HelloSailorSign posted:Holy poo poo that's a great idea about T1 androids, I hadn't even thought about sticking them in a highly limited zone. I use combat extended so it's a bit different for me. T3s are markedly larger than humans (size 1.4) which means they can carry more and have more hitpoints, they also come with a decent bit of armour and can be kitted out with some basic mods like an armoured frame. They also perform equivalent to a human, which is probably desirable. On the other hand they're really tall so they can't fit behind the combat extended cover so easily  But T3 is probably best yeah, they're more expensive but they're certainly tougher than humans. T2s probably make decent chaff but if you've got good quality equipment i'd probably put it on a T3.

I find myself always putting off building any because they take so much stuff and time to build. I've got a powerplant to expand dammit

It's really annoying having to manually gear up my colony of 17 for raids. Any tips? It would be nice if I could just click a button and everyone just rallied and geared up.

The ones that show up in raids though have incredible stats, like a huge buff to global work speed, slightly smaller than a T3 though, not sure about the armour but I think it's better than a T3. arbybaconator posted:It's really annoying having to manually gear up my colony of 17 for raids.

Haven't tried it but there's a mod called Defensive Positions that supposedly puts people into position. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=761219125&searchtext=defensive+positons Not sure if there's one for gear though. And heavy armour has a long delay to put it on anyway so you'd struggle. Your other option is to switch them to combat outfits, then draft/undraft everyone to reset their AI and they should beeline for their new clothes.

Honestly just keep everyone in combat gear unless they absolutely have to have some specialized modded work clothes or hostile environment outfits or whatever. There's a speed penalty but it's not that big a deal most of the time and it's better than being caught with your plasteel britches down.

At this point I'm considering building a T4 android to put my current T3 droid into. He has a perfect 20 construction skill since as it turns out, when you dont need to eat or sleep, you can do a LOT of wall smoothing

Having everyone in a flak vest/flak pants, with a helmet is what I do. Then I put the good armor in a specific outfit that I flip onto my fighters before fights. I didn't know there were mods to make this easier/better.

Love me some T2 droids chipping chunks in to blocks or cooking/butchering then cleaning/hauling when work orders are done. I just do not understand how to use tier 3/4 androids. They come with the mood requirements of normal pawns but have extremely limited means of giving them boosts. No sleep so no bedroom bonus, stuff like that. I also did a quest that popped up and had a T5 android around for awhile. Third time they snapped and started punching people's limbs off I dog piled the poo poo out of them and just kept going until I could put them in a sarcophagus. Just cannot get the hang of higher tier androids.

Fully sapient droids are a tricky one, yes. They still get all the benefits of fancy rec/dining rooms/beauty and meal quality, but don't have comfort/sleep needs. I generally assign them one work shift with the rest of the colony, and one when everyone's asleep, with big, 3-4 hour recreation spots in between when everyone's in the rec room. To max out their recreation as much as possible. You're still getting lots more work out of them than normal colonists. They can struggle to get really happy but they also don't have as many problems at the end of the day, really the only thing you need to do is make sure they have plenty of recreation, they have nothing else that runs out over time like hunger/sleep needs. Actual T5s are a big challenge though, with the ++ expansion however you can overwrite their minds with a regular colonist/droid and they will no longer hate everything but retain their cognitive faculties.

Slick, I originally made the T4 surrogate I have in space for my marksman to beam into and drop onto enemy outposts, but the local bandit groups have been quiet lately honestly the main reason I bothered with the T4 was because I had an Archotech part that can only be slapped into T4s and T5s. Eventually I'll have to see if T4 androids and T4 surrogates have the same stats

I have not delved deep into the android reprogramming stuff. Can you get in there and give the T3/4 ones, like, sanguine trait or something? That and iron-willed or something to make them not wig the gently caress out constantly. I also have to look into this T5 re-writing thing. I loved the poo poo out of it for the speed and immense hauling capability so if I could pull it out of the sarcophagus, copy/paste someone's brain into it and not have it punching people's heads off on the regular that would be awesome.

Gear up and go sounds like a fantastic combo with the TACS from Rimatomics, which gives you a few hours heads up before a raid arrives

Alright the economy expanded mod is hilarious because the equipment the new factions wear have a lower temperature threshold of 63F. Hell the upper side is a blistering 78F. I'm in a boreal forest near the south pole and whenever they show up they nearly instantly leave cause of the weather and usually there is at least 1 who ends up freezing to death before leaving. I made like 3k silver off one dying, dropping all their silver and then selling their gun which was worth like 600 silver.

Alright so I have the armor worn, its a "Walkblem officer armor cape", and it has absolutely zero insulation properties on it and its the ONLY thing they wear. Now the question is why are the humans wearing it have such a messed up comfortable temp range. Apparently though its being looked into I hope the author looks into the whole 2000% dodge chance on the armor what the hell.

The default size because I keep forgetting to make it slightly smaller  I have a CPU that's powerful as poo poo, but its powerful because it has like 12 cores  Rimworld can only use one of them

I tend to stick to default size maps as well because I usually end up with two or three of them running. One main colony, one offshore colony for raiding or whatever, and one underground colony beneath my main with DeepRim.

1 size up from default, but really trying this run through to keep it to 30 colonists. Trying 0 hauling dogs and using androids with Pick Up and Haul mod. I thought I was going to minimize number of animals but have a massive herd of buffalo and 5 Yorkies I've managed to neuter to prevent population explosion.

Yeah one size up here too, I ride around it on chocobos (desert aves whatever) from Alpha Animals and they haul too. Just designate your freezer for fertilized egg storage if you don't want any more.

Decided to sneak into a pristine ruins event(Real Ruins mod) even though I was tribal just to see if I could scavenge anything from the edge. Managed to find a working pod launcher and made it out like a kind with 123 advanced combonents, a vanometric power cell, a psychic emanator, a pain gun(albeit very damaged), like 40 medicine, and 30 android repair kits, barely made it out of there before getting pincered by the two biggest enemy factions.

I always take the animals with us. Even the chickens. I think the only animal I left behind was an iguana that joined in the last few months. I loaded her into a transport pod and launched her to an oasis.

Depends entirely what the errors are, but it's not a good sign. My heavily modded setup doesn't have any. You've likely got some incompatibilities or load order issues.

Is there an easy way to tell or trace which mod is causing which error? I've tried a bunch of load order guides but still have the issues it seems. Also tried the automated load order sorting tools. e: Does anyone have a heavily modded Combat Extended Fast Track xml I can take a look at?
