. Double is kinda iffy too - it makes the raids take sooooo much longer when they're slowly presenting themselves to you, as there's the game's reorganization of the pawns as it decides at some point they can no longer occupy the same point in space.

Realistic Ruins is such a fun mod. I started a new colony and apparently it dropped me on one of these ruins (I didn't know that was possible) and it's some schizophrenic nightmareland of a base. It was almost too much because I was queuing up too much deconstruction and almost starved. Having legendary beds on day one is pretty swell.

Rimworld is so thoroughly modifiable that, given the experience and motivation, you can code a mod to implement literally anything. Modding Rimworld is less like tinkering with the game and more like actually working on it as an in-house developer. Some things are prohibitively difficult to modify because they're so deeply ingrained in the codebase... but you could still completely upend that codebase if you wanted to. Nothing's off-limits.
